Deathwatch

Legends of the Dark Millennium

by Ian St. Martin

The Deathwatch stand apart. Chosen from among the finest warriors of the Adeptus Astartes, they are an elite and secretive force, wielding advanced weaponry to wage a shadow war against the myriad xenos predations assailing the Imperium of Mankind. When a resurging threat collides with a bitter foe on the fringes of the galaxy, annihilation comes to the Kurbynola System, poised to spread into the entirety of the Emperor’s domain. With the fate of humanity in the balance, Watch Captain Artemis leads the Deathwatch into battle against untold billions. It is a war that will teach Artemis the true meaning of duty in service to the Imperium, and the price that must be paid to preserve it. Read it because
It's the perfect primer for anyone wanting to know more about the Deathwatch. And if that wasn't enough, it features a character well known to long-term fans as the first Deathwatch member ever named, way back in the 'Inquisitor' miniatures game. A true blast from the past.

Bleak would be an appropriate description of this Deathwatch tale as Kill Team Artemis learns the horror of their mission and what success will mean. Lots of nasty action with loads of xenos and destruction. Check it out.

A true example of the lengths the Imperium will go to to protect itself.

Tying in with the latest iteration of the Deathwatch this sees Artemis and his squad pulled into a huge conflict as a previous mission proves to have had horrifying unforeseen consequences. Facing both an ork Waaagh! and a tyranid hive fleet, the Deathwatch must resort to desperate measures in order to find victory.

Good story, but enough to almost put one off of the DeathWatch as an entity.
