Very preliminary salty type of rumors coming out about a Deathwatch standalone game that could go into 40k proper...
Look for the Deathwatch to arrive in the Grimdark in 2016. They will make their initial appearance in a boxed boardgame like Execution Force / Betrayal at Calth. The Deathwatch models are based around a new Deathwatch upgrade sprue. The sprue will contain items such the distinctive shoulderpads, and specialist equipment and weapons of the Deathwatch. The Deathwatch sprue will be bundled atop the Sternguard base kit in the boardgame. The game will allow for you to equip your Killteam’s weapons and equipment in a variety of ways with rules to support them all. As with Betrayal at Calth – these are standard 40K models fully usable outside the boardgame. There will be an opposing force the Deathwatch is pitted against with their own models in the box.

I suspect it will most likely be Orcs or bids they're up against. Any other xenos doesn't seem like proper death watch target

I would bet on orks, they'd fit very nicely into a BaC like board game, some boyz, some nobz, maybe the black reach chopper, a killa kan, a meganob.
It'd be a good "horde" style
I'm actually really excited now, this could be a sweet dungeon crawl like the gears of war game, with waves of monsters threatening to overrun you and your friends.
Also that upgrade sprue is awesome!
I suppose I could just play the gears of war game with 40k minis... that's a really good idea actually

from Faeit: (oh by the way - plastic lictor kit? I'm in!)
"Rumors of a Deathwatch game coming are taking more shape now with additional rumors of a stand alone box game that pits the Deathwatch up against a Genecult. The rumors today came from anonymous sources on Bols, but when coupled with past bits, and an additional snippet of information left on Faeit 212, it seems like this could be on the horizon.
I would be up for a game like this if it comes around.
Please remember that these are rumors.
via Larry Vela on Bols A source who spoke to BoLS on condition of anonymity, says: Opposition force for the Deathwatch in the Boardgame is Tyranids. Look for Genestealers, Warriors, Lictors. There is a “box only” Lictor Character. As with Betrayal at Calth – these are standard 40K models fully usable outside the boardgame. There is chatter of potential Deathwatch op-for xenos expansions for the boardgame (Orks, etc…)
Previous info as listed on Bols Look for the Deathwatch to arrive in the Grimdark in 2016. They will make their initial appearance in a boxed boardgame like Execution Force / Betrayal at Calth. The Deathwatch models are based around a new Deathwatch upgrade sprue. The sprue will contain items such the distinctive shoulderpads, and specialist equipment and weapons of the Deathwatch.

As with Betrayal at Calth – these are standard 40K models fully usable outside the boardgame. There will be an opposing force the Deathwatch is pitted against with their own models in the box.
On Faeit 212 Squiggly has been leaving behind small snippets of information for a few months, buried in the comment section. This one came up when a Bols source chimed in declaring tyranids and Astra Militarum were coming in jan/feb.
via Squiggly in the Comment Section on Faeit 212 a few weeks ago. Jan is AoS, no 40k til Feb 2016. The only Tyranid release of the near future is the Deathwatch vs GC game which will be released Q1 2016. "

I imagine this boxed set selling well so long as it has rules for using deathwatch in regular games of 40k and/or a special nid formation using the models in the box.

oh man... those sculpts... I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing's happening yet. The first box set game I'll be buying.... perhaps multiple copies....but the price...yikes! From Faeit: "Finally what a lot of people have been waiting for!, Genestealer Cults, and the leaked images are out. Magus, Primus, Aberrants, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation Hybrids are all shown in the leaks, including a couple of the Deathwatch Characters that are coming with the game. That is a lot to reveavl! Now if we just get the full contents down we can tell what we get for the price that was revealed earlier. Here is where I believe the leaks originated from. m.facebook.com/Warhammer-40k-Campaigns-518558484848481/and here posted by aracerssx credit to mymearan (dakka) imgur.com/a/aRJEwAgain here via Lady Atia war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/489 " And again from Faeit on the price: "So what is the new Deathwatch: Overkill game going to cost someone? From solid sources. via anonymous sources on Faeit 212 The price of the box is $165 US. "

I have to admit, the Patriarch is one heck of a cool model and I really like that they kept the models true to the original artwork.

Wow... just wow... I'm loving these. Agree that they did an amazing job sticking to the original concepts. The Magus is exactly how I remember it, only in higher definition.
