Description


"Remain ever stalwart and let none escape judgment. A single man’s failings may wreak havoc on the galaxy." –Inquisitor Ghent

The Emperor’s Chosen is a supplement for Deathwatch dedicated to those rare Deathwatch Space Marines who ascend to the status of veteran.

This detailed tome lets players delve into the history of the Jericho Deathwatch and honor the heroic veteran Battle Brothers that have come before them. As part of a veteran Kill-team, Player Characters can assume a Heroic Legacy and combat their foes with tactical precision and martial excellence. Then, the included adventure invites Kill-teams to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and complete the mission that laid them low!

This is not a complete game. A copy of the Deathwatch Core Rulebook is required to use this supplement.
