That video is, like, the first time I've ever heard a voice attributed to an Eldar that didn't have that funny reverb effect.

Might just be their vox system that creates the reverb effect?

Nah, you see Eldar speaking in person without their helmets on in various games (the only times we hear them speak, really) and it's still there.

So wait, the bikes in those formations are permanently attached to the vet squad (unless the all die)? Really? It's the Overkill formation all over again..

I thinks its more like if a IC etc. is in the UNIT not the Killteam itself ?

Relics:
Super special ammo (10 points)
When used with bolt pistol, bolter or silece bolter, 6 to wound have Instand Death

Angelis beacon (30 points)
Works like a normal beacon but once per game, at the beginning of your Movement Phase you can remove a Deatchwatch unit from the battlefield (even if in combat) and Deep strike the unit at 6" of the bearer of the beacon.

Dominus Aegis (20 points)
If bearer does not move, his unit gets 4++

Osseus Key (15 points)
Clavis. Additional, if bearer attacks a vehicle roll a D6. 1 - no effect. 2-3 Vehicle suffers a glancing hit. 4+ Vehicle suffers pen. hit.

Thief of Secrets (20 points)
Power sword + After a model suffers an unsaved woud bearer learns all weaknesses of the objetive. From them on if attack to a model which weaknesses have been learned, wound on 2+. For example, after a Carnifex suffers an unsaved wound, bearer may wound any Carnifex on a 2+.

Ectoclades book (10 points)
At the beginning of your turn bearer may choose one Mission Tactic. When doing so, bearer and his unit gain that misión tactic, additionally to the one granted normally.

Oh man thats cool. the thief of secrets is super cool in particular.

To be honest, games are rarely consistent with the fluff.

How do you own the codex when it's not even on sale yet? Just curious if you can answer.

Thank you for posting greatly appreciated. I am almost wishing you would stop, I am getting excited for this

Does it Apply to Dedicated Transports?

**Nactor**

Hehe , the Thief of Secrets is like a baby-gorechild : it needs to learn b4 wreaking things

*That* makes the Kill Teams very interesting - one or two packers to get the reroll on charges. Or let the guy with the special combat weapon lurk in back then jump up to a charge position.

Some stories can get them early so they have time to prepare display areas and stuff.

Well, I have my contacts here and there .... Cannot say really. Sorry. But I usually get everything the week before the pre-order ...

**nudibranch**

Just clarifying: do all units in the kill team formation form a single inseperable squad?

Let's go:

The sprue (I would post a picture, but I do not know how....Warseer was easier ...

Well the sprue has:

2x Heavy thunder hammers
12 shoulder pads for different chapters
1x Bolter/Heavy flamer thing
1x Frag cannon
2x Shields
A lot of power swords
1x combi weapon
5 back packs
A lot of heads
Couple of shotguns
Couple of silence bolter
1x Xenothing sword
and some other stuff

Is that in addition to the stuff for the actual Deathwatch Veterans?

Short answer: Yes

Long answer: Yes and I thing its really good. For example, the Malleus Kill team (the one designed vs HS)
Take a unit of 5 Vets. Give them 3 Missile Launchers. Add 2 Termies, and give them 2 Cyclon Missile Launchers. You get a unit of 7 models, that fires 7x S8, AP3 shots, that reroll armounr pen ves HS vehicles. Not bat at all.

Or give them the Frag cannon instead and a Drop Pod.

Possibilities are inmense!!!!!

**Slayer-Fan123**

Is Silence Bolter a mistranslation for Storm Bolter?

Because those finally being able to use Special Ammunition is worth a good amount to me.

Silence Bolter is:30" SX AP5, Heavy 2, Sniper.

Must be the Stalker Boltgun they mention in the assembly guide. Using that with the poison 2+ ammo sounds interesting.

**Bulldogging**

Did I miss the rules for the xenosword? Forgive me but I didn't see it.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Dammit just when I thought I could escape the lure of DW (or indeed any other armies) before I completed 2000 pts of 30k Word Bearers and my Daemons... those rules man. So cool.

I especially love the Kill Teams.

Must... stay... strong!

**Iuchiban**

More stuff:

Warlord Traits:
1. Warlord reroll to wound and to pen. vs MC, Tanks and superheavies.
2. Roll a D6. That many times Warlor OR his unit may reroll one to Hit, Wound or Pen roll.

4. Warlord has Night Vision. May choose to have Night Fight during the first turn.
5. May change the Mission Tactic one additional time.
6. At the beginning of any turn Warlord may order a bombardment on a enemiy unit at 12" or less. Roll a D6. On a 3+ Target suffers D3 hits, S6, AP4. On a result of 6, D3 hits, S10, AP2.

Xenosword is a power sword. Saved wounds (when using an inv. save) must be rerolled.

Thanks for the reply. I thought I missed when it went on sale or something.

**H.B.M.C.**

So... how 'bout that upgrade sprue hey?

What's on it?

**Iuchiban**

And one more thing:

Watch Captain Artemis (The one in the box)
- 145 points
- Power Sword
- Frag and Krak Granades
- Iron Halo
- Special ammo
- Warlord Trait: May change Mission Tactics one additional time
- Fearless
- FnP 6+
- Hellfire Extremis: Combiweapon. Secondary weapon is: Template, S1, AP2, Assault 1, Poison 2+
- Stasis bomb: Once per game, when attacking in close combat, he may instead make a single stasis bomb attack. If so, roll to hit as normal, but resolve the attack with SD, AP1. If the attack misses, Artemis suffers one SD, AP1 hit instead.

**casvalremdeikun**

Holy crap! Artemis is awesome and has Strength D! And given that he has WS5, he is unlikely to miss. I definitely want to run that guy!
