I could really use some advice/suggestions so please send them my way. Here is what I am thinking so far...

Black Spear Strikeforce

Aquilia Kill-Team: 384 pts
(T) Veterans (7):
-(3) frag cannon

(E) Terminator w/ storm shield, thunder hammer
(FA) Biker

Aquilia Kill-Team: 399 pts

-(3) infernus heavy bolter
-(2) storm shield, (2) power maul
-Watch Sergeant w/ xenophase blade, storm shield

(T) Veterans (7):
-(4) frag cannon
-storm shield, power axe
-heavy thunder hammer

Kill-Team: 130 pts

Watch Commander: 95 pts

Inquisitorial Deatchment: 78 pts

1st Aquilia Kill-Team and the regular Kill-team both deep strike in wherever they are needed. Inquisitor will roll with the 1st Aquilia. 2nd Aquilia Kill-Team is accompanied by the Chaplain and the Artemis and rides in the Corvus. The Malleus Kill-Team drops in near HS targets and attempts to lay waste to as much as possible.

Looks pretty cool. I would have Artemis working with a chaplain if at all possible, so that the stasis bomb is more reliable. Also, Dark Blue on Black is hard to read.


Swapped Artemis and the Inquisitor. Also, switched the color....apologies for that]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699887/8849651.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699887/8849651.page GMT Re:[1850] - Deathwatch - Deathwatch Black Spear Strikeforce http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699887/8849969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699887/8849969.page GMT Re:[1850] - Deathwatch - Deathwatch Black Spear Strikeforce

You're doing a lot of role mixing, I'd suggest focus on designating each squad for specific roles instead of doing a combo of assault and shooting. Also I personally feel Power Swords are the worst, go mauls or axes.


The storm shields are there mostly for survivabilty. They lack invul saves otherwise and deep striking MEQ's in small numbers doesn't allow for much survival. I have to protect them when I only have a handful of squads. Plus I feel the Deatwatch strength is having units that can effectively fill multiple roles.

Most of my troops are using axes and mauls, I figured having a couple with swords wouldn't hurt. The ap3 at initiative isn't so bad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699887/8850197.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/699887/8850197.page GMT
