40 Facts and Lore about the Deathwatch Part 2 Warhammer 40k

[@TK199999]

Deathwatch and Hayden Anomaly stuff is the most grim dark stuff in the grim dark setting of 40K. Example being that a rouge trader fleet headed by Hayden the guy who named the Anomaly set off its old mining ship on mission. It vanished, until 3,000 years later a Kill Team noticed a rouge planetoid passing near their watch station. It appeared to be a lifeless hunk of rock except, it had a breathable atmosphere and what appeared to be a crashed missing Imperial Mining ship on its surface. When the Kill Team got there, they found the ship had not crashed but been carefully disassembly into all its parts and laid out like a tech diagram or manual on the surface. But what made me go 'Wow', was what they found next. What appeared to the remains of 15,000 people carefully dissected with all their parts laid out on the ground like medical text book showing all the parts. The dissected remains appeared to be soft and still wet, show no signs of decay.

this one single marine story could have made a great background for an openworldish Space Marine game (the one from Relic), there is reason for enemy respawning, there is a need for crafting and maintaining equipment... one guerilla marine vs constantly attacking chaos warriors in an abandoned fortress... thats like Batman: Arkham whatever in WH40k setting.

[@NukeCola1988]

not bad :D

[@turtleguns9173]

Spown GW has to make this game

[@dustysky895]

only one battlebrother.....that is awesome

[@reinerackerman8681]

I feel bad for him tbh.

[@dustysky895]

least he is still keeping the place safe. that mofo needs to like get promoted since probably some dudes go there to salvage the place only to find the lone battlebrother still alive XD

[@christianfinken6433]

I would love to include this badass in the next Deathwatch RPG Round with my buddies. :D

[@chewiesof]

One battlebrother he must be very lonely, they should at least send a kill team to go check out the abandoned base

[@dangrus123]

I occasionally run the Deathwatch RPG, and will be starting a new game this weekend. My group made a kill-team best described as derp marines. Each one from a chapter that either was from the cursed founding, or was of a lineage that makes that lucky group look down on them in pity. Wish them luck, they will need it! Some of this really reminded me of things to bring in, they are going to be so happy.

[@dand2412]

Listening to this whilst I paint up chaplain Ortan Cassius was just as good, if not better, than having an audio book on in the background. Time to listen to more of these facts while I continue to paint

[@ls-501templar8]

I name the lone battle brother, the most badass space marine in the imperium

[@Dasgoose123]

Dude the deathwatch might be my favorite series you guys have done. Can you guys dig up anything else about them?

[@MrHobbs209]

if there was a 40k film made i hope it would be about the death watch. makes a perfect story a kill team on a mission.

[@bonefetcherbrimley7740]

That single battle brother is a bad ass.

[@lightseeker4155]

I just started collecting and building my Deathwatch army!

[@djskizzle1]

one guy holding down a station taken over by chaos marines? Sounds like die hard! I'm so happy there is 40k die hard now

[@jestergodfield690]

I remember reading parts of the deathwatch : xenos hunter book. It was good and I totally recommend it if you haven't read it before

[@Deimnos]

lol, i have only played 40k Dawn of war 1 and 2 video games, and until then had little to no contact with 40k. Even before watching this video, i "collected" bits and pieces of lore from various youtube channels, including this one, but your 2 Death Watch videos made me very interested in the Death Watch itself. Not that im gonna start playing the table top game, but think i'm going to get more info on them and maybe read a few books!:) Cheers mate, keep it up!

[@tysongardner2821]

Great video guys. 👍 That last battle brother you mentioned sounds pretty awesome. The more l hear about these guys the more l like them, l might have to put them with my other possible Spacemarine chapters to start collecting when l have finished my Chaos army.

[@frankc3266]

your lore about the deathwatch has inspired me to build a deathwatch army

[@SeattleGadfly]

Love the vids. I just started a Death Watch force to augment my Astra Militarum. Keep the content coming. Good Stuff!

[@OutnumberedStudios]

i just bought my local lgs and decided to make deathwatch my amy of choice. ive been playing off and on since 2nd ed as more of a builder and painter this army speaks to me .

[@sarahstarchild8495]

9:17 warcraft artwork XD. I think the next best reason I love this channel is the variety of artwork shown. Question: What is your favorite Warhammer artwork/ Artist? Also if you search Warhammer on Artstation.com, you'll find a lot of high quality warhammer fan art or production work.

[@johnrich1985]

got my 1st dw army from death watch... expanding to the Watch Company soon

[@shaddzzz]

I am watching this as research for a deathwatch rpg campaign, it's given me several ideas so thanks :D

[@simonmatthewellis]

alex B that’s actually what I’m doing too!! Any good ideas?? Maybe a re-visit of a lost watchstation... or campaign to seal the anomaly that causes chaos incursions?

[@everybodyhatesgresh]

Wait so crestes is still infested with a single demon, and no one has figured it out yet? Even in the current lore?

[@colonel149th-dkok4]

I know that this post is old but I have been working my way through all of the playlists posted by you guys. As per your question, I own a 10 man squad of Deathwatch space marines that my Imperial Guard army calls upon when needed. If I didn't own a company of Space Wolves, I would probably have an army of Deathwatch space marines.

[@-OokySpooky-]

You know at first I was super intrigued about the unusually shear titanic levels of steadfast badassery the lone Astarte must have. Then I realized somewhere in the reach there is a _Deathwatch _*_Excoriator_* - which begins to make a _whooole_ lot of fucking sense. If you guys arent to savvy on them check out the video he did for them. He does them a fair bit of justice.

[@disgraceddairy1282]

That one battle brother should be a grey knight...

[@MaceLupo]

No Grey Knights in the Deathwatch.

[@ianbarry6068]

death watch reminds me of green berets

[@johngavin3180]

starting up a death watch army.

[@dracodarastrix4175]

I have a single deathwatch squad. I primarily use it as my spacemarine veteran squad.

[@Nikolay1622]

I got a deathwatch chaplain and watch master. Just started collecting😀 amazing channel👍👍

[@Morphshuffle]

9:09 praise to the dark portal! bringer of orks!

[@kharizma1734]

Morph Shuffle FOR THE HORDE

[@nathanialsummers7196]

I have 3000 pts of death watch and love these videos

[@markcrosling3440]

I've never owned a Warhammer figurine, or even seen it played.. but fuck, I love the lore!

[@artinyounki]

its sort of funny, i just got back into war hammer and i was looking to build a chaos army that was totally different from whats already out there. after a lot of thinking i thought why not build an army of sons of malice/malal. the problem was that i really dint want them to be the same as the other chaos war band in strategy or weaponry. so i thought why not the deathwatch... the only problem was that i couldn't think of good fluff for them but now i am inspired by the 40 facts and this has and will give me some good ideas as to bass my SoM on. to be honest i was never a big fan of the fluff that's already out there for the SoM and al i can see are improvements...

[@25angel20]

That 1 battlebrother must be SLY MARBO!

[@tergelaltankhuyag8206]

that lone battle brother seems to be a black templar those bastards arent gona die anytime soon

[@Igoxz]

The picture at 9:10 is from wow, it's the dark portal being built

[@Lulu-ex7fc]

haha, yeah, I recognized it only because I saw the Warcraft movie two weeks ago.

[@Igoxz]

Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn did you like the movie? btw i'm right now reading eisenhorns book

[@Lulu-ex7fc]

***** i'd liked the movie, but there were several things that were either unnecessary or they just changed from the books. Also, it was too short to fit all it needed to. Make that movie about thirty minutes longer and it would've been better. Then the romance btw the half Ork/half human and Lothgar felt out of place, despite the fact that in the books, the woman was half Ork, half Draenei.

[@Igoxz]

Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn Yeah i also felt like the movie was too short and could use some extra time, plus they changes where because this is the new cannon now, bliz is changing stuff

[@AnEvilSnowman]

9:10 is that the dark portal from Warcraft?

[@alexbelnavis6036]

yes looool

[@Brakiros]

Blizzard made off with a lot of GW's stuff when they made Warcraft

[@crimsonghillie1312]

(Suggestion) watch station madel and the lone space marine in it.

[@alexanderlowton4552]

The last Deathwatch basewould make easily for a good tower defense game.

[@AzyrealLal]

That video was so awesome I watched it twice

[@ryanpact7752]

Suggestion: tau

[@gepzene1]

The whole 40k universe is crying out to make a manga out of it.

[@michelegrimm996]

i am starting to do deathwatch the lore is great in my eyes

[@glennjmerto6172]

Whats the song used in the background?

[@slumpbumpkin4675]

Suggestion, Noise marines

[@Tommy9834]

I thought Deathwatch fought Xenos, most of these stories was Warp related.

[@Chief_Keith]

They are kinda like the CIA really, they investigate anything and fight anything but you usually hear about kill teams being sent it to kill xenos or genestealer cults

[@toastertech1181]

well I do own the space hulk deathwatch game other than that no models or anything but this is still interesting, also nekrons.. time for another exterminatus c:

[@eachtundra1240]

I have a deathwatch army I have a deathwatch game table with self made scenery I don't have much compared to my chaos army I have like 5 kill team but my chaos army is the literal full mite of the of my custom chaos space marine warband named the burners of Tartarus

[@aruanamic8766]

can you do one on the gates of fire

[@avmrb42]

40 facts about exodite eldar

[@pendoor55]

I have a deathwatch army I am painting now

[@pawelkuznik]

How many battle brothers deathwatch has? All drafted battler brothers and per watch station?

[@ReMaxJax]

The Deathwatch has anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 battle brothers depending on the threat level of the time.

[@AmbroseBoaBowie]

I'm making a SCP Chapter baced off Desthwatch. I need help with the lore though. But the Deathwatch is perfict to bace this costome chapter off of.

[@AlphaBiggotz]

Does seem like joining the Deathwatch is a pretty shitty deal for the Astartes.

[@cacboy300]

second but I still want a Thousand sons video but just keep doing the great work you guys

[@jhoffman106]

Haha one lone death watch member in a universe full of life on a forgotten planet too cheesy

[@Fr33man]

Ok Im just gonna say it, these video's are paltry. They arn't 40 facts about anything its just him reading a lore facet thats related to the context like reading a biography... but calling it 40 facts. Not all the video's are like this as many of them are actually FACTS instead of "40k story time". Almost ALL of this guy's Part 2/3 etc video's are just pulling up some lore from lexicanum and just regurgitating the words from a page with some copy/pasted images. Syndicate you can do better than this. Just repeating a specific adventure of a chapter/daemon/primarch isn't a 40 Facts video is a story time video. Seriously, if anyone wants to read what he is saying in advange just go to lexicanum or any other 40k wiki and you'l find what this video is saying all detailed on the same page in most cases. Word for word.
