Coteaz Is Just Such A DULL Model? New Agents Codex Though! │ Warhammer 40k 10th Edition

[@TheSixMachine]

What do you think of this new Codex, and do you like the new Model for Coteaz, or is the old one better?!

I'm not sure how this is going to run as a standalone army. none of the "Agents" kill teams that are known to be in the codex seem viable for carrying the army in any capacity, Transports and light infantry with no Anti-tank is a recipe for disaster. At least based on rumors the primaris kill teams from the Deathwatch won't be included.. Which would leave only the Deathwatch Veterans for carrying and they are not exactly capable of that.. too squishy and not quite a serious enough Anti tank threat unless their thunderhammers get within melee range.. which leaves the Corvus Blackstar doubling as transport for veterans and anti tank but not a serious enough threat to carry anti tank either. Which only leaves Allying in Imperial knights If they are planning to give access to say imperial guard tanks and such to fill the mechanized role then you might as well play an imperial guard army instead, because as an imperial guard army you can still bring along upto 2x10 Deathwatch veterans along with a watch master and artimis to lead the veterans and if they give the blackstar dedicated transport you can fly them in to bulk up your infantry, 10 battle sisters with 2x immolators to transport them, or a huge 10 man brick of grey knight terminator instead of the sisters to deep strike a menace. Why would you need or want to play agents when you can bring 1400 points of Retinue/Requisition units IN ANY imperial army.. Plus you could drop in an imperial knight and just about hit 1900 points or 2000 points.. its ridiculous. im not saying someone should do that but it feels so weird that you could play battlesisters, but then include everything but battle sisters and make a full 2000 point army from outside units. Not to mention potentially killing off deathwatch for this mess is a disaster for deathwatch players that wanted their own codex Also the new model seems easy to kit bash and fix, looks like it should be easy to move the hammer to his right arm so it has a similar pose as the old model, and then with his left hand reaching out like that you could put in a large enough Deamon head that hes just ripped off a Daemon body. Move the Eagle and position it on his back so its like the eagle is leaning forward getting ready to take off with its wings out, and then for the eagle base remove the flight stand you could do what ever you want with it, it could be the corpse of the deamon missing its head, or just leave it the pillar or scrap and have the model follow him around or be more creative with it or heck give the bird an inceptor flight stand really anything.

I prefer Metric Agents to Imperial Agents.

Go, custodies box construction team. Got a love, GW, ability to throw bunch of crap in a box to make you buy it. This is their way of discount in anything that has to do with the death watch that’s filling up their shelves.

[@thunderwarrior2459]

Wow 2k pnts of kill team I’m sooooooo hyped

[@WorldOfWeebcraft]

Old Coteaz is so much better. Why is the eagles wing glued on to a rock lol

[@jeanbon6807]

They better make it stand on Coteaz shoulder

I like how inquisitor models are going to be leaders in there own faction now.

[@MDRLOz]

What I take from it is that Death Watch have had to be sacrificed to pad out this chimeric monstrosity. We will have to wait on the release to see how this thing is going to work fully. However currently it looks to have no real tanks and limited tough/heavy hitting units. Mainly just a mad pile of kill team boxes piled together. If that is the case... The Death Watch died for this? Almost feels like it was made to make other things e.g. Knights have an easier job of subbing in some units for easy objective control. Or Giving the guard terminators...

Coteaz looks like a lieutenant of a unit, not a main character.

[@JennFaeAge]

It's weird. Like, I'm not even going to say I think the new model is amazing, it just...it doesn't bother me? If that makes sense? Maybe I just don't feel all that much of a connection to the original lol

[@TheSixMachine]

I never felt a huge connection to the original, I just can't look at the new one and not see like a toddler in his first big boy pants, it looks like a teletubby to me and I can't unsee it xD

[@JennFaeAge]

@@TheSixMachine Like I said, I'm not saying I like the new model, I just more...shrug? I don't really have an opinion either way I guess lol
