===Cons=== *Low model count - Just like the Grey Knights and Adeptus Custodes, each model is extremely expensive, even when compared to other Space Marine chapters, without gaining much by way of added durability. *There are some oddities with loadouts and conversions when compared to the Vanilla Marines. **To clarify, you aren't able to take many of the vehicles that other marines are capable of taking, such as Predators or Vindicators, and [[FAIL|You can't take Veterans armed with Lascannons, Grav Cannons, Plasma Cannons or Multi-Meltas]] *You're still Space Marines, and are still vulnerable to anything they struggle against, especially when it comes to non-xenos armies. *If you're not keen on Forge World models or Primaris Marines, you'll need some allies to patch the miles-wide hole in your long-range shooting game. *Having a squad where every single model has a different equipment loadout can make for slow play despite the low model count as each weapon is resolved individually, to say nothing of keeping track of how their rules interact with each other. Not recommended for beginners who need to constantly refer to datasheets. *If you're lucky, 4 of your Stratagems will be meaningless. If you're unlucky? 5. *This is not a beginner army by any means, mastery of the Deathwatch will take time and a lot of trial and error. Knowing which Mission Tactic to use and how to set up your squads is crucial to success. *No regular apothecaries - only Primaris ones can be fielded. In addition, there are no Techpriests in your army, meaning you have no way of healing your vehicle units. *Unless you take some Primaris units or Forge World, your anti-armor capabilities leave much to be desired. *Hope you enjoy watching GW give all the other marines that can take Primaris the new and shiny Vanguard Marines, especially infuriating as Vanguard Marines essentially ARE Deathwatch in spirit (small sneaky well-equipped squads that are used as the scalpel to the normal marines’ sword.)
