Mikey Herbert 1

Mikey’s Deathwatch won the Golden Ticket Event led by a Watch Master and Captain, while the Librarian provides psychic support.

Battleline then brings in 30 Deathwatch Veterans for the go-to troops for both melee (T Hammers) and ranged special weapons.

Mikey Herbert 2

From there he had a Desolation squad, which has fantastic heavy-ranged weapons to target down armored threats.

Mikey Herbert 3

A single Hellblaster Squad brings in solid plasma to take out lightly armored bodies like other space marines.

2 Inceptors bring in a hint of mobility, and an Infiltrator squad adds a few cheaper bodies with decent ranged weapons.

Mikey Herbert 4

The list closes out on 2 Land Speeders for some solid mobility and relatively cheap too! Deathwatch overall gets tons of re-rolls coupled with all these options, and it’s no surprise they are starting to do well in the meta.
