ServoBadger Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I'm considering adding a squad of (ruinously expensive) Heavy Intercessors to hang out with my Aggressors, but I'm less sure about the new Gravis Captain. I mean, I can't even give him a Deathwatch shoulder pad. Does he have much utility for Deathwatch?

techsoldaten Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 You mean this guy? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/574983077422158512/ Properly converted, he looks nice. I think he's a little expensive compared to other options, but would consider him for a list.

No, sorry, the new guy with the Heavy Bolt Rifle from the Pariah Nexus box. techsoldaten 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370410-hbr-gravis-captain-any-good-for-deathwatch/#findComment-5703431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
techsoldaten Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I see... Personally, I would pass. Not sure Primaris Captains, in general, offer as much to DW as firstborn. You want a Captain at the front fighting and buffing troops. Dominus Aegis is perfect for him, but it requires a Storm Shield. He'd also do better with a bike, no point wasting a turn getting to an objective. So the real answer probably depends on what else you are taking in your list. Not sure a Captain is as effective in anything but a frontline role, but there's probably an argument to be made for another. Your Heavy Intercessors, on the other hand... perfect with Aggressors in an Indomitor KT.

I was really bummed out to see the way the cape messes with the DW shoulder pad swap. I'm one of those guys who will buy a model that feels fluffy even if it isn't super meta, super efficient. I had contemplated running one of each Kill Team, and supporting each team with an HQ. I guess GW don't want DW players to buy Gravis captains. If they did, they would have told the sculptor we need access to the left shoulder pad. Their loss; more money to spend on Sisters.
