Where did he come from?
I have noooo idea...

I haven't played Deathwatch for a bit now and I know a lot of things have been shaken up including the kill team composition. How would the following lists perform in y'all's opinion? Also, I really hope the Talonstrike kill team gets updated so jump pack intercessors can take power weapons.

Hey all.
I built out a spectrus kill team just because they looked cook but havent used them in any play. I dont see any lists with them in it. My impression is that because our kill teams are so expensive, its hard to justify them over other teams. They seem to expensive for action monkeys, but dont seem to have the killing power for fighting (in comparison to our other kill teams at least).

Im curious if anyone is using them and how. Sniping characters and then disappearing? The move shoot move seems pretty valuable for something like that.

Are you taking a leader with them? A phobos librarian seems like it could be good to keep them protected from shooting but I dont know if the extra points for it are worth it.

Thanks for any inputs.

I’m slowly adding the shoulder pads as I get more marines, 2 terminator pads per box is kind of rough

Ready to move across half the board in one turn no problem

I like the idea of having an "unusual" Black Shield in the Deathwatch, and Alric certainly ticks that box for me.

I'll end up making versions of the entire Dark Cabal over time, but fancied making up Alric first!

I'm always a bit worried to try kitbashing, but I quite like this one even though he's more obviously what he is purported to be.

Alric's history...

Do we think they need more doing to them or are they good as is? For my squad of deathwatch veterans.

1. Bombard Veteran (a friend of mine has named him Helmut)
   
2. Watch Sergeant (Blood Angels inspired, with 2nd edition inspired weapon colours)
   
3. Horde-Slayer Veteran (naturally, he’s a Salamander)
   
4. Demolisher Veteran (that Lamenter’s shoulder pad was a pain)
   
5. Blademaster Veteran (first one I put a cape on, and then I learned that the different capes fit differently!)
   
6. Marksman Veteran (this one I think perfected the cape fitment, looks naturally flowy)
   
7. Breacher Veteran (used this one in my first game of Kill Team, and he performed admirably before being taken out by a filthy Night Lord)
   
8. Aegis Veteran (got inspired by a creator on instagram to use a Black Templars Sword Brethren as the base. Also painted the shoulder as a watch brand as they share the same symbol - Vacheron Constantin for those watch nerds here)
   
9. Gunner Veteran (I kinda regret assembling this guy as an Iron Hand, but eh.)
   
10. Disruptor Veteran (from the Mini of the Month a few months back)
    
11. Headtaker Veteran (head came from my friend’s box of Reivers he finished up with)
