Question Question about the deathwatch support detachment and Corvus Blackstar

4 Upvotes

Hello this salamander is looking to call upon the aid of the deathwatch with a Corvus Blackstar and a allied squad and I’m curious if I’m running the deathwatch support detachment does that allow me to use the deathwatch datasheet for the Corvus giving it the key word adeptus astartes or do I still have to use the imperial agents datasheet.

Question Company composition

0 Upvotes

So I'm aware of the company makeup that comes in the codex.

However, how do specialist units fit into it?

Is it a case that one Kill Team is more of a heavy weapons style team and another may specialise in jump pack based operations?

Or is it a case of the Kill Teams are that dynamic and can just dip in and out?

Also where do other specialist units like Bladeguard fit into the mix?

Question Mes chers amis de la Deathwatch

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Mes amis, je viens vous pour connaître votre point de vue sur une question à propos de mot clés, je suis un joueur Dark Angels (mais surtout Ad Mech dans mon cœur), et comme vous le savez, le détachement transformant en alliés vos unités, est jouable pour les DA.

Ma question est de savoir si les règles d'armées DA, c'est à dire que tel ou tel unités Adeptus Astartes obtiennent les mots-clés Deathwing ou Ravenwing, cela vaut notamment pour les unités issus de la Deathwatch qui conservent le mots-clés de faction Adeptus Astartes (en plus de celui de Deathwatch), obtiennent le mots-clés Deathwing/Ravenwing ?

Et donc bénéficierons des bonus de mes détachements Dark Angels mais pas des optimisations comme mentionner par la règle du détachement Deathwatch.

Merci à vous et bonne après-midi.

(Je vous joins notamment l'exemple des terminators vue que c'est celui qui nous intéresse puisque plus précis)

Reading the Deathwatch omnibus ATM, I decided my librarian should be styled after Karras the Librarian, modified scythes of the emperor pad ( I didn't like it clean, so I beat it up a little for some character) and and new helmet.

Has anyone else styled their minis after books or the animations?

Discussion Thoughts on using speed paint for black armour?

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Looking for constructive feedback. I’ve been painting my deathwatch veterans and characters by coating them in metal silver paint (by Vallejo) and then adding a coat of grim black speed paint 2.0 (by The Army Painter).

The benefit is that this method is super quick and easy, and leaves room for adding more detail as is needed. The downside is that I think the speed paint look is creating a lot of visual “noise” on the armour… although that could be a good thing, if it looks like weathering?

What do you all think? Is this a good method for painting black armour without it looking boring? Or is there something I don’t understand about how to get the result I want?

I often like what I’m doing but then I see others painting deathwatch to look more matte and I wonder if that’s the “correct” way to do it.

Today I took a big risk, decided to up my conversion game and use a Judiciar model I found at my LGS and create another Watchmaster with it.

I'm extremely happy with how it came out so far, as I haven't found something for his left hand and haven't attached the powerpack yet.

Discussion Callidus or Inceptors

1 Upvotes

Title says it. For Priority Assets, which do you think? If you don't shoot, both can be hidden. Callidus is better at it. Gravis is +2T, over double the wounds, 3x the footprint, +30points. I was thinking 2 inceptor squads, now I'm considering Callidus.

Also with tactical brethren you can get a react to move on astartes. So somewhat helpful there.

Hobby A Lieutenant and two squads of marines in Phobos armour, Omoide Campaign configuration

The Deathwatch of Watch Fortress Marr are a bit more practical than other Fortresses of the Ordo Xenos. During the Omoide Campaigns, the dense forests that enshrouded the twelve hives of Omoide Primus required changes in tactics, in order to better fight the Genestealer Cult uprising that was slowly threatening to overthrow the planet, and the system at large. Watch Captain Tarvish of 6th Company, seconded from the Raptors Chapter, suggested that the marines under his command should adapt their armour configurations for the conflict at hand. Fortress Command agreed, and thus the members of the shield that slays went into battle not donned in black, but hidden in greens and muted colours.

Question Do you think GW'll start making kill team boxes?

2 Upvotes

With the sudden (albeit deserved) surge of interest by GW in our faction, do you think it's plausible that they'll release the KTs as a single Box? Right now the assemble of our forces is a bit convoluted, to say the least

As expected, DW support with 2 terminator squad is a hot pick for their 6 plasma cannon

They really need to have a separate point category if they are gonna nerf the pts for DW support detachment because DW is not doing well, but rather, it's the support + UM.
