Renown

Renown is a ressource that is accumulated as the exploit of your character or of your team get acknowledged by your peers and superiors. You will get renown point for special distinctions and for successfully accomplishing objectives. Your renown may also go down in some occasion, living through your failure can be costly with the high standards the Adeptus Astartes are hold up to.

As your Renown grows, you will be trusted to carry in the field the most sacred and powerful relics of the Deathwatch's armoury.

Requisition

Before every mission, each member of the Kill-Team is awarded a number of requisition point to ask for special gear, ammunition and weapons they deem necessary to accomplish their objectives. The Space Marine renown determines what gear he will be entrusted with.

Mission with more objectives or bigger threats will give more requisition points.

Members may pool their requisition for access to bigger and better equipment. Investing with a full backpack of kraken or metal storm round greatly increase the team effectiveness against ennemies with superior range or numbers or getting a meltabomb or two may allow opportunities to accomplish more objectives or open new paths in a mission.
