Deathwatch requires recruits from all chapters, Joining the deathwatch is sometimes a form of exile from the chapter, consequently there are a lot of codex un-compliant Ultramarines in the deathwatch.

In the Deathwatch tabletop RPG, I was part of the galaxy's most incompetent kill team. We had a Dark Angels tactical marine, an Iron Hands techmarine, an Imperial Fists devastator marine and a Black Templars assault marine (me). We were sent to look for survivors at an Imperial research station on an ice world. They had been attacked and possibly wiped out by a mysterious xenos force (quickly turned out to be Tyranids). Here is the fate that befell each of us: The techmarine was cut in half by hormagaunts in our first encounter. None of us had medical skills, so we looked through our items until we found "armor repair paste". Reasoning that he had a lot of bionic bits, we stuffed it into his wounds and hoped it would stop the bleeding. It worked, he survived til the end. The Dark Angel fumbled a grenade and it landed at his own feet. Didn't hurt him, but permanently destroyed ALL of his armor. He was naked on an ice world, surrounded by enemies. The Imperial Fist failed multiple fear tests and went crazy from terror, randomly firing his missile launcher while soiling himself. I failed the flight rolls every time I tried to use my jump pack, either crashing or not getting off the ground in the first place. During our heroic last stand on the roof, I decided to use my pack to jump into the heart of the enemies and kill as many as I could before they took me down. Of course, I failed the roll, jump pack doesn't start up, and I just kind of trip lamely over the edge of the roof.

In other words for every imperial world there are up to 200k _star systems_ not controlled by the Imperium. As a side note, this also explains how Eldar and Humans were able to both have a galaxy-spanning empire during the Dark Age of Technology, there simply was more than enough space for both of them (and many more).

It's also funny to think that this gigantic epic of a story playing out over tens of thousands of years at such a huge scale.....is all in one galaxy. Nids are the only confirmed thing from another galaxy. Hell, even the chaos deities seem fairly confined to the milky way. Frankly, it's *only* the year 41,000. That's 0.00 41% of the age of the earth, and 0.00029% the age of the universe. This unbelievably, incomprehensibly gigantic story takes place in a tiny tiny fraction of time, in a single galaxy out of 200 billion to 2 trillion galaxies. Oh, and that's in the observable universe, so with warp travel, that number is going to increase a lot. Even our grandest stories end up as specks of dust compared to the whole of reality

[@BuddyWithTheSideburns]

Honestly, figuring out which chapters each of your marines hail from is one of the most fun parts of playing Deathwatch. You can do a lot of visual storytelling by matching heraldry to weapon loadout, armour and helmet style, etc.

[@Annoyachu]

100%! And making up little back stories about how well the fireteam gets along while you're painting. "Look! A Black Templar.... I'm sure he'll love this BA Sgt I'm putting him with."

@Annoyachu Absolutely! This faction is just loaded with character👍

[@reecedignan8365]

Yup so much fun in the RPG too having players decide chapters and turning up going. “I am a Space Wolf Tactical Marine” “I’m a Dark Angels Devastator” *proceeds to start bickering and dick waving while the ultramarine sergeant sighs his ass off* Or “I’m a Iron Hands Tech Priest” “I’m a Raven Guard Tactical Marine” “I’m a Salamander Apothecary” *proceeds to be both bitter about the dropsite massacre towards one another but also have the closet bond in the world of ‘I will not let you fall’*

[@BuddyWithTheSideburns]

@@reecedignan8365 Now THAT is the kind of character-building I live for!

[@reecedignan8365]

@@BuddyWithTheSideburns Most fun campaigns I’ve run I can tell you have been: 1. A 6 player campaign where each player choose an ultramarines successor. Seeing each of them start off as “f-yeah for the primach brothers” slowly start fading into “that’s not what the codex would say? What do you mean everyone in the red scorpions is an apothecary? Marines Errant why are you eying up my fallen brother gene-seed? What do you mean the Nova Marines supply battle brothers to the ultramarines, that’s like having a full second chapter of brothers to steal from!” 2. A 4 player campaign where I had a Black Templar Assault Marine, a Carcharodon Tactical Marine, a Flesh Tearer Apothecary & and Minotaur Devestator… let’s just say it was one of the most fun and brutal campaigns I’ve had the experience of running/enjoying. 3. A small Dark Angels campaign (everyone choose Dark Angel successors) and ended up fucking off from doing anti-xeno duty into hunting down heretics and suspected fallen. 4. With small conversions had each player make a 10 man squad from the iron hands and played out an engagement set during the Dropsite Massacre with literally each player having 10 character sheets like they would have dataslates and literally saw how far their squad would make it through the dropsite massacre. Of the 50 Iron Hands that dropped and the 30+ reinforcements and 2 extra supporting predators they picked up from scattered elements. 22 died in the initial assault on the mainline as was 1 predator. 36 died in the trench fighting against Emperors children and the remaining died during a last stand after hearing their Primarch was killed. 5. Similar to above but set during an event similar to the Badab war with each player creating a 10 man squad from their respective participating chapter and seeing how far each made it into the campaign against chaos traitor marines.

[@BR-bn1mz]

Things to add for next episode: - Chapter Heresy, because how dare a successor-chapter Sargent lead an Ultramarine in battle - Black Shields, because this brother who specialises in Xeno psychology is totally not a Night Lord - Special Issue Ammo - How they’re basically Space Marine SAS in the books - Squad mixing, because yes this regular Squad gets to mix terminators, bikers and tactical marines - Kill Team 1st Ed Frag Cannon spam - casual racist Black Templars being too zealous to fit in with the competitive racists - MK8 armour, the first since the Heresy era - how they’re totally not like the Warrior Loges, spreading Xeno knowledge and spec ops tactics back to their chapter whilst conversing between chapters - how they have less full novels then the Soul Drinkers somehow - How many SMs are sometimes exiled to the DW

[@DaRedGobbo]

Can you explain the Black Templars bit? I knew that Marines Malevolent are not recruited by the Deathwatch (because fuck those guys) but I didn't know there were some troubles with the Black Templars as well.

[@BR-bn1mz]

@@DaRedGobbo they are but, like how they’re Techmarines can’t paint their armour fully red because their zealous machine spirits don’t like it, the Black Templars often encounter Chapter Heresy within the DW. For instance, many Black Templars may see their Sergeant with a Xeno sword and and argue that it’s Heresy, or may fight alongside librarians whom they deem as heretical, or more mutated space marines. Other chapters can have these issues, but it rarely causes as much friction as with Black Templars. The BTs May respect other Dornian successors, but place them in a squad with a sergeant armed with a Xeno blade, a librarian and a Black Dragon (whom often grow bone spikes and many outside the Space Marines question are chaos tainted) and send them all on a dishonourable stealth mission that demands they not simply shoot all Xeno on sight and maybe even work with them, and your either gonna have a Black Templar who grew past their blind hatred and zeal who can carry their more pragmatic views back to their chapter, or a lot of arguing and accusations of Heresy. Many Black Templars do serve with distinction in the Death Watch, but as even the pragmatic Ultramarines can cause frictions, it’s not surprising the Black Templars are very notable for it

[@nickel-bolas951]

And of course, the Omega Vault in Watch Fortress Erioch

[@dickc.normous6369]

They're not spreading anything to other chapters. You're not allowed to tell ANYONE including your chapter about your time in the deathwatch.

Well, not an 'outsider' *exactly*, but pretty close... Very cool concept. Also the narrator - Andrew James Spooner - does a PHENOMENAL job, you can just hear how much fun he's having with it the entire time. I thought it was a little over the top at first, but then... Well, the Wolves of Russ ARE over the top so it works out perfectly.

It never occured to me that before their fall virtually the entire (by then _much_ more numerous) Eldar race likely used to raid human worlds like the Drukhari later on. Albeit propably at a lower frequency since they did not yet have to satisfy Slaanesh.

[@Bluecho4]

@@Nickname-ef9tv My reading of the situation was that while most Eldar lived the hedonist lifestyle, the worst excesses of their empire were still not socially acceptable enough to be done openly. It's _why_ so much of it went on in Commoragh. It was the most vile and extreme acts being done in the metaphorical underground. I have no doubt there was plenty of raiding of other species going on. But it probably wasn't an activity engaged on a societal level. (Not that "a minority of Eldar raiding non-Eldar for plunder and slaves", during the height of their empire, isn't a _fuckton_ of raiding and slaving.)

To be fair, the radicalist method of studying and using the technology and knowledge found is a lot less dangerous when you deal with Xenos than when you deal with Chaos.

The worst thing that could happen if you play with Chaos, is that you put your world in the Warp XD

Man the DAY after I ask myself “Didn’t they make a Deathwatch video?” They upload this lmao

[@sebastiancowdery8352]

Thanks for the deathwatch video is so hard for me to find good lore sources some times but you guys are the best

[@mannofdober873]

"Don't vore me you fucking Dominatrix." *Suplexes Dominatrix*

[@zachjensen1290]

Congrats on the release Shy! I'll be looking into it later

[@korstmahler]

This is why chainswords stand the test of time. Build a weapon to kill Orks, and you'll never be short of targets.

[@KIPKA-g2z]

I think this is my favorite epsiode to this day. DK's progression throughout the course of this episode is amazing every time. 😂

[@DarthKnoll]

Finally, they did my chapter, as for a chapter master I don't think there is one, similar to the Black Templars they just maintain several Watch Fortresses for recruitment and training in important areas, each one acting as it's own "chapter". defiantly go over over the Black shields, I feel like they are under appreciated

[@AGrumpyPanda]

The Black Templars have an equivalent to a Chapter Master, in the form of High Marshall Helbrecht.

[@abrarnoorani8385]

All I could think reading that title was; "Yaaaas queen slaaaaay" and a deathwatch with the long glitter nails

[@ninjarmy]

Should look into the Deathwatch rpg books (like the ones they did for rouge trader and dark heresy) I bet they have a ton of info. I know Humble Bundle did a deal on all of them at one point so I bet someone has all of them in pdf form.

[@SgtSushi-YEHW]

Buying that bundle on a whim is the entire reason Deathwatch are my favorite

[@captainflapjax7240]

Good job Shy for your game! And also of course a good job on the editing!

[@eleventhprimarch5303]

"I'm based and disco-pilled!" Thank you for your generous donation to the Blood Ravens' vocabulary! I shall use this well.

[@jeffbriese875]

The mushroom Alien may be a Tau Client race. A book has a very psychic mushroom race in it that kind of fits. From the way they're described I want them as axillaries pretty badly. The book is Shadowsun: the patient hunter

[@quonlee6711]

Best deathwatch quote tht they missed "do not ask why i kill the alien rather ask why not" -Watch Captain Artemis

[@krankarvolund7771]

44:24 Yeah, it's a one-way street, DK, but this week you were at the end of the way :p

[@metallichurch]

"Some fancy Imperium tech that is just sort of unpleasent to xeno's" is not an inaccurate way to describe a Space Marine.

[@douglaura2652]

I love that DK referenced the Sabin Ghost Train suplex!!

[@be-noble3393]

Congratulations on the game Shy. Also, I’m happy I’m not the only one that remembers the movie Soldier.

[@freewave04]

Space Marine Degrassi (or Community) is a show I didn’t know I needed 33:47

[@markgresch9944]

I always thought the Death Watch was kind of the last chnace for wash out Astartes chapter. Like Astartes whose chapters got wiped out, Astartes who their might have a slight question mark due to chaos, so they were put on perpetual Xenos duty, Blood Angels who were succumbing to the black rage or Marines that were on bad terms with their chapter etc.

[@PeterReid1993]

Each chapter has its own opinions on the Deathwatch. Some it’s a high honor, others it’s a form of exile, and others just a “oh fuck I guess you can take Jim from accounting?” Kind of thing.

[@mememachine4174]

You’re podcast is getting me through my deployment

[@brokedudeforever]

Shout out to Shy's new accolade *Game Developer*

[@thehermitthetower1126]

"I don't watch our content, it's cringe" I laughed so FUCKING hard for some reason. I'm drunk RN, so that prolly tips the scale

[@nuggsy7085]

Been reading the Stormcaller series and it’s really great. One of the main characters went away for the Deathwatch and returned and he finds it incredibly difficult to be his original Space Wolf self after spending so much time with other chapters. Really cool it see it play out and how he has to readjust to life in the pack. That said, the Wolves really don’t like leaving their chapter Deathwatch or not. It’s kind of seen as “abandoning” the pack. Not all Chapters see it as a great honor. The space Vikings would rather be with their own kind, fighting and dying amongst their brothers.

[@clifdog100]

Wahoo love deathwatch wargear! Also each deathwatch watch station has its own watch master. Their organization is way more decentralized than regular chapters

[@grantmetzmaker4821]

With some heavy hitting voice talent too =D Liam Cunningham is one of my favorite actors.

[@bad-people6510]

DK accidentally calling an Avatar of Khaine and Avatar of Khorn, understandable, DK thinking an Avatar of Khaine is going to do anything but get absolutely Worfed, that's the heresy.

[@ofekgoldenberg2266]

Hey guys I love watching and listening to your content, I would love a Q & A video in the future perhaps?

[@ScryeTheMindless]

Don't forget, marines might be sent to the deathwatch as a form of soft exile too. Space wolves tend to hate sending their marines when the Deathwatch request of them... understandably. the tour for a deathwatch is onlty for a send time, but can renew their service if they desire or even pledge themselves to the DW long term. The Deathwatch RPG series was a really good look into what is basically "space marine Rainbow Six". Deathwatch is to space marines as space marines ato to the Imp guard. These guys are the scalpel of the scalpels. the next levels before they had to fuck it all up with the primaris marines.

[@Hoffman_VP]

Fun Easter egg I noticed after watching this episode: In Space Marine 2, the codenames that Titus uses for the various squads in his command during the campaign are named after the Watch Fortress worlds

[@erikjohnson7141]

They finally did my faction. I'm so happy 😊.

[@InternationalAwesomeFoundation]

surprised you didn't mention the Blackshields.

[@709mash]

DK not understanding hyperbole and figures of speach will never get old 😂

[@kalebgonzales4009]

Hey Bricky! Do a topic about psykers, navigators and astropaths. Allso read: Rites of Passage (navigator novel).

[@ethanvallance4989]

Im pretty sure the death watch got pissed off at space wolves because they kepting sending blood claws (which are young and new space wolves) when they had to pay the tithe. Most chapters dont like sending their troops away for the inquisition.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Thank you for another episode of Warhamer 40K's Lore!
