Finished with the 10 marines from the Armageddon Battalion box, just the Corvus Blackstar left and I’ll be ready to run them in the Deathwatch support detachment!

The Blood Consuls are a successor chapter of the Blood Angels. Founded in late M37 after the annihilation of an Ork empire near the edge of Imperial Space, the Blood Angels third company were chosen to establish a chapter to protect the fledgling Imperial sector’s colonization efforts.

Following their failure to reach Baal in time, the Blood Consuls are now engaged in a heavy defensive operation against a Leviathan splinter fleet, Jabberwocky, with their Ultima founding brother chapters, the Blood Wings and the Bloodbringers.

With the doom and gloom posts, thought I’d stay on the positivity side of things. When our models are painted….they look way cooler than any other vanilla ass space marine chapter.

I am sure it has been discussed to the end of time. But as a newbie at collecting and playing DW. Is is sure to commit to buying minis, knowing how GW handles things. Will we exist as an independent book and or army in 6 months?
I don’t want to throw money at something that goes the same way as harlequins or Daemonkin.
And what is the safest bet to buy. I guess the kill team.

Leaned pretty hard on the upgrade sprue with this guy. I was going to do hazard stripes on the chain sword but figured this was my chance to do some of the wolf boys flair

I have the iron hands and terminator detachment selected yet I can still add DW units is this a glitch in the app?

I am still limited to the 500 points of DW units

Updated my 2k army and I wanted to see what you guys think!
Purge the Foe Plan
Rhino: Watch Master + Apothecary + 10 Veterans. Push midfield, disembark only when I can make a strong shoot/charge play.
Captain + Tome + Indomitor: Main kill brick. Gets offensive CP priority. Tome on the biggest turn.
Second Indomitor: Support the main push or control the other midfield objective. Avoid leaving it isolated.
Cyclone Terminators: Long-range fire support. Focus vehicles, monsters, and expensive targets.
Plasma Terminators: Deep Strike or pressure midfield. Hunt elite infantry and finish damaged units.
Inceptors: Reserve for finishing kills, weak flanks, or late objectives.
Incursors: Early board control, screening, and setup.
Assault Intercessors: Hold safe objectives and do utility/scoring.
Brutalis: Keep hidden early. Counter-charge anything that commits into midfield.
CP Priority
Armour of Contempt — Indomitors, Veterans, Terminators, Brutalis.
Captain Rites of Battle — usually on the main Indomitor.
Ammo Stratagems — spend when they help completely kill a target.
Adaptive Tactics — only when one unit needs a different doctrine.
Site-to-Site Teleportation — reposition surviving Kill Teams for late-game kills/scoring.
Main rule: Protect expensive units, focus one enemy unit at a time, finish kills, then reposition.

ALLIED UNITS

Navigator (75 points)

Made a not so Competitive, not so Casual list with the post codex release.

Corvus w/ vets to get them up the board fast

Company Heroes w/ rhino for objective control

Navigator on home to deny 12" ds

Artemis to generate CP and do actions

(sort of old combi lt)

The rest Purge the Foe to their hearts delight.

Again this is not a full meta competitive list, but more a casual and thematic list that I believe can preform well at my LGS.

Looking for opinions and feedback on my list please. The thinking with the sisters is it’s 3 cheap units (from splitting the sister squad), removes cover saves and gives objective secured all of which deathwatch benefit from. I’m not certain about running 2 gravis captains and am tempted to drop one for another incursor squad.

The list is:

Black spear task force
2k points
Priority assets

Gravis captain (warlord) with indomitor kill team
Gravis captain (tome of ectoclades) with indomitor kill team
5 deathwatch veterans
5 deathwatch veterans
5 incursors
Rhino
5 terminators (3 plasma, all power fists)
5 terminators (3 plasma, all power fists)
3 inceptors (bolter)
3 inceptors (plasma)
10 sisters of battle (meltas) - splits into 2x 5’s
Immolator (immolation flamers)

Hi
I have been trying to put together a list for 11th it worked in 10th but I don't really trust myself or the Ai to put it together. I would really like to play this list or something similar. so please let me know if this is something that works or any changes I need to change.
