Out of curiosity, does anyone play this?

Rules are here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o3u9y1sjyt0rtja/Deathwatch%20Campaign.pdf?dl=0

My local group is starting up a campaign. I will feed back my thoughts on it.

I am currently putting together a six man kill team. Kill Team Cassius, now that I think about it, is actually viable with a little homebrewing (Add Blood Ravens traits).
General outline of the killteam is

Watch Champion Fabian: Powerfist and combi grav. Ultramarine.
Apothecary Zunnox: Bolt pistol, chainsword and narthecium, Iron Hand.
Lexicanum Moralessio: Force Stave, Terminator, Storm Bolter. Blood Angel.
Battle bro Solock: Combi plasma, Dark Angel
Battle bro Ytrius: Combi flamer, Salamander
Battle bro Suramus: Combi melta, Black Templar.

Why don't you just play FFG's Deathwatch RPG? I don't get it. Unless your specifically looking to play with models or something.

Because A) feth buying more books
B) Nobody plays it around here
C) It's a fluff marine VS xenos killteam game.

That and any marine player can play it and still understand the rules without going through pages of new books.

The ongoing campaign they are putting up on YouTube is pretty entertaining. I've been watching it this morning. Those guys have the best job in the world.

Because while the same universe the 40k version is fundamentally different than playing an RPG.

I can't wait to hear them!

Just remember the rules that we put together are quite loose, and should really be adapted to your gaming group's style.

I've already got ideas for how I'm going to change them (revamping the death and injury tables, making upgrading better) for our future campaigns too.

Holy Cow, is this actually Matt? I haven't seen you before on this forum!

It is!

I'm on here occasionally, mainly just as a lurker.

Hopefully we'll all get more active. I've always been meaning too!

Idea: Biker deathwatch marines?

The Deathwatch Overkill characters are almost perfect for this thing but how they would transfer into this ruleset I do not know.

I am working on a set of games using this. I am very excited.

Wow, made my day. Been a vault member for almost 2 years. Keep up the content!

Not to sidetrack the thread here, but I love the channel! I really enjoy your narrative content. Joined the vault a couple weeks ago just to watch the Deathwatch Campaign. Keep up the good work, man.
