2 Questions about Deathwatch

By H16HP01N7, in Deathwatch

1: when is it actually out (or more importantly, when is it available in OCP/PDF), just take into account that i live in the UK, so can I have the UK date of release please

2: what are the Homeworld and Career options in the game?

It is out already!

There are places in the UK - such as Leisure Games where I got mine - where it is available right now. Mine shipped today!



There are no 'Homeworlds' as such, instead you have your Chapter of Origin - Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Black Templars and Storm Wardens. Careers are referred to as 'Specialities', and you have several - Apothecary, Assault Marine, Devastator Marine, Librarian, Tactical Marine, Tech-Marine.

Hope that helps!

So theres no way of designing your own chapter, dammit, that was half the reason I wanted to get DW. As 4 the careers, they're pretty much what I expected from the game.

Im in the process of designing a game 4 my group (3 players + me) and wanted all the main rulebooks 4 the 3 systems b4 i decided what game 2 run.

there will be rules for designing your own chapters in a later release, though i can't remember the name of said book right now.

found it, Rites of Battle

They say in the book that with the GMs approval you can make your own chapters. So no reason you can't do it.

what id do is take the ultramarine template, but change the demeanour and special chapter ability. that at least would give you a good codex chapter, with more tweaking required for the more unique ones

All the 40K RPG's work on the basis of extrapolation. Once the base-line is said it's never that hard to extrapolate outwards what you might get if, say, you played Flesh Tearers rather than Blood Angels, or Imperial Fists rather than Ultramarines.
