Faction: Various Loyalist Chapters

What it’s about: The Deathwatch is a kill-team comprised of the best of the best from various Space Marine factions. Their job is solely to wipe out all xenos under the direction of an Inquisitor who generally forms the Deathwatch squad. This particular Deathwatch squad is nearly none of those things. Inquisitor Dagovar assembles a Deathwatch of maniacs, mutants, and members of factions from the Cursed Founding to storm the fortress Vorago Fastness to find a particular alien relic.

Why you should read it: Stories about the Inquisition are always fun, because they’re almost always mysteries. But with this one, we get to see a darker, rather sinister side to the Inquisition. It also has a rare glimpse into the creepy underbelly of the Space Marines, the ones that are generally hidden away from the public.

Additional reading: If you want to learn more about the Deathwatch, which are pretty fascinating, then look no further than the [easyazon_link identifier=”1784966223″ locale=”US” tag=”chocoboyoga-20″]Deathwatch Omnibus[/easyazon_link].

Keri

It was all thanks to a little game called Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine that alerted Keri to the intricate world of WH40K. She's not into tabletop gaming, but she loves extended lore. After getting through just one omnibus, it was all downhill from there. She can't leave the local Citadel without $150 in books.
