I know this is spammy. I want to stay mono codex, be competitive, be able to handle 3 knights, 5 flyers and 60 plaguebearers.

Chaplain with jump pack
Watch master

3 units of 10 vets with 6 SS, 6SB vet Sarge and 4 missile launchers.
3 units of 10 vets with 3 terminators with cyclone missile launchers 6 SB and SS 1 vanguard vet

10 vanguard vets with SS and Bolter pistol and 4 thunderhammers.

Unfortunately it’s difficult for deathwatch to handle everything. The plaguebearers are pretty easy to get rid of because of the storm bolters in vet squads. The knights you have to play the objectives games. Not sure how to deal with flyers. More jump pack, thunder hammer captains? If you have the cash runnng 2 leviathan dreadnoughts with storm array cannons have been good. Easily takes care of better infantry units and can serve double duty as a mid table knight killer. Just remember they are short range though:

I have the leviathans. What to add to unlock them though.

The cheapest Heavy Support, I believe, is the Quad Mortar Rapier. I use those to unlock Leviathans, and Primaris Apothecaries to unlock my Deredeos, if I want to save points. However, I like to have a Quad Las Mortis Contemptor as my Heavy Support tax, and Redemptor as Elite tax, when I can make it work.

Quad-autocannon CMorts are rock solid tax units if you're feeling the points pinch and dont want to spring for Quad-las loadouts Basically think of them as slower, but much deadlier, Armigers.

What do you think about vet squads with 4 missile launchers?
When surrounded by shields they will last longer than the dreads.

Missile launchers are outclassed by the autocannons when using frag missiles, and by the lascannons when going for krak missiles, IMO by a large enough margin that they aren't worth it compared to their expense. I'd rather have more SB/SS vets and a Terminator in my Veteran Kill Teams, personally. The autocannon Contemptor Mortis are cheaper than lascannon versions, but DW really doesn't need anything beyond Veterans to handle infantry so I prefer the lascannons.

I believe the rapier quad Heavy Bolter is cheaper 76 points. Also lost the missile launchers and add terminators, a bike and a vanguard vet to those vet squads if you can
