The Fortis Kill Team represents the Deathwatch's embrace of the Primaris warriors, the enhanced generation of Space Marines who have bolstered the Adeptus Astartes in the galaxy's darkest hours. Larger, stronger, and equipped with advanced armaments, these veterans bring fresh strength to the order's ancient mission. Seconded from their Chapters like all who serve the Watch, they are retrained as xenos-hunters and integrated into the order's specialised way of war.
A Fortis Kill Team excels at the flexible engagements the Deathwatch favour. Its warriors can hold a position against overwhelming numbers, advance under withering fire, and adapt their armaments to the enemy before them. Their modern weapons pair naturally with the Deathwatch's specialised munitions, letting a single team engage swarming tyranids, entrenched necrons, or raiding aeldari with equal effectiveness. Steadfast and enduring, the Fortis teams carry the black shield's oath into a new age, proving that the Deathwatch's vigilance never wanes even as the Adeptus Astartes themselves are reforged for the wars to come.
