They're obviously busy with the beta testing. Hopefully the game will be released before we know it. I'm dying to play this.
We're getting pretty close to Launch day, the Beta testers are providing great feedback every day. Just because its been a little quiet lately, here's a character card.
Looks great but would an honour guard really join the Deathwatch? The Honour Guard are basically Calgary's bodyguard, aren't they? Seems a bit unusual ... but why not? Certainly looks cool to see an Honour Guard in Blackish grey rather than blue.
They do join the Deathwatch, Yes. Don't worry, we're true to all the Lore. We'd have it no other way. If your interested, here's a snippet. . At times an individual Ultramarines Honour Guard will take the Apocryphon Oath and undergo a secondment to the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, known as the Deathwatch. This is a momentous occasion, for it signifies that the Honour Guard is present as a champion and representative of his entire Chapter. The Oath he takes rests not simply on his own honour, but on that of every Ultramarines Battle-Brother. Grave bonds of honour and duty link the Ultramarines with the Deathwatch, and have done so since the earliest days of the Conclave of Orphite IV. The Ultramarines and the Deathwatch have fought alongside one another in numerous battles, and in so doing forged unbreakable bonds of kinship. There are times when an Ultramarines Honour Guard will take the Apocryphon Oath when the Deathwatch finds itself facing a foe which its leaders known to be a figure of special hatred for the Ultramarines, such as the Tyranids, and consider themselves honour bound to inform the Chapter. On discovering that some ancient enemy of the Chapter is abroad, the Ultramarines might despatch a strike force to fight alongside the Deathwatch, but if no such force is available, a single Honour Guard is despatched to join the Deathwatch and represent his entire Chapter in the battle ahead. His is the duty and the honour of fighting the final confrontation and striking the last, killing blow, for the glory of the Ultramarines and all their kin.
So sorry if I'm forgetting if previously mentioned but how does this game work, does it have a map and quests like WHQ or missions like Hunters? Also does it have different gear to find and equip to characters? My favourite bits on these other than the TBS are the RPG elements with character progression and collecting gear, especially in WHQ. I do actually wish you just made a WHQ 2 but in hoping this will still be awsome.
