Warhammer 40k - Unit Review Library 128 - Agents of the Imperium, Subductor Squad


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!
442 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #127, I am 315 reviews behind! (losing ground here)

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

Agents of the Imperium, Subductor Squad

10th Edition Index

Just like the Exaction Squad and the Vigilant Squad the Subductor Squad is a unit of the Adeptus Arbites, the Judge Dredd sort of police of the 41st millennium!

What is the difference with this unit? Close Combat Focus! Shock Mauls, shields and pistols only!

There are 10 Arbites and a Cyber mastiff for 110pts.

Let's check their stats!

Stats

Movement 6"
Toughness 3
Save 3+/4+(armor/invul/Feel No Pain) * (No invul on the cyber Mastif)
Wounds 1
Ld 7+
OC 1

Weapons

Ranged:

Arbites shotpistol

Range 12", 1 Attack, Hits on a 4+, S4, Ap 0, 1 Damage each
Pistol (This unit can shoot this weapon even if they are in engagement with an enemy unit.)

Melee:

Shock maul

2 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S4, Ap -1, 1 Damage each

Mechanical bite (From the Cyber mastiff)

3 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S4, Ap 0, 1 Damage each

Wargear Abilities

The leader in the unit has a Nuncio Aquila (Aura), a 3" aura that makes enemies have -1 on their Battleshock rolls.

Abilities

Dedication to Duty

If they get killed in combat, if they have not yet hit in this turn, you roll a 4+ and get to do your strikes before being removed from play.

In short I will call these a 4+ Fight on Death ability.

Thoughts

Not crazy over balanced, but what can you expect for 110pts? There are some units that have scarier abilities but then there are far less models. The Fights on Death makes it probable that even if they do not get the drop on the enemy, that they will manage to hurt them.
Perhaps, this makes them a good blocking unit to protect your shooting interests. Of course, if the enemy is not good at Close Combat, then they are quite decent so charge away!

Now just 2 more Imperial Agents to do!

That makes 14 Imperial Agents Reviewed putting them on 82.35% Completed! The total Completed is 13.07% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
