1850 Deathwing/Deathwatch List

[Chris Copeland]

Here is the 1850 point Deathwing/Deathwatch list I am considering. I'd use DA as my primary force and C:SM for my allies to represent the Deathwatch. Any comments and critiques are welcome... three units of Hammer Termies, one unit of Knights to come in with Belial, one unit of Deathwatch with a Librarian coming in in a drop pod, and one unit of Deathwatch Centurions backed up by a DA Librarian...

Which Chapter Tactics would you use?

Ultramarines or Imperial Fists come to mind.

I'm thinking that I should use Imperial Fist Chapter Tactics for the Deathwatch tactical Marines. That way, when they pop out of their droppod their shooting will be extra deadly. Also, both Librarians will use "prescience" so that they'll hit more often. The DA Librarian that will be with Centurions is carrying a powerfield generator to give them a 4+ invul save so they'll be harder to kill than termies. I'm wondering if I should find some points to give HIM a set of Termie armor (since he appears to be the weak link in that unit).
