    On today’s cast we conclude our coverage of the Death Watch,

    the special forces of the Space Marines. 

    We open with some of our favorite weapons and equipment of the Death

    Watch.  Namely we focus on how

    specialized an borderline heretic their equipment and weaponry are.  We also focus on how much of a nightmare it

    Episode 70 - Death Watch pt 1 - Who are the Death Watch and how does one become one

     

    On today’s cast we start our coverage of the Death Watch,

    the special forces of the Space Marines. 

    We start with a quick overview of what the Death Watch are and then dive

    a bit into their two different founding stories (one was way better than the other).  After that we talk about how a Space Marine

    joins the Death Watch, both the official and common practice as well as the

    Black Shield style.  From there we focus

    a bit more on how the Death Watch function as a fighting force in the imperial

    forces, with their smaller and more specific goals and actions to achieve great

    success via tiny events.
