I've never been aware of the Deathwatch relying on stealth combat. As far as I knew, they would use any kind of attack, mainly working as a small team hitting far above their class to augment other Imperial units in the area?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/629150/7468291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/629150/7468291.page GMT Deathwatch Fandex Part 1: Kill Team
As for the rules, they're pretty uninspiring. 170pts for a Captain and 4 Sternguard Vets, when you can have 5 Sternguard for 120pts.

Sternguard are the ranged specalists of the Chapter, so why would taking a Captain be any useful, seeing as he has very little ranged capability and is more suited for combat?

Consider making them a complete new unit, rather than just counting them as Sternguard. Remove the Captain, make him an upgrade, and start the unit as 5 Marines for 100pts for example. They can then be upgraded with Sternguard ranged or Vanguard CC weapons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/629150/7468529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/629150/7468529.page GMT Deathwatch Fandex Part 1: Kill Team CC weapon, you can't claim extra attacks for charging). If you're trying to do an entire Deathwatch mini-'Dex I'd suggest having a Watch-Captain or Librarian as HQ and Kill-Teams with just a plain old Sergeant function as Elites, with a Deathwatch Detachment of 1-2 HQ and 1-3 Elites. There is canon evidence for Deathwatch aircraft, Land Speeders, Dreadnaughts, Terminator armour, and Thunderhawk Transporter-dropped vehicles if you're looking for ideas to expand this out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/629150/7468834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/629150/7468834.page GMT Deathwatch Fandex Part 1: Kill Team
