This is a list I have been trying to run for an upcoming Tournament. I have 2 separate lists, but this one is the one I am leaning to the most. I have had decent results with them so far
Deathwatch veterans
1) Shotgun/bolter
2)Infernus Bolter (Reaping Volley)
3)Shotgun/bolter
4)Shotgun/bolter (Leader)(chooses scout if Trait to choose is rolled)
5)Shotgun/bolter
Deathwatch Bikers
1) Power Sword (FnP)
2) Power Sword ( Killer Instinct)

I was thinking of dropping the powersword on one biker to give a melta Bomb to help hurt vehicles. Thought on this list?

This is a nice base for the list. I LOVE the reaping volley on the infernus heavy bolter... just started using that myself. So good.

Don't forget about the special "named" character solo-model-units, like Edryc (the lightning claw vet guy)... I'd drop the cc biker for him. He's a boss.

I like him because he has shrouded and stealth turn 1, can use the jump pack in both phases, and then give him the move through cover rule so you don't have to worry about losing him by jumping into terrain. Or, you can give him the +1 WS trait if you feel risky. He is so good!

Basically what I run and have had good luck with. I put a Rhino in over the second bike, but its a valid option for sure.

I like the idea pf Edryc. Never thought of using him. Love his book and model. I thought there was no named characters. But I am new to kill team.

I wonder how a team with 4 infernus bolters would do.

It would probably really struggle with numbers since you can only put Reaping Volley on one of them.
