Deathwatch Ideas for Codex

[Lyzaru]

Got bored so wrote up some quick ideas I had for deathwatch army codex. missing inquisitor stuff but that would just be a copy paste most likely from the grey knight codex.

***Warning Long Post***

Deathwatch Army Rules:

- And They Shall Know No Fear: As Core Rulebook.

- Combat Squads: As codex space marines.

- Special Ammo: All deathwatch marines may pick to use one of the following ammo types every time they fire one of the following weapons; Auto Cannon, Astartes Grenade Launcher, Astartes Shotgun, Boltgun, Bolt Pistol, Heavy Bolter, Stalker Boltgun, Stormbolter.

* Dragonfire: Range = unchanged, Str = unchanged, AP = unchanged, Type = as weapon + ignores cover.

* Kraken: Range = +6", Str = unchanged, AP = improves by 1, Type = as weapon.

* Hellfire: Range = unchanged, Str = X, AP = unchanged, Type = as weapon + poison (2+)

Example:
- Boltgun (Dragonfire): Range = 24", Str = 4, AP = 5, Type = Rapid Fire, Ignores Cover.
- Boltgun (Kraken): Range = 30", Str = 4, AP = 4, Type = Rapid Fire.
