In addition, though not an IC, Mr. Thor (Rock dude that throws a thunderhammer) has EW as well.

Of the SM only Calgar and Lysander have EW with not customizing.

While not ridiculous, I've not been too sold on Artificier Armor. I used to include it on my captain all the time, but eventually came to feel that if he's getting hit by something that defeats power armor, it probably defeats Artficier Armor as well, either through being AP2 or a power weapon strike. Captains are fairly fragile with or without it. In my experience the Artificer Armour didn't prevent that often enough to be worth the relatively significant additional points. Better to have a decent killer while minimizing the potential points loss.

if he has a command squad with him, artificer is worth it IMO....

he goes from a 16% fail rate to an 8% fail rate for his armor save. when fighting against things like seer councils, this makes him damn near impossible to kill.
