==Loyalist Variations==

The [[Dark Angels]]' 1st company is known as the [[Deathwing]] and is composed entirely of Terminator Squads. Unlike a traditional Codex Chapter, which distinguishes between Tactical and Assault roles, each Deathwing Terminator Squad is armed with a custom combination of heavy, close combat, or ranged weaponry, depending on the squad's role on the battlefield. Membership in the Deathwing also confers access to some of the chapter's most closely guarded secrets. There are no Veteran Squads in the Deathwing.{{Fn|6}} Deathwing Terminator Squads may arm their heavy weapon carriers with [[plasma cannon]]s, and they may be accompanied by a [[Watcher in the Dark]].
