Greetings, I'm going to play some Deathwatch RPG in a couple of weeks and I'd like to gather some information about the Deathwatch and Dark Angels before that.
I'm a Dark Angel player, and I think their somewhat taciturn nature could be the most fitting for me, so I'll probably choose a Dark Angel for Deathwatch.
The problem I'm running into, is that I really don't know all that much about how Dark Angels and Deathwatch members can behave as individuals.
My knowledge about Warhammer 40k fluff mostly comes from the various rule books I got to read, a few novels (the 2 first books about the Luna wolves, Fulgrim and Legion) and some Lexicanum articles.
That's why I'm looking for books about the Deathwatch and Dark Angels so I can get a better feeling of how my character could behave.
This means that interesting characters would be the most important criteria to choose books.

Sorry if this isn't the right section but I think the lore subforum fits this topic best.
Thanks for your help !

Thanks, I'll give these books a look.
Did anyone read Xenos hunters, Warrior brood or Warrior coven ?
It seems they're the only books about the Deathwatch but I don't really know which one I should take. Any advice ?

Ive read Headhunted and Exhumed from the xenos hunters books both good stories. Warrior brood was so so
I would recomend the xenos hunters book

Theres also the mission purge mp3 which is about deathwatch i haven't listened to it but the audio dramas are normally very evocative

Thanks ! I'll give these short stories a try then.
