I think I have all the books. Since this is my first time running Deathwatch I'm open to anything being used, but I'd want to look at it all to make sure I was aware of what it did before giving a definite yay or nay.

Is there anything you feel could be problematic?

I’m not at the comp to check everything, but I read up on Devastator online and it looks cool
It's all good, and it's all in fun.  Now get in the pit and try to love someone.

Devastators are the heavy support firepower specialists of the team. In my tabletop group, ours was a Salamander who carried around several flamer weapons.

So I'm gonna look through the corebook a lil later now I'm properly in and settling down for the evening, probably have a better concept idea once I remember the basics of the chapters and stuff, then I can figure what team role may be fun.

I'd have loved to have gone Deathwing for nostalgia, as my first proper 1,500pt army in 3rd edition was them, though that's like Rank 4+ shiz, so I'll see what else I can muster up. :)

HairyHeretic

I was going to discuss the option of starting with something above rank 1 characters, but maybe not as high as rank 4. You want to have something to aim for after all :)

I'm happy with Rank 1 btw. I think less shenanigans can be pulled that way and the Space Marines are still damn OP at that level.

Yeah, that sounds like fun ^_^ And probably won't be too confusing for someone who doesn't know the lore or what the other characters can do.

Given the options, I'd prefer Rank 1 just because I'm going to be hitting the ground running as is.

Okay, made up my mind now.

I'm gonna go for a stealth sniper build (yeah I know Space Marines are 7' tall slabs of clunking meat in massive armour... ::) ), so I'd like to go Raven Wing for Chapter, then I'm gonna go with Devestator myself, though looking more for long range sniping dead-eye stuff than picking a huge gun and blasting away willy-nilly. ^^

Also, I happen to dig Corvus Corax, he touches my emo side.  ;D

My own character in our tabletop game is a Raven Guard sniper :) He normally has a stalker pattern bolter, plus an astartes sniper rifle. If that's more what you're looking for, tactical rather than devastator maybe?

That is what I meant yes, Raven Guard for Chapter and I was going for exactly that kind of thing. I noticed the Devestator had more BS buffs, though I wanted to avoid the heavy cost of Agility and the Heavy weapon buffs... So yeah, I'll go Tactical then and specialise towards that kind of build. :)

Also, I noticed a Silencer can only be put on a needle rifle and I can't find the needle rifle in the gear list... >__>

Needle rifles are also very rare. Honeslty there is the astartes pattern sniper rifle, but the stalker bolter is better than either of them at the end of the day. Anf you dont need a silencer with stalker rounds. Which do the same thing its jsust built into the bullet

So, one assault marine, one tactical, one devastator and one librarian confirmed. Any interest in an apothecary or techmarine to round things out? :)

I've opened an OOC thread here. We can move across there for further discussion and start working up characters and answering any questions.

Love 40k, but there isnt really a viable option for a female character in deathwatch is there? :(

HairyHeretic

Not an easy one, no.

The rulebook does suggest allowing Ascension level Dark Heresy characters to join a Kill Team, but when I was looking into that very subject earlier today, most of the comments on FFGs forum was that this didn't work very well in practice.

Popping in real quick to say that I have been considering a Salamander apothecary, since you don't see a lot of those. Perhaps he is a giant among giants, which is why everyone is surprised when he takes more of a support role.

Cool. I'll update that when I'm home. We have an ooc thread set up now as well, if you want to join us there.

Muse

*Laughs*  Well, it looks like what you're playing is exactly what I'm always trying to play, so let me look at a Tactical Marine, unless there's something else it would be good to have?

I think the only think we're currently missing is a techmarine, but another tactical is fine as well. Come across to the ooc thread :)
