tl;dr Veteran Space Marines tasked with fortifying a shithole savage world in preparation for a Tyranid Hive Fleet !!!TIME AND DATE NOT SET - VERY FLEXIBLE!!! In Deathwatch, players take control of Space Marines in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, where there is only war. When one thinks of being a Space Marine, one of the God-Emperor's chosen sons, one thinks glory. Heroic charges. Brave attacks and battle valor. Giving life and limb to foul xenos in the name of the Imperium. You, unfortunately will not being doing that. At least not right now. You are Space Marines of the Deathwatch, and as such you are tasked with jobs that would not be given to other Chapters. Usually, they do not have the stomach for it. This time, it is because none would lower themselves to such work. You, a kill team of the deathwatch, are being dispatched to a planet in the farthest reaches of the Ultima Segmentum, a feral world out of the Imperium's reach. Psykers have reported a Tyrannid Hive Fleet approaching, and the planet, Sych, is their door to the Imperium. Therefore, in the ten years until the Hive Fleet arrives, Sych must be made a bastion of the Emperor, able to resist the Tyrranids for as long as required. You are the best the Imperium can spare. Go, Space Marines, and defend Humanity. (The game will be extremely free-form, with the players having almost unrestricted actions in a hostile environment. The game will be unlike other deathwatch games in that supplies and materiel are extraordinarily rare, if not entirely impossible to find. Players will be cut off and be forced to be quick, intelligent and cunning to survive, thrive and succeed in preparing and eventually holding off the Tyranid menace Players will be Rank 4, with a great deal of initial access to the resources of the Deathwatch, and will be able to prepare supplies for their expedition to a limited extent)
