I have decided to collect a Deathwatch army.

I can hear some of you cry "Deathwatch are not an army". You are indeed correct, they may not be an army, but there must have been some point in the 41st Millennium where a Deathwatch army has been summoned.

My army is going to use this clause to justify being an army.

The only thing is... Which codex do I use?

Space Wolves give me access to a lot of characters that can be represented from the DW RPG Background.

Blood Angels have a lot of kool rules and the Stormraven. They also have Sternguard which are pretty core with their ammo rules.

Vanilla Marines have Pedro Kantor and Sternguard.

Black Templars and Dark Angels have nothing that interest me for the Deathwatch.

Ideally I want to fill all of these roles that are from the DW RPG books:

Deathwatch Black Shield

Deathwatch Champion

Deathwatch Chaplain

Deathwatch Dreadnought

Deathwatch Epistolary

Deathwatch Forge Master

Deathwatch Keeper

Deathwatch Kill-marine

Deathwatch Watch Captain

First Company Veteran

Any help would be greatly accepted.

Thanks.

One of my friends has mentioned that I should create an "all marine" army.

Something about doing a list for each meq codex and picking one whenever a game arises.

It keeps the game fresh for me, but surely this is frowned upon?

That's the general feedback I've been getting about it.

Wysiwyg seems to be the general consensus to allow it as you have the models, but as you say morals might not.

I just don't want to spend a boat load on an army and get bored of it. It just seems that this is the way forward, failing consrtucting my own chapter/warband.
