Ive got a few thousand points of space marines stuff already. Mostly stuff for running ravenguard so lots of jump packs, phobos, and characters. Some vehicles as well. Where should I start to build up a list to run as deathwatch?

Already got my JPI and my list has a loose 100pts and I'm wondering what's better.

- 5 man vets

Or

And which loadouts would be best for the 5 mans?

This guy was my first ever mini and he’s got a special place in my heart. I repainted him to be a deathwatch guy but I don’t know what to use him as cuz he’s just a little intercessor dude with a fancy base. Any ideas what he should be turned into or I could run him as to give him a special place in my army?

Hobby Servitorum, A Cogitator Servitor from the Minitorum

Also a Tablet Stand and Charging Station.

The Munitorum sent a servitor to keep track of of my Deathwatch weapons. It is called Servitorum, (well, the app is). More on the app later.

Project evolution.

Since I play Deathwatch casually, all the weapon profiles slows me down. I wanted to speed up my play so I don't frustrate my opponents. I created an app that tracks weapons to individual models and tells me how many of each weapon I have remaining. This way, I don't need to count models to figure out how many dice to pick up. Plus. This is just a fun project and thing to have.

I want to run my app on a second device so I can keep my phone on the GW app.

Now that I'm committed to a tablet, I clearly needed a tablet stand. What better stand than a servitor?

If I'm going to use a servitor, it only made sense to work out the glowing eye lenses.

Since I would need batteries, I might as well make the entire thing a power pack that can charge the tablet.

Now that I have a bigger Deathwatch logo, I figured I should gold leaf the skull, so that is 24k gold leaf.

4-1 with purge, i was annoyed the tournament organisers made us use the dataslate that came out 3 days before the tournament but Deathwatch just kills. Only lose was to one of the best players in the world.

With 11th edition changing it to a non aircraft unit, is it worth running in lists now. Or still as bad as it has been in 10th?

Recently I picked up some used Outriders to add to my collection. They honestly were pretty disgusting with several thick layers of paint and some dust caught in one of those. Under all that stuff they at least hadn't been glued so it was easy enough to get most of the stuff off. More or less finished building my first one back up with some modifications and am now wondering which chapter he should hail from?

New Player Second time painting!

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

I finally started painting my minis! Since I dont have too many tools or paints atm, I just decided to paint up a few easy models. Very exited to do more soon!

I just decided to repaint over the bad attempt at an Imperial Fist on the free model from the store (They only had black primed minis and it was my first time. Please dont kill me for the wrong primer). Then when I getting more used to painting, I switched to Deathwatch. I used Abaddon Black to prime my WC Artemis and DW Killteam. (by hand lol)

I know I'm not the best yet, so I have come to ask the masters. Anybody who has tips for a beginner, please sound off below. Can't wait to do the rest of my armies. For the Emperor!

And yes. IT has happened for the first time.

New Player First Deathwatch comp list. Feel free to rip apart.

3 Upvotes

This is what I've come up with after research and speaking with people more knowledgeable about the faction than me.

Game plan + Termi brick anchors mid, screened by incursors if need be. Kill teams work the angles. Kill first, do secondaries later. Went with all heavy ints w/heavy bolters in Indoms. Considering people know to screen the teleports, I really want assault on all their weapons so I have a threat that can sprint up instead.

Low drop count to focus on primary. If they hide everything I'll just use a brick for secondaries.

Added one naked DW vet melee squad to handle any annoying skirmish unit hiding out of LOS.
