"Don't ask why kill the alien? Ask why not?" Literally the Deathwatch
For me, the Deathwatch asks how best to kill the alien.
"They use illegal weapons" sounds like the deathwatch was started by the bloody magpies or somethin
Those were Imperial Fists
To be fair, Codicier Natorian is from the magpies...
Dam, the magpies even stole the dark angel's illegal weapons.
funny that in dawn of war 3 the death watch are your space marine heroic unit
@@matttan8066 makes sence, by lore chosen to be in deathwatch first had to show in battle (mostly more than one) that they have efficency against xenos above regular, so they are at least battle-harden veterans
"Throw a fucking vortex grenade at it, it works most of the time!" Words to live by, Arthur.
Deathwatch apothecaries are aware of every gene flaw in every chapter, and are also sworn to secrecy to not disclose the flaws.
That must make them one of the most anxious people in teh Galaxy.
Imagine having served in the Deathwatch, returning to your chapter then finding out you'll be serving alongside the Flesh Tearers. Brothers i'm not able to divulge secrets but if they start acting strange then just give them some space. Like maybe leave the planet.
@@gerardmontgomery280 “just no one mention any Egyptian mythology around them. Also, hair is now mandatory.”
Not every, but yeah. They bear a lot of info on them
@@vincentcrow6075 I got one other question, do you think a fallen dark Angel could’ve been in the Deathwatch at some point?
My favorite Deathwatch character is Chyron, a Dreadnaught from the Lamenters. He (incorrectly) believes he is the last Lamenter is existence and is thus incredibly pissed off as a result.
In all fairness, he *was* the last Lamenter for a good while before Belisarius rocked up with his primaris.
Remember kids: It's not alien adjacent once you've stuck it into an alien.
Is this a Rowboat Girlyman and Yvraine joke?!
@@dr.bright3081 No, he was showing their knives while saying their tech was alien-adjacent.
@@RorikH yeah… I was making a joke about the whole Guilleman and Yvraine situation
@@dr.bright3081 Oh. Your joke was phrased as a question. My apologies.
And may the emperor bless them for it
🙏🙏🙏
I really enjoy that they get to keep their pauldron after they leave too. A veteran back in their home chapter, rocking the pauldron on the right ride is super dope.
Except for the space wolves. While it shows you are a badass in the chapter it also shows that you are a weirdo who hangs out with the Ultramarines, the Blood Ravens and Russ forbid, the Dark Angels.
"Who am I to judge where they get their weapons from as long as they kill aliens with it!"
-Blood Ravens: "You're goddamn right..."
Right before all their shit goes missing by said Blood Ravens!
@@dr.bright3081Arthur ends up as a Chapter Sef since they steal him as well. They do have manpower issues still
"Guys please we just want to summon Ynnead so we can weaken Slaanesh"
"Sounds like a xenos problem to me."
- A paraphrased convo between the Eldar and the Deathwatch that actually happened.
You know from the perspective of a Space marine, that could be a trick of a Xeno species to summon a "god" that could destroy the entire imperium instead of Slaanesh, but that Chaos falling's stuff was not so loyal to say
@@jossguerrero277 the current imperial regent got resurrected by Yvraine.
They also have the best killteam, fight me
I agree but someone will come along and go on about Intercession...
I mean yeah they have a gigantic amount of customisation. I still like intercession squad (mmm free rules) a lot but yeah.
This is a fact.
I relly like the Deathwatch, I think just the idea of having so many different traditions of different chapters, coupled with the relative freedom of doing as they like so long as it gets the job done, can lead to some really interesting interactions.
One of my favorite fan fics was about a Black Templar who had to hide his psychic abilities from his brothers until he joined the deathwatch. He ended up dying to defeat a bloodletter, but his brothers memorialized him all the same, never knowing he was a psycher.
@@soffrenThe amount of betrayal theyd feel. Theyd feel like they had a traitor among them the entire time 😂
For many chapters it's a matter of pride to have members transferred to the Deathwatch. The Ultramarines or the Salamanders would throw a party for that. For other chapters, that's a way to send away space marines who they don't like.
@@soffrenwhats the name??
@@Appropriatenamenumbervalid I wish I could remember 😭
the Deathwatch RPG pretty much makes you a team of Arnolds hunting the aliens
I love reading peoples adventure logs. Really wish I had invested in that instead of Dark Heresy.
Where do you find the adventure logs?
The fact that the space sharks hate elves makes me love them even more I am so happy I got my tyberos model
“They use illegal weapons”
**smiles in Dark Angel**
"...bugs, mushrooms, and old people..." 🤣
The deathwatch were formed 2000yrs after the Horus heresy because the orks brought the entire Imperium to its knees. We're talking an ork version of the death star teleporting above Terra. The Imperial Fists chapter getting wiped out to a man, a loyalist primarch (spoilers) getting killed by a mega-ork. The Imperium was so unprepared that in the aftermath, the grand master of assassins killed all high lords of terra, and the inquisition formalised the deathwatch formations made up of survivors from various marine chapters.
I LOVE the single arm being silver. I love that the shoulders hold the icons of chapters, and I love the mix of so many perspectives and diversity of chapters. Love these guys so much.
Necron: Hippity Hoppity, Get off my property!!!
Deathwatch: No. You.
I always fancied the idea of running Deathwatch and naming, backstorying, etc each and every individual character, their tensions and friendships with other chapters within their battle brothers, etc.
GW finally put a Deathwatch captain onsale, perfect time to get some.
I can't believe captain Titus didn't end up in deathwatch.
It's been 100s of years in universe between games so for all we know he did
@@mementomori771 He should have Deathwatch Veterans Shoulder Pad if he served in Deathwatch
That was a huge miss oportunity to show more of the WH 40k lore into videogames, I would love to watch more chapters interacting with each other
Looks like you predicted the future
This aged well lol
The underrated group compared to the Grey knights Sisters of silence and Custodes while being one of the most interesting concepts and imho kinda better then some of the latter with how different the brothers can be while fighting crazy Xenos instead of deamons a Deathwatch book would be fucking LIT ngl
Shadow Breaker by Steve Parker, it’s awesome, 16 hr audio book, and it’s all DW, fighting tau, kroot, Genestealers, aaaand more!! I’ll stop there not to spoil anything
Deathwatch is a great setting and premise for a show.
I think they felt special in earlier editions where you could take one kill team as a sort off super Vanguard squad they felt special but now they just feel like another chapter with some funky lore.
I like how they're elite. Not from being litteraly build different like grey knights but by being veterans of minimum 50 years
Deathwatch is my favorite faction in all of WH40k. I’ve dove deep into the lore of all the universe but I always come back to Deathwatch. Just something about elite task forces comprised of different chapters and personalities on suicide missions where anything goes to accomplish the task that is freakin badass to me.
Hot damn, kroot servo skull looks amazing
Now I can't speak in terms of the Tabletop for any of this stuff, but I tell you what, playing with all this stuff in a TTRPG setting is insane, The Deathwatch get absolutely batshit tier equipment, that said, they have to deal with issues that very much warrant the use of it. But a very cool chapter nonetheless
I fell in love with Deathwatch purely because of the conversion potential
Not only can you have any sort of customization on literally any model you own, but you can just convert marines from other ranges
Want a Chaplain with a wierd loadout? Just do a pauldron swap on one of the chapter specific versions
Want
Literally why I love the Deathwatch
i don't play deathwatch myself but the deathwatch combat patrol was a great way to break up the monotony of painting the same green space marines all the time for my dark angels. cause aside from their specific units you can always just make some deathwatch with the heraldry of your chapter of choice for a bit of variety in your army
Good video. It can be noted that DeathWatch can potentially have chaos specialists in kill teams with members of certain chapters such as the Exorcists, the Red Hunter and the White Consuls for example.
*XENOPHOBIA INCREASES*
The Deathwatch will always be synonymous with the Frag Cannon for me. Absolutely busted weapon. My Tau gun line WAS LITERALLY OUTSHOT by the Deathwatch squads with them. Still salty years later.
lol what?! Seriously?! That’s legit a thing for the table top?!
Man… I need to get involved in the table top game.
“Uuuh, hi, I’m Arthur”
Aah, this makes my dad
Worldeaters' successor video is going to slap.
no Blackshields where harmed in the making of this video - signed Dark Angels
Fun fact: the protagonist of angels of death was a death watch member
The Death watch are indeed a space marine chapter.
I'd love for a Death watch unit to see a World Eater walk up and tell them to paint his armour black
Fun fact there's actually an entire tabletop RPG where you can play as a Deathwatch kill team creatively named Deathwatch. It's made by the same people who made the Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader rpgs and so follows the same d100 based system but instead of mortals you're massively powerful space marines who kill hordes of mortals as mooks basically.
Also fun fact you can play a Minotaur in it and they have a special trait called "Rivalry (Every Astartes Chapter)."
First time listener. I frickin love you and will be going on a full binge as of right now. You're funny AND relaxing, that's a rare combo. We might have to put you in stasis until we learn how to replicate you.
The ceremony for each chapter when a brother goes to the Death Watch is fun. Each is unique but the one I love is how thr Dark Angels mad dog the marine and threaten them to silence all the while masked in a sword passing ceremony.
That there are/can/might be Black Shield members of the Deathwatch that are/were Nigh Lords tickles me unimaginably.
There are probably a lot of black shields from the Marines Malevolent
Ironically, they are also used as escort for diplomatic missions with xenos. In fact, they are the most suitable to negotiate with the xenos besides an ordos xenos inquisitor.
Finally! Ive been looking forward to hear your banter on the DW.
I never thought of it but yeah, if you know very little about 40k the marines that go out of their way to deal with the horrid alien gribblies instead of just reacting to them when they invade sound cool. also black and silver slaps as a color scheme
The Deathwatch is also the place Chapters dump their “problem” Astartes.
Watch Angels of Death. Khazarion gets dumped into the Watch when he begins to succumb to the Black Rage. His Brothers even get pissed when he actually survives his Service and returns.
“Sacrificed to Duty.” He snarls at them.
Oh, and the forced psychological torture while being strapped onto a table is another thing….
Ah man, I do Ultramarines, Salamanders, AND Deathwatch. Am I a meme?
Yes. Probably yes.
Underrated and underutilized faction. So much strorytelling potential for games, shows, books, etc. Perfect for showcasing rivalries among chapters. Could also use it for some political intrugue (Inquisition). If they ever make a Space Marine 3 game, would be a great next step for Titus, given his experience with Orks and Tyranids. He would make a perfect addition to the Furor Shield, to help fix the Inquisition's fuck-up with the Octarius War.
Dude….. I just noticed that “old timey” music in the background. 😂
Best excuse for a 40k space marine RPG ever.
I like the idea of all the chapters united to defend humans from xenos and irony of a xeno species dying with they own weapons
love how the Space Wolves deal with these "requests" for personnel. "Yeah, yeah sure we'll get right on that, in the mean time here's a pack of blood claws, have fun!". 🤣
Always loved the Deathwatch, mostly because Xcom 2 is one of my favorite games and they remind me of it.
Plus the whole marines from multiple chapters appealed to me, I always wondered what type of culture would form out of it and how would they see other chapters after their time in the Deathwatch.
Bro, you arent wrong... 20yrs ago I never thought I would play spacemarines... when the time came, it was either Salamanders... or Deathwatch.
Purge the Xenos.
As a salamander player, i wholeheartedly agree with that statement
There's also an "Ultramarines" offshoot called the Sons of Orar who see Orar (some may not have existed exemplar for them) as their "spiritual primarch" and we all know where the leftovers of 2 and 11 probably went....so maybe they're a second founding to one of the lost legions....?
03:15 Mushrooms and old people 😁
Ahh chaplain cassius, what a great model for chaplain kitbashes
im one of those cool, smart, and swagged out individuals who decided to start 40k with custodians. and ive never looked back baybee
Old forgotten lore: Genestealer ork hybrids are welcome in the clan as normal members and actually disrupt brood telepathy, have no interest in helping the patriarch, and will be openly hostile to actual tyranids. But this is also dating back to the time of tinboyz, so kind of abandonded lore. But still kind of a cool idea
I always imagine the Deathwatch's hijinks are similar to the "Expendables" films.
Damn you’re a great warhammer UA-camr. I offer forth my comment to aid in your algorithm
Also. If someone gets bored of being a chaos space marie, they can paint black is gear and play loyal again.
Hey man, I want to say you have a great taste in books. I just started the talos book series you recommend in your night lord video and its been great! Talos is a fantastically done character and also setptimus ans Octavia are good also. I'm using audible, so I only use the 1 credit a month, but what other books do you recommend
I read the first 2 ciaphas cain books and thats all
As a fellow audible enjoyer, when you have an extra credit and need another book that isn’t so focused on the imperium and imperium adjacent factions, I highly recommend “The Infinite and the Divine” it’s probably the best necron book and one of the best books from black library. For some series I recommend the Gaunt’s Ghosts books for imperial guard stories, the Fabius bile trilogy for some crazy traitor action, and the eisenhorn main series of books for scratching that inquisitorial intrigue itch. I have so many individual books in my audible library it would take forever to recommend all the best of them. But I hope this poorly written comment gives you a good starting point for some new books.
Hey man. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to recommend some books for me. I heard the trazyn book is good, but I had it spoiled for me...
I love the guard books because it is the normal view someone would have if we were thrown in that situation.
Btw I appreciate it. I will look into Fabius bile. I don't know much about him, but I know he is working with angron correct?
Anything for a fellow new fan. Having a novel like that spoiled is An unfortunate situation for sure, still a good listen if you ever feel like listening to it.
Fabius Bile is the former chief apothecary of the Emperor’s Children legion, so he works more with his gene father Fulgrim, and even then he doesn’t like what his primarch has become. I’m not sure about him working with Angron since I haven’t had a chance to listen to any of the new book releases in a few months, so I’m not sure what interaction the two have had. The most recently released audiobooks I’ve listened to are “Only in Death” which is a fairly old Gaunt’s Ghosts book and “The End and the Death Part 1” which is the most recent siege of terra book so nothing particularly relevant currently.
I do know Bile is the antagonist in the new book “Genefather” so maybe that has more information you’re looking for
I like the Deathwatch as it's an all in one chapter. Not to mention a fun way to have crossovers, too.
Strength through diversity for the expressed purpose of bigotry
they dropped that comic, it was cool asf. damn you GW
deathwatch just has so much neat variety
he missed the opportunity to say squiggillions
"The chapter that people play when they don't want to play Salamanders" bro wtf I feel called out. I started with DW, because I didn't want to commit to the friendly flamer boys. But now I have both =)
3 hour ork vídeo when?
Yup dealing with orks with tryinids has never ever back fired whatsoever
Imagine Marines Malevolent in Deathwatch.
More Deathwatch content, please!
I came in blind and picked the Minotaurs. I got a set as a gift and painted some as blue boys, decided I didn’t like blue and picked the Greeks because there weren’t any Assyrians. Because as much as I like the Romans, I’m a sucker for copper colours and being the dickhead team without having to paint chaos spikes.
Damn, weaponised Xenophobia? They sound like they're one of, if not, dare I say the most based Space Marines out there
I personally made my own black watch kill team and one of my favorite characters from that group is a iron warrior who was unwilling inducted into the iron warriors but managed to resist the brainwashing and escape to the imperium where he pleaded his case and was deemed a useful tool for the imperium. He ended up becoming a black shield, and is a stellar tech marine using the leeway that the legion provides to Greta effect with modified terminator armor and many other wonky and otherwise heretical inventions which include a bottled and purged portion of the warp which allows psykers to not worry about demon possession.
would you mind doing a dive into some deathwatch or black shields lore? the video was very enjoyable and I'd like to see more.
The Deathwatch are pretty tight. My space marine chapter acts as sort of a green team to the local DW watch station , helping them train and acting as rapid replacement if shit goes bad. If they’re acting as rapid replacement they wear black shields and will leave as soon as tithed marines show up to replace them. When they’re back with my chapter they do get to continue wearing the DW pauldron on the opposite shoulder.
Dang...before landing on Ultramarines, I was considering Salamanders or Death Watch and have even made plans on abandoning my first born Ultras and Getting new marine deathwatch...Dang.
I prefer Luna Wolves, Black Templars, and Imperial Fists. But that’s because they’re in what I read so far.
Well
Not xenophobia
Xenophobia is the fear of aliens
The deathwatch doesn't fear aliens
*The aliens fear the deathwatch*
I play Deathwatch as my primary faction. I love their aesthetic, and the fact that I'm able to use all of the Chapter upgrade sprues, but I absolutely despise Watch Captain Artemis as a character lol
I prefer to just makeup my own lore for them instead, rather than use him as an HQ on the tabletop
Jon snow, of the Death Watch
The also have the single best HMkids song out there
Their books are some of the best. Think teams of Marines made up of named characters like you only find one of each in other books (aka; more personality per capita).
They are just passing the word of God onto them. (WE ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE WHILE THE FILTHY XENOS AREN'T)
I really want to play these :D
Xenos are Heresy, Heresy bad,
Xenos BAD!
PURGING XENOS GOOD
Would you ever cover the Daemonculaba?
DONT ITS A JOKE. I already drank all my bleach
6:36 YES!
"Xenophobia"???
Deathwatch don't fear any Xeno.
Correction, Xenos fear them 💀
I picked the Black Templars for my first chapter.
I no longer play tabletop.
Thanks to 10E changes, your uncle can take his casual racism to the competive level.
Two things I gotta say about them 1 If they had as many Space Marines as black Templar’s then the galaxy would be 5-10X more safer 2 if they cut the BS oath they take with the inquisition of not being able to tell there own chapter of there time fighting Xenos and fighting with other chapters brothers then they would be more helpful to there own chapters and the consequences are apparently being hunted down and killed by the Inquisition for breaking a BS Oath
They're allowed to share wisd9m and technique, just not deployment or mission specifics.
I wonder how they feel about the fact that the imperium is letting up on interacting on xenos like eldar and votann 🤔
I did pick salamanders as my first army.
Those comics are very hard to find in print.
Relic should've made a Deatwatch game based on DOW2. It would've been perfect!
Funny enough when i was deciding on a chapter to make my army I made a squad of Salamander intercessors and was not too stuck on that chapter. Thought about maybe making my own, and after failing to make a color scheme decided to be every chapter with the death watch. Already been gluing deathwatch shoulders and am happy with my decision.
