Hi All,

Here Iuchiban from Warseer.


Sadly Warseer is down so I will use this place to share with you all the info of the new Deathwatch codex.
I already own a copy of the codex (spanish version) as well as the new box "Death Masque" (New Eldrad model is SWEEET)

I am afraid I am at work now so do not have the time to post info right now. Later this afternoon I will be back home and will be ready to answer all your questions.

There is a ton of new stuff in the codex!!!!

Stay tunned!!

I have a few questions!

1. What new weapons are available to the Deathwatch?
2. What type of flyer is the new flyer (Fighter, Attack Flyer, Bomber)?
3. Are there ways to differentiate between units from different Chapters?
4. What sort of stuff is on the Deathwatch Upgrade Sprue? Does it come with Deathwatch pauldrons and left arms?

Tell us all the new weapons/wargear from the Codex.

Please list all the Chapter pads on the sprue.

What Terminator bitz come on the DW sprue?

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Welcome, luchiban.

My only question that hasn't been asked is how do the kill teams listed work? Are they just formations? Thanks!

So going by the codex table of contents image...

Veterans and Terminators seem to be Troops.

Dreadnoughts their Elites.

Vanguard Vets and Bikes, along with transports and the flyer in Fast Attack.

And Land Raiders as their Heavy Support.

It is indeed a small army. With a small selection of units.

Corvus Blackstar their flyer. Allegedly that is its name from someone who translated it. The funny thing is there is a cool fandex on ATT and I submitted a full flying monstrous creature suit based off the Ghostkeel chassis called the Darkstar. Great minds think alike when it comes to naming stuff.

The image at the bottom lists what is in their codex.

I'm well aware of that. The very same image is also in the very first post on the thread. In fact, the worked out forces are based on that image, amusingly enough.

But feel free to correct where there is no need for a correction.

I got that last one covered.
A wood chuck could chuck all the wood if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

A woodchuck could chuck all the wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.*

None, as the filthy wood chucking creature is a heretic. Deploy the Angry Marines.

Hello fellow Warseer refugee, I have some questions all about the new flier.

What are it's weapon options, transport capacity and AVs?

Does it have any special rules on its own, and what does it gain from its formation?

What is it's point cost?

Can anyone who plays Harlequins tell me about how many points that force is, and is it worth doubling up on ?

Soooo... Artemis has little in common with the original mini apart from pose and being a Deathwatch Marine then? Different sword, a combi-weapon not a bolter, relics and adornments different, addition of a cape and backpack bling. Why even call him Artemis?

Hi Iuchiban - Silverstu from Warseer here- quick eldar question- Is Eldrad the same as the old model or are there differences [is he still raising his sword? from the blurry pics he looks like he might be casting instead?]
Cheers in advance

The Harlequins without Eldrad come to 455 points without upgrades. You'll absolutely want upgrades, which will potentially add at least another 100 points or so to that depending on what you take.

As for doubling up, I wouldn't personally, but it really boils down to how you'll want to build your list.

425pt minimum, 455pt with two spare troupers, but you need some necessary options. IMHO it is worth doubling up if you want All Hariles army, as this is basically almost entire Harlequin product line (shame though, that it has Death Jester and not Shadowseer included…)

When you get a chance can you list the death watch relics and
Is the eldrad/harlequin 40k formation listed in the box and what is it, because that formation will radically determine how popular these harlequin minis are going to be.

Ooh! They've come a long way since the Stormraven!

Hey Iuchiban, good to see you again!

When the first leaks for this came out they talked about "insane amounts of customization", can you talk a bit about the Xenos weaponry that the Deathwatch can use? Thanks!

Dat Artmis


Now I really HAVE to get my hands on his Inquisitor version. And maybe this set one day.

Only thing I can say after seeing those pics....

Yes.....yes....YES..........YYYEESSS.....YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Hard to write questions that haven't already been asked.
1. The deathwatch upgrade sprue, is it a lot of bits?
2. is there a breakdown of what codex chapters get what bonuses for DW?
3. Are there other weapons like that sweet Heavy bolter w/flamer?
4. The flyer, what are some of its stats
(BTW thank you for receiving the emperors call and blessing us with information)

Questions:

1. Can we have more information from the formations?

2. Is there a "decurion" style formation, where it makes a full army amount similar to battle companies, war convocation, etc?

3. What kinds of Xenos tech is available?

All praise to Iuchiban.

Because it's the same dude, wearing different bling and carrying another gun?

No MGS. He must be exactly the same in every way to take the storied name of Artemis!

Or, y'know, not.

All of the Marine Strike Forces have been super detachments. Therefore its fairly safe to assume that the Black Spear Strike Force listed in the table of contents is a super detachment. Also note that the Decurion is a detachment, not a formation.

Forgive me, I use the phrase rather interchangeably. I see you understood what I meant, either way. Here's hoping we get more information.

Fluff question: is it written in DW codex that they have access to real Custodian Spears or are they using just inferior copies?

<Artemis rocks up at Deathwatch HQ. A Guard bars his path...>

Guard: "Halt, Brother. I recognise you not."
Artemis: "Seriously, Brother?"
Guard: "Not the foggiest. Not a clue. Not a Mordian sausage."

<Artemis sighs, raises his gun, leans forward and strikes a pose>

Guard: "OH IT'S THE STORIED WATCH CAPTAIN ARTEMIS! Come right on in, I do apologise..."
Artemis: "Thank you."
Guard: "I thought you were taller?"
Artemis: "I get that a lot..."
