I'm going up against a Deathwatch player soon and I've never fought that army before, I need some advice.
I've been told that every model in his army has a template weapon (No charging dat boss!) and that most of his army has a 36 inch range (Zog! Get behind sumfink!)

Now what tends to be a good tactic to deploy?

I usually rock in with a 'Battlewagon Blitz!' and do one of two things... against close combat armies I arm em all with killkannons and throw 5 s7 ap3 templates out on turn one, with a tonne of shoota boyz firing over the side.

Against shooty armies I drop the killkannons, zoom em forward as fast as I can and pile out 100 boyz with Pk nobz and clean up.

Would this work against the DeathWatch?

Get out and thump em! list (1.5k)

Bring up da tanks, boom boom boom! list (1.5k)

I'd just run as many boys as humanly possible. They're not that fast once they're out of that cool looking plane. Worried about flamers? send in a disposable unit first followed by the mob...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9026648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9026648.page GMT Orks VS Deathwatch.
The second list is too weak IMO, since 10 man boyz squads, even in killkannon battlewagon lists, are too anemic to make the most of them being gunboats and if the transport is popped, very likely to fail morale/pinning due to lack of numbers and Nob support. I would suggest trying out a unit of flash gitz since they can make the most of the scout move and have a 50% chance of ignoring marine armour with a sizable amount of dakka. I would also avoid putting so many points into dakkajets since reserves are too fickle without a comms relay and their damage output isn't amazing against marines. It'd probably be better to invest in tankbustas in trukks to give you some ranged answers to transports and they can kill MEQ units also in a pinch thanks to AP3. Consider Mek Gunz as well since Kustom Mega Kannons and Lobbas do a more lot more consistent damage than Lootas do. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027136.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027136.page GMT Orks VS Deathwatch.
As written, they can take a shotgun in addition to their Bolter. That's not much until you realize it has a Template profile. Add that to potential wounds from the Frag Cannon or Heavy Bolter Flamer and it can wipe out several dudes in one go.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027320.page GMT Orks VS Deathwatch.
I would go with the battlewagon list. Pure Deathwatch will have almost no answer to AV14 and the massed kilkannons should mulch just about anything but Land Raiders and flyers. Just bubble wrap them or back em up to buildings/board edge so he doesn't get melta shots on rear armour out of a drop pod.

I also like Grimskul's suggestion of FlashGitz. That's just the kind of mass firepower you want against such a low model count.

I'd also try to take a Big Mek but that's because I want to put one in almost any list I make. Either KFF or SAG could be fun. I had a SAG fielded against my DW last week and it vaporized a combat squad with one shot. Needless to say it was taken out the very next turn, but that's because he deployed it pretty far up so I was in range more quickly than I would have expected.

Anyway, as a player of both armies that's really about all I can offer.

Good Luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027503.page GMT Orks VS Deathwatch.
I would opt to run a shooty ork list comprised of healthy smatterings of armor and transports. A simple ork trukk packing some tankbustas x3 would work wonders at destroying deathwatch dudes and transports. Walkers will also do very well at drawing their attention. If you get some Kanz to threaten them they will put their expensive and deadly as hell shooting into those poor fellas instead of your horde of boyz with s4 shooting.

If they go big on alpha strike (lots of pods) feel free to leave important stuff in reserve, but keep enough msu units on the table to not be tabled and lose t1.

So go shooty (lots of shooty) and maybe even bring some kill kannons. Also remember the No Escape rule is a thing so if your trukks get near his templates kiss your squad goodbye.

Play the range game, counter deploy and swam him with weight of dice. 3+ saves will crumble and each time he loses a dude its a BIG deal. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708652/9027795.page GMT
