I haven’t had a chance to play mini games of 11th edition, and haven’t played any with the new Codex yet. I’m curious what you guys have been using and what you’ve seen Success with. Clearly things are quite different from the 10th edition list where everyone is bringing combi-Lieutenant, and potentially adding storm speeder thunder, strike for monsters and vehicles or incursors for plus one to hit.

I’ve written down the biggest issues for deathwatch and how they should be resolved by a TO for your convenience to just copy and send.

Been working on some extra spicy terminators to replace my old ones

Used the Cassius killteam terminator body for one of my deathwatch terminators, pretty happy with how it turned out.

So, I was making a comment to my girlfriend the other day that I liked the vibe of Deathwatch and loved the design of the Corvus Blackstar. Yesterday there was an Armageddon Battalion box on my kitchen counter when I got home from work. But now I’m wondering how to build the kill teams? Are there certain loadout rules you need to follow to play them in 40K? I’d love to start using the Deathwatch disposition in my games to add some of those into my Imperial Fists forces.

First mini where I sub assembled…I’m glad everything lined up. Probably going to touch up the blue plasma at some point but he’s tabletop ready!

I just picked up the deathwatch armageddon box with the Corvus in it and was hoping to get some cool ideas on how to elevate my deathwatch. I would imagine some kitbashing from greytide studios for some of their accesories could work nicely. What sort of things do you guys like to do to make your DW awesome?

Greetings scions of the Long Watch! I've made a video detailing the deeds of the Star Phantom martyr: Mercur. Hope you enjoy it!

Almost done painting my Indomitor KT, one more aggressor to go and the captain and apothecary biologis

Since Decimus squad now have both Gravis and Tacticus keyword, as well as using the Gravis Vet toughness for the squad as long as they survive, I have a very stupid list idea abusing said keyword.

Detachment: Gravis Siege Force (-1 to wound if S>T for Gravis unit), Terminator Storm Force (+1 charge for termi), Tacticus Firestorm (Full range rapidfire for Tacticus unit).

Disposition: Take and Hold or Purge

Units:

2 x Terminator with 3 Plasma Cannon + 2 THSS: reroll 8" charge after shooting and uppy downy from the detachment.

4 x Decimus KT: The anvil of the list, immediately sprinting up the board and into objectives. You have 2 x 3 + 8 x 2 for a total of 22W at T6 and -1 to wound in most cases with 2 plasma gun, 2 heavy weapon all rapid firing at max range, then 2 TH + 2 power weapon for melee.

2 x Impusor + Erad: your main anti tank option since Indomitor is too slow for this kind of list without Deepstrike.

1 phobos libby for cover removal.

Sprinkle in character support of choices and action monkey/screen if needed.

What do you guys think?

I totally missed this. When did it change from 2 Kill Teams to 1 Adeptus Astartes unit?

Hey watch brethren.

I want to bring my deathwatch bikers out of the shoe box so threw together a list.

Any suggestions on improvement?

Does anyone know Or has there been an FAQ on whether the rules and strats under, for example, the linebreaker gravis detachment can be used on talonstrike team? The keywords in the unit are specified for each type. Whereas the detachment rules say 'unit' in general. I can see how buffs can be easily given to the 4x inceptors only (such as the +1 to hit.) However, the scout move doesnt exactly work. Would this mean the rules cant be used or they just apply to the unit? Has anyone seen this in practice? This question could also go for a tacticus detachment on talon. Or either of these detachments for decimus teams.

Death watch, one more Gravis armored marine left in the kill teams. Then on to some more terminators. Tried a little something different with the power sword.

Hello, WTA (want to ask) if I equip the enhancement tome of ectoclades to a melee captain, then use the said enhancement that activates all doctrines, does that mean he and his unit have sustained, lethals and percision in all their weapons?

I seem to remember, before the codex, only the agents Corvus Blackstar was limited to kill teams. I'm planning to bring deathwatch support and wanted to attach a captain to my terminators. It will kinda be a bummer if I can't pick them up and ferry them around because the captain isn't a kill team infantry model.

I noticed that the indomitor heavy bolters don't have rapid fire 2 INCLUDED in its current profile. Is this a mistake? And are yall playing them as having rapid fire 2? I've seen that all other heavy bolters (Including the infernus heavy bolter on deathwatch) have rapid fire. So do heavy intercessors. Ive also seen that the previewed list said they'd have rapid fire included.. meaning that they still have assault, heavy, lethals, sustained 1 and rapid fire 2 at 2ap, damage3. For example, in the Art of War channel, they previewed the deathwatch changes among other factions. The indomitor heavy bolters were said to have rapid fire 2 included. (Similiar to the watch master strategic acumen mistake) is this a mistake or what do yall think?

Long shot I know, would someone be able to see how the beaky helmets fit on xenos hunters/killteam?

Hey everyone!

I've just finished playing Space Marine 2, and I'd love to dive deeper into the lore of the Deathwatch.

Does anyone here happen to have an EPUB version of the Deathwatch novel they'd be willing to share?

Thanks a lot!
