For starters, yes I know
DW are pretty bad. Mostly doing this escalation league to get my
DW collection fully painted. My goal is not to win so much as put up a good fight while thematically still being Deathwatch. I might toss in some inquisition/assassins at the higher points levels to give me some anti Psyker support but Guard are out because they're my main army and already mostly painted. That said, here's the list for round one.
Strategy is incredibly simple. Drop in the Captain, preferably to a spot where I can move the
KT into frag cannon range the following turn, then use the relic to move the giant
KT to his location.
There's a lot of Custodes armies being stood up in the league, so good odds my opponents will be running at least one jetbike captain at this level, if not, then three in a supreme command. Hopefully 8D6 auto hitting overwatch will help me out there. The terminators are there to shrug off Bolter/lasgun shots and the storm shields are there to stop plasma and above.
