Deathwatch - Deathwatch Relics: Astartes Omni-tool - Through the millennia the Forge Masters of Watch Fortress Erioch worked to master and perfect the technology of the Deathwatch, often creating devices far superior to those used in the Imperium at large. This is the case with the Omni-tool, an improved version of the ubiquitous Imperial Combi-tool. For all intents and purposes, the Omni-tool functions as a Combi-tool. The Omni-tool is also specifically designed to repair bionics and servitors.Arachnosavant's Illuminator - A creation of the artificer lord known as the Arachnosavant, this small but heavily shielded device imbues the specialist bolts of a Deathwatch weapon with an excoriating radiation.Artificer Armour - Crafted by the finest artificers to the highest specifications, these ornate suits of power armour provide superior protective capabilities that rival those of even Terminator Armour. Some are engraved with depictions of the vile xenos creatures the wearer has struck down during his Long Vigil.Artificer Bolt Cache - The greatest xenos-hunters of the Deathwatch may be gifted with autocalibrated bolts of exquisite and varied lethality, each uniquely forged for their personal ranged weapons.Adamantine Mantle - These intricately worked cloaks take their name from the most common variation: small adamantine scales worked into a protective yet flexible defensive covering. Similar, personalised designs exist, all using unbreakable materials to form an impressive cloak. Each one is the labour of solar decades by master Artificers, who temper each individual scale and thread for maximum resilience. Their work is then blessed by Deathwatch Chaplains before finally being laid upon the shoulders of its first bearer. The mantle protects him not just through its physical strength, but also by making his movements more difficult to predict as the opaque cloak whirls about him in combat.Augury Malifica - The Augury Malifica was crafted by the techno-seers of the Grey Knights Chapter. A heavily modified auspex scanner, it is barely recognisable as the original device. Strange attachments have been added, subtle alterations have been made, and seven rituals of detection were performed to consecrate the Augury. The result is a piece of equipment that can, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, detect the malignant auras of Daemons in the vicinity, and even, on rare occasions, predict an imminent Warp breach. However, the Augury's presence in the Deathwatch Vaults is not with the blessing of the Grey Knights, for they are entirely unaware that the Deathwatch has it in its possession. Rather, they believe it lost to the foul hands of the Word Bearers Chaos Space Marines, and have been actively seeking its recovery for many standard years. It would be most detrimental to inter-Chapter relations should the item's real location be revealed.Banebolts of Eryxia - Arch-Magister Eryxia spent her entire life in search of the perfect bolt shell. She spent solar decades working with the Deathwatch, perfecting not only the specialist ammunition of the Chapter, but also the bolter clips that dispensed them. Though few in number, some of her finest creations are still extant, housed within ammunition clips cased in platinum. Whatever the nature of the foe, just one of Eryxia's Banebolts, when delivered to the centre mass, can slay its target in a solar second.Beacon Angelis - The Beacon Angelis was devised to guide the Deathwatch to the threshold of the alien adversary. Housed within a reliquary, the Beacon Angelis calls out to the augur arrays of the Deathwatch with the voices of a hundred electric cherubim. Its summons is so strong it will draw the righteous unto its locale regardless of what darkness may surround it.Blackweave Shroud - This hypermorphic bodyglove of uncertain origin is worn beneath a Space Marine warrior's power armour, extending autonomous microfilaments that reinforce the ports to the wearer's Black Carapace. It forms a fibrous medium that helps further shield the warrior's most vital biosystems from harm.Corroded Falchion - This ornate, curving blade is a revered relic that has seen countless standard centuries of service with the Deathwatch. However, roughly fifty Terran years ago it was used against the encroaching swarms of Hive Fleet Dagon, and plunged into the toxic flesh of a Venomthrope. After the battle, it was discovered that bio-acid blood of the Tyranid organism was eating into the blade, weakening its structure. All attempts to cleanse the Falchion and halt the corrosion failed, for the acid had penetrated at the molecular level. So the Chapter Artificers constructed a sheath that keeps the blade in stasis as long as it remains inside, undrawn. On rare occasions since, the Falchion has been used in battle and the ingrained bioacid has caused swift and horrific damage to its victims. However, even a few minutes out of the stasis-sheath bring the inevitable collapse of the blade closer to fruition.Cruciform of the Crusade - In the early days of the Achilus Crusade there were many bloody battles to establish the Imperium's foothold within the Jericho Reach. In one such battle a squad of battle-brothers was dispatched to deal with the emergence of a Chaos Cult during the Argoth Uprisings. In the course of the battle the battle-brothers were forced to make a stand in an Imperial Chapel, where they held their ground for several days. At one point in the fighting a Heretic missile knocked the sacred Aquila down from the chapel's spire. Enraged by the affront to the Emperor, one of the battle-brothers dropped his weapons and hefted the eight foot stone cross and eagle on his shoulder, charging the Heretic lines, instantly followed by his brothers and ending the battle in less than an hour of bloody carnage. Since then, the Aquila, known as the Cruciform of the Crusade, has been a relic for the Deathwatch of the Jericho Reach. The cross may be carried into battle by a battle-brother or by one of their followers.Digital Weapons - Digital Weapons are concealed armaments fitted into ornamentation, bionic implants, or the knuckles of a power-armoured gauntlet. Some fire high-powered lasers, toxin-coated nano-needles or far-less common ammunition; the Deathwatch possesses a great deal of undisclosed Imperial and xenos technology.Dominus Aegis - This artefact takes the form of an ornate tower shield; when its edge is slammed down hard into the ground, it projects a hemispherical force field that protects all those within its reach from baleful energies. Carried to war by those kill-teams expected to plunge into the heart of the xenos hordes, it has saved countless lives, the bearer and his team fighting to victory as the dome-like force field keeps the worst of the alien scum at bay.Eye of Abiding - This dark bronze bionic eye appears to be far in advance of any Imperial technology, its hidden workings contain a seemingly endless array of multiwave lenses, entropic filters and pan-dimensional vitreous humours that cast aside the densest veil and allow pin-point accuracy for ranged or close combat attacks, even if the powers of the Warp are used to try and cloak the target.Fist of Dragos - Brother Dragos battled with great success against Orks, Aeldari, and even Space Marine Renegades, always seeking out the most heavily-armoured targets to destroy personally with his Combi-Melta and his mighty Power Fist. Battlewagons, grav-tanks and even Dreadnoughts were added to his tally. However, Dragos was never satisfied with the performance of his wargear. After every engagement, he would return to the Chapter forges and beseech the Techmarines to make adjustments and modifications. The Techmarines protested that such tinkering would offend the Machine Spirits, but given Dragos' victories in the field, his wishes were usually granted. His obsession was finally ended when his overcharged Meltagun exploded in his hand as he attacked an Ork Dreadnought. His Power Fist was recovered intact along with his mangled body.Firestorm Multi-melta - Created millennia ago by a forgotten Deathwatch Techmarine as a field modification of a damaged Maxima Pattern Multi-melta, Firestorm Multi-meltas trade higher energy consumption and shorter range for higher damage yield and the ability to fire short bursts. Although modifications of this kind are typically frowned upon by the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Deathwatch Techmarines of Watch Fortress Erioch have received special dispensation to perform this operation on limited numbers of existing weapons.Glorious Standard - The Adeptus Astartes have a history of many proud and glorious victories; they stand for the might of the Emperor and His triumph over His foes. The Glorious Standard recounts this legacy in a complex pattern of images and heraldry, from the carnage and fire of the Horus Heresy through the first clashes with the Tyranids to their current exploits, such as supporting the Achilus Crusade. A battle-brother that carries the Glorious Standard becomes a rally point for the Astartes, infusing them with the righteousness of the Emperor.Krixian Chainglaive - The Krixian Chainglaive combines the power of a long, curved, two-handed blade with the rending teeth of a chain weapon on its cutting edge. The design was produced secretly during the Keflan IX Techno-schism, by an unsanctioned forge-complex in the Krixis System. The templates were subsequently declared unsound, and removed to Adeptus Mechanicus stasis-vaults. This is thought to be the last actual example surviving.Master-crafted Weapon - Worked upon by a watch fortress' experienced Deathwatch Techmarines, occupying the entire lives of mortal artificers and calibrated by specially-sanctioned Adeptus Mechanicus magi, these priceless ranged and melee weapons are commissioned to honour the confirmed eradication of especially significant xenos horrors.Mag-pulse Discharger - This wrist-mounted defensive device is also a psychological weapon. The warrior thrusts his palm towards approaching xenos hordes, his disgust seeming to be a divine force driving them back as its massive electro-magentic pulse is unleashed and sweeps over them, knocking them aside.Osseus Key - The ancient clavis known as the Osseus Key is said to be the most powerful of its kind. While the other devices of this kind that still exist within the Imperium are made from sanctified platinum, the Osseus Key is made from the knuckles and phalanges of deceased Imperial Fists heroes that fought in the Horus Heresy. It was scrimshawed with inhuman care and imbued with the mightiest Machine Spirits of the age. Only those Deathwatch officers who have proved their valour beyond all doubt are entrusted with the Osseus Key, for no portal can bar its bearer from entry, and no xenos machine can stand before his wrath.Plasma Gun 438 - The weapon denoted 438 in the Deathwatch Armoury vaults is a Plasma Gun of ancient, pre-Heresy design. It has a noticeably different muzzle casing than that of later patterns and exposed cooling ducts. While the gun is undeniably a powerful weapon, its provenance is entirely unknown. As such, many of the Deathwatch refuse to contemplate its use, for fear it has been in the hands of Traitors, tainted with the blood of brethren.Pleician Tome - The Pleician Tome was created by a senior Tech-priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus, as a portable font of certain archives, templates and pieces of ancient lore. Even to a trained eye, the information is a seemingly random collection, with no easy means of navigation, and so it takes much study to glean anything relevant to a particular task. Indeed, only those with a wide knowledge of Machine Spirits and engine lore have any hope of understanding the information contained within. However, those with patience and the appropriate skills can find secrets of great use within the datacore.Deathwatch Relic Blades - A standard Power Sword is no better than a flimsy metal spike in the humbling aura of a Relic Blade. Remembrancer works from the Horus Heresy depict these magnificent Power Weapons in the hands of their heroes, and accounts can be found through the ages of how their wielders turned the tides of key battles. Few enough have survived the millennia, and only a precious handful of those are reserved for the Astartes of the Deathwatch. Relic Blades take various forms, but are always a two-hended great weapon of some fashion. They require two hands for even a Space Marine to wield. Most Relic Blades have been in the service of the Imperium longer than the watch fortresses that maintain them. Some predate the Horus Heresy, originally wielded by the first and most powerful of the Space Marines during the Great Crusade, only to be passed to the founders of the Deathwatch at the dawn of the Imperium that exists today. It is seen as fitting tribute to those ancient heroes that these giant powered blades are still used to defend Mankind to this day.Redemption of St. Sulech - A Deathwatch kill-team posted to the isolated Imperial colony of St. Sulech was caught up in the fighting when an Ork raiding force attacked. Delaying their extraction and the completion of their mission, the Space Marines chose to join the defence. Brother Frosius, a Devastator from the Imperial Fists Chapter, deployed in the highest tower of the Imperial shrine with his favoured Heavy Bolter, while the others remained below. Thanks to the devastating bursts of accurate fire from the tower, the Orks were defeated, but not without the loss of the rest of the kill-team. Upon his return to Watch Fortress Erioch, Frosius was severely censured for the decision to stay and fight. To this day, his Heavy Bolter remains a symbol of honour, but also a symbol for the disregard of orders.Remembrance Shield - Roughly four hundred standard years ago, the Deathwatch was engaged in operations against the Eldar of Craftworld Ulthwé. The xenos had been launching sudden raids in the Slinnar Drift Star Cluster, then disappearing before a military force could be mobilised. However, when a kill-team secured information about a forthcoming attack, the Chapter was able to lay a trap. The next Eldar raid met not disorganised Guardsmen, but a large force of black-armoured Space Marines. The majority of the raiders were cut down, and the few survivors vanished back into their webway portals. To commemorate this crushing victory, a combat shield was fashioned, incorporating a number of large, deeply coloured jewels, taken as trophies from the fallen xenos. The shield must offend the Ulthwé Eldar greatly, for there have been numerous attacks over the intervening years apparently designed to seize the shield and kill the one who bears it. So far, all have failed.Righteous Fist - A weapon from the first battles against Hive Fleet Dagon, the Righteous Fist is a massive, pitted and scarred Powerfist reputed to have crushed the skull of a Carnifex with a single blow. Repaired by the Techmarines of Watch Fortress Erioch, the Fist excels at taking on large targets, where its oversized grip is perfect for massive necks and limbs.Salvation of Correus - Deathwatch Brother Correus was seeking information about a high-ranking Dark Eldar known as Lady Malys, when he was captured, his mission compromised by a false lead. After many weeks of horrific torture in the dungeon of a Master Haemonculus, his tormentor bound Correus onboard a grav-craft, and forced him to watch a hideously devastating surprise attack on a Space Marine force. When another battle-brother was dragged, unconscious, onto the craft, Correus broke his bonds and grabbed the new victim's Combat Knife. He plunged the blade deep into the heart of the Haemonculus, before leaping to the ground. He was found several solar hours later by Space Marine Scouts, still clutching the weapon, and eventually returned to Erioch. The Combat Blade meanwhile was tainted with whatever vile concoction passed for blood in the Dark Eldar's veins. The slightest scratch from it now causes nightmarish visions and agonising pain.Shard of Bekrin - Among those defending the Shrine World of Bekrin from the invasion of Hive Fleet Dagon was Tarvos, a Blood Angels battle-brother in the service of the Deathwatch. During the evacuation of the world's clergy, Tarvos gave his life defeating a Hive Tyrant in a glorious display of heroism. Though his body was not recovered, his broken Power Sword was returned to the armoury of Watch Fortress Erioch. Remarkably, the weapon still hums with power though half its length is gone, and those that look upon its stained blade at once feel the power of the brother who once wielded it. The blade has since become a relic of the Deathwatch in the Jericho Reach and has found use both as an icon of valour and a weapon, especially against the Tyranid swarms.Skapulan Bolter - The Deathwatch of the Jericho Reach is strangely silent about the history of Watch Station Skapula, and how this lethal Bolter remains from the abandoned station. Techmarines fortunate enough to examine the advanced weapon frequently debate the number and nature of Machine Spirits necessary to achieve its flawless performance, but the most widely accepted theories place a union of over one hundred Machine Spirits within the casing of tenebrous alloys. In addition to accuracy and power unrivalled in other Bolters of its size, the Skapulan Bolter integrates a Fire Selector, a Targeter, and a melee attachment equivalent to a master-crafted Combat Knife.Spear of the First Vigil - This ancient Vigil Spear was presented to the first watch masters of the Deathwatch at the time of the Chapter's Founding. Wound around its shaft in nano-script a molecule thick is the earliest known and most extensive example of the Litany Xenomortis; some verses are so archaic and esoteric that their true meaning is now unknown.Skull of Brantor - This Servo Skull is unusual in that it is built around the cranium of a Space Marine, three service studs clearly embedded into the brow. Brother Brantor was a highly skilled tracker and marksman, and his current position allows him to continue his service to the Deathwatch. The skull is fitted with a low-noise anti-grav unit and various scopes and tactical sensors. As such, it has proved extremely useful for covert reconnaissance, and is regularly requisitioned for field missions.Soul Fortress - This psychoreactive coif reinforces the psyker wearer's natural repugnance for his foes into a radiating barrier that rejects insidious mental incursion and dampens the spiritual manipulations of the xenos. With the Soul Fortress, xenos-hunting Deathwatch Librarians have delved into the dens of psychically-gifted alien horrors without fear of taint, their minds girded against the auras of soul-draining enervation that surround certain psychic xenos. It is worn in addition to the Librarian's Psychic Hood.Tome of Ectoclades - This grimoire, bound in the skin of the alien, holds the most powerful truths the Deathwatch has uncovered about its xenos foes. The bearer can ascertain the vulnerabilities of those he is about to face -- such knowledge has in the past saved not only the book's custodian, but entire worlds.Thief of Secrets - The Power Sword known as the Thief of Secrets is inhabited by a Machine Spirit (artificial intelligence) that has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. When it tastes the vital fluids of an enemy, those liquids are absorbed into the blade and codified by the honeycombed array of logicum cogitator cells within. The biological secrets of the impaled creature are then analysed by the blade's Machine Spirit, allowing its wielder to exploit the stolen knowledge from that point on.Triflame Vambrace - This gauntlet was forged and first worn by a Techmarine serving in what is now the Orpheus Salient. The Deathwatch has long utilised shot selectors to deal with the unending diversity of aliens' deviant designs. This forearm-mounted flamer embodies the same idea: a variable feed of dihydropromethium to a trifurcated ignition chamber allows versatility in how the rare fuel is expended.Vhorkan Pattern Auspicator - This omnikinoptic device was the only one of its kind to escape the purge that saw its creator executed for tech-heresy. Telian Vhorkan, an accomplsihed scopticrat, created this scryer unit by incorporating his unwilling underlings into the auspicator's enmeshed logic drives. From there, they plot oracular dynamics and feed the prophetic data to nearby receivers to increase their accuracy.Watcher's Veil - This ancient archeotech device projects an aura of nebulous mental confusion; enemies find their gaze sliding away from the bearer and his adjacent allies, unable to mentally focus. The densest xenos lairs can then be breached, their ranks of sentries and outer defences bypassed to reach a priority target within.
