I'm quite excited to have so many more character options in our two strongest teams. The apothecary I built at the end of 9th can no longer serve with the indomitor, but they got a shiny new option and and now he can hang out with a proteus squad.

Same here, this is a great update for the Deathwatch!

As a new player, you've helped me so much; this is THE place to be for Deathwatch info.

Thank you, that's great to hear!

Great video update on the faction! Excited to see what we get for our codex later in 2024.

Unless some magic happens in the January BDS, that's pretty much it for at least the first half of 2024

I'm looking forward to playing with Proteus killteams and the new leader options. I'm glad that we haven't been forgotten

Pretty much what the Proteus Kill Team needed at this point to make the price tag worth it once more!

I think the model tax with the Proteus KT (as you covered very well previously), is still a little prohibitive...but having DWVets is practically auto include now

Would love to see KT prices in general getting addressed in the next MFM. While the Proteus KT is still unreasonably expensive for the time being, the new leader options kind of subsidize it, if you want to think of it that way. Like, an Apothecary bringing Terminators back is exceptionally good value that you would not get elsewhere.

My first born Apothecary will look just fine with my Vets/PKT.

An increase to his base, and he'll be like new!

Yo! I beat the best Aeldari player from Cali cup this past Thursday! You know the Cali cup where all the best players from the world came put on by a top team! And in two turns! 😮I think I figured something out!

@@SwissHammer Haha, no, no drinking or anything but sober minds involved. It was at our LGS where our teammates practice for events against each other so we take it fairly seriously. I ran Blackspear and made the list off the cuff at stoplights on the way over once I found out who I was playing against. Had zero time to overthink or really strategize, just put in the essentials I am comfortable with. Priority targets, chilling rain, Crucible of battle, terrain set 3 I took tactical and him behind enemy lines and engage. I got T1, played cagey and used whirlie to Oath kill a Dcannon. Drew cleanse and investigate so baited out combi Lt on center obj. His T1 he yeeted two units of warp spiders in to try and kill half of one of my vets squads and the combi Lt. Got 5 or 6 so I pulled all but my frag cannons and teleported them out. Then my turn 2 dropped the thunder and popped Malleus. Drew no pris and engage. 2 units of inceptors near/on his home. 2 cyclone Termies on obj’s triple charged his Autarch and rolled boxcars on his Autarch on an obj, killed it and he failed phoenix gem so that hampered his CP gen. Killed like 4 or 5 units including his other Dcannon I oathed. He only had one unit of spiders left and I had him pretty well shut out of primary and secondaries. Denied his home obj tying it OC wise, etc. And I still had Tome in my pocket. After my turn another teammate (who’s a best in faction ace) walked up and says, “Can you even come back from this?” And he said, “I think that’s game.” I was like I don’t see it, let’s play out your turn at least and talk through the rest. He killed my redemptor, whirlie, the squad of vets and stole my home w a couple remaining warp spiders and dropped some Spectres in my back line. But in the end, he was not going to be able to score primary or effectively get anymore secondaries after I killed the spectres. So we talked it thru, saw what I would draw/score and rolled a couple key fights to be sure and he conceded. I honestly was sure I’d lose and just wanted to give him a spicy game. I didn’t have time to get in my head and I just played fundamentals, tried to zone him out and deny his scoring. Played cagey then super pounced. I’ll comment the list and what I’m for sure changing about it and considering.

Can finally run a full Shooting Veterans team without having to worry about running shields with them now that a Librarian can attach to them and similar with the Proteus Killteam. Might need to pick up a librarian first though.
