Laspistols really, really shouldn't be in the universal kit. EDIT: Actually, it's also in Additional Equipment. So which is it?

Some regiments have Stub Autos as standard issues. But sidearms tend to be limited to officers.

This is deliberate - every regiment gets a laspistol as a Main Weapon (otherwise the vehicle regiments wouldn't have any personal weaponry). Some regiment types (mainly the infantry ones) replace that with a Lasgun or Lascarbine, but have the option when defining the rest of their standard issue of adding a pistol sidearm from the big table of additional standard issue items.

On page 28, when listing benefits for the Penal Colony origin, under the Honour Amongst Thieves listing, it offers the choice between Peer (Underworld), Pity the Weak, and Street Fighting.  However, Pity the Weak doesn't seem to exist.

In addition, the wording on the Hardened Fighters doctrine on page 32 is confusing, at least to me.  It says you are able to replace your regiment's standard melee weapon with a Primary Weapon, but what is a Primary Weapon?  This term appears no where else.

Primary is Primitive… which seems to be "Low-Tech Weapons" now.

Pity the Weak is from Black Crusade. It may have a different name in these rules, but I'll have to check over the Talent's section.

There are no female Space Marines. Don't believe me?

Gender & Appearance
Due to the special nature of the zygotes that make up a Space Marine's geneseed, all Space Marines are male.
- Deathwatch, Core Rulebook, Page 28.

So enough with the Female Marine threads…

They're listed as having 'Gas Grenades'. No such item exists in the Armoury. There are certainly grenades that deploy various types of gas, but no specific "Gas Grenade".

By the looks of it, the Gas Grenades in the Siege Infantry doctrine have been replaced with photon flash grenades, so the same change should be made in the Krieg entry (as the Krieg 616th are a Siege Infantry Regiment)

Page 23 - Mordian Iron Guard

The example doctrine lists a Leman Russ with Smoke Launchers, Searchlight and Track Guards as part of the Standard Regimental Kit. Outside of a brief mention of searchlights on one of the damage tables, Smoke Launchers, Searchlight and Track Guards appear no where in the book.

There is also little to no information concerning the Regiment's Favoured Weapons, apart the small paragraph on page 17.  They do talk about favoured weapons again in the armoury section, under Weapon  customisation on page 136, but see no other information.  As it gives a +10 to Logistics to obtain said favoured weapons, so groups would be intrested in taking them.

 Am I the only one who keeps running out of points?

I've converted Dark Heresy to the Only War system. Please take a look!

 Apologies for the double post, but shouldn't the Tauros vehicle be in there for Hunter-Killer or Drop Troop doctrines? The book mentions Elysians as using them, and they make more sense for a fast attack group than a Chimera or Sentinel.

Only so much room in the book for vehicles. I had to hit the 'main' ones.

Just pick a heavy and special weapon. I apologise for not making it clear in the text.

Page 26 - Clarification required (Using Death World as an example):

Hardened: Death worlders are accustomed to violence, and many death worlds contain a variety of deadly, venomous creatures. They must be continually prepared and wary of danger from a young age if they are to survive, and those instincts do not easily fade. Death worlders may choose to start with one of the following Talents: Light Sleeper, Lightning Reflexes, or Resistance (Poisons).

Must all characters choose one of those three (ie. everyone gets Light Sleeper -OR- Lightning Reflexes -OR- Resistance (Poisons)), or can individual characters choose the one they like independent of everyone else?
