Shenaniganz Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Umm just wantd to check if this was legal before i wrote up my army list It says that a space marine tactical squad may field a deathwatch veteran instead of a usual marine for 20 points instead of the normal amount. It also says that up to 2 deathwatch veterans can be armed with a special weapon, plasma gun, melta gun etc. So would it be legal to have say... for example a tactical squad with 6 marines all up 2 with bolters 1 with a heavy bolter 1 with a plasma gun 1 deathwatch veteran with a plasma gun 1sargeant upgrade to deathwatch veteran, given terminator honours and a master crafted stalker pattern silenced bolter ? I know this would be very cheesy and all but still it would be pretty cool :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146424-deathwatch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praeger Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 This is from the VERY old chapter aproved article I beleive. Yes that would be allowed, no its not chessy as you are paying ALOT of points for a unit that is still easy to kill off. However im not sure if these rules are even legal anymore as the current Marine codex might have come out after this article....and if nothing else they wont be playable with the new codex almost released so dont think there is any real point in the modeling sorry :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146424-deathwatch/#findComment-1699276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniclurker Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 No, they aren't legal anymore. Also, no, this is not a good set. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146424-deathwatch/#findComment-1699279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maligoare Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 The DW veterans taken in a normal SM squad actually costs 5 points per model, and the only extra option they have available is the special ammunitions. The special weapons and so on are listed as options for a Kill Team Squad. The Stalker bolter seems legit though.
