"If you survive to turn 8 years old on Catachan, then you've become a real man!"
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!
514 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #186, I am 328 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
January 2025 we are expecting Astra Militarum and Aeldari codexes as explained Here, so time to focus on THOSE Datasheets!
Astra Militarum, Catachan Jungle Fighters
10th Edition Index
Catachans! We're glad that they are on our side! These Jungle Fighters are all meant to look like Rambo and Co and come from a Death World (called Catachan) that has a gravity 3 times heavier than Earth's and animals and plants that constantly try to rid the planet of human life.
This has bred a Regiment of renown, like the Cadians known for their stoicism and training, the Catachans are known for their true grit and power.
It is 55pts for 10 men led by a Sergeant or 110pts for a 20 man unit including 2 Sergeants.
A box of 10 costs you $37.
Let's see their stats!
Stats
Movement 6"
Toughness 3
Save 5+ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 1
Ld 7+
OC 2
Weapons
Standard armament is a Lasgun and Close Combat Weapon.
One in ten can have a Vox and cannot take any other weapon.
Two per 10 can have a Flamer instead of a Lasgun.
The Sergeants have Las Pistols and Close Combat Weapons.
Instead of a dozen or so weapons , the Catachans only have the flamers on this datasheet.
Ranged Weapons
Lasgun
24" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 4+, S3, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Rapid Fire 1 (Gains an additional shot when shooting at half range of 12")
Las Pistol
12" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 4+, S3, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Pistol (Can be fired while Engaged in Close Combat)
Famer
12" Range, D6 Shots, Hitting on Auto, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Torrent (Shots Auto hit. Just roll to see how many hits you get.)
Ignores Cover (The target enemy cannot get the Benefit of Cover against this weapons)
Melee Weapons
Close combat weapon
1 Attack, Hitting on 4+. S3, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Abilities
Scouts 6" (At the start of the game, before the first turn, this unit can move 6")
Jungle Fighters
On the turn they charge or are charged this unit gains +1 Strength and +1 Armor Penetration! This is quite significant.
Wargear Abilities
Vox-caster
If this unit uses a Stratagem, roll a dice for a 5+ to refund 1 CP. If an Officer Model is 6" from this unit then it works on a 4+
Thoughts
Well, this unit can have 20 S4 AP-1 attacks that hit on 4+. This is alright.
There will be ways to boost their close combat ability in the form of attached characters and Stratagems.
Either way, watch out for this unit, Flame and charge, they might surprise you!
That makes 24 Astra Militarum Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 26.96% Completed. The total Completed is 17.83% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
