He will bring the foe to battle in a manner and time of his choosing, never himself caught unready or ill-prepared for the task at hand.

There weren’t manybrand new ‘Nids miniatures leading up to the launch, with the notable exception of the bat-winged Parasite of Mortrex.All companies, except the Scout Company, maintain a small fleet of Rhino, Razorback and Repulsor armoured transports.

In structure, the Deathwatch does not adhere to the strict organisation of squads and companies that the Codex Astartes dictates. It is also not uncommon for the Reserve Companies to form hard-hitting specialised forces in their own right. The 9th Company is the Fire Support Company and is the most heavily equipped company in the Chapter, and its heavy cannon-toting Astartes provide unparalleled fire support to their more lightly-equipped comrades.Their pre-Christmas preview articleestablished early on thatthe codexwould offer “more attacks, higher damage, and lethal combat output across the board”. Thesupplement isfull of the usual army-specific datasheets, rules, and bespoke Crusade content for the scarlet-clad sons of long-lost Sanguinius, the Angel, along with a good chunk of lore and background information on this popular chapter. Though for all its multitudinous topics, the most lasting and contentious decree of the Codex Astartes was that the existing Space Marine Legions be broken up and reorganised into smaller, one-thousand-warrior organisations known as Chapters. The Codex also states that a Space Marine should incorporate his company's heraldic colour into his armour, displaying it on the trim of his shoulder guards. In addition to their rank, captains of the Chapter are still often assigned Space Marine Master titles which include other functional responsibilities.
