Hey Everyone,
So first some context. I've only played about 6 games of 40k in the 8th/9th era, all with a Iron Warriors force. I have a Deathwatch army that I started as a "getting back into 40k" force around 2018, but it was more of a painting project (It won 3rd place at my local store's Armies on Parade that year). So therefore basically none of my collection is kitted out for the current meta. Also I found the Deathwatch rules pretty confusing, and list building more complicated than other armies, but I still want to give it a try after all these years.
I'll just be playing a friendly 750pt game against a friend who'll probably be playing Craftworld Eldar (hence the Culexus Assassin - gotta get that Farseer!). So I've tailored it as much as I can given my limited knowledge of how the army works and my collection (I would of loved to get the Corvus Blackstar in but though it was a bit much for a 750pt game).

The only real tactics I have in mind are Combat Squading the Vanguard vets so they can just jump around and smash with their hammers, and at some point have the Assassin appear near his Farseer and do his job title.
