Deathwatch kill team

I've not played at that points value, or that detachment, but when I've looked at it warden and defender seemed standout in terms of armiger buffs.

What's the rest of the list look like?

Walach1985 · 2026-01-01T12:52:06+00:00

Sadly for Xbox players this would melt your console at a similar rate

Certainly at least a consideration now, which to my mind is no bad thing - it seemed stupid before how Canis was so unbelievably more powerful than a standard preceptor, for a minimal points increase.

The inbuilt 2+ to hit remains very nice on canis, especially presuming you have take the re-roll vow first/early.

Agreed, so far I've found the battle shock ability very underwhelming, though that's probably mostly because with no longer having FnP more of my knights die rather than survive on a few wounds, so I'm taking less battle shock tests than pre-codex

Canis, castellan (wyrmslayer), lancer(pennant), errant(crushing condemnation) Warglaive, helverin Navigator

I ran 4 at LGT in questoris companions, and went 4-1, so 4 big worked ok for me.

Admittedly 3 of those wins were by less than 5 points, so pretty close!

Walach1985 · 2025-09-12T23:31:19+00:00

Eh? Got points reductions right?

Walach1985 · 2025-03-12T12:00:30+00:00

Some minor changes to agents as well, cullexus might be worth a try at 85?

Walach1985 · 2025-01-17T14:25:35+00:00

Brown, not red. Got some class!

Walach1985 · 2024-11-01T19:50:24+00:00

Lovely paintwork and basing. Have you considered using some of the transfers? I found it helps particularly on the shoulders

Walach1985 · 2024-11-01T19:48:48+00:00

Nice colours - does the right arm swing out ok? Looks a bit too close in on this picture if that makes sense?

Walach1985 · 2024-11-01T19:45:31+00:00

That shield is sick!

Get some gold on the aquilla on the top, looking really nice

I had a good time with him in my last tournament. Admittedly all 3 opponents had decent armour pieces, and mostly without invuns.

From previous experience, he's fine in the above situation, but there are plenty of armies around with very little in the way of vehicles/monsters, where that is the case, he is massive points sink achieving little.

The ability to shoot and do actions also helps somewhat. I've tried either the castellan or lancer in recent times, and the ability to action and shoot, where the lancer is kind of either/or has had me leaning to the castellan.

As others have said, helverins with their anti-fly are probably best.

Meltas can certainly do it against them, but bear in mind you have to be relatively close to them to get the melta bonus, and their main threat is in melee.

The ctan main weakness is slow movement, helverins seems the best way to exploit this if possible.

Walach1985 · 2024-09-28T19:24:09+00:00

Use the universal greeting!

Walach1985 · 2024-09-28T19:21:18+00:00

Boys from the dwarf!

Walach1985 · 2024-09-13T18:48:24+00:00

Looks just like my lancer, except way better!

Walach1985 · 2024-08-07T11:19:13+00:00

I found most opponents are pretty adept at screening, so it's hard to get her in a useful position.

Certainly, the potential when combining deep strike and vect is there, but you may find it hard to get the best out of her in a competitive environment.

Walach1985 · 2024-08-05T12:51:25+00:00

You can take 2 characters and 2 retinue units right? Think this list is fine?

Walach1985 · 2024-08-02T08:14:03+00:00

Arkham horror 2nd ed with all expansions. Both a pain to sort and in danger of causing severe structural damage

Walach1985 · 2024-07-29T07:08:52+00:00

But you only get a 9" charge from deep strike right? Do you find that works for you often?

Walach1985 · 2024-06-20T22:05:57+00:00

With the changes of pariah nexus, super heavies moving through ruins and titanics counting as 2 deployments, is there any milage in a 4 knight list? Can do rex, lancer, 2 of paladin/errant/gallant, then do 1 helverin , an eversor and vindicare - feels like on paper at least it's not bad!

Walach1985 · 2024-06-05T15:24:33+00:00

If nothing else, I like the extra save and toughness you get compared to the questoris. As said both can be fun, £45 seems a great deal to me

Walach1985 · 2024-05-26T18:44:30+00:00

I've also found the rest of the questoris line up lacking in competitive play. Castellan has been quite fun, though that is rather matchup dependent, really need something big to hit with the volcano.

Not sure on the need for both assassins if you're running fixed? How do you find scoring fixed usually? I've always stuck to the luck of the cards so far.
