{{stub}}'''Kill-Teams''' are the standard organizational unit of the [[Deathwatch]] [[Space Marine]]s. These Teams are organized to hunt down and kill [[Xenos]] and consist of [[Battle-Brother]]s from many different [[Chapter]]s.{{Fn|1}} The basic organizational structure of a Kill-Team consists of one [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] and between four and nine Deathwatch Marines. Deathwatch officers invariably choose their members of their Kill Team in order to draw on as much relevant experience as possible. With different [[Chapter]]s having long-standing specializations, it is easy to identify those who will have the most relevant insights in a given circumstance. Long-standing rivalries between certain chapter,s such as the [[Dark Angels]] and [[Space Wolves]], can effect the capabilities of Kill-Teams but more often than not members of these squads will eventually establish bonds of firm friendship.{{Fn|3}} ==Equipment==Their Team is most commonly armed with [[Bolter]]s and [[Heavy Bolter]]s equipped with [[Hellfire Round]]s, but [[Meltagun]], [[Flamer]]s, and [[Plasma Gun]]s are also known to be utilized. [[Librarians]] are known to sometimes attach themselves to Kill-Teams.{{Fn|2}}
