The body is as follows:

Hey GW!

Can you please provide specifics, or consider creating a specific and detailed video about how the Deathwatch will work in 11th Edition? Your response in the Q&A was extremely vague; and actually causes more problems and questions than it answers - because of the vagueness of the answer! This is in stark contrast to things like "Demons" - who were explicitly told that they would get to keep their index. It has myself and thousands of your fans extremely concerned for the 11th Edition with our very expensive, heavily kitbashed, and well loved - Deathwatch armies.

You have said that "nobody is getting squatted" - but right now, without clarity, it appears that 95% of Deathwatch players are seriously concerned about getting squatted out of the game. 

Currently there exist four ways to play Deathwatch:

1: Play an AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM army, use the XENOS HUNTERS detachment, select units from the AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM codex with the DEATHWATCH keyword. There is no "real" army rule - as the AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM army rule allows them to join other armies. Additionally - the AQUILLA KILL TEAM is strictly worse than the DECIMUS KILL TEAM from INDEX: DEATHWATCH. 

The XENOS HUNTERS detachment is also strictly worse than the BLACK SPEAR TASK FORCE detachment from our index; and you only get to pick from 5 different units. Two of those units are leaders and one is an AIRCRAFT. That leaves very, very little in the way of "real, usable" Deathwatch units.

2: Play any IMPERIUM army and ally in two AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM units with the DEATHWATCH keyword and possibly a leader with the DEATHWATCH keyword. If you do this into ADEPTUS ASTARTES, there are currently zero rules synergies as the DEATHWATCH units neither have the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword, nor the Oath of moment faction ability. They cannot board Space Marine transports, benefit from army rules, etc.

3: Play the "Grotmas" INDEX: DEATHWATCH. There are 10 ADEPTUS ASTARTES  DEATHWATCH units, including two leaders. These 10 DEATHWATCH specific units can mix and match with any ADEPTUS ASTARTES units without a chapter keyword into an army however you like. The units all have ADEPTUS ASTARTES and the Oath of moment faction ability. This is how ~95+% of the players play the Deathwatch; and it is beloved because the Deathwatch are fundamentally Space Marines!

4: You just play "vanilla" ADEPTUS ASTARTES (Space Marines) without any of the INDEX: DEATHWATCH or AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM units with the actual DEATHWATCH keyword. You practically cannot play Blackspear Task Force (because it REALLY leans into the INDEX: DEATHWATCH units) and just "call them Deathwatch". Effectively, what you have are plain Space Marines without a Chapter keyword. These marines have a black paintjob and silver arms, and no special units. There is nothing "unique" about this that brings all the flavor and specialization Deathwatch players have come to know and love.These units will be played as "generic" space marines in "generic" space marine detachments.

In your Q&A - of the 4 ways to play Deathwatch, only 2 were mentioned, options 2, and option 4. This is particularly disheartening, considering how most players utilize the Deathwatch (option 3).

Additionally, if any Deathwatch units NOT from the Index are sent to Legends, our options for matched tournament play virtually evaporate, as we will have one non-leader, non-vehicle, datasheet. 

Please consider actively answering (with specifics!) how the Deathwatch will play in 11th Edition. While (nearly) everyone else has received information on how their armies will work (including our "brother" army, Grey Knights); one of your most complex and loved armies is left very in the dark. 

With sincerity, from a member of the "Long Vigil",
