The Deathwatch has developed several distinct tactical deployments over its long history, developed over its wars against [[Xenos]]. These tactical methods are taught at every [[Watch Fortress]] and are used to determine the composition and armament of [[Kill-Team]]s.{{Fn|28b}}{{Fn|36c}}

*'''Aquila Tactics''' are generalist, versatile tactics. These are used when the exact nature of an enemy force is unknown, either because of a simple lack of opportunity to gather information or on an opponent or because the Deathwatch are facing a newly-discovered species or variety of xenos.{{Fn|36c}}
*'''Dominatus Tactics''' are designed to directly combat the most elite warriors of a xenos enemy, aiming to deny them a crucial resource.{{Fn|36c}}
*'''Furor Tactics''' involve the delivery of explosive firepower across a wide frontage. By concentrating on tightly-packed hordes of their foes, corpses of the enemy slow the advances of those behind.{{Fn|28b}} They were developed by [[Squad Veridium]] during the [[War of the Beast]] to combat hordes of [[Ork]]s, but have since been applied as anti-swarm tactics against many foes, most notably the [[Tyranid]]s.{{Fn|36c}}
