“Your fate is to know that which may not be known, to look into those places of darkness and desolation and know that horrors look back upon you. Speak not to your brothers of such things, but use the gifts you have been given, by the Emperor himself, to blast and sear and rend and banish all those who would deny us our destiny.”

Welcome to the Deathwatch Collector's Edition
Amongst a hundred men there may be none fit for the Adeptus Astartes; amongst a hundred Space Marines, there may be only one fit for the Deathwatch!
With the release of the magnificent Deathwatch Collector’s Edition, we have created a rarified artifact as exceptional as the candidates invited to join this mysterious, elite Brotherhood. Will you be among the few?
The moment you behold its weathered exterior and surface details you will appreciate the Deathwatch Collector’s Edition as a stunning creation unlike anything you’ve ever seen. This masterful edition has been produced as a strictly limited and numbered edition of 2,000 copies worldwide. Whether you’re a player, game master, or a Warhammer 40,000 enthusiast, there is no Deathwatch-related volume that is more highly sought after. Choosing to own a copy of the Deathwatch Collector’s Edition is to take on the role of custodian of a unique and remarkable relic.
The Deathwatch Core Rulebook is housed in a hefty ammo crate fashioned from metal, and encrusted with Deathwatch iconography on all sides. The front face and spine are embellished with spectacular ornamentation reminiscent of the Deathwatch logo, portraying both skull and crossbones and the Inquisitorial Rosette in stark relief. The entire case is protected by a Librarian’s key with chain that wraps around the cover, ensuring it remains closed and hidden from spying eyes.
Safely ensconced within is a specially-bound volume of the Deathwatch Core Rulebook, available exclusively in the Deathwatch Collector’s Edition. From the rulebook’s silver gilt edges, the matching Deathwatch skull and Inquisitorial Rosette emblazoned across its cover, to the ribbon bookmark that will keep your most referenced pages at your fingertips, it is a work of undeniable craftsmanship.
This exquisite tome sits snugly in one half of the case, held securely in place by a genuine leather strap and buckle decorated with the Imperial Aquila. The book itself is printed on a parchment-like heavy stock that will evoke the feeling that you’re reading an aged, historical document. Within its pages is everything you need to safeguard the Imperium from hostile xenos forces, to seek out and crush the root of heresy and sedition, and to continue the fight against foul daemon hordes that crawl forth hungrily from beyond the Warp.
On the left half of the case you’ll find a personalized copy of the Apocryphon Oath, the sacred words invoked by every Space Marine seconded to the Deathwatch. The top of this canonical declaration is inscribed the Space Marine name and Chapter of your choice, hand-lettered by a professional calligrapher. The Apocryphon Oath is affixed in place by two purity seals, from which also hangs a copy of the Catechism of the Xenos for reference.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime, not only to step forward into one of the most specialized and secretive groups of the Emperor’s Finest, but to do so bearing a sanctified artifact that will be the centerpiece of your Warhammer 40,000 collection for years to come!
Deathwatch Collector’s Edition is a roleplaying game in which players take on the roles of the bio-engineered super-soldiers known as Space Marines. United with their battle-brothers, players will complete extraordinary missions involving some of the greatest heroes and deadliest opponents the Warhammer 40,000 universe has to offer.
