Kitbashed some deathwatch intercessors but do I go deathwatch for special ammo on their pistols or take a chapter tactic and if so which tactics?

White scars seem pretty good with auto bolt rifles. But an AP-2 shot in close combat sounds quite good as well.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

Ravenguard is a good choice as their extra range over Tacticals makes them even better at taking advantage of that -1 to hit at >12" range.

The DW special ammo is a good mutipurpose addition, with a round for every occasion.

But Salamander tactics, Raven Guard and Imperial Fists all look pretty good. Choose what you think you'd make the best use of.

You're probably using then for objective camping so I'd say Raven Guard or Iron Hands. No Chapter Tactic is bad for them though barring Black Templars (but that's more fitting for other units, and even then being able to shoot and better land a charge with their two attacks isn't a bad deal).
