I'd have no qualms playing as a Deathwatch member - although maybe alongside large quantities of other forces to get a sense of the epic scale of 40K. TBH, I'm suprised that THQ used the Ultramarines in the original Space Marine, as the format of only 3 Astartes stalling an Ork Waaagh seems, IMO, more suited to the actions of a Deathwatch kill-team than to a conventional chapter's company command squad, but of course as an introduction to 40K (For non 40K fans), using the Ultramarines is a fair move as they're probably the most well known outside of 40K fans.
