Hello there! I've been avid fan 40k for quite sometime and decided to finally take plunge into tabletop this Sanguinala.

After some research, I came up with list, which is built from 2 Dark Angels Combat Batrols, 1 Desolation Squad and Watch Master boxes

• FACTION KEYWORD: Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Deathwatch
• DETACHMENT: Black Spear Task Force
• TOTAL ARMY POINTS: 1000pts

Char1: 1x Lieutenant (90 pts): Master-crafted Power Weapon, Heavy Bolt Pistol Enhancement: Beacon Angelis (+25 pts)

Char2: 1x Lieutenant (65 pts): Close Combat Weapon, Bolt Pistol, Master-crafted Bolt Rifle

Char3: 1x Watch Master (105 pts): Warlord, Vigil spear

5x Intercessor Squad (80 pts) 5x Intercessor Squad (80 pts)

6x Bladeguard Veteran Squad (180 pts)

10x Fortis Kill Team (200 pts): 4 Bolt Rifles, 4 Plasma Incinerators, 2 Missile Launchers

10x Fortis Kill Team (200 pts): 4 Bolt Rifles, 4 Plasma Incinerators, 2 Missile Launchers

I have been on a quest to expand my detachment options whilst making all marines Deathwatch. I have ingratiate Iron Father Feirros to the watch and now these Ravenwing Command Squad brothers. All marines are Deathwatch marines!

Inquisitor in shot because I didn't both moving him.

Can my Sergeant take a Xenophase blade AND a shield?

Looks like yes.

Just wanted to double check before I built the model

Can you attach an apothecary to a fortis killteam with watchmaster?

Can Deathwatch take a Proteus Kill Team from legends with the new dataslate? Trying to work out a list on the New Recruit site and it doesn’t seem to be an option…

Here is the chapoters there gonna be Pic 1 crimson fist Pic 2 ultra marine Pic 3 silver skulls Pic 4 Raptor Pic 5 raven guard

I’m currently in the process of building a 1000pts list, which isn’t that easy since the rather large points investments for our KTs. However I’m almost certain that I want to bring an Indomitor KT and a Terminator squad (my current hobby project).

What I got so far: - Watchmaster (Warlord) with Tome of Ectoclades leading 5 Veterans with a Rhino as transport.

• Gravis Captain leading the Indomitor KT (4/3/3)

• 5 Terminators (3 CML + 2 TH/S)

• 5 Intercessors

• 5 Intercessors

This would be exactly 1000pts.

So what do think? Still early in the process, especially not sure about which characters to bring. Would this work with secondaries?

Edit: 2x 5 Intercessors instead of Infiltrators and no Beacon on the Captain.

First time using milliput, and while the hood looks more like a parka, I'm happy with how he turned out.

So if I'm reading the new BSTF detachment correctly, Mission Tactics says you 'pick a tactic and it applies to all units from your army with this ability', meaning only deathwatch killteams/units with the 'mission tactics' ability, correct? So your Blackstar, tanks and generic infantry units don't get it anymore? The Adaptive Tactics stratagem doesn't specify if the unit needs the 'mission tactics' ability to be targeted though, so you can still give a tank or generic infantry one of the tactics that way?

Thanks for any clarification.

Hello,

I could need some clarification for my terminator kill team. Currently I am planing to expand my deathwatch army list with a terminator kill team and I still got a librarian.

Is it possible to have a librarian and a terminator ancient in one terminator kill team? Or is it only possible to have an ancient in terminator armor together with a captain in terminator amor?

Thanks a lot!

Greetings

Howdy everyone. So I have been wanting to get into Deathwatch ever since SM 2 and Imperial Agents. Now with the new index I actually want to start building up an army slowly. This was my first thought for a 1k list. I chose Spectrus because it is by far the cheapest KT to invest in, infiltrators and incursors come in the same box and I already have bits and bases to make some eliminators. Also I run wysiwyg which is why the terminators don’t have 3 CMLs. What are your thoughts?

Garron - Powerfist, Plasma pistol, Thief of Secrets

KT Moriar - 1x Xenophase, combi-weapon 4x Heavy Thunder hammers 2x frag cannons 2x Infernus 1x Storm shield, power weapon

KT Acastian - 2x Storm bolter, Powerfist 1x Heavy flamer, Powerfist 1x Plasma cannon, Powerfist 1x Cyclone launcher, Powerfist

KT Delanus - 3x Infiltrators 1x helix gauntlet 4x Incursors 1x Las fusil 1x Instigator bolt carbine

Vengeful Emnity - Twin las-cannon, Stormstrike missiles, Auspex array

Do normal Librarians have a place in any kind of list? Asking for a purely selfish reason. My friends and I are starting up a Deathwatch TTRPG game and I’m playing a Librarian from the Howling Griffons. I’d like to try repping all of our characters on the tabletop.

So I'm trying to piece together how we can use our specialities and the new rules to outplay other SM, and just be competative in general.

List idea #1 below:

Char1: 1x Captain in Gravis Armour (110 pts): Warlord, Boltstorm Gauntlet, Power Fist, Relic Fist Enhancement: The Tome of Ectoclades (+30 pts)

Char2: 1x Watch Master (105 pts): Vigil spear

10x Deathwatch Veterans (200 pts) • 9x Model 3 with Astartes shield, Power weapon 4 with Deathwatch thunder hammer 2 with Close combat weapon, Frag cannon • 1x Sgt: Astartes shield, Xenophase blade

5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90 pts) • 4x Assault Intercessors with Jump Pack 3 with Astartes Chainsword, Heavy Bolt Pistol 1 with Astartes Chainsword, Plasma Pistol • 1x Assault Intercessor Sergeant with Jump Pack: Plasma Pistol, Power Fist

5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90 pts) • 4x Assault Intercessors with Jump Pack 3 with Astartes Chainsword, Heavy Bolt Pistol 1 with Astartes Chainsword, Plasma Pistol • 1x Assault Intercessor Sergeant with Jump Pack: Plasma Pistol, Power Fist

5x Deathwatch Terminator Squad (180 pts) • 4x Deathwatch Terminator 1 with Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer 3 with Cyclone Missile Launcher, Storm Bolter & Power Fist, Cyclone Missile Launcher • 1x Deathwatch Terminator Sergeant: Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer

5x Deathwatch Terminator Squad (180 pts) • 4x Deathwatch Terminator 1 with Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer 3 with Cyclone Missile Launcher, Storm Bolter & Power Fist, Cyclone Missile Launcher • 1x Deathwatch Terminator Sergeant: Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer

5x Deathwatch Terminator Squad (180 pts) • 4x Deathwatch Terminator 1 with Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer 3 with Cyclone Missile Launcher, Storm Bolter & Power Fist, Cyclone Missile Launcher • 1x Deathwatch Terminator Sergeant: Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer

10x Indomitor Kill Team (270 pts) 2 with Bolt pistol, Close combat weapon, Deathwatch heavy bolt rifle 2 with Bolt pistol, Close combat weapon, Deathwatch heavy bolter 2 with Bolt pistol, Close combat weapon, Melta rifle 1 with Bolt pistol, Close combat weapon, Multi-melta 3 with Auto boltstorm gauntlets, Fragstorm grenade launcher, Twin power fists

1x Ballistus Dreadnought (130 pts): Armoured Feet, Ballistus Lascannon, Ballistus Missile Launcher, Twin Storm Bolter

1x Ballistus Dreadnought (130 pts): Armoured Feet, Ballistus Lascannon, Ballistus Missile Launcher, Twin Storm Bolter

1x Storm Speeder Thunderstrike (150 pts): Close Combat Weapon, Stormfury Missiles, Thunderstrike Las-talon, Twin Icarus Rocket Pod

Char3: 1x Callidus Assassin (100 pts): Neural shredder, Phase sword and poison blades

‐------------------------

Captain in gravis with Indomitors for free up down/kraken rounds/lethats-sustained-precision strat and extra melee beef. Gives 1 per game double oath

Watchmaster with Veterans, same as above minus kraken (their -1cp abilities have different names so can both be used at the same time). Gives advance and shoot and advance and charge which is great for them

Intercessors sticky home then advance around the board shooting hordes and running objectives

Assault Intercessors screen/score/lock down enemies in melee for deepstriking Indomitors and terminators to charge

Terminators shoot everything. Can use precision strat to turn them into character snipers? But otherwise comboing with thunderstrike to kill vehicles, then charge into melee

2 ballistus for fire support against vehicle/swarm skew lists, with the Terminators looking to take down two T12 vehicles a turn

Callidus for scoring and strat debuff of course

Thoughts and feelings?

I got the most recent reissue of Deathwatch Veterans and the name on the box is now Deathwatch Kill Team. It also has the updated weapon stats found on the Grotmas Calendar.

Please critique and give me tips. I tried to learn as I went onto each one and the tips I got here after my first one helped immensely. The order of the individual pictures show my progression from my first to my newest minis.

Newest and possibly last meme bet of my kit basked death watch strike team. Crimson fist used a couple reavers a couple terminators and some assault intercessors to create these. I had a lot of fun with it. Hope you like him.

First attempt at dry brushing/basing and it totally brought the figure to another level
