I already made a Deathwatch Marines and Veterans version on Deviantart without points included, but I really need some feedback wether it on Dakka or Deviantart. I already thought about giving Veterans an extra special rule to make them slightly different from regular Deathwatch Marines.

Minor, awesome change: Deathwatch are specially trained and prepared for the enemy they're about to fight. Why not allow them to buy special ammunition - not a particular type, just 'special ammunition'. Then the first time they're deployed in a game allow the player to pick an ammo type. That allows you to keep cool ammo types like Antiphase (which is absolutely worthless, BTW needs AP4) without penalizing the Deathwatch player.

No problem for me. I shall take a look when I'm gonna change it, since I'm creating a new homebrew right now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660810/8770770.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660810/8770770.page GMT Deathwatch Unit Homebrew (and need some feedback please) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660810/8831409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/660810/8831409.page GMT Deathwatch Unit Homebrew (and need some feedback please)
