THE HERALDRY OF THE HONOURED
The stations of the Deathwatch are many, and neither the Inquisition nor the Watch Commanders themselves know of
them all. Some are only a few centuries old, formed in response to emergent xenos threats. Others have legends that span
millennia, their oaths of vigilance and ancient heraldry borne upon proud standards in their Sanctum Bellicos.

Talasa Prime is the capital training
world of the Deathwatch not just
a space station, but a whole planet
sited in the realm of Macragge. The
lords of Talasas Deathwatch keep
their own counsel, though their wars
against the Tyranid hive fleets and
the Tau race have proved critical.
The Praefex Venatoris keep watch
over a string of alien portals
used by the Commorrite Eldar in
Segmentum Obscurus. Their forces
are constantly on hair-trigger alert,
for they must move fast if they are
to save the teeming human worlds of
Syracia Thrive from alien piracy.
The Onyx Patrol is not a watch
station so much as a fleet, for its
quarry is the nomadic Craftworld
Eldar. Its web of informants crosses
Segmentum Solar, and its Warp
drives are kept hot. Since the patrols
inception, Eldar sightings in the core
sectors have become rare indeed.

14
The Ghoul Stars harbour hidden
threats, from the emergent Barghesi
to the awakening Necron dynasties.
Fort Pykman favours Malleus tactics;
it stands ready to demolish ancient
sites should there be even a flicker
of suspicion they are linked to tomb
worlds or alien worldnests.
Furor Shield monitors the Ork-held
Octarius sub-sector, into which
Kryptman of the Ordo Xenos
misdirected a tendril of Hive Fleet
Leviathan. Both Tyranids and Orks
adapt under duress when the victor
of this ever-escalating war emerges,
the Shield stands ready to slay them.
15
The Eye of Damocles is a vast watch
fortress that monitors the borders
between Imperial space and that
of the usurper Tau Empire. Its Kill
Teams specialise in vertical assault.
Dominatus teams will often strike
from Corvus Blackstars to turn one-
sided firefights into bloody melees.
