Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Deathwatch (section)

===Pros===
*'''Operation Operators Operating Operationally''' - The Deathwatch are the Imperium's premier xenos-hunting special forces, and as a result they get the best gear.
*'''Codex: [[Your Dudes]]''' - The relatively small model count and composition of many different chapters allows for great modelling and character opportunities. More so than any other army - you can really individualize each model, as they are all experienced veterans from different chapters. Trade bits with other Marine players to make each model stand out. Run your Kill-team from the [[Deathwatch (RPG)|Deathwatch RPG]] as part of your army!
*'''Awesome Paint Scheme:''' Because Black and Silver is the new Black.
*'''Quick And Easy To Get Onto The Table''' - The simple, yet awesome, paint scheme, combined with the low model count, means Deathwatch are [[Adeptus Custodes|one]] [[Grey Knights|of]] the fastest armies to get built, painted, and battle-ready. And, if you like to play Sternguard and Vanguard veterans as [[Counts As|count as]] Deathwatch, you likely already have the beginnings of a kill-team or two ready to go.
*'''Forge World Support:''' As of the FAQ 1.1, Deathwatch can now field units from the Forge World Index: Forces of the Adeptus Astartes book. This opens up a wealth of possibilities with access to tons of dreadnoughts, flyers, tanks, super-heavy transports, and other craziness.
*No longer are your Veterans just Sternguard in disguise, you are now the only guys with access to special issue ammunition.
*One of only two armies with Frag Cannons. [[Derp|Though somehow only Deathwatch have the portable version while Blood Angels are limited to mounting Frag Cannons on their Dreadnoughts.]]
*Because [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4-9uGTfPBw| Squad Loadout] is the personal theme of your local gaming group.
*You're a fan of [[X-COM]] and the FFG board game just doesn't work for you. With some work, Inquisition allies means you can build a fully upgraded Psi-operative and a close approximation of the [[Awesome|Commander's Avatar]]. Tech-Priest Lily Shen and the misanthropic snarky robot sidekick cost extra.
*Corvus Blackstar, the coolest looking flyer in the game. <s>Subjective</s>. "Objectively subjective".
*One of two factions that can take Terminators in the troops slot(for now). Though yours require a bit more work than [[Grey_Knights|Grey Knights]] as they are add-ons for Power Armor squads. You could count [[Space Wolves]] but they only get one Wolf Guard Termi per squad as an upgrade.
*Lots of wound re-rolls and a focus on adaptability. With Stratagems geared against specific xenos foes and bonuses against units with specific battlefield roles, list tailoring is a cinch. 
*Primaris-friendly; access to Special Issue Ammunition and mixed squads does a lot to address the NuMarines' issues with overspecialization.
*Excellent anti-horde capabilities. Between frag cannons, storm bolters with SIA, combi-flamers, a decent amount of melee attacks, and more, your veterans can handle any horde with ease.
