If the armor was damaged, he would be issued replacements from Deathwatch stores that were generally MkVIII. The "traditional" lore was that a marine showed up to the Deathwatch wearing his armor, got some upgrades (DW shoulder pad, sometimes up-cycled to MkVIII armor if his chapter plate was particularly unsuitable for whatever reason), and wore that armor throughout his service and upon return to his chapter kept it. (Chapter dependent, but that's the idea anyway.) It's one of the reasons the tactical marine command set comes with a single deathwatch shoulder pad.Īs for the armor as a whole, that's iffy with the new lore of specific deathwatch armor.
This might also highly depend on the chapter.įor some chapters, like the Space Wolves, serving in the Deathwatch is considered a reprimand and they therefore will probably not wish to display that after they've returned.Īll the former deathwatch marines keep their deathwatch shoulder pad, and wear it as a point of honor. As we don't have a lot of examples of ex-Deathwatch Astartes, it is unknown (to me) if they can keep it, it requires maybe some special merits to earn this or all Space Marines having served in the Deathwatch will get it and are maybe even obliged to wear it. They therefore (can) keep some part of their Deathwatch armour, identifying those that have served in the Deathwatch. His left shoulder plate has clearly the inquisitorial I of the Deathwatch:
Kazarion is a Blood Angels Sergeant who has recently returned to his Chapter, after serving in the Deathwatch.Īt S1E3 at timestamp 3min, 25 sec, the following appears: One of the seargants, Kazarion, used to serve in the Deathwatch: We have one example of this in the Warhammer+ series Angels of Death, following a Blood Angels squad.
