Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Deathwatch (section)

====Special Characters====

*'''Watch Captain Artemis:''' A throwback from the days of Inquisitor. Regular Watch Captain in terms of stats and rules, but also has Unstoppable Champion (ignores lost wounds on a 6). He's armed with the Hellfire Extremis (a Deathwatch combi-flamer whose flamer wounds non-Vehicle/Titanic targets on a 2+), a master-crafted power sword, and a stasis bomb (one-use grenade 1 weapon that inflicts d6 mortal wounds if it hit the target). An interesting alternative to a standard Captain at 110pts, so make his stasis bomb count.
** In terms of cost, a Captain with Power Sword and Combi-flamer is 95pts to Artemis's 110. You're paying 15pts for his FNP, a boosted Deathwatch combi-flamer, a master-crafted power sword (saving you a relic slot), and a fuck-you grenade. I'd say it's worth it, but only if you want that kind of kit - Artemis is good for killing infantry and exactly one tough thing up close, and he doesn't have a jump pack to get him in range with his more effective weapons. He's only useful if you can get him up the table. Put him in a Corvus Blackstar with a squad of Veterans outfitted with close-range weapons and he'll pay for himself quickly by one-shotting an enemy HQ. Save a command reroll if you really want to screw somethings day!

*'''Chaplain Cassius:''' Took a time machine and now back in Deathwatch, with his datasheet even suggesting that you don't use Primaris units in your army for a thematic fit. Compared to a normie Chaplain, he gains +1A, +1Ld, SIA on his bolt pistol, +1AP on his crozius, and yells his litany on a 2+ instead of 3+. Well worth the +20pts. 

*'''Codicier Natorian:''' New to 9th edition, he's a named Librarian from the Blood Ravens from the Kill Team Cassius box. WS2+, +1 to casting smite or witchfire, SIA on his bolt pistol, and +1AP on his force sword. Bargain for an extra 10pts. 
**Unfortunately locked to the Deathwatch psychic powers, which makes his +1 witchfire spells pretty meh. Still good for smiting, but is tooled for close combat with no speed to get there and only just better than Librarian stats. Give him a transport, or go with a regular jump-pack, primaris or terminator librarian instead. Like Cassius, very useful for smaller games where he can footslog his way around.
