Deathwatch support: two terminators or 1 terminator/1 Indomitor?

Looking to bring some Deathwatch into my Terminator heavy DA list. Is Indomitor worth the points over the second DW terminator?

Is there some other DW unit I should be considering?

Deathwatch brothers, This Dark Angels player needs some advice

I have been looking at DW for a while, and even have a few units painted up from my spare kits and parts. With the new Deathwatch Support Detachment, I can bring in some DW and start my journey into DW!

I am planning a terminator heavy Dark Angels list. I can bring in 500 points of Deathwatch allies.

If you could bring in 500 points of Deathwatch, what would you bring?

I am thinking:
2 x 5model Deathwatch Terminators with 3x plasma.
That leaves me 120 points.
Decimus? DW Veterans? Watch Master or Artiemis?

Give me your thoughts!

After seeing 3 Champs posted today I decided to jump in with the one I just finished! He isn’t winning any painting competitions but he will look great at on the tabletop.

Let’s see more EChamps!

2nd Virgin Cruise, are there any advantages to using a First Mate? Last time we booked two years ago there was Sailor Loot and Bar Tab, but what does that look like in 2026?

When we booked in 2023 for a 2024 sailing the deals were insane as the industry exited Covid and Virgin tried to get their feet. It looks like the landscape has changed... so wondering what the advantages of using a First Mate are these days?

I see that tips are "no longer included", and that we now have to choose an experience level... I hope the rest of the cruise isn't turning into a nickels and dimes!

We are considering a 2027 repositioning cruise from Barcelona to Miami or PR.

The Stormspeeder Vengeance! LSV Proxy.

I posted this WIP last month, but with the 11E info out there is a huge amount of interest. The proxy bits fit on the Storm Speeder kit (or on the resin 1:1 proxy). The dimensions fit the LSV bounding box.

You can find a link to the STLs in my bio... No charge, giving back to my brothers in arms.

I think the Defender might secretly be good in 11E, but I don't know which weapon loadout is going to be best... so magnets for the win!

Hey guys, can I use this as and Operation Token for Disruption primary missions?

Making sure this will work.

40k 10th Edition Meta Review - Warhammer 40k Tournament Stats

10th edition review. Rough couple of years for the 1st Chapter. Here is hoping 11th is better for us.

What are your thoughts on Wrath in 11th?

Wrath is back but is our only 3pt Detachment.

  • Has none of the new Non-Character style Enhancements/Upgrades.
  • Locks those lists into one force disposition, rumored to be Priority Assets
  • No real update to Leonine Aggression.

At 2 points I think this was fine, but 3 feels expensive.

11E is bringing in the age of Speeders and Plasma, what is scarier than a Dark Angels Speeder with Plasma! (Landspeeder Vengeance Proxy)

Fits the footprint of the LSV, and will look great with the new Speeders.

My Storm Speeder -> Land Speeder conversion is complete! Fits the rough footprint of the original LSV.

Just in time 11E. The age of Speeders and Plasma are on us. What is scarier than a Speeder with Plasma!

Storm (Land) Speeder Vengeance? Creating a mashup to get ready for 11th’s speeder focus, especially after today’s speeder drop.

I am not the first person to do this conversion, but I wanted to make this fit the same hitbox as the current LSV.

Tower shooting is getting hit with the new rules, but fast mobile shooting to run up the flanks as our melee core pushes forward will become important in 11th I think.

u/kcdale99 — 5 months ago

The Q&A for 11th stated that some wargear costs are returning in 11th. So what costs do you think will come back? Plasma weapons costing more? Powerfists and chainswords?

I was new at the end of 9th so I don’t remember everything that used to cost extra.

The proof that Wrath is dead. GW plays Ravenwing!

This is a joke, don’t take it too seriously and have fun with it. We have no idea what happens to our beloved Wrath.

Yesterday, GW mentioned that Codex detachments will be playable, but the expansion/addon detachments except for recent ones in Eye of Terror and Lair of the Tyrant likely won't be. For Dark Angels this means that Unforgiven Task Force, Inner Circle Task Force, and Company of Hunters will be playable for sure.

Wrath of the Rock was released almost a year ago and has not been mentioned as being available in 11th. Today's Faction Focus has shown our 3 new detachments with no mention of Wrath of the Rock, nor do any of the new detachments have similar functionality as WotR.

Wrath of the Rock has been our most played detachment since its release, so I think it's worth discussion now. If we lose WotR what is your plan? Leaning into the new Plasma Detachment? Going Ravenwing with bikes and speeders? Moving to Space Wolves which appears to be the new durable melee army?
