Will You Join the Deathwatch and Face the Rising Tempest?
May 10, 2012 by brennon
I have faced the Tau first hand in my Deathwatch Campaigns and they are certainly no push over. So when I saw that Rising Tempest, a Deathwatch Campaign was now available from Fantasy Flight Games I had to pause and offer up some words for protection to the Emperor...
Rising Tempest pits your Deathwatch team against the mighty forces of a Tau incursion as it threatens to boil over and threaten the entire of the Jericho Reach. Will the spies and sympathisers within the Imperium topple all your well laid plans and bring you to ruin?
Here are the three parts to the campaign...
- The Depths of Treachery—The Kill-team travels to the iron heart of the Canis Salient to eradicate a subversive xenos presence imperiling the might of the Imperial war machine. But stirring in the chaos of sedition and catastrophy, they’ll stumble upon something much darker.
- Assault on Javar Nil—Pursuing clues of an ancient evil, the Battle-Brothers find themselves caught between the factions of a holy schism on the shrine world of Eleusis. There, they must safeguard the blessed core of the Achilus Crusade.
- Exterminatus—Struck at the very bastion of their power, the Kill-team must brave the horrors of the Hadex anomaly and return to a long-lost citadel to save their galaxy from utter ruin!
This campaign could prove to not only satisfy the chainswords and bolters of your Deathwatch team but also their Role-Playing finesse.

curious, but I havent liked the deathwatch books much at all – far too much focus on chaos/traitors (wth?) and in-game xenos(fair enough though) for my taste, when I really only care to read about the cool xenos like Enslavers and Umbra ect. If they do a book detailing more about stuff like that though, im In.
Well the main aim of the Deathwatch is to take on Xenos threats – but there are other enemies in the Creature Anathema for Rogue Trader/Dark Heresy which can aid in your gaming. It’s certainly been fun for our gaming group.
Maybe you’d be interested in Black Crusade?

Ah, I don’t really play RPG’s – I just used to buy those sort of books for the backround really, which I found to be quite enjoyable but I found the DeathWatch ones I read had too much chaos/traitor stuff in them and “known” aliens – allthough I can forgive the known alien stuff since the DeathWatch do fight them – but what I was wanting to read about was the more “Unknown” ones, as I always envisioned them more specialised going up against stuff that is almost unknown or newly discovered – a bit like bounty hunters in the… Read more »
I fail miserably at roleplay so might be avoiding this until a point where I can learn how to conduct myself 😛
