You cannot buy this highly customizable unit from the shelf so getting a picture of a good one was hard! This is an image of a hobbyist's unit on Instagram. They look amazing!

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!
428 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #116, I am 312 reviews behind!

Not picking randomly at the moment, need to finish Imperial Agents and Deathwatch before they change as explained Here

Deathwatch, Fortis Kill Team

10th Edition Index

Deathwatch, Fortis Kill Team

10th Edition Index

A Fortis Killteam is a variable Deathwatch team of Intercessors, Assault Intercessors, Hellblasters and Outriders.

It is one of the unit selections that does not come in a box but you can cobble it together from other units.

You either pay 115pts for a 5 man squad of Intercessors.

Or you pay 230pts for the following options, but you are restricted to a maximum of 10 models:

1x Intercessor (Sergeant)
4-9 Intercessors
0-4 Assault Intercessors
0-4 Intercessors with plasma incinerators(Hellblasters)
0-2 Killteam Outriders

Let's start with their base stats.

Stats

All the Infantry:
Movement 6"
Toughness 4
Save 3+(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 2
Ld 6+
OC 1

Outriders:
Movement 12"
Toughness 5
Save 3+(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 4
Ld 6+
OC 2

Weapons

Options

As is usual with Kill Teams... there are a lot of options. I will try summarize:

One Intercessor can replace his bolt rifle for a Astartes Chainsword or Long Vigil Melee Weapon.
One Intercessor can replace his bolt rifle for a hand flamer, plasma pistol, Astartes Chainsword or Long Vigil Melee Weapon
For every 5 models, a Bolt File can be replaced with a Long Vigil Ranged Weapon
The Hellblasters can replace their bolt pistol with plasma pistols.

Ranged:

Bolt Pistol

Range 12", 1 Attack, Hitting on 3+, S4, Ap 0, 1 Damage each
Pistol (Can be fired while in engagement range of enemy units as long as you shoot that unit.)

Heavy Bolt Pistol

Pistol (Can be fired while in engagement range of enemy units as long as you shoot that unit.)

Plasma Pistol – Overcharged firing option

Range 12", 1 Attack, Hitting on 3+, S8, Ap -3, 2 Damage each
Pistol (Can be fired while in engagement range of enemy units as long as you shoot that unit.)
Hazardous (After using this weapon, roll a dice, on a 1 that model takes 3 Mortal Wounds.)

Hand Flamer

Range 12", D6 Attacks, Hits Automatically, S3, Ap 0, 1 Damage each
Pistol (Can be fired while in engagement range of enemy units as long as you shoot that unit.)
Torrent (Roll a D6 for number shot, these automatically wound)
Ignores cover (The target never gets benefit of cover.)

Bolt Rifle

Range 24", 2 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S4, Ap 1, 1 Damage each
Assault (Unit can Advance and shoot this weapon)
Heavy (When this unit remains stationary, add +1 to Hit rolls)

Long Vigil Ranged Weapon

Range 24", 1 Attack, Hitting on 3+, S4, Ap 0, 1 Damage each
Rapid Fire 1 (Get 1 Additional attack at half range of 12")
Devastating Wounds (Critical Wounds, rolling a 6 to Wound, cause Mortal Wounds)
Anti-Infantry 4+ (Causes Critical Wounds against Infantry on a 4+ and thus triggers Devastating Wounds.)

Plasma Incinerator – Standard Firing option

Range 24", 2 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S7, Ap -2, 1 Damage each
Assault (Unit can Advance and shoot this weapon)
Heavy (When this unit remains stationary, add +1 to Hit rolls)

Plasma Incinerator – Overcharged Firing option

Range 24", 2 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S8, Ap -3, 2 Damage each
Assault (Unit can Advance and shoot this weapon)
Heavy (When this unit remains stationary, add +1 to Hit rolls)
Hazardous (After using this weapon, roll a dice, on a 1 that model takes 3 Mortal Wounds.)

Twin Bolt Rifle

Range 24", 2 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S4, Ap 1, 1 Damage each
Twin-linked (Re-roll Wound rolls)

Melee:

Close Combat Weapon

3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S4, Ap 0, 1 Damage each

Astarted Chainsword

4 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S4, Ap -1, 1 Damage each

Long Vigil Melee Weapon

3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S5, Ap -2, 1 Damage each

Abilities

Fortis Doctrines

When their target is below-Half strength, they add 1 to the to Hit rolls.

Thoughts

This Team is a bit strange. I don't think I would ever play the 5 man team. Its too expensive and getting a +1 to Hit on a half dead infantry unit is... terrible.

Mixed squad I would go 2 bikes, Sergeant with Long Vigil Melee Weapon, 4 Hellblasters, 2 guys with Long Vigil Ranged Weapons and one guy with a Hand Flamer.

Gives you a decent bit of light and heavy infantry and you can certain!

That makes 7 Deathwatch Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 63.63% Completed! The total Completed is 11.94% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
