Howdy guys, with the new 'Nids coming next week, I've decided to add a small Deathwatch killteam of Sternguard (to go along with my ten man Tyrannic War Veterans squad and Chaplain Cassius), just to reinforce the theme of my army being the Scourge of the Xenos.

Since I'm using UM CT though, I think it's only fair that every model in the killteam should be an UM successor, this is where I require your help. Ideally, I'll be using chapters that have experience against Tyranids, and so far I've got Scythes of the Emperor and Imperius Reavers as definites, any other ideas you guys have would be greatly appreciated, if we can't think of that many, other xenos scum will do.

Cheers in advance guys,
Buca

Oh, and to keep on form with our threads lately, which is the most powerful team member? [/sarcasm]

Possibly Novamarines, Theyr'e very xenophobic but Im not entirley sure if they have faced nids before though. But I guess given the chance they'd join a xeno hunter team.

Good point, nice excuse to use a head with laurels on if I do a Novamarine too.
Thank you Sierra.

The Mortifactors have definately seen some Nid action. You can probably bet that the Genesis Chapter have too.

No Problem, Also the Iron Snakes were apparently involved in attacks against Hive Fleet Leviathan too so they could be good to use too.

Scythes of the Emperor
Imperius Reavers
Novamarines
Mortificators
Iron Snakes
Genesis Cahpter

Other chapters you could include are
Sons of Orar
Howling Griffons
Praetors of Orpheus
White Consuls
Black Consuls
Doom Legion
Silver Skulls
Ultramarines themselves (squad sergeant?)

We've got the Tyrannic War Vets coming now. I'd wait and see their rules first.

Praetors of Orpheus would make a nice addition as they are somewhat tied to the Mechanicus. Could get a heavily bionic upgraded marine in there for variety.

Great ideas so far guys, thank you very much. Dataslate drops this weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to go REALLY fluffy with this squad.
