As a Space Marine, you have already faced, and defeated, countless numbers of the Emperor’s foes. You have taken part in planet strikes, descending in drop pods upon columns of fire, and brought the Emperor’s justice to the unclean. You have boarded haunted space hulks and purged with bolt and flame the slavering creatures lurking within. You have descended into the very bowels of the mightiest of hive cities, and emerged victorious over the ultra-violent forces of recidivism and heresy.
However, all of that was just the beginning. In the Deathwatch, the true horrors that seethe and gibber and hunger to devour the soul of Mankind await you. Only the very strongest are selected. Only those most blessed in the eyes of the Emperor prevail.
Serving the Deathwatch, you will face untold enemies. Some you have already met in battle and defeated many times over. The barbarous Ork, the perfidious Eldar, and the ravening Tyranids all await you, in greater numbers than ever before. Other vile xenos must also be faced, creatures not yet named in the annals of the Imperium. You must take the battle for survival into the unknown regions of space and root out the vile taint of the alien, before it can spread and infect the entire galaxy.
Other enemies wait too, for truly, the foes of Mankind never tire. The servants of the Ruinous Powers plot the downfall of the Imperium, and you must face perhaps the most terrible of enemies—the Traitor Legions, your own kin who turned against the Emperor at the very dawn of the Age of Imperium.
To enter the Deathwatch is to take the most binding of oaths. Of what you see, what you kill, you may never tell, except to those who you fight alongside. Your victories will go unheralded, your deeds unknown, and your name unrecorded save in the sealed archives of the mysterious Ordo Xenos. But the Deathwatch crave not glory; they desire only to serve, and to keep the darkness that hungers for the soul of Man at bay, to cast it into the night, never to return.
You are Deathwatch.
You are the right hand of the Emperor, and none may stand before you.
Deathwatch has six Specialities: Apothecary, Assault Marine, Devastator Marine, Librarian, Tactical Marine, and Techmarine. Only one Apothecary, Librarian and Techmarine will be allowed in any given "Kill Team". These will be placed on a first come first served basis.
The Rules are simple.
Firstly:
The actions of your character will be based on a,
Description - Reaction - Outcome
basis. For example
"Character" Jumps down onto the ledge below and clicking his bolter to full auto opens fire on the three Eldar senteries.....
*NOT*"Character" Jumps down onto the ledge below and clicking his bolter to full auto opens fire on the three Eldar senteries blowing the heads of the first two and eviserating the third.
Knowing you can do no wrong will make your experiance less enjoyable and it will quickly become boring. As the Narrator it is my job to describe what is happening around you ie:
The first two Eldar are cut down but the third dives for cover and returns fire.
The reason for this is that although you know 'you' can dodge, parry or take cover, your enemy can also!! and that is out of your controll.
Hopfully this will enhance your game. Do you take the hit? If so how bad is it? Do they? Do you dodge the snipers shot? Do they parry your chainsword? Does your bolter jam at a vital time? (( any TT players will remember THOSE rolls ))
Secondly:
Any OOC (Out Of Character) diologue, please put into spoilers. These are usually questions 'you' as a player may have.
Spoiler
This will keep the action flowing and make it easier for players to follow the storyline. Also it helps keep this thread clear of any none storyline related info.
So rules laid out.... Still interested!? please PM me your:
Character name
Chapter
Class
Wargear *You may change this after your mission briefing should you deside you need something different or extra.*
Assume any grenades you carry will last the mission unless stated otherwise by Narrator.
I shall inform those individuals when they are to report to the mission briefing room.
For more infomation, or if anything is unclear, please feel free to PM me also.
Good Luck Brothers and may the Emperor guide you.....
