Andarius the Red Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I've been going over the rules for HQ options for Death Watch and an unusual bit of information caught my eye. They list the squads they can be attached to but Death Watch kill teams are not amongst them. If I am to understand this read as written then Fortis, Indomitor, and Spectrus Killteams can have no attached characters or HQ?

justicarius6 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 If you look at the rear of each kill team data card there's a section "Attached Units" that tell you what leaders they can have.

The Kill Team squads in question have a section on their data cards under the header "Attached Unit". This will tell you that if a leader could be attached to a particular Index: Space Marines unit it can also be attached to that Kill Team. For example, if a character unit can attach to a Heavy Intercessor unit, it can also attach to an Indomitor Kill Team.

Andarius the Red Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Found them, thank you. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380573-deathwatch-leader-clarifications/#findComment-5991466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
justicarius6 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Am I right in thinking that until there's an errata for the Deathwatch Index that the only leader that Deathwatch Veterans and Proteus kill teams can can have is the Watch Master?

And Captain Artemis, they can also be joined by any character that can join a vanguard veterans squad, but I can't find any of those....

Sloeberjong Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 That's because the Vanguard Veteran Squad doesn't exist anymore with the new codex. So no characters can join those. Formally no character can join them except watch master and captain Artemis. For tourney's I'd ask clarification and with friendly games too. It's too weird to not be able to have a librarian join veterans or something.

Cleon Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I was surprised they didn't treat them as Sternguard for the purpose of leaders, but I guess that got caught in the primaris trap.
