Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
425 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #114, I am 311 reviews behind!
Not picking randomly at the moment, need to finish Imperial Agents and Deathwatch before they change as explained Here
Deathwatch, Deathwatch Veterans
10th Edition Index
Of all the units that are probably dissapearing with the Deathwatch Codex being swallowed into the Imperial Agents book, the Deathwatch Veterans are probably the most safe.
They are an iconic squad with a lot of options. Space Marines drawn from many Chapters across the galaxy and armed with both the weapons and the knowledge to kill the alien menaces that plague the galaxy.
Whether it is the Hive broods of the Tyranids, the brutish hordes of the Orks or the highly advanced Aeldari, the Deathwatch study them all and seek weaknesses.
They cost 100pts for 5, 200pts for 10 and have mostly a double-up system for special weapons.
A box of 5 of them costs you $45 and will then come with a lot of extra bits!
Let's start with their base stats.

Thoughts
2x Infernus Heavy Bolters/2x Frag Cannons, 2x Thunder Hammers and a Sergeant with a Xenophase Blade and a Long Vigil Ranged Weapon... enough said.
As they are now, they are Battleline and have 2OC each and they are super versatile!
That makes 6 Deathwatch Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 54.54% Completed! The total Completed is 11.74% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!

Man, I love the Deathwatch aesthetic and fluff. I should paint my guys eventually.
They are amazing!
Have you got Deathwatch?
On sprues and unpainted, yes.
Hehe. Well then... you should get them built up!
Unfortunately, there is too much chaos and too little workspace in my life at the moment. Dabbling in Magic decks is less messy than glue and paint.
Did somebody say CHAOS?!
More Tzeentch, less Slaanesh.

@mirroredspork just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @zakludick.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/1 possible people today.
Read about some PIMP Shit or Look for the PIMP District
Indeed! So in the new Imperial Agents Codex it seems that we will be getting the ability to put this squad into any Imperial Army.
I have used them. I have 2x5 man squads, a Watchmaster and Captain Artemis and a Corvus Blackstar. Used them in a large-scale battle!
@zakludick! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @ mirroredspork. (4/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want, plus you can win Hive Power (2x 50 HP) and Alive Power (2x 500 AP) delegations (4 weeks), and Ecency Points (4x 50 EP), in our chat every day.
Nice
I need to review them all! Inquisitor next form Imperial Agents! I have a few of those!
Oh nice, I recently reinstalled the games I have. Planning on playing through them all from w40k dawn of war to the latest I own. Just wish they had a fps one where you play as a nid or necron
Hahaha, that would be cool!
Like AVP!
Yeah lol, just go on a rampage as a nid hyrophant 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sounds like my kind of game
