    Small correction, there actually has been a change to the Corvus Blackstar since the last DW index. It used to be you could transport an entire kill team in the corvus, regardless of how many models or what model size were in the unit, as the transport capacity stated "12 Infantry Models or ONE kill team". It now says that it can transport "12 kill team models" , meaning kill teams have to follow model size restrictions, so you can't put a unit with terminators / bikers into one like before. Corvus is no longer a clown car, but still pretty good.

      @VanguardTactics  21 день тому +1

      I believe this was already updated in an FAQ previously with the Corvus in the Imperial Agents Codex, so with what mike is saying is from the Imperial Agents codex when referring to changes not from the index

      @@VanguardTactics Yeah that's right, they changed it after they cut DW. I do think this is still an important change to note though, you could pull off some insane transport manoeuvres playing DW previously, a lot of DW players (like me) would have to rethink how they play the faction based on that change alone.

    It's so good to have my army of nearly twenty years back! I've had a Deathwatch themed army since the 5th edition codex, and the original Kill Team before that. And once they got their own codex, I was on that like a shot. But then they got taken away. But now we're back!

    Great to see Mike is an advocate for the Gravis Captain holding the theif of secrets. When I started playing 40k last year I learned a lot from your deathwatch index video. Now that my starting army is back I was excited to see your guys take on the refurbished index.
    One of the stealth buffs not mentioned in the video is that the spectrus killteam now has an ability that grants any attached leader both scout 6 and infiltrate. Now that phobos librarian can scout as well as infiltrate!

      It's worse than the original index. The detachment rule no longer applies to your entire army, only units with the Mission Tactics ability (so only the index units). Most stratagems got nerfed. Most kill teams are at 10-man fixed unit sizes which makes some of them unaffordable. Datasheet rules are nice, but overall its a downgrade

      Stratagems now cover all weapons, not just bolt weapons; plasma and melta just got better.
      Increased ap and damage across the board.
      The new kill teams are killer. 5 inceptors and 5 JP assault ints, all with pistol keyword? Deadly at range and in melee.
      Aggressors, eradicators and heavy ints packaged together? Tanky as.
      Can double up on regular captain and deathwatch captain for double cheap/free strat.
      Paying for a full squad helps prevent min maxing and cheese, meaning less dumb balancing tricks and easier datasheet control.
      This is 100% a pure ranged infantry ball detachment, with great units and can still do well in melee.

Throw it on a Gravis captain, put him in Indomitor, and after their first fight he's got a Strength 12 power fist and a Strength 8 Chainsword, both doing 4 damage apiece at AP 4 and 3 respectively.

    Video at 9:00 says you get +2 Attacks for the Gravis Captain Extra Attacks, Extra Attacks states that they can't benefit from such Extra Attacks, how does this work out?

    • @dirtyblonde1011
      @dirtyblonde1011 22 дні тому

      The Extra Attacks keyword just means that you get to attack with that melee weapon as well, as opposed to needing to choose between one or the other. Since the buff affects the weapon profile itself, I'd assume that it still benefits from Extra Attacks but the buff is only intended to affect the primary melee weapon for the instance of combat.
      Either that, or GW is gonna realize how disgusting some characters are going to become in melee. Perfect example is Adrax Agatone - base weapon stats: 5 attacks, 2+ WS, ST10, AP2 and flat 3 damage is already gross for anything facing him. But now he could potentially 1v1 a Knight in melee and win in a single round, if ALL named characters are eligible for Deathwatch lists

    The detachment actually got nerfed which nearly nobody noticed. The mission tactics used to apply to the entire army in the original index. Now it only applies to the units that have the Mission Tactics ability, which literally is only the index units. So any unit you take from the space marine codex doesn't benefit from your detachment rule. The "Rounds" stratagems used to also be usable by 2 kill team units or 1 other unit. Now its only 1 kill team unit. So thats a significant nerf.
