Codex Supplement: Deathwatch

The Deathwatch is a Space Marines Chapter spread across space, which represents the Imperium's best weapon against the protean threat of a thousand and one xeno species. Based on orbital watchtower fortresses, Deathwatch dispatches hand-picked agents to track down and exterminate any extraterrestrial presence as soon as it is reported. His posthuman warriors are all veterans detached from their original Chapter as tithing to ensure the Long Vigil in deathwatch, in the face of any incursion. Only the most seasoned xeno hunters are given such an honour, and among their new battle brothers, they learn tactics and strategies appropriate to eradicate various engeances. The Deathwatch is an elite force with several types of specialized ammunition, unusual weapons and secret equipment designed to better fight its teeming enemies. Its exterminators in black armor are filled with righteous hatred for all matters related to xeno, and will not rest until the Galaxy has been purged of any extraterrestrial defilement.
