Deathwatch kill teams combat the xenos foes of the Imperium with adaptive expertise and specialist weaponry.
They wield some of Humanity’s most highly advanced weapons alongside more esoteric equipment. Besides their superhuman strength and speed, the Deathwatch bring to the battlefield their hatred of the xenos in all its forms.
The Ordo Xenos, colloquially sometimes referred to as the "Alien Hunters," is one of the three primary sub-divisions or "Ordos Majoris" of the powerful and secretive organisation known as the Inquisition alongside the Ordo Malleus (Daemonhunters) and the Ordo Hereticus (Witch Hunters). Its purpose is to protect the Imperium of Man from all internal and external threats caused by intelligent alien species or their influence upon Humans.
The Ordo Xenos is served by its Chamber Militant, the Deathwatch Space Marines, who draw on Veteran Astartes from Chapters all across the Imperium to form the Deathwatch's kill-teams and destroy the many foul xenos threats to the survival of Mankind.**
Infernus Squads purge swathes of enemy ranks with the incandescent firestorms they unleash from their pyreblasters. They are close-assault specialists, sending jets of burning promethium into trench lines and bunkers, through dense ruins, and concealing vegetation, ensuring no foe escapes their Chapter’s fiery wrath.
Tyranids are a voracious alien swarm invading the galaxy from beyond the void. Guided by the Hive Mind, they have one terrible purpose – to devour every last shred of biomass, reconstituting it into even more powerful biomorphs and repeating the nightmarish cycle anew on the next world in their path.

We combine the heavy resilience of Gravis plate, the calculated eyes of Phobos recon, and the unwavering discipline of the Battleline. Whether the enemy is living metal or a ravenous biological swarm, this circle will break them.
