 So with the main Northern Invasion tournament over and done with, we moved on to the 1000 point fun tournament, and I decided to go something a little different. Enter the Deathwatch. 

This army had one simple core to it, Boxnoughts. Yep, I have three old skool Boxnoughts, and I wanted to run them. No they are not very good but I don't care, it's supposed to be a fun little tournament. So once I had the there Boxnoughts, I added some troops and transports and filled out the rest of the points some allies;

6x Voidsmen-at-Arms - 1x Artificer shotgun, 5x Close combat weapon 4x Lasgun, 4x Laspistol, 1x Voidsman rotor cannon, 1x Canid

So, the plan is pretty simple, Boxnoughts trundle forward shooting and punching stuff, while the rhinos with the vets flank. The Rogue trader and voidsmen hold the home objective. I was not aiming for anything other than having fun and throwing the Boxnoughts in to as many scraps as I could. I could have taken a lot more powerful list, including a baneblade and guardsmen or knight and admech lists, but I haven't played with the Boxnoughts yet and I feel that their time (and the Deathwatch vets) is limited. 

As it happened, things went rather well!
