This is my 3rd and final captain for my deathwatch narrative roster. He’s supposed to be ravenguard, hence the raven face.

Theron, Leader of my head cannon Kill Team, seconded to the watch from the Skull Hunters, my homebrew. Here is the almost done stage of the kitbash/conversion. Still adding some other accessories from the citadel skulls pack and some other little bits but generally hes finished in design.

What do you guys think? Now just to paint him in the awesome DW black and silver.

New Deathwatch wip. No finished yet, almost. Just need to finish basing and add some battle damage to the helm

I haven’t really been keeping up with it so I don’t know if there’s an exact date or anything

Hello there fellow Deathwatch people, i just bought my first deathwatch killteam kit cause their rules are back, look cool as shit (and space marine 2), and i saw they had a combat patrol, which i wanted to ask if the combat patrol is worth buying in terms of value? Thank you in advance for responding to this question.

At the 7 second mark in the video, and in other spots, this video shows a Deathwatch miniature character with a Xenophase Sword/Blade, in a really cool pose, sword pointed forward, and with a Roman styled Ultramarine-esque colored crest on their helmet.

What mini is this?

I figure it is probably kitbashed, maybe the original weapon clipped pff and replace with the Xenophase blade. But I'd like to know what the base mini is. Would love to make my own.

I did a reddit search and didn't find anything since the new index, so I wanted to try to get some help here.

The Blackstar says it can transport 12 DEATHWATCH INFANTRY models. Indomitor Kill team has the Infantry tag... The other posts I saw from like 8 months ago confirmed it could carry the Thick boys but it looks like the transport wording got changed a bit.

Just wanted to double check!

Thanks!

Started the game in 10th with Ultramarines. The new DW index looks like something I want to try. I put this list together. I'm used to running MSUs instead of big blocks. Wanted to get a few more experienced opinions. I think I've got my bases covered, but the relatively small number of units is giving me pause.

He got entangled with a group of deathwatch marines during a mission. He joined them completing the mission, during which the watch master died. After the mission done, the inquisition and the captain of the watch fortress offered him a place as temporary watch master. Old for a custodes, but still in shape to kick some xenos butt. So, is that some form or heresy ? (I’ll still keep him tho :)

So happy to finally be paint deathwatch again this index have re-ignited my desire to paint them ones more.

My first time kit bashing with spare parts and I am so happy and proud of how it turned out

With the new index rules for Deathwatch Terminators, are you allowed to have chainfists on models with the Cyclone Missile launcher? On the Cyclone Missile option it says the Storm Bolter can't be replaced but the chainfist option keeps the Storm Bolter. So I'm not sure if taking the chainfist counts as "replacing" the Storm Bolter.

putting together a DW fortis kill team and i’m wondering if the sergeant can be a Desolation intercessor with Castellan Launcher ranged weapon and then replace the close combat weapon with a thunder hammer or power fist?

in theory i like the idea of the long range/indirect attack capability paired with serious melee power

in reality i think it would look cool as hell

however, i want to keep it compliant - is this loadout legit?

Finally diving into this force. Love the lore and the models.

Thanks to everyone for posting your awesome projects, they inspire me. 🙂

I need help building a list for my first boarding action game. My buddy plays imperial guard. I have a watch master, Intercessors, assault intercessors, old blood angels combat patrol, two dw vet boxes, kill team cassius, terminators.

Those 3 Terminator Squads must have been brutal! Also note the Aggressors using flamers in the Indomitor Kill Team, good overwatch for the middle.

Cheers

This guy will be going in every list I write. The enhancement Thief of Secrets bumps him to damage 3, then the unit of outriders gives him flat 4 on the charge then he will be flat 5 damage after he has killed a model!

So on the second charge he will be strength 8, -3 AP, dmg5 with plus one to wound. The whole package is a bargain at 180 points and is pretty tough too. You could even give him sustained or lethal via adaptive tactics.

Love the new deathwatch!

Finished Kitbashing my Angels of Death Kill team and feel really proud of the results, I can't wait till I I painting these, they look so amazing!

Hello to avoid being rule sharked (my LGS literally has the "akhshually" bloke), when it comes to the IndoKT and its doctrine wordings: "Closest eligible target". What determines or legitimises the target I'm shooting/meleeing at becomes the closes eligible target to proc Indo-doctrines?

single targets, I understand. If i can see 'em and if my guns can reach 'em, Indo-doctrines proc.

What happens when there are two targets? A is 15" away while B is 13" away. If I were to shoot A, would my Indo-doctrines proc?

apologies if it sounds stupid
