This is rules for the characters in the Deathwatch RPG I am playing on Dark's Penthouse. Made personally by me, ( except for Gaius Marius who was designed mostly by the owner, Coolyo, and I added on something to that) unofficially and without permission. Fluff justification can be found at the Dark's Penthouse in the
Deathwatch main thread and also the character reference sheet in the Game Companion section. More characters to cone as I ran out of space. Yet more will hoepfully come after them as non-active Players join the game.

Deathwatch Killteam Genrhart
Special Rules
Each member of the killteam is treated as its own single model unit. However, if you wish, members of the Killteam may join up. So if you had 3 members you could organise them as a 3 model unit instead. This choice must be made during deployment and individual models cannot leave the unit (with exception of independent Characters

I like it.

I'm pretty sure Black Templar don't get paired with Librarians when taking part of the Deathwatch, something about Black Templar having a hateon for Psykers.

As do i. Though I do not know how you can represent Nisroc's less strength.

He grew tolerant of it. And he is serving in the Watch. Which means he is assigned these marines, so he can't make any reason as to why he can't have one.

If this is in effect, and Drostan is wounded, you may automatically pass his Look Out Sir! Roll, and the wound must be given to Hadrius.
Pirge the Weakness
If you have Imperial Guard Allies which fall back within range and Line of Sight of Hadrius' Reaper Autocannon, Hadrius may decide to act as a stand in commissar. Hadrius immediately resolves a shooting attack at that unit, treating it as an enemy, and the unit automatically passes its morale test instead. Wounds caused by this do not cause a morale check.

@ Ash

I didn't know either so I decided just to leave it as any lack of Strength would be negligible and I didn't want to make him Guardsmen strength.

Impressive. I like how you portrayed the team and rules from their previous actions..

Thanks very much Ineptus.

Awesome. Though I think Hadrius should leave at least one guardsman alive in his acting commissar rule.

Right, I'll have a crack at this too. DS, you're trying to make them all personal heroes rather than an actual unit.

Yay, My dude's a generic scrub!

He's got a snazzy Plasma gun..

Just realised the squad has a severe lack of anti-vehicle weaponry. Next time I feel like writing rules I'll have to edit in somewhere that 2 boltgun users can exchange them for a flamer, plasma gun or meltagun.

But of course as a primarily anti-infantry unit that will, I imagine, only have about 7 marines in an average sized game, probably geared towards close combat, just for hitting infantry whilst the rest of the army deals with vehicles.

Yay, My character can make you all fail morale checks!

Hadrius had a missile launcher during the Ishkur Prime mission. Might change it to that.

Combined with ATSKNF, it's quite a useful ability Ineptus. Pretty much just the vanilla combat tactics.

Yeah, I know I should give some more options for heavy/special weapons, as well as melta bombs and teleport homers and all that good stuff. I'll revise the rules later.

Using my rules, if I had to pick the most effective unit I could just off the top of my head, then...

Sergeant Gaius
Apothecary Pentus
Sevran Valar
Morgoth
Varus Renzo
Lithonius Solisto

200 points for 6 models infiltrating 18-12" from the enemy then moving with full mobility and putting out a fair amount of firepower with special ammo and the heavy bolter, then assaulting with decent results from Sev, Morgoth, Gaius and to a lesser extent, Varus. FnP keeps them alive just that bit longer. With jump packs and infiltration they would be 60 points more expensive but even then a far cheaper version of the Shrike/vanguard bomb that some people favour. Would work well against Meq armies, I think, but horde armies? Not so well..

They'll almost certainly die, but they could easily keep a troop unit tied up for a turn or two and be a thorn in the enemies' side just long enough for you to get your army into a good position. The 2D6 charge range really makes or breaks this strategy though.

.

Well in ways you could use a mix of marius, kol and hadrius to do more heavy hitting. Marius would deal out the real punching power, kol would repair marius when he loses a hull point or gets a weapon destroyed and hadrius would protect kol from damage while also keeping the flank clear.

Working on it. I have Arfiel, Gaius, Morgoth is WIP right now, and Sev could use a bit of work. They were the ones I could start on with the bits I had lying about. They're all at the planet where we murdered a whole gak tonne of orks. T'was icy. Forgot the name of it.

For the bronze knight and Nisroc I suggest a Robed guy for Nisroc and the Bronze Knight is basically a assualt marine with a relic blade and a melta pistol.

Both were icy, we killed a fethtonne of orks on ygdrassil as well as even more on ishkur prime Helm's De- Hive Ulysses.

Special rules
And the Shall know no fear, Independent Character
Master Swordsman
When Participating in a challenge, KNight may reroll all of his missed attacks. In addition, his keen mind is able to block out interfering voices, so a challenge involving Knight does not benefit from the Morale Support (Get 'im Boss!) rule, on either side.
Outsider
Knight is not a member of killteam Gernhart and therefore must always remain as a unit of his own. He cannot join other killteam marines, and they him, unless they are also independent Characters. He does not benefit from the Hatred Xenos rule and does not have Special Issue ammunition. Other Killteam marines do not benefit from his Leadership.

Ishkur, that's it. Asherian, I only did guys that I had the parts on hand for (I really wanted to do Pentus and Bjorn too).
