Greetings everyone,

I'm planning out a narrative-themed army for a tournament I'll be attending this summer. The basic story behind my army is;
- The Eldar have attacked a peacefull Imperial world in order to retrieve an ancient relic that has the power to unleash warp storms.
- Under the guise of aiding the embattled Imperial forces, a Deathwatch Kill-team is sent to find and retrieve this relic before the Eldar can get their unclean hands on it!
- After removing the relic from the protective wards keeping its power in check, it goes haywire and opens up a warp storm over the world, allowing a massive Daemonic host to break through into realspace.
- Now with their prize in tow, the Deathwatch must fight their way through both friend and foe alike to return the relic to the statis chamber abord their orbiting ship.

So, my army is basically going to be;
Daemons as my primary detachment, representing the chaotic host now running amock!
'counts as' CSM allies to represent the Deathwatch Kill-team fighting through all sides + some cultists counting as the hapless PDF forces now pooping themselves!

Now, for my Deathwatch, I was wanting to highlight the fact that the kill-team would be made up of marines from Chapters that;
a) have an in-depth knowledge of the Warp/Chaos and/or tend to work closely with the Inquisition in combating chaotic forces.
b) tend to walk a fine line with the Inquisition due to their prediliction for hunting down 'tainted' artifacts.
c) are super secretive in nature and/or tend to be looked upon with suspision by other Imperial forces.

So far, I've chosen the following Chapters;
- Blood Raven = Librarian team-leader
- Dark Angel = Heavy bolter specialist
- Fire Angel = Heavy bolter specialist
- Black Dragon = Flamer specialist
- Exorcist
- Night Watch
- Blood Drinker

I need help figuring out 4 more Chapters to draw my recruits from, using the above guidelines! And above all, I don't want to duplicated already chosen Chapters obviously...

I'll be running a pair of 5 man squads to represent the kill-team breaking down into combat squads. So 5 dudes will be 'counts as' Chosen and be the more 'veteran' assaulty squad, while the other 5 will be 'counts as' Havocs representing the fire support role. (Special Ammo provided by an Icon of Flame representing Metalstorm ammo!)


So Dakka, what other ideas can you come up with for recruits?!
