I was just about to post that news story, summoning this thread back from the depths of the dreaded second page. My copy of The Emperor Protects (and Edge of the Abyss for that matter) left the other day from Maelstrom. I should have them by the beginning of next week I should hope. Looking forward to see the stats for Alpha Legion Marines, Obliterators (!) as well as (finally) fully expanded non-Introductory rules for Genestealers and Brood Lords.

Wha...?!?
They better be still loyal to the Emperor!
And, obviously, Super Awesome!
I had no idea they'd be in there.
All joking aside, the best I can hope for is mysterious.

Comparable to marines stat wise, =/- 5-10% here and there. Less skills, bit more armoured, and different traits, including the "walking arsenal" trait which, astonishingly enough, is pretty much a conversion of the codex weapon option rules.
I think letting them have and wield 2 weapons at any given time is perhaps a tad OTT.... but that's hard to judge until one has played it a bit more.... or at all.
Only really skimmed through, but quite pleased with the way that the trilogy of adventures overlap and interact, with decisions and allies/enemies made in one part seeming to affect parts of later adventures very nicely.
That is off of a quick skim however so be warned there.

It's a roleplaying game produced under license by FFG. Each player takes the role of 1 member of a Deathwatch kill team and then you journey forth and Serve the Emperor/die horribly as determined by the adventure that the Gm runs for you all.
See here : http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=108&enmi=Deathwatch
The same company produce two more 40K role playing games where you are members of the Inquisition or a Rogue Trader ( and crew), the best part being all three games are compatible with each other.

I would love to do this kind of thing, but no one at my LGS does it. I only know of one person who will be interested (andyroo9000)- but it sounds like you need more than 2 players.

Please post them in full if/when you get the chance. I don't think your intent was to be cryptic, but the last thing we need is to have DH/ RT/ DW threads taken over by the idiocy of Codex rumour threads where no one ever just says what something is, but puts up frustratingly simple yet needlessly complicated comparisons (" He costs 1.5 Termagants + half a Land Raider! His BS is the same as a Firewarrior +1"). It's not like by posting the Oblit stats I suddenly have the whole Emperor Protects book and will be stealing precious money away from GW and FFG.

They 'might' but I'm not holding my breath. My plan is to have pathetically low expectations for Battlefleet Koronus so that I'm not disappointed when it shows up and is...100 pages long and costs $45.

Oblits are (in the usual order) 45/50/50(10)/55(10)/35/30/40/45/-
weapons are : Power fist, Eviscerator, Lascannon, Multi-melta, Plasma cannon, Twin linked plasma gun, Twin linked melta, twin linked flamer
Walking Arsenal means they can use half an action to manifest a weapon from the above list; they can have 2 equipped at any time, fire heavy weapons single handed and are assumed to have the necessary skills for all of the weapons and never need to reload.

There may be some more bits scattered across the adventures that I've not seen yet, but from the quick skim through there's very little in here about them specifically, the info block is pretty short and doesn't expand on anything we already know.
In the stats section they do gain a bonus in coercion and concealment tests; other than that...

Hope you feel a bit better soon. As for the book question... in short which 40K book doesn't contain Chaos bits to some degree?
Edge of the Abyss has a few pages on Chaos reavers, sorcery rules/talents/powers as well as stats for a few chaos things (Sorcerer, Blade-thing and Greater Daemon).
The Emperor Protects has lots of chaos protagonists in the three adventures, including Alpha Legion and renegade tech priests/tech guard.
Both look like great reads, but I've only skimmed them so far.
