The Deathwatch is a unique and specially trained Space Marine Chapter that dedicates its every hour to xenos hunting.
Known as the Shield that Slays, they are the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, charged with protecting it in its search of information, containment, and ultimate destruction of all xeno species. Consisting of Battle-Brothers drawn from many Chapters, the Deathwatch operates from Watch Fortresses and Watch Stations across the whole of the Imperium.
The swiftest of the Primaris Space Marines, Inceptors fill the role of spearhead troops. They hit the enemy in one sudden and overwhelming blow, leaving them reeling as follow-up waves of Space Marines drive home the attack.
Equipped with heavy jump packs and reinforced Mk.X "Gravis" Armour, Inceptors are dropped from low orbit onto the battlefield below. Leaping from the assault bays of low-orbiting attack craft, these daring warriors brave the fury of re-entry. If the enemy detects their approach at all, they will often do so under the misapprehension that the Inceptors are stray warheads, or castoff debris from orbital combat. Some squads intentionally make planetfall amidst such falling debris. By the time the foe realizes that they are under attack, the Inceptors are already upon them.
