This doesn't mean you'll all get along ever after from that point; half the fun of Deathwatch is having these larger-than-life characters butting heads but still saving the day in the end. I'm certainly not going to be restricting the group from initiating squad mode for story reasons, i.e. "You're not getting along well enough so no squad mode for you", but I do like to have a synergy between roleplay and rollplay.
That'd be awesome!
I faintly remember something about oaths? If we're not a well coordinated kill-team, do we still elect a leader and give an oath?
By the way, I don't get the comic. Can someone explain it to me?
