I'm creating a list to play against Deathwatch for the first time and I'm curious how much I should expect to see heavy vehicles.

My standard anti-tank shooters at 2000 points are-
1x Ballistus Dreadnought
2x 3 Eradicators
2x 5 Hellblasters

I think of Deathwatch as all elite infantry and Eradicators are only useful against Vehicles. Should I still bring two small Eradicator squads? Thanks.
Deathwatch are Marines.
So you can see anything in their roster. Could be a power armored horde. Could be Land Raider spam. Could be a more balanced force.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827535.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827535.page GMT What should I expect vs Deathwatch?

1) Why would you think that? Please expain.

2) Yes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827544.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827544.page GMT What should I expect vs Deathwatch? DW are pretty flexible. You can take almost an entirely infantry army using their very effective Kill Teams and do well because they have the ability to teleport around the battlefield. Alternatively, you can take something closer to a more traditional SM army with a bunch of vehicles, including transports and Dreadnoughts. I favour the former, but it depends on your opponent.

Eradicators are good against SM armies in general. Against vehicles they can be pretty effective but at S9 an AP-4 they do well into most SM infantry too.

Also, I find it's usually good practice not to tailor your list against specific opponents. Try to come up with a list that can handle different types of opponents without having to change anything. You'll become a better player overall if you do this.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827549.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827549.page GMT What should I expect vs Deathwatch? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819152/11827592.page GMT
