Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Deathwatch

Product Information

Deathwatch get a selection of stratagems suited to their role as alien hunters, plus a few more generalist ones which assist them with things like making use of their special issue ammunition. Note that sometimes when discussing faction-specific stratagems in other articles we’ll give it two scores, one for its use-case and one for when it’s irrelevant; we’ll not bother here and you can simply assume for yourselves that a stratagem is bad if it targets AELDARI and you’re playing against Chaos Knights or something. Battle Tactics Suffer Not the Alien – No Mercy, No Respite – Score 1VP at the end of the battle for each enemy unit your DEATHWATCH units destroyed with the TYRANIDS, AELDARI, ORK, NECRONS, or T’AU EMPIRE keywords. Beyond that, there’s a few key pieces in here which offer something you just can’t get anywhere else. The relics definitely offer something here, with the Dominus Aegis and Tome of Ectoclades standing out – a 5+ invulnerable saves aura isn’t unique, since all Marines can access the Psychic Fortress power, but it obviates the need to rely on a casting roll, or to worry about a key unit getting popped if you go second, or to bring a Librarian at all, depending on your list. The Tome is only a once per game effect, but re-roll wounds is very powerful and is rarely given out; here it’s a 6″ aura that affects all CORE units, which are probably what you’re building around. That offers a significant boost in damage output against a key unit or units. Astra Militarum are the rank-and-files of the Imperium of Man. These foot soldiers know great losses as they know great triumphs, and the 40K Combat Patrol: Astra Militarum box lets you experience just that. The Asra Militarum are more or less a 21st-century army that was thrown into the 40 th century with a few additional bells and whistles to face unspeakable horrors. Veteran units. Every member of the Deathwatch is a veteran Space Marine, and it’s reflected in the units available to them. If you want to play the most tacticool operators that the Space Marine codex allows, these are your guys.

Their central base is known as the “Watch Fortress,” and it is strategically positioned near the Jericho Reach, a region of space rife with xenos threats. From here, they monitor and respond to xenos incursions using specific ordos (departments), each dedicated to combating a specific xenos race. For example, there is an Ordo Xenos for Tyranids and another for the Aeldari. What’s In The Box? We wanted to see what the best value was on all of these armies, so that getting started in Warhammer 40k could be easier. After all, the Combat Patrols are intended to be starting points in building an army. GW has used two methods to attempt to balance the boxes against one another. First,although the models in the box set may have many weapon options, there’s a particular loadout you’re supposed to equip your models with. Much of the uniqueness in Deathwatch units is covered in the Kill Teams section above, but there are a few other choices in here which are in datasheet form. HQ Watch Master The Space Marines, all of the chapters who get Combat Patrol boxes, all are performing extra well, I think, because they have those Impulsors in there. Those are by far the most expensive vehicles in any of the Combat Patrols. The only Combat Patrol that beats them is the Drukhari, because they get both a Ravager and a Raider.Buy from Element Games) Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol Analysis: What’s the Best Value and What’s the Worst Value? Teleportarium – 1CP –Use during deployment (at Step 10, per the most recent FAQ) – one DEATHWATCH INFANTRY, DREADNOUGHT, or BIKER unit gain the Teleport Strike ability from Codex: Space Marines (i.e. deep strike). Use once in Combat Patrol/Incursion, twice in Strike Force, or three times in Onslaught games. Some powerful flexibility, opening up deep striking to units that can’t normally access it. B The Combat Patrol kits are an entire army in a box. As the name implies, each one contains a complete Combat Patrol-sized force of 25 Power or 500 points. That makes them perfect for getting started with the smaller-sized games of Warhammer 40,000, which are full of fast-paced action and a great way to learn the rules for your new army.
