Deathwatch Kill Team

So I finally got my Deathwatch Kill Team done.  This is mainly a fluff unit, but the models are just too cool.

Deathwatch Kill Team Helicaen is based out of Fort Pyke near the Ghoul Stars.  It is unique in that it is formed entirely of Imperial Fist and Imperial Fist Successor Chapters.  This team has been together for a number of years now and has dealt with Eldar Pirates, Chaos Bands, Orks, and even the occasional foray into the Ghoul Stars.  Yes, it has a Black Shield in the list, but Caillte (which is Irish for Lost) is from the lost Crimson Axes chapter.  We'll keep his secret though.

So that's the Kill Team, yeah it's a bit pic heavy, but they're ready to join the ..... 400 to 500ish models that I have that need painting.  I gotta find a way to start beating down that backlog.  I think I've got as much unpainted as Neverness has never been opened.

9th Company

 So this time up is the 9th Company which is full of nice shooty devastator squads.  To keep the theme, it even has a devastator squad as the command squad.  And yes Cheef, that's two more Dreadnoughts to acquire.

9th Company, Reserve Devastator Company "Hammer Strikes"
    The 9th Company is another force that is deployed by squads to neighboring systems to aid in their defense.  The largest of these deployments is three squads to the Goedrean System Forge World.  This continued commitment has kept many a world loyal to the Emperor as well as foiled many xenos and heretic raids expecting easy prey.

    2 Dreadnoughts
    7 Rhinos
    3 Razorbacks

I also picked up recently the Deathwatch codex, the Deathwatch Kill Team Box, and the Deathwatch Captain box.  The leads us into the beginnings of a Kill Team that is operates out of Fort Pykman based on  location and my chapter's fluff in regards to the Ghoul Stars.  I really like the Deathwatch books.  It's some great fluff and really fills out that aspect of Space Marines that was really underdeveloped.  I really like the idea of the Blackshields as well.

So the Kill Team I'm working on will end up being an all Imperial Fist and successor chapter force.  It should be a fun force to assemble and fluff out.  So that's all we have for now and I'll see you all next time.
