Hey, Dakka. It took me a while but I finally decided to paint my small space marine army into the DeathWatch space marine chapter color scheme. I always use inquisition allies within my marine army so I thouhgt that it would be great fluff wise to paint them as deathwatch.

Now, I've looked a bit, but is it possible to get the awesome shoulder pads with the big I on it?

heres an example of said chapter : http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Deathwatch


There is of course the bitz conversion pack made by GW, but it doesn't have the Inquisition =I= on it :(

I think so in either the SM commander or the command squad box? I think it's a case of buying from bitz sellers and ebay. I personally went for the GW upgrade kit for ease and I find they look fine

Both the Command Squad and Commander boxes have a Deatchwatch shoulderpad, as does the Terminators box.

Yes, they have. In the Deathwatch variant, with a skull in the middle.

The "I" stands for the Imperium. The skull and three bars is what makes it the symbol of the Inquisition.

The Ecclesiarchy uses a skull surrounded by a halo, the Arbites a set of scales, the Astra Telepathica an eye, the Custodes an eagle's head with four lightning bolts, and so on for all the Adepti.

There are rumours floating around about Deathwatch getting some sort of release soon. I believe the current crop originated with BoLS which ordinarily I wouldn't put much score in, but plastic Deathwatch *were* a part of the rumour batch back in February which included plastic Horus Heresy, Adeptus Mechanicus and the Assassins boardgame all of which turned out to be true.
