A friend of mine has just finished a squad of Deathwatch Space Marines, and they are gorgeous models. We used them in a game recently and put them up against my Orks in an assassination scenario. The Kill team's objective was to teleport into an Ork settlement and find and eliminate a Deathskull warboss that has been building up forces for a WAAGGH! They did their job with deadly precision, cutting through my Orks like a razor. They landed right on target and easily cut down the few Ork mobs that approached them. The only tense moment was when the second Deathwatch fire team was attacked by a Killa Kan. The Ork machine killed one Deathwatch Marine with his huge saw blade, but was then turned to molten slag by a few well placed Krak grenades. Oh well, that's how it goes for the Orks. Even when they lose, they win because they can just come back for another go see.
Here are a few pics of the action.
