Hi guys, I am trying to get back into playing 40k so I thought I would take a look at the Deathwatch book.

Great weapon and combo options so any advice and tips would be great as I don't have a lot of experience in actually playing the game.

Strategium Command Team
Deathwatch Chaplain
2 vanguard vets -2 power claws, power sword and flame pistol
6 Vets equipped with 2 storm shields, black shield upgrade, power sword, 3 shotguns riding in a Rhino

Aquila Kill Team
5 man vet squad equipped with frag cannon, infernus heavy bolter and 3 stalker boltguns
Terminator with cyclone missile launcher and assault cannon

Aquila Kill Team
5 man vet squad with infernus heavy bolter
Terminator with heavy flamer

5 man vet squad with infernus heavy bolter
Terminator with heavy flamer

I was not sure if I should list each squad with points but it can to 997p in total

Like I said at the beginning, I am a total noob at this so help would be great.

Thanks

Although I want to like the infermus heavy bolter there is really no reason to take it. for only 5 more points you can take just the frag cannon and its so much better. 2 templates or anti tank.

The problem with the infernus is often that the 3 heavy bolter shots extra range means nothing since most of the unit shoots 24" or less so you might as well take all frag.
