Fantasy Flight announces Deathwatch -
the 3rd installment in the Warhammer 40K RPG line.
The third installment in Fantasy Flight Games’ Warhammer 40,000 role-playing game line has been announced with an August 2010 release date.
Deathwatch allows players to play the role of Imperial Space Marines—genetically modified super-soldiers from the highly popular 40K universe of RPG and Miniature games.
Deathwatch will be completely compatible with both Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader – available now,at Gnome Gmes – but it is a complete game in its own right and will NOT require any of the earlier material.
Deathwatch focuses on the life-and-death struggles between Space Marines and alien forces working to destroy the Imperium. Characters are developed from various Space Marine Chapters and thrown together in the newly formed “Deathwatch” where they must cooperate in calndestine “special-forces” style operations that challenge the players to operate without support.

“You will watch in the dark places where evil slumbers. You will hold back the night. You will bring justice and war to the malevolent Xenos. You will annihilate the alien and bring unto them the judgement of Mankind. You stand as the bulwark upon which the Imperium persists, from now until the end of time.”
excerpt from the Deathwatch Apocryphon Oath
Greetings Initiate -
At long last, the time has come to walk a new path and fulfill your destiny. After years of successful, unfailing service in the name of your Chapter, your Primarch, and the Emperor – your exploits and successes have revealed you to be a most worthy candidate. Now that the oath has been spoken and the ritual painting of your power armour is complete, it is time to assume the mantle of service beyond the concerns of your single Chapter, and unlike any you have ever known.
Welcome to the Deathwatch!
Deathwatch will have a suggested retail price of $59.95. Gnome Games will begin taking preorders for this on June 1st, 2010.
