    Default Deathwatch -- A Space Marine Homebrew Supplement 40K

    Author’s Note: This homebrew codex was created as a result of several other gamers not only looking to finally play a Deathwatch supplement in games of 40K, but to also have something that could compare to the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Malleus, ie Grey Knights. I took a great deal of material from the Deathwatch RPG books and a few other places. This thread will be continually updated and added to as the codex is further expanded. If anyone has any extra ideas or constructive criticism, please feel free to post it below. And, as usual, happy wargaming.








    “Amongst a hundred men, there may be none fit for the Adeptus Astartes. Amongst a hundred Space Marines, there may be one fit for the Deathwatch.”
    - Watch Captain Brand


    The Deathwatch is an ancient organization, created to combat the most vile and horrid of abominations that lurk beyond the Emperor’s Light. Whereas the Grey Knights defend humanity from itself and the daemon, where the Chapters of the Space Marines defend the Imperium of Man against all threats and helped by the Imperial Guard, to the Deathwatch goes the unsung glory of reaching out beyond the realm of Men to find, identify, and destroy alien threats the like of which no mortal man has ever seen. Even normal Astartes would likely feel some unease at being faced by the faceless horrors of the beyond, but it is no normal initiates or Space Marines that make up the Deathwatch.

    To become a Deathwatch is to join a brotherhood that is largely invisible to the greater Imperium. Where songs are sung of the heroism of the Blood Angels or Ultramarines, no such glories or laurels are given unto the Deathwatch. It is a burden that the veterans of the Deathwatch willingly accept – for otherwise the minds of mortal men might break beneath the strain of knowing just what exactly is waiting for them in the outer darkness. And they are veterans, every one of them. Heroes in their own chapters or veterans of renown, they have accepted the oath sworn by their forbearers to supply veteran Space Marines with experience facing xenos scum to the Ordo Xenos.

    The Deathwatch act as the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, an elite force equipped and trained to deal with the greatest threats that the galaxy has never known. For that is their mission: to find the alien and destroy them utterly. No trace may be allowed to remain or survivors left. If Mankind is to prosper within the galaxy and command it as is His right, then the threats from beyond those borders must be proactively sought out and destroyed. That is the mandate of the Deathwatch and few can dispute their effectiveness.

    Deathwatch Watch Commander [200 Points]
    The Watch Commanders of the Deathwatch are amongst the most experienced Space Marine xenos-fighters in the entire galaxy. Prior to their joining, a Watch Commander is likely to have achieved the rank of Captain, and some have even served as Chapter Masters. Many who take up the mantle of Watch Commander do so in the knowledge that they may never return to their parent Chapter again, such is the vital and heavy burden of their rank. For only a Watch Commander has the power that no other Astartes has: Exterminatus Extremis

    Watcher of the Dark: Few have stared into the depths of the abyss as much as this warrior. None know its forms and patterns as well as he and his brethren. When a model from a Xenos army is in close combat and in base-to-base contact with a model with this special rule, before any blows are struck, count their initiative as being one less than normal (-1), to a minimum of 1.

    Know Thy Enemy: One of the oldest dictates of warfare, this maxim is taken to heart and made instinct to the minds of those that serve the Deathwatch. If you take a model with this special rule in your army, and are playing against a Xenos army, you may take first turn even if you deploy second. You may also choose whether or not to have Night Fighting, there is no need to roll. The enemy army may still attempt to Seize the Initiative.

    Sanction Extremis: Only a Watch Commander of the Deathwatch by provision of the Inquisition may command such power. A model with this special rule has the following special attack. This special attack may be used three times per game and is used in lieu of a normal shooting attack:

    Exterminatus
    Range: Infinite
    Strength: 10
    AP: 1
    Type: Ordnance D3, Barrage, Armourbane, Fleshbane, Pinning, World Ender*

    *Any enemy non-vehicle unit that is not Fearless must take a leadership test if they suffer at least one unsaved wound from an attack with this special rule. The unit can only successfully pass the test using Heroic Morale. This test is taken in addition to the Pinning Test.

    Deathwatch Watch Captain [180 Points]
    Watch Captains are battle-brothers that have served in the ranks of the Kill-Teams with great distinction, and have undertaken multiple tours of duty with the Deathwatch. It is not uncommon for especially skilled battle-brothers to be called to serve many times, and at some point, such veteran alien-hunters are afforded the honor of assuming the rank of Watch Captain.

    Deathwatch Lexicanum [120 Points]
    The power of the warp is a psyker’s gift and curse. Few are trained as arduously or carefully as an Adeptus Astartes Librarian. The first step along the path of selection is that of Lexicanum, battle-brothers who serve the Chapter with both bolter and the mind.

    Deathwatch Chaplain [150 Points]
    Chaplains are normally those appointed to minister to the spiritual wellbeing of their brother Space Marines. As befits the spiritual leaders of such mighty warriors in battle, Chaplains lead from the front as awe-inspiring warrior priests, fighting wherever the fight is fiercest and praising the Emperor through the destruction of His enemies. Where a Chaplain’s hatred for the enemies of mankind is normally fierce, those that serve the Deathwatch have reached new depths of fury in the face of the abominations discovered and faced.

    • Hatred Incarnate


    Hatred Incarnate: An endless well of hatred for the foes of Mankind that inspires insane acts of self-sacrifice in an effort to overcome star-spanning evils. A model with this special rule, when in close combat against a Xenos enemy model or models, re-rolls all failed To Hit rolls during all rounds of each close combat. This rule does not benefit the squad that this model is in. However, if the model with this special rule is in close combat against a non-Xenos enemy model or models, Hatred Incarnate is reduced to the normal Hatred special rule.

    Deathwatch Kill-Team [100 Points]

    ELITES

    Deathwatch Dreadnought [150 Points]
    Rare as it is for a Space Marine to be revered enough to become an Old One it is rarer still for a member of the Deathwatch to achieve the same honor. Those thusly chosen serve the Deathwatch in perpetuity, forever aiding his battle-brothers with sage advice and tactical knowledge unsurpassed. Truly they earn the title of Old One.
    WS: 5 BS: 5 S: 6 Armour: F-13, S-12, R-12 I: 5 A: 3 HP: 4
    Unit Type: Vehicle (Character, Walker)

    • Twin-linked Multi-Melta

    • Artificer Plate


    Special Rules:
    • Knowledge of the Old Ones
    • Preferred Enemy (Xenos)
    • Monster Hunter (Xenos)
    • Hatred (Xenos)


    Artificer Plate Paid for in full by the Inquisition, the best Mechanicum artificers outfit the Old Ones of the Deathwatch with armor and archeotech protections that only such venerated Astartes are worthy of possessing. A model with this wargear has a 5+ Invulnerable save against shooting attacks, which increases to a 4+ Invulnerable save against attacks suffered in close combat. This wargear also gives the dreadnought on additional Hull Point (already included in profile). This vehicle also reduces any rolls against it on the Vehicle Damage Chart by -1, to a minimum of one.

    Knowledge of the Old Ones: Only a fool ignores the strategic advice of a warrior that has fought the enemies of Mankind for millenia. If a model with this special rule is included in your Army, after deployment but before the first turn, you may re-deploy this model and D3 other units -- including putting them into Reserves or taking them out of Reserves.

    Deathwatch Black Shield [75 Points]
    Among the ranks of the Deathwatch there are warriors that bear no Chapter mark. Where others proudly display their Chapter's heraldry, these warriors show only featureless black, marking them as Black Shields. A Black Shield is a Space Marine without a Chapter, an individual that has either severed himself from the very things that define him as a battle-brother, or was forcefully severed from his Chapter heritage. Either way, these warriors seek atonement for unknowable pasts.

    WS: 5 BS: 5 S: 4 T: 4 W: 2 I: 5 A: 3 Ld: 10 Sv: 3+
    Unit Type: Infantry (Character)
    Unit Composition: 1-3 Deathwatch Black Shields may be taken as a single Elites choice for the army. Each may be deployed separately during deployment. (Unique)

    Wargear:
    • Frag Grenades
    • Krak Grenades
    • Bolt Gun
    • Bolt Pistol
    • Power Armour
    • Power Weapon


    Special Rules:
    • Bereft of Brotherhood
    • Fearless
    • Fear
    • Adamantium Will
    • Watcher of the Dark
    • Preferred Enemy (Xenos)
    • Monster Hunter (Xenos)
    • Path of Redemption


    Bereft of Brotherhood: Whether on or off the battlefield, these Black Shields are solitary figures who do not seek the company of others and actively shun any such attempts at bonds of brotherhood. A model with this special rule can never join another unit nor can any other unit or Independent Character join him to form a unit.

    Path of Redemption: For reasons known only to him, a Black Shield constantly seeks to regain honor by fulfilling particularly hard missions or objectives upon the field of battle. Few understand why a Black Shield does this and fewer still understand how much they never want to understand. A model with this special rule must choose one of the following Paths of Redemption during deployment before the game begins. Write down and inform your opponent of which Path of Redemption each Black Shield in your army has taken.

    Path of the Exile: For failing either his Chapter or perhaps believing himself too shamed to remain among his brothers, this Black Shield goes into battle with an inner fire to reclaim his honor and will not stop until he achieves it. A model with this Path of Redemption gains the It Will Not Die (4+) special rule and all attacks made by this model, shooting and close combat, has the Soul Blaze special rule.

    Path of the Survivor: No greater tragedy can beset a Space Marine other than the loss of all that is his Chapter. Either because his Chapter was destroyed in battle or lost due to some misfortune, this Black Shield is the last of his Chapter. This makes him all the more deadly, for he desires to burn a path through the Emperor’s enemies in vengeance. A model with this Path of Redemption gains the Eternal Warrior special rule and Feel No Pain special rule.

    Path of the Forsaken: Only the Watch Commander knows of this Black Shield’s past. All that his fellow Deathwatch brothers know is that few can match his fury in battle. A model with this Path of Redemption gains the Rampage special rule and the Furious Charge special rule.

    Options:
    • May take items from the Deathwatch Special Issue Ammunition Wargear List, Deathwatch Ranged Weapons List, Deathwatch Melee Weapons List, Deathwatch Special Weapons List, and/or Special Issue Wargear lists.

    Deathwatch Special Weapons List

    • Plasma Gun................................10 pts
    • Melta Gun.................................5 pts
    • Flamer....................................1 pt
    • Grav Gun..................................10 pts
    • Astartes Grenade Launcher.................1 pt


    Deathwatch Relic Weapons List
    A model may replace his boltgun and/or Melee weapon with one of the following:
    • Sacris Claymore...........................20 pts
    • Deathwatch Relic Blade....................30 pts
    • Skapulan Bolter...........................25 pts


    Sacris Claymore: Forged by the Storm Wardens Chapter, a Chapter with close ties to the Deathwatch, these weapons have become popular choices among those fortunate enough to be allowed to wield them in battle. A Sacris Claymore is a Melee weapon with the following two profiles:
    Range: - S: +1 AP: 3 Type: Melee, Specialist Weapon, Concussive
    Range: 6" S: 5 AP: 3 Type: Assault 1

    Deathwatch Relic Blade: A standard power sword is no better than a flimsy metal spike in a power field. A Deathwatch Relic Blade is the epitome of melee weaponry, many within the armories of the Chapter having been passed down since the Horus Heresy. A Deathwatch Relic blade is a Melee weapon with the following profile:
    Range: - S: +2 AP: 3 Type: Melee, Biting Aura*

    *The power field quality of this weapon is such that it is capable of overpowering other power fields. If a model suffers an unsaved wound from a weapon with this special rule, it loses it's ability to make any invulnerable save, regardless of the source of the invulnerable save. It may no longer be used for the remainder of the game.

    Skapulan Bolter: Taken from the Jericho Reach, the last relic of an ancient Watch Station, this boltgun has stunned and amazed every Techmarine fortunate enough to examine the advanced and holy weapon. Prevailing theory believe it to have been wielded by an ancient hero of the Imperium, perhaps during the Great Crusade. The Skapulan Bolter is a boltgun with the following profile:
    Range: 24" S: 5 AP: 4 Type: Salvo 4/6, Rending, Master-Crafted


    Deathwatch Chapter Specific Wargear List
    A model with the Character Type may take up to one of the following and only if it matches the painted model's assigned Chapter allegiance. A model bearing the emblem of a Blood Angel may not wield a Chapter Specific piece of wargear that belongs to the Black Templars Chapter, and vice versa.

    • Devotion Chain (Black Templars, Imperial Fists)..........................10 pts per model
    • Tabard (Black Templar, Dark Angels, Imperial Fists)......5 pts per model
    • Blood Drop Pendant (Blood Angels, Flesh Tearers).........15 pts per model
    • Golden Icon of Baal (Blood Angels, Flesh Tearers)........10 pts per model
    • Ceremonial Sword (Dark Angels)...........................5 pts per model
    • Wolf Pelt (Space Wolves).................................10 pts per model
    • Runic Totem (Space Wolves)...............................15 pts per model
    • Tempest Amulet (Storm Wardens, White Scars)..............10 pts per model
    • Heraldry Scroll (Ultrmarines)............................15 pts per model
    • Medusan Data Coil (Iron Hands)...........................15 pts per model
    • Ignean Lode Stone (Salamanders)..........................5 pts per model


    Devortion Chain: Black Templars frequently wrap sections of their armor with chains or bind their weapons to themselves to symbolize that they are unendingly bound to war against the Emperor's enemies. This constant reminder of a Black Templar's vows steel his resolve. A model with this may add +1 to their Deny The Witch roll. Any unit he is attached to does not benefit from this increase.

    Tabard: Worn by many chapters, many of these bear personal, Deathwatch, Chapter, or even squad-specific heraldry. A model with this may, once per game, re-roll a failed Leadership test.

    Blood Drop Pendant: A smaller ornament that represents the Blood Angel's Chapter symbol and the blood of Sanguinius that runs through their collective veins. Some are literally filled with a battle-brother's own previous blood. They are most often, but not always, worn around the neck. A model with this may choose to have the Red Thirst (see Blood Angels codex).

    Golden Icon of Baal: A small, gilded icon that is hung from the armour or belt of a Blood Angel. They are constant reminder of duty, devotion, and of their homeworld. A model with this may add +1 to all Sweeping Advance rolls.

    Ceremonial Sword: Dark Angels frequently carry swords with winged hilts in echo of their Chapter symbol. These weaons are used more in ceremony than in combat, but they are perfectly functional weapons should the battle-brother have a reason to draw one. If a model with a Ceremonial Sword is in a close combat Challenge, once per game they may choose to have all of their close combat attack automatically hit for one round of that close combat.

    Wolf Pelt: Fenrisian wolves are renowned across the galaxy for their viciousness. They are respected creatures, and greatly entwined with Space Wolf beliefs. Unarmed hunting rituals exist on Fenris to prove a warrior's prowess. Should a battle-brother succeed on such a hunt, he typically displays the pelt of the animal thereafter. A model with this gains the Counter-Attack special rule.

    Runic Totem: Space Wolves are considered to be a supersitious lot, due in large part to the mysticism and beliefs at the heart of Fenrisian culture. Rune Priests are a great part of this tradition, often creating and bestowing talismans to battle-brothers in order to aid them in battle. A model with this may increase their invulnerable save by 1, to a maximum of +2. This means that if the model did not already have an invulnerable save, that they gain one of 6+.

    Tempest Amulet: The native traditions of Sacris, the homeworld of the Storm Wardens, places great emphasis on the ability of an individual to affect change in the world through strength of arm and force of will. A model with this may re-roll all failed Characteristic tests that they are called upon to take, such as Strength, Toughness, or Initiative tests.

    Heraldry Scroll: Scrolls worked into a battle-brothers armour, either as metalwork or a placard are popular in many chapters, and the Ultramarines are no exception. This crest may display a motto or title, but most commonly it bears the Ultrmarine's name, so that his enemies know who brings their deaths. A model with this may re-roll failed armour saves in the first round of each close combat.

    Medusan Data Coil: No Chapter in the history of the Imperium has devoted more to the Machine God than the Iron Hands. The amount of knowledge and data they have gathered upon the workings of the Machine Spirits is enough to make even the Mechanicum nervous. A model with this may add +1 when rolling a D6 for Blessing of the Omnissiah. If the model that has this did not already have the Blessing of the Omnissiah special rule, they then gain it, but may only be successful on a 6+.

    Ignean Lode Stone: Fire burns brightest on Nocturne, or so legends say. Most Salamanders choose to take a small reminder of their homeworld, such as a forged ingot of Ignean ore. As the fire of a forge shaped the ingot, so too does the fire of the Promethean Creed shape and forge the Salamander. A model with this may re-roll failed armour saves against all flamer attacks.
