Aothaine Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 So I know that most chapters tithe their champions to the Deathwatch. Do you think they would ever tithe a dreadnought? I'm thinking of painting up my Deathwatch Dreadnought as a Flesh Tearer Dreadnought but it will have to cool plaques as it served in the Deathwatch. Do you think this is something that could have possibly happened?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 1d4chan's Lamenters article states they have a Dreadnought serving in the Deathwatch, who believes himself to be the last living Lamenter in the galaxy. (IIRC, this is from Fantasy Flight's 'Deathwatch' RPG, not from Games Workshop's own Codices.)

Bonzi Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Deathwatch has dreds so some chapter must tithe them. That or if someone falls while in Deathwatch maybe they can get interred in a Deathwatch Dred. Either way it's totally plausible for there to be a Flesh Tearer Deathwatch Dred.

Lord Marshal Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Going by the RPGs - I've not read the new codex so correct me if I'm wrong - they don't tithe Dreadnoughts to the Deathwatch. Marines serving as part of the Deathwatch who're wounded accordingly are placed in one and then the Deathwatch seeks permission from the parent chapter to have 'em serve there permanently. So, he could've been a Flesh Tearer serving in the Deathwatch, ended up wounded in it's service and tossed into one of their Dreadnoughts.

It would have been pre-devastation of baal. Awesome! It sounds like this could actually work! I think I'll be adding it to the ETL this weekend! Thank you everyone!

Leonaides Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The lamentors dread is in black library stories too, fwiw. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347186-deathwatch-and-flesh-tearers-inquiry/#findComment-5079363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea-People Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 There are dreadnoughts in the Deathwatch, but I don't think chapters send dreadnoughts to the watch, and dreads don't return to their Chapters ever. If one is interred in a dreadnought during Deathwatch service, they stay with the Watch forever.

Claws and Effect Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 There are dreadnoughts in the Deathwatch, but I don't think chapters send dreadnoughts to the watch, and dreads don't return to their Chapters ever. If one is interred in a dreadnought during Deathwatch service, they stay with the Watch forever. This. As far as I know all Deathwatch dreads were interred while serving. No Chapter would send a dreadnought chassis to the Deathwatch. They are far too precious and venerated to risk not getting them back.
