Warhammer 40k - Unit Review Library 122 - Deathwatch, Watch Captain Artemis


Source

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!
433 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #122, 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, Watch Captain Artemis

10th Edition Index

Watch Captain Artemis seems to be the most racist character in Warhammer 40k... which is a massive feat since so many characters in 40k are terribly racist. By this I mean, how the Imperium is really xenophobic and do not tolerate aliens of any shape or form.

Once in a while, Agents of the Imperium might trade with Aeldari, T'au and Votann, sometimes even less savory races... and sometimes the Imperium will find themselves on the same side as aliens, combating Chaos.

Artemis however, is incredibly puritan and would kill an alien rather than have a friend to fight Chaos.

That's a bit... stupid... but he is what he is and what he is, is a warrior born and one with a lot of hate!

Let's check his stats!

Stats

Movement 6"
Toughness 4
Save 3+/4++/6+++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 4
Ld 6+
OC 1

Weapons

Ranged:

Hellfire Extremis

Range 12", D6 Attacks, Auto Hits, S4, Ap -1, 1 Damage each
Torrent (Attacks automatically hit, you just roll for how many attacks you get.)
Ignores Cover (Enemies do not get benefit of cover against attacks from this weapon.)
Devastating Wounds (Critical Wounds, rolling a 6 to Wound, cause Mortal Wounds)
Anti-Infantry 4+ (Causes Critical Wounds against Infantry units on a 4+ and thus triggers Devastating Wounds.)

Melee:

Master-crafted power weapon

6 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S5, Ap -2, 2 Damage each

Abilities

Feel no Pain 6+

Tactical Instinct

While leading a unit, this unit can use a Stratagem even if it has already been used this turn. Also, they can use a Stratagem even if the unit is Battle-shocked! This is amazing because usually battle-shock would prevent units from using Stratagems.

Unstoppable Champion

The first time Artemis dies, you roll a dice, on a 2+, he is set up back on the board as close as possible to where he died on 1 wound and cannot be within engagement range of an enemy unit.

Thoughts

Great damage output, Statagems while Battleshocked is amazing. Getting back up again after dying could be amusing!

I have this guy!

That makes 10 Deathwatch Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 90.90% Completed! Nearly done with them! The total Completed is 12.56% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
