Hi all,

I've got a 1000pt Twin Linked Tournament coming up next week. My team mate is bringing 1000pts of Primaris and armour, although I'm not entirely sure how he's going to make it up.
My offering is -

++ Patrol Detachment (Imperium - Deathwatch) [33 PL, 541pts] ++

+ HQ [5 PL, 97pts] +

Watch Captain: Master-crafted boltgun, Power fist

+ Troops [18 PL, 210pts] +

Deathwatch Kill Team. 4 x Veteran; Boltgun. 1 x Veteran; Heavy Bolter
Deathwatch Kill Team. 4 x Veteran; Boltgun. 1 x Veteran; Heavy Bolter

+ Dedicated Transport [10 PL, 234pts] +

Razorback; Storm bolter, Twin lascannon
Razorback; Storm bolter, Twin lascannon

++ Super-Heavy Auxiliary Detachment (Imperium - Questor Imperialis) [24 PL, 458pts] ++

Knight Paladin: 2 x Heavy stubber, Rapid-fire battle cannon, Reaper chainsword

++ Total: [57 PL, 999pts] ++

How I'll play it depends entirely on what our opponents bring to the table. Thoughts, comments and criticisms welcome.

Thanks

at 1k pts? I feel the imperial knight may be an over-investment. he's a mere 42pts from being half your army.... and I just can't see him killing his points back. the twin las razorbacks are a solid choice, and relatively cheap HQ are good moves. kill teams can probably drop the heavy bolters as they're only going to provide the same -1ap as every single one of the primaris allies' bolt rifles? (unless I'm mistaken?)

it's just my opinion, but I'd re-write the list with those 458pts spent in a few high power, multi-wound units. see also; predator annihilators?

Thanks, I'll need to check the Index when I get home as I'm writing this on the train.

But can Deathwatch take predators? I'm using Battlescribe to make lists on my commute.

Yes, since they are "Imperium". Though they will not have the "Deathwatch" keyword.

Thanks for the replies and advice and apologies for the delay in replying.

I've had a tinker about with the list and am quite comfortable with it. I've dropped the Knight and come up with this. Comments are more than welcome.
