Does anyone play DEATHWATCH?

Probably the least played FFG 40k RPG I've seen. I'd really like to get into a game. One day, I hope to run a game of players consisting of the same chapter (and thus, probably don't need to be in Deathwatch, and could even use some Only War-style narration and adventures with tweaks), or even the former but with the caveat of the entire team of PCs being Scouts, and roleplay the first time they are inducted into the chapter proper! I'd really like to -play- in a 40k Deathwatch, though, because IRL my friends aren't as knowledgeable about the world, and I end up being the de-facto GM.
I have only played it once, and I liked it.  I did not so much enjoy investigations.
Would love to try Deathwatch. One of the few 40k games I've not tried.
I've played it before. The thing about Deathwatch is it's really easy to make encounters a cakewalk or a nightmare on Earth. But again, even initiate marines have the OP weapon that is the cryo grenade. BUT- I would give it a try. Note that you need to tune the encounter level down. While the scout carapace armor is pretty decent, it is not power armor and does not have the kind of stat bonus and protection the power armor gives. While a squad of space marines can take on a hive tyrant and a few warriors, a squad of scouts would be utterly obliterated.
It doesn't have to be scouts. I'd just like to play it.
