Morning all. Just wondering how common an "ignore overwatch" trait is. The eldar have banshee masks, which they can also put on a Autarch (with a jet bike if you want). The Dark Eldar have one artifact the "Vexator Mask."

Do any of the other armies have that trick?

Harlequin Solitarie? And there is a Harlequin relic that stops enemy firing overwatch as well. iirc.

So this stuff looks like basically exclusive for the Elves. I don't remember whether Nids or Daemons have any tricks that gives the ability of stopping enemy overwatch.

Oh, yes, I think the Ravenguard's warlord trait stops overwatch as well.

Blood angels relic jump pack ignores it.

Genestealer Cult, the Mass Hypnosis psychic power. Not a unit per se but almost every army with Genestealer Cult units will have a psyker capable of casting this.

Raven Guard Warlord trait ignores overwatch.

Craftworlders:
Banshee Mask equipment - Avalaible to Autharcs, Jain Zar and Howling Banshees
An Eye on Distant Events Warlord Traits

Dark Eldar:
Vexator Mask Relic - immunity to overwatch and makes an enemy units within 6" fight last in fight phase.

Harlequins:
The Sliken Knife Stratagem - A silent Shroud units is immune to overwatch for that phase
Starmist Raiment Relic - 3+ invuln vs ranged and immunity to overwatch if the bearer advanced

Space Marines:
Reiver Squad Shock Granades - if they hit they negate overwatch and -1 to hit.
Silent Stalker Warlord Trait - Raven Guard, ignore overwatch for warlord

Blood Angels:
The Angel's Wing Relic - reroll charges and ignore Overwatch

Inquisition:
Terrify psychic power from Telethesia. -1 to hit and no overwatch for the unit targeted.

Adeptus Custodes:
Concussion Granade Stratagem - Allarus shoot their granade launchers, if they hit they negate overwatch and give -1 to hit

Chaos Space Marines:
Warp Talon unit has immunity to overwatch if they arrive via warpflame strike (their deep strike)

Necrons
The Solar Staff Relic - if it hits an anemy infantry, on a 4+ it's blinded: no overwatch and -1 to hit

Genestealers
Mass Hypnosis psionic power: -1 to hit and ignore overwatch from targetet unit.

This should be all.

Some anti overwatch only affects certain enemy units like concussion grenades.

And how many armies can get extra shots or hit on better than 6?

Flamers auto hit and they are the worst. But Tau can hit on 5s, guard?

Most armies can get a re-roll 1s aura.

Also, any units able to keep things in CC, like the wythches "no escape rule"?

IG Scions generate additional shots if they are in a battleforged Scion detachment. I think this is only for hotshots and volleyguns.

I think there is a Slaneesh Daemon fast attack that once charged, opponent cannot fall back. That is quite a scary unit for large shooting blocks like Necron warriors.

It works on all weapons firing at half range.

Covenant of Tzeentch Renegade and Heretics infantry hit on 5+ on overwatch.

But you can probably count on one hand how many people run a Renegade Commander as their warlord to unlock the covenants, let alone use the Tzeentch one.

Mordian Vehicles with the help of a stratagem can hit on a roll of 4, 5 or 6. Afaik Wyches are special snowflakes in that regard and utterly unique.
