Codex imperial agents announced for Warhammer 40,000

At least with this codex release any future imperial killteams will have a faction that can be added to quite easily

I thought the same but.. man, just don’t. KT is so much better designed and made. 40K is just a total cluster F usually. They really need to improve so much.

So I need to buy this specific chimera for the heavy bolter? The normal one doesn't come with it. It's just the multilaser or heavy flamer.

My space marine army lost its core, and my Vets lost all their transports

To honor Kill Team Cassius I played a game of Deathwatch Overkill with my son today. 🫡

i like the coteaz model, tbh its exactly what i had expected it to look like based on what i'd read about inquisitors that happen to use power armor. (thinking of sinderman in war of the beast) someone said that the armor looked esotric and old and i agree. i had never seen the old model before today tho, its a cool model too no doubt about that!

Lucky for my finances, nothing here for me.

Most important question, when we will hear something about KT :D?

New coteaz is so bad IMO...

I’m very excited for agents, I have wanted to start DW for a long time and have held off until now. So many hobby opportunities with this codex!

I think the DW will be back with their own codex next edition. GW will concentrate on Primarusing all the main chapters (possibly even GK) this edition and deathwatch will get the same next edition. Doesn’t make sense for DW to have their own codex when the miniatures look so small and out of date, but they do make sense as ally’s until they get updated. Just my opinion.

Great video btw! Why release it as members only? As glandy says news is views

What happened to knightfall! Yes, I’m finally number one!

New boarding actions book will get my money, even though it’s mostly updated arks of omen missions. Im a sucker for boarding actions, so fun

I think the Deathwatch veteran kit is being re-named as a Deathwatch Kill team. As it states in the article: "Deathwatch Kill Teams joining the RETINUE units" and it links to the veterans on the store.

The Death Watch change is basically telling you not buy this book if you want to play Death Watch. This is not your book, you are now just a generic set of Space marines. That is your codex now. There is some slim chance there might be some special rule in play if you do but I doubt it. So you are the same as playing, say salamanders or ultramarines, and you can ally in some Death Watch units exactly the same as every other Imperial army. Why did they do this? They could have just left DW as an index and played with points. Instead they are sacrificing an Army that has had multiple codex's over several editions to just have some extra anaemic padding for their Inquisitor book... I realise that for this edition all most armies are getting is one new character model and that is it, but it is not really fair to say DW don't sell when they still haven't even had a primaris kit. The death watch upgrade sprue is also still the old from ages ago and even has alternative first born chest bits that are worthless these days. At least do a new upgrade sprue at Primaris scale... Artemis is also not a welcome return. He is a slightly bigger first born model that won't fit in the new army. Really he just a relic from the old big inquisitor game that they re-discovered the 40k molds for. All this is just a kick in the teeth and a spit in the face. Then lastly the video announcing this shows off Grey knights more than Death Watch. They also add the special promise that "don't you worry Grey Knight players. We won't near-squat you. We promise to give you a real codex when we can get around to it".

Oh and this is all just coming out a couple of months before Space marine 2 comes out where you will play (probably just for the intro mission) alongside and as Death Watch, with Titus in Death Watch armour. People will think that is cool and want to play it. They go to the GW store for the clerk there to tell them that DW is not an army anymore. Go buy some Space Marines.

I can only see these working as an allied force or a bolt on for a larger force. On their own they will not work against all comers.

I’m really disappointed by the new Coteaz mini. I hope someone like Pete the Wargamer fixes it up.

Of the 3 FOMO boxes, the Hereticus one is the only one I like at all. The Malleus one with its double henchmen seems super fragile and the Xenos one looks very suboptimal unless that Corvus Blackstar gets a big points cut. It feels like they’re clearing out backstock from the warehouse.

I guess it’s a good thing I’ve got extra Reivers, Incursors, & Infiltrators minis on the sprue from when I did up my Phobos kill team. Should let me get at least 5 of them per unit. I’d picked up, but never built the old terminators prior to the launch of 10th to build into my Deathwatch army. I guess I can still use those. I’ll need to get some more intercessors & assault intercessors to bulk up the ones I built & painted for my Intercession kill team so they can be legal squads. In short, it’s not the end of the world, but it’s frustrating.

How do you kill a tank?

Have you seen the guns a Corvus Blackstar can pack?

Given the amazing stuff we’ve just seen from AMG in their Ministravigansa reveals I don’t think you can say that AMG’s current work is significantly better than what GW are doing right now.
