ARMY RULES
From their hidden bases in orbiting watch fortresses, the Deathwatch dispatch carefully selected operatives to
hunt down and exterminate alien presences wherever they may be found. Each of these post-human warriors
is a veteran of countless battles, tithed by their original Chapter to undertake the Long Vigil and guard against
alien incursion.
KILL TEAMS
When faced with an array of missions to complete
and varying enemies to lay low, the Deathwatch are
highly adept at forming effective kill teams that mesh
starkly diverse armour and equipment.
FUROR TACTICS
When the enemy horde grows close, the Deathwatch
will be tasked with the decimation of their core.
Aiming not for clinical kills but for maximum
destruction over a wide area, they tear the heart from
the enemy army.
MALLEUS TACTICS
When the giants of war lumber forth, the Deathwatch
will adopt Malleus tactics. Even the largest behemoth
has a weak point, and the archives of the Deathwatch
number them all.
PURGATUS TACTICS
By adopting Purgatus tactics, the Deathwatch focus
their deadly ire upon the commanders of the enemy
host, assassinating them one after another with
pitiless head shots and killing thrusts of the blade.
Kraken rounds utilise adamantine cores Dragonfire rounds are designed to explode
and improved propellants to penetrate the just before contact, saturating foes in cover
