Deathwatch: Overkill

About this board game

Deathwatch: Overkill is a two-player board game that plays in about 60 minutes, pitting elite Space Marines against a Genestealer Cult in a deadly confrontation.

The Deathwatch are humanity’s power-armored champions, recruited from the ranks of the Adeptus Astartes for the most difficult missions in the name of the Emperor. One player commands a squad of these elite marines, supported by one Terminator and one White Scar on a bike.

Opposing them is a Genestealer Cult: an infiltration force of the Tyranid Hive that has entered human civilization and interbred to create monstrous hybrid cultists. The Genestealer player controls a powerful Patriarch, a Magus, and a horde of 37 Genestealers ranging from purestrain creatures to fourth-generation cultists.

• Deathwatch forces: a squad of marines, one Terminator, and one White Scar on a bike

Every side brings a distinct force to the table, from the highly trained Deathwatch to the numerous and varied Genestealer Cult. The opposing players use dice and cards to direct attacks and drive the action as the two forces clash.

With its direct two-player conflict and sharply contrasting armies, Deathwatch: Overkill presents a focused battle between humanity’s elite defenders and a dangerous Tyranid infiltration force.
