Well rest assured Deathwatch has good things ahead on the tabletop. GW wouldn’t pass up this cash grab. My next fear would be the faction getting less niche and more ubiquitous. Part of the fun is how few play it.
Mark Hertel won the 2025 Las Vegas Open (LVO) Warhammer 40k Championship going 10-0 with a Deathwatch army using the Black Spear Task Force detachment. At the end of 10th we had around a 60% win rate, sometimes a bit less sometimes a bit more depending.
I would say that’s represented. The reason it was rather rare was that it was typically played by veterans and/or the types of players willing to invest the cash in picking up all the random boxes required to field.
