Hello once more... the fantastic deathwatch overkill minis are coming to a Warhammer 40,000 tabletop sooner than you think... (Monday's don't have to be so bad...)
The game itself...

- There will be no 40K Codices for the Deathwatch or Genestealer Cult … at this time
- Look for Rules for both Deathwatch and Genestealer Cult to appear via White Dwarf very shortly (1-2 weeks)
- Look for Formations and more with rules that will get the models from the boxed game onto the tabletop quickly and easily.
“WD contains 40k rules for all members of the #deathwatch kill team! Plus all board game rules. Next week: 40k rules for the cult!”White Dwarf 109 Cover spotted:
Next time in White Dwarf ...
“Translation: Removable rules pages for Deathwatch in Warhammer 40,000″
So that is two different Internet sources plus a corroborating White Dwarf cover. GAME – SET – MATCH
I can live with quick 40K White Dwarf rules hot on the heels of the Deathwatch:OVERKILL, but I think GW may have bigger plans. If there is anything Nottingham can do with it’s eye’s closed it’s crank out rulebooks.
I would not be surprised to see full featured codices in the medium term. If they made a full Genestealer Cult and Deathwatch set of codices with things like inducted units from the Astra Militarum and my personal dream – Cult Limos – I can’t see how they wouldn’t fly off shelves. As a thought experiment – note that there are a larger number of units and probably more in-depth fluff opportunities with the already revealed Genestealer Cult minis than the initial Imperial Knights and Harlequins codices contained.
Focus on the Kill Team Cassius

WOW! We have 10 different chapters represented led by a “younger, unscarred” Chaplin Cassius of the Ultramarines. There is a lot to take in with these marines – each one has a clear personality and preferred weapon load out. Notice the Imperial Fist Rodricus Grytt – He’s wielding a new Single-man Heavy Weapon: a Frag Cannon! That’s typically reserved for Dreadnoughts so I can’t wait to see the rules on that one.
Never noticed the Frag Cannon until now...
I’m really hoping this Deathwatch Kill Team will get some special rule or formation to use on the table-top! They will look great in all the Grim-Dark Deathwatch Bling next to ANY Space Marine force. This is truly a Hobbyist dream come true!
Focus on the Genestealer Cult

These Genestealers and the Hybrids are a definite throw back to the old Genestealer cult.
Old Style...
They also appear (fluffwise) to be from a mining colony of some type – hence the mining laser, power hammer and power pick. Either that or they were just digging tunnels underground to better infiltrate the planet! Personally I’m THRILLED to see these new Genestealers and Hybrids – it’s be a LONG TIME coming and I can’t wait to see the rules for these Tyranids!
I also really like the addition of the Genestealer Familiars – it’s a nice nod to the duality of the Genestealer Magus. They are Human/Tyranid Hybrids and I’m guessing that can cause some pretty strange Psychic Manifestations. I can’t wait to see how these guys stack up against those Deathwatch Marines!
I have to say that I've never been really much into the genestealer cult stuff, but with this new miniatures my interest is growing... just check this two:
Isn´t the new Patriarch great... comparing with the Spawn of Cryptus...
Meanwhile, new Horus Heresy rumours are here, and it’s looking like Christmas for the Space Marine legions in plastic! Come see the latest:

A: I wouldn’t call it Calth II or a Calth sequel. It’s a boxed game during the Heresy. There are Space Marines. Similarities end there.
Just get a room you two...

Q: the_Armyman wrote:
So, is this another offering from the fledgling Specialist Games Studio or is this a GW Main Studio product?
A: This is main studio. It is in hard plastic and the miniatures can be used in 40K without conversions.People underestimate the lead time on those boxed games / starter sets in plastic.The Deathwatch game was finished by the time EF was released.
The AoS-themed boxed game you’ll see this summer was finished by the time the AoS starter was released.
The second HH boxed game this fall was finished by the time Calth was released.The specialist games studio was launched a little more than a month ago. The teased Blood Bowl stuff was probably the first work this team did after starting their new jobs in January. It will likely be among the first things they will release, and I don’t think they are aiming for 2016.
I guess that's all for now. Thank you for your time and hoping to write to you soon.
