Warhammer 40k - Unit Review Library 124 - Deathwatch, Watch Master


Source

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!

Now known as the Unit Review Library!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!

Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.

I should have started when 10th edition launched!
435 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #124, I am 311 reviews behind!

Not picking randomly at the moment, need to finish Imperial Agents and Deathwatch before they change as explained Here

Deathwatch, Watch Master

10th Edition Index

The Watch Master is the Deathwatch equivalent of a Captain in a Space Marine Chapter. Steeped in lore and experience on how to hunt and kill the many aliens that threaten the Imperium.

Armed with a Vigil Spear, he cuts an imposing figure. We are will definitely see him in the new Codex Agents of the Imperium.

He costs 105pts to field and $37 to purchase.

Stats

Movement 6"
Toughness 4
Save 3+/4+(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 5

OC 1

Weapons

Ranged:

Vigil Spear

Range 24", 2 Attack, Hits on a 2+, S4, Ap 0, 2 Damage each

Melee:

Vigil Spear

6 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S6, Ap -2, D3 Damage each
Lance (On a turn that this unit makes a charge add +1 to Wound rolls)

Abilities

Strategic Knowledge

While leading a unit, the unit can Advance and Shoot and Charge. Thus making all weapons Assault Weapons as well as Move-Advnace-Charge Threat range

Thoughts

The Watch Master can either join a Proteus Kill Team or Deathwatch Veterans. If you could only fit 100pts for the unit - then go for the Deathwatch Veterans because they could still field 2x Frag Cannons/Infernus Bolters as well as 2x Deathwatch Thunderhammers. With the Watch Master its 205pts for 6 models in a transport.

However, if points was not a problem. 360pts for a 10 man Proteus with all the Terminator Heavy Weapons as well as 4 Deathwatch Heavy Weapons, they could be a sprinting firebase that is still not a pushover in combat unless you have a proper melee army.

And that's it! I managed to review ALL the Deathwatch Datasheets before they disappear! Some of them are going into the new Imperial Agents Codex and some of them, unfortunately, shall be going to legends... does not mean I won't be building those squads one day anyway...

Now just 6 more Imperial Agents to do.

That makes 11 Deathwatch Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 100% Completed! The total Completed is 12.77% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
