Alpha Legion: Rules X.1 - Deathwatch

Special rules post! The Deathwatch (DW) now have their own codex, and as mentioned in previous posts, they do feel like the right embodiment of the specialists I am searching for. Their troops are veterans, and everyone gets special ammunition, which now applies to more (and better) weapons! I'll go through the parts of the rules that I have covered for Space Marines and Chaos Marines already so that by the next rules installment, the Deathwatch will be caught up and I can add them to the rotation. As a reminder, I am looking at these from the perspective of creating a gun line list, though the DW do have some decent melee potential as well.

Alpha Legion: Rules 4 - Warlord Trait

The idea of singling out one model as the leader of my band of ruthless infiltrators, saboteurs, and assassins makes me slightly uncomfortable. They are supposed to be faceless and nameless, acting as a single unit, with no ability to break the line of command. In 8th edition however, as in editions before it, one model must be nominated to be the warlord since there are objectives opponents can score for such things. Plus, they get extra abilities, so a warlord I will choose.
