In an <a href="/edge_news.asp?eidn=4211">earlier preview</a>, the legacies of Deathwatch veterans, and their legendary kill-teams were explored. </i>The Emperor’s Chosen<i> allows dedicated and elite members of the Deathwatch to ascend to Deathwatch veteran. Kill-teams may follow in the footsteps of the heroic veteran squads that came before them with the Heroic Legacies included in The Emperor’s Chosen.</i></p> <p><i>Those few Space Marines who have served the Emperor with distinction and honor in the Deathwatch, and their masterful Kill-teams serve to inspire those who would follow in their footsteps. Aspire to honor the Emperor and the memories of your predecessor with Heroic Legacies. In this upcoming supplement for </i>Deathwatch<i>, you’ll find Heroic Legacies that are modeled after the greatest veteran kill-teams ever to fight for the Imperium in the Jericho Reach Deathwatch. Contributing writer Jason Marker discusses the role of Heroic Legacies in </i>The Emperor’s Chosen<i>. Read what he has to say below, as you prepare to advance yourself and your Battle-Brothers into the next phase of glory with </i>The Emperor’s Chosen<i>!</i></p> <p><b>A Kill-team of Legendary Prowess</b><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/emperors-chosen/DW15_5448_TerminatorHonours_JasonJuta.png" hspace="10" alt=""></p> <p>In <i>The Emperor's Chosen</i>, I had the pleasure of writing Chapter II: Figures of Legend. The Battle-Brothers of the Adeptus Astartes are already larger than life heroes, mythic warrior-monks in power armor who journey across the galaxy in His service tackling threats too large or too horrific for other, lesser branches of the Imperial war machine. The goal of my assignment for this project was to discuss those Space Marines who had risen not only to the top of their home chapters, but to the the top of the Jericho Reach Deathwatch as well. These are the stories of Battle-Brothers who had faced the worst that the various xenos races could throw at them and come out not only alive, but covered in laurels.</p> <p>To start, I wrote about Heroic Legacies. Kill-teams who have worked long together and distinguished themselves both in and out of battle can use their pooled experience points to buy a Historic Legacy. A Heroic Legacy is similar to a kill-team's squad abilities, but is something acquired by the Kill-team themselves and tailored to their experience and manner of working together. The core of the Heroic Legacy package is purchased by the players and provides several options for customization. The specifics are designed by the players and the Game Master, offering numerous options in offensive and defensive formations as well as special manoeuvres that allow a Kill-Team to shape their Heroic Legacy to their own particular combat style. So, a Kill-Team specializing in surgical strikes or stealth can build a powerful legacy around their particular form of warfare, enhancing their abilities and making them truly a power to be reckoned with on the battlefield.</p> <p>In all, I really enjoyed working on this project and I hope that you, the players, enjoy the fruits of our labor. So go spend your XP, collect you<a href="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/emperors-chosen/The%20Emperor's%20Chosen_pgs88-89.pdf"><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/emperors-chosen/dw15dd.png" hspace="10" alt=""></a>r laurels, and go knock some xenos’ heads together. Who knows, perhaps you and your Battle-Brothers will go down in Imperial histories, and your names will be whispered in the halls of the Deathwatch for millennia to come.</p> <p><i>Thanks, Jason! </i></p> <p><i>Check out the <a href="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/emperors-chosen/The%20Emperor's%20Chosen_pgs88-89.pdf">following pages</a> (pdf, 688 KB), excerpted from </i>The Emperor’s Chosen,<i> for an example of a Heroic Legacy package, and a sample of Heroic Legacies to aspire to in this upcoming supplement.

The bonds between the brethren of a Deathwatch Kill-team are forged from arduous battles endured together, and countless heroic and dangerous exploits that are all part of the job description of a Deathwatch Space Marine. To become a true veteran, acts of tremendous valor a<a href="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/emperors-chosen/DW151.pdf"><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/emperors-chosen/DW15-2_DLC-THM.png" hspace="10" alt=""></a>nd glory must be performed in the name of the Emperor. Deeds carried out by one bring honor to the Kill-team. Secret knowledge is revealed, and long and lonely trips to the Outer Reach may shake the foundation of what the Space Marine, and his Battle-brothers, thought they knew. This new understanding of the galaxy and the weight of duty to the Emperor may be why some Space Marines take their oaths again and again with the Deathwatch, as they become veterans, and heroes.</p> <p>The Emperor’s Chosen details just a few of the legendary veterans of the Deathwatch in the Jericho Reach.

The deeds and reputations of such teams will often precede them, becoming the stuff of legend to spur on the fledgling Kill-teams that will come after. <i>The Emperor’s Chosen</i> provides new rules for creating Heroic Legacies for veteran Battle-Brothers of the Jericho reach. Kill-teams may jointly purchase these Legacies, to access combat roles, manoeuvres, and more, that an experienced Kill-team can use to better crush their enemies in the name of the Emperor.

Of those, only a rare few earn the right to be called Deathwatch veterans. Are you worthy enough to take your place among them?</p> <p>Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of <i>The Emperor’s Chosen</i>, a supplement for <i><a href="/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=108&amp;enmi=Deathwatch">Deathwatch</a></i>! A veritable who’s who of the Deathwatch’s most legendary heroes, <i>The Emperor’s Chosen</i> is dedicated to those rare Deathwatch Space Marines who ascend to the status of veteran.</p> <p>This detailed tome lets players delve into the history of the Jericho Deathwatch and honor the heroic veteran Battle Brothers that have come before them. As part of a veteran Kill-team, Player Characters can assume a Heroic Legacy and combat their foes with tactical precision and martial excellence. Then, the included adventure invites Kill-teams to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and complete the mission that laid them low!</p> <p><b>Veterans of a Thousand Conflicts</b></p> <p>The length and breadth of the galaxy, the Imperium of Man stands on the brink of devastation. Facing threats from within, without, and beyond, the men and women of the Imperium toil tirelessly and without end to safeguard the million worlds they call home. Towering over these soldiers of Mankind are the Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes, their gene-enhanced bodies making evident to the eye the superiority that their warrior spirits make manifest on the battlefield.</p> <p><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/emperors-chosen/DW15-Astartes.png" hspace="10" alt="">The Space Marines, the Emperor’s Angels of Death, are the finest soldiers the Imperium of Man has ever created. But among them are those who stand above their brethren, those whose resolve marks them out as survivors of battles and campaigns the likes of which would shatter the very sanity of mere mortals. Veterans of a thousand conflicts, these Battle-Brothers are paragons of their Chapters’ ideals and traditions, and they stand as exemplars for their brethren.</p> <p><b>A Word from the Developer</b></p> <p>For more on <i>The Emperor’s Chosen</i>, here’s a word from developer Tim Flanders:</p> <p><i>It is hard to define the greatest strength of the Battle-Brothers of the Adeptus Astartes. Each Battle-Brother is the Emperor’s wrath made manifest, bringing to bear the might of entire armies and possessing an adamantine will. However, I’ve always felt that the true strength of the Space Marines is the bond of brotherhood formed from decades of service in the name of the Emperor. In the Deathwatch this bond is possibly even more important than it is among other Space Marine Chapters, as a Kill-team must overcome the inherent differences between the individual Battle-Brothers to become a highly effective fighting force unto itself. </i></p> <p><i>It was this notion of history and brotherhood that informed the development of </i>The Emperor’s Chosen<i>. The newest supplement for </i>Deathwatch<i> presents players with the opportunity to play Deathwatch Space Marines at their finest, with the experience of history guiding their actions and their trust in the Battle-Brother next to them driving them onward. This book provides players and GM’s with the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of those legendary Kill-teams whose names are recorded in the histories of Watch Fortress Erioch and with the tools to take their place beside the most famous Space Marines of the Jericho Reach.</i></p> <p>Thanks Tim! Check back for more on <i>The Emperor’s Chosen</i> in the coming weeks, then look for it on store shelves late in the second quarter of 2013. Prepare to pen your name in the history of the Jericho Reach!</p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=97"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Deathwatch</i> collection is © Games Workshop Ltd. 2010-2013. <i>Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer 40,000 Role Play, Deathwatch</i>, the foregoing marks’ respective logos, <i>Deathwatch</i>, and all associated marks, logos, places, names, creatures, races and race insignia/devices/logos/symbols, vehicles, locations, weapons, units and unit insignia, characters, products and illustrations from the <i>Warhammer 40,000</i> universe and the <i>Deathwatch</i> game setting are either ®, ™, and/or © Games Workshop Ltd 2000-2013, variably registered in the UK and other countries around the world.

For many players and GMs, the draw of a Space Hulk adventure lies in delving into what is essentially a dungeon crawl in the depths of space. Even a single Space Hulk can provide a near-infinite wealth of possibilities for GM ingenuity and player creativity. Whether you’re moving from room to room through cramped corridors, fighting off stalking predators and hordes of mindless killing machines, or forging a path from the entrance to the dark heart of the cursed vessel while surrounded by darkness and maddening Warp-phenomena, the Space Hulk presents a setting in which GM and player imaginations can go wild.</p> <p>When it comes to representing these horrific settings in <i>Deathwatch</i>, each group will have its own play style and preferences. With that in mind, when it came time for us to make <i>Ark of Lost Souls</i>, we knew that we had an important design decision to make. Should we take the game in a very tangible and concrete direction, replete with tactical maps? Or should we focus on tone, mood, and the narrative experience? Ultimately, we felt that the Space Hulk board game published by Games Workshop already offers a superb experience for those groups seeking a fun, challenging, tactical combat game set aboard an iconic Space Hulk. For that reason, we chose the latter option for <i>Ark of Lost Souls</i>, and focused both the adventure module and the Space Hulk Mission Generator towards capturing the tone and the mood of a Space Hulk, rather than the tactical details. </p> <p><b>A Treasure-Trove of Terror</b></p> <p><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/ark-of-lost-souls/DW14_4914_ClosingthePortal_VincentDevault.jpg" hspace="10" alt=""><i>Ark of Lost Souls</i> is filled to bursting with stats and details on monstrous horrors, ancient treasures, unimaginable threats, and endless environments aboard all manner of ships—human and alien alike—trapped within the tenacious bulk of a Space Hulk. Madness, terror, and distorted realities may lie around every corner or behind every door. In a place that is ever-changing and is utterly indefinable, the pervading mood is more akin to a haunted house or insane labyrinth than the simple voidships that comprise its twisted form. The threats are both real and imagined, as scuttling can be heard down each pitch-black corridor and the feeling of a malign presence seeps from the very walls.</p> <p>The Space Hulks in <i>Ark of Lost Souls</i>, which includes Mortis Thule in the adventure module and any derelicts the GM creates using the Space Hulk Mission Generator, are presented as a collection of locales, events, and encounters connected narratively by the Game Master and the players. During structured encounters, Game Masters who wish to build their own tactical experience with miniatures and maps are encouraged to do so. But either way, players will be free to take advantage of the fantastic atmospheres, phenomena, and adversaries presented throughout <i>Ark of Lost Souls</i> to push their campaign into the epic realm a <i>Deathwatch</i> game deserves.</p> <p><i>Thanks Tim! </i>Ark of Lost Souls <i>is coming soon, so check back for more news as the Mortis Thule approaches...</i></p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=97"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Deathwatch</i> collection is © Games Workshop Ltd. 2010-2013. <i>Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer 40,000 Role Play, Deathwatch</i>, the foregoing marks’ respective logos, <i>Deathwatch</i>, and all associated marks, logos, places, names, creatures, races and race insignia/devices/logos/symbols, vehicles, locations, weapons, units and unit insignia, characters, products and illustrations from the <i>Warhammer 40,000</i> universe and the <i>Deathwatch</i> game setting are either ®, ™, and/or © Games Workshop Ltd 2000-2013, variably registered in the UK and other countries around the world.

These are not the typical proto-planets that are found in every stellar system, but instead show signs of artifice and manufacture on a planetary scale. No sound explanation has ever been provided for these worlds, no theories have been put forth by the Magos Siderea of the Calixian Mechanicus, the first Explorators sent through the Warp Gate in the early days of the Achilus Crusade.

Chapter Two of <i>The Outer Reach</i> explores these worlds and phenomena, their past and their present, providing Game Masters with necessary information to build missions and campaigns centered around exploration into the lost and mysterious places in the Jericho Reach. Each world can be used as the setting for any number of Deathwatch missions, and numerous adventure seeds are included to provide GMs with ample fodder for their creativity.</p> <p><a href="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/outer-reach/Lost%20Worlds%20of%20the%20Jericho%20Reach.pdf">The Lost Worlds</a> (pdf, 4.1 MB)</p> <p>One such world, the chaos-infested planet Belissar, has been badly contaminated and influenced by the Ruinous Powers.

Nevertheless, all are heroes.</p> <p><i><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p2/final-image-from-bradbury.jpg" hspace="10" alt="">Honour the Chapter</i>, a supplement for <a href="/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=108&amp;enmi=Deathwatch"><i>Deathwatch</i></a>, is now on sale at your local retailer and on our <a href="http://store.fantasyflightgames.com/productdetails.cfm?SKU=DW12">webstore</a>! <i>Honour the Chapter</i> provides a wealth of options for players interested in characters drawn from Chapters created during the Second or subsequent Foundings. This comprehensive tome contains new character creation rules, a wealth of relics unique to each Chapter, and plenty of guidance and adventure seeds for Game Masters.</p> <p><b>Epic Heroes</b></p> <p>For more on <i>Honour the Chapter</i>, here’s a word from its lead developer, Tim Flanders:</p> <p><i>Since the Core Rulebook, we've had a good chance to cover our core of Space Marine Chapters, and with First Founding we were able to bring the remaining progenitor Chapters to the fore. But now, for the first time since the inception of </i>Deathwatch<i>, we will be giving a huge number of the other myriad Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes the attention they deserve. I think players are going to really enjoy the chance to play Battle-Brothers from Chapters throughout the Imperium, each with as much depth as the Chapters we've covered in our past products.</i></p> <p><i>Of course, with all this variety comes a price. Trying to form a Kill-team out of Battle-Brothers from such disparate backgrounds, all with their own histories, combat doctrines, and philosophies is tough work. Thankfully, we've covered that, too! GMs will find </i>Honour the Chapter <i>indispensable for making the most of their campaigns, by highlighting the strengths of their players, their characters, and the relationships between the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. In this way, they’ll really make their players feel like the epic heroes of the Imperium that they are!</i></p> <p>For ten millennia, Space Marines from a thousand chapters have fought and died in the name of the Emperor of Man. Pick up your copy of <i>Honour the Chapter</i> from your local retailer today, and take your place among the legends of the Adeptus Astartes!</p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=97"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Deathwatch</i> collection is © Games Workshop Ltd. 2010-2013. <i>Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer 40,000 Role Play, Deathwatch</i>, the foregoing marks’ respective logos, <i>Deathwatch</i>, and all associated marks, logos, places, names, creatures, races and race insignia/devices/logos/symbols, vehicles, locations, weapons, units and unit insignia, characters, products and illustrations from the <i>Warhammer 40,000</i> universe and the <i>Deathwatch</i> game setting are either ®, ™, and/or © Games Workshop Ltd 2000-2013, variably registered in the UK and other countries around the world.

Today, we’re pleased to present a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of Honour the Chapter by FFG Associate Art Producer Mike Linnemann. Mike agreed to take us through the process of how FFG works with artists to create the perfect art piece for a book like </i>Honour the Chapter<i>. Thanks, Mike!</i></p> <p><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p1/book-DW12-right.png" hspace="10" alt="">As <i>Honour the Chapter</i> is mere days away, it’s high time that we gave you a little insight into some art. This type of preview, called a “Sketch to Final,” focuses on a piece of new commissioned artwork and talks about how that piece of art travels from inspirational idea to finalized product. Today, we’ll look at a chapter plate from the upcoming <i>Honour the Chapter</i> supplement.</p> <p><b>Initial Planning</b></p> <p>Before every RPG book is created, an art director meets with a producer and discusses the art descriptions. Honour the Chapter was produced by Tim Flanders, a Space Wolves loving man who took an incredible amount of time thinking about each image that would be carefully placed within the pages of Honour the Chapter. After going through every image to be created, I went back to the chapter plates and read his art description:</p> <p>A Space Marine Captain of the Blood Raven’s Chapter leading a squad of Blood Ravens in a charge out of a drop pod. The Captain is wielding a lightning claw and a plasma pistol, the other Blood Ravens are tactical marines with bolters.</p> <p>I then asked him what motivated him on this particular artwork, to which he replied, “What is something that only Space Marines get to do? The answer is a drop pod assault. What has more impact than several tons of ceramite and plasteel fired from orbit, carrying a squad of Adeptus Astartes warriors into the thick of battle?”</p> <p>I looked at the list of artists that I could call upon and found that the trusty and talented Matt Bradbury, a British fellow that enjoys working on Space Marines, was available.</p> <p><b>The First Sketches</b></p> <p>Here is what Matt turned in for his first sketch:</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img align="middle" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p2/DW12_2799_Chapter%201%20Chapter%20Plate_887_MattBradbury_1_6.jpg" hspace="10" alt=""></p> <p>I knew ahead of time that Matt loves to send in semi-final works as sketches. We loved the imposing grandeur of the stance and the slight twinge of arrogance in the Blood Raven’s swagger. What we did not see, and desperately needed, was the scene of Space Marines arriving. They never travel alone, and the team aspect of the Space Marines was not quite exhibited.</p> <p>I asked for two more fast sketches. Here is the first sketch I received back:</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img align="middle" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p2/DW12_2799_Chapter%201%20Chapter%20Plate_887_MattBradbury_1_8.jpg" hspace="10" alt=""></p> <p>The first image of a Space Marine charging out of a drop pod is mighty cool. It brings movement and action directly into the piece. It even forces your eye to want to turn the page. If you’re a Scott McCloud fan, you’ll notice the concept from <i>Reinventing Comics</i> (his book) of pushing the viewer toward the right, building a “tease” for the next page, whether it involves the story or not. I like the image; it’s interesting, but it opens itself for interpretation. I’m always up for a good homage, but this takes the “marine” coming directly into battle perhaps a bit too close to literal:</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img align="middle" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p2/d-day.jpeg" hspace="10" alt=""></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><i>Those are United States soldiers storming Normandy, June 6, 1944. I love the conceptual idea of tying brave troops fighting for freedom and Space Marines in the far future beating back Xenos threats, but there is a better way to depict the scene.</i></p> <p><b>The Second Sketch</b></p> <p>The second new sketch really showed us a strongly branded image that we wanted. Were any Xenos armies to see that image, they should be rethinking what they’re doing...if they’re able to think, of course. Both new sketches gave us a great insight into what drop pods look like and the impending battle that is immediate, but this one gave the awe inspiring power and the inevitability of fired up Space Marines landing.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img align="middle" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p2/DW12_2799_Chapter%201%20Chapter%20Plate_887_MattBradbury_1_9.jpg" hspace="10" alt=""></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><i>This is a Space Marine invasion; bolter char is going to be the only thing remaining on this world.</i></p> <p><b>Here is Matt’s final:</b></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img align="middle" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p2/final-image-from-bradbury.jpg" hspace="10" alt=""></p> <p>Notice how solid the foreground Space Marine is standing. Notice that there are five Space Marines shown. (They move in groups of five or two groups of five to make ten.) As Space Marines are organized not unlike the military, showing them as they would look in battle was key for us in this image. You’ll also notice that this type of superhero image used quite often in comic books, movie posters, and high school basketball line ups. Why, you ask? Power. It exudes it, and Space Marines relish in it. It brings the truism of “Might is Right” into a depiction that brings forth the physicality and the order that the Codex Astartes demands. We wanted impending doom and wide-eyed emotion. We got it. We wanted to keep viewers looking at this page, no teaser or preview to flip to the next. We got it. We needed to balance the sheer emotive quality with areas of detail to move the eye. We got it.</p> <p>Did we get what we wanted? Yes, and then some. You really need to see this up close.</p> <p><i>Thanks, Mike!

Isolated on the gloomy Forbidden World of Sacris, the Storm Wardens adamantly protect their privacy while training in the use of close-quarters weaponry. Indeed, it is in close combat that many of the Storm Wardens’ traditions are most fully expressed, for they are possessed of a fierce sense of pride and believe that honour is to be found in the act of striking an enemy down with one’s own hand.</p> <p><a href="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p1/DW12-tempest-blade.pdf"><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/p1/DW12-prev.png" hspace="10" alt=""></a>To this end, the Storm Wardens utilize the fearsome claymore wielded by the clans of Sacris, each Battle-Brother practicing endlessly until he is a master in its use. Only when he is judged worthy is a Battle-Brother formally allowed to wield his claymore on the field of battle, mostly limiting its use to officers and veterans. Many claymores have been passed down through the generations, and some are truly ancient relics forged by the clans of Sacris and later fitted with power field generators to wreath their mighty blades in shimmering, deadly force.</p> <p>Warriors who have attained the acclaim of their entire Chapter are henceforth known as Tempest Blades, and are grouped together into special veteran squads within the 1st Company.

Meanwhile, the Deathwatch also clashes with the Chaos-worshipping forces of Stigmartus in the Acheros Salient. In the Canis Salient, controversy rages as some suggest a partnership with the Tau, and a brutal witch hunt ensues to track down anyone subscribing to such beliefs.

Today we bring death to those who turned from the light of the Emperor and broke faith with their brothers. Today we bring honour to those who came before us as we lay low these traitors! For Vilamus! For Guilliman! For the Emperor!"       –Brother-Captain Haeron of the Marines Errant</i></p> <p>The brethren of the Deathwatch are the champions of humanity, the elite of the elite, and the very best the thousand and more Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes can produce. But while many Battle-Brothers are drawn from the most well known Chapters—the Blood Angels, the Space Wolves, the Ultramarines, and others of the First Founding—still more hail from lesser known bodies, the Successors of the great Legions. Some of these Chapters are every bit as famous as their celebrated progenitors, while others are all but unheralded. Nevertheless, all are heroes.</p> <p>Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of <i>Honour the Chapter</i>, a supplement for <a href="/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=108&amp;enmi=Deathwatch"><i>Deathwatch</i></a>! <i>Honour the Chapter</i> provides a wealth of options for players interested in characters drawn from Chapters created during the Second or subsequent Foundings. This comprehensive tome contains new character creation rules, a wealth of relics unique to each Chapter, and plenty of guidance and adventure seeds for Game Masters.</p> <p><b>From throughout the Imperium </b></p> <p><b><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/deathwatch/news/honour-the-chapter/DW12-art.png" hspace="10" alt=""></b>For more on <i>Honour the Chapter</i>, here’s a word from its lead developer, Tim Flanders:</p> <p>As the second book I’ve developed for the <i>Deathwatch</i> line, <i>Honour the Chapter</i> was an exciting project for me. Since the Core Rulebook, we've had a good chance to cover our core of Space Marine Chapters, and with <i>First Founding</i> we were able to bring the remaining progenitor Chapters to the fore. But now, for the first time since the inception of <i>Deathwatch</i>, we will be giving a huge number of the other myriad Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes the attention they deserve. I think players are going to really enjoy the chance to play Battle-Brothers from Chapters throughout the Imperium, each with as much depth as the Chapters we've covered in our past products.</p> <p>Of course, with all this variety comes a price. Trying to form a Kill-team out of Battle-Brothers from such disparate backgrounds, all with their own histories, combat doctrines, and philosophies is tough work. Thankfully, we've covered that, too! GMs will find <i>Honour the Chapter</i> indispensable for making the most of their campaigns, by highlighting the strengths of their players, their characters, and the relationships between the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. In this way, they’ll really make their players feel like the epic heroes of the Imperium that they are!</p> <p>For ten millennia, Space Marines from a thousand chapters have fought and died in the name of the Emperor of Man. Keep checking back as we preview <i>Honour the Chapter</i> in the coming weeks, and late in the second quarter, take your place among the legends of the Adeptus Astartes!</p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=97"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Deathwatch</i> collection is © Games Workshop Ltd. 2010-2013. <i>Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer 40,000 Role Play, Deathwatch</i>, the foregoing marks’ respective logos, <i>Deathwatch</i>, and all associated marks, logos, places, names, creatures, races and race insignia/devices/logos/symbols, vehicles, locations, weapons, units and unit insignia, characters, products and illustrations from the <i>Warhammer 40,000</i> universe and the <i>Deathwatch</i> game setting are either ®, ™, and/or © Games Workshop Ltd 2000-2013, variably registered in the UK and other countries around the world.
