Kill Team Cassius
And here is the completed Kill Team! I’m still very happy with how the whole team turned out, and despite the unique flavour each member has, they really come together as a coherent and cohesive squad. They boast a number of melee and ranged focused members, and it was quite a surprise at the time…
Read MoreDeathwatch Overkill Objectives
The last addition to the Deathwatch Overkill set are two Objective Markers, used during various missions in the game, but also acceptable for use in general 40k games, or as fun narrative bits to have around the army. The first one, below, is a Teleport Homer. These are generally used to help improve the accuracy…
Read MoreWhite Scars Biker Sergeant, Jetek Suberei
The final member of the Deathwatch portion of the Overkill set is one of the teams most unique members, Jetek Suberei. Hailing from the White Scars Chapter, they are armed with a Power Sword, accompanied by a faithful hawk companion, and riding a robust and massive Bike, they are the very image of a son…
Read MoreUltramarines Sternguard Veteran, Vael Donatus
The Deathwatch team has two sons of Guilliman in its ranks, Vael Donatus and Chaplain Cassius, both being fantastic models and my favourite Marines in the set. I like the simple loadout Vael has, armed with the classic Bolter, and I also enjoy all of his extra details. The icon on his backpack, the roman…
Read MoreUltramarines Chaplain, Ortan Cassius
Leading the Deathwatch kill team of the Overkill set is Chaplain Cassius of the Ultramarines, an iconic figure among an already iconic Chapter. This model represents a younger version of him, serving in the Deathwatch before returning to his Chapter and fighting in the Tyrannic wars Cassius is armed with the traditional weapons of his…
Read MoreSpace Wolves Blood Claw, Drenn Redblade
A young and boastful Blood Claw, Drenn is nonetheless a ferocious close combat fighter, armed two melee weapons: his knife “Fang” and Chainsword “Graam”. While he is armed with a Bolter at his hip, it’s clear he much prefers to be up close and personal with his enemies, which fits in quite well with the…
Read MoreSalamander Terminator, Garran Branatar
One of the most unique models of the Deatwatch is a Marine clad in Terminator armour, hailing from the Salamanders. While mostly portrayed wearing Power Armour, it’s nice to see variety in what a member of the Deathwatch can bring to the battlefield, and speaks to Garrans experience that he is allowed to wear such…
Read MoreRaven Guard Vanguard Veteran, Edryc Setorax
The second of the two Jump Pack equipped Assault Marines is of the Raven Guard Chapter, Edryc Setorax. Just like Antor, his posing is fantastic, with a great sense of movement and momentum behind the model. He has a fair amount of details, such as the sculpted icons on his legs and backpack, as well…
Read MoreIron Hands Sternguard Veteran, Ennox Sorrlock
Besides the Ultramarines of Kill Team Cassius, Ennox Sorrlock of the Iron Hands is my favourite member. The Iron Hands are an unforgiving and brutal Chapter with a grim reputation, and one I grew to love as Forge World expanded on their lore and place within the Heresy. I love the inclusion of the Mark…
Read MoreImperial Fists Devastator, Rodricus Grytt
Representing the Sons of Dorn within Kill Team Cassius is Rodricus Grytt, an Imperial Fist sporting the heavy weapon of the team. Rivalling Garran Branatar for fire support, Rodricus is armed with a deadly Frag Cannon, uniquely available to the Deathwatch in this hand-held version. I quite like his pose, which I find very fitting…
