Deathwatch - Troops

This is where this army changes and breaks the mould from the normal space marine armies, instead of being made from just a single chapter, they call brothers from every chapter to form the squads known as 'kill teams'
These bespoke teams are aimed at only one thing and that is killing the alien.
For mine I have had to change the kit that GW produced because of the slight oversight in what is such a beautiful kit. In the kit it comes with swords looking for like power swords than the close combat weapons it says they have in the rules. Some people may confuse these two and think they whole squads have power weapons when they don't. so a lot of chopping later and a few assault squads that are now running more flamers than before and I have managed to get

The sprues you get so much in terms of weapons. But I love the two most valuable choices, the dreaded deathwatch frag cannon (sorry Blood Angels ours is better) and the super combo of heavy flamer and heavy assault bolter - the Infernus heavy bolter. But its not heavy but an assault weapon.
Then one of the crazy things about the veteran squads is, you can take 4 of heavy weapons in one squad. Not just these but a lot of the others that are available to normal marine armies, such as:

1. Heavy Bolter
2. Heavy Flamer
3. Missile launcher - can be upgraded again to take flakk missiles
4. Infernus heavy bolter
5. Frag cannon


So here are some of my squads I have worked on, enjoy
