It is also possible to mix the games by for instance having the DH players request aid from the Space Marines, and then have the players play as the Space Marines on the mission. With a little creativity from the GM he should be able to make the story hold and make it a recurrent event every now and then. This way the players will continue to be in the same world you have formed together over many hours, and still get to experience the thrill of space marine awesomeness. These are the lines I am currently considering.

No it will not overshadow the main story that I have in DH...DW will have some offshoot time where players will get to feel uber....I will as usual work in the DW interactions to my DH.....If you read any of the DH fluff novels than you can come up with some really interesting ideas on how you can work all 3 different settings together in a long over arching adventure.....

all in all can't wait to try and out

 This is what my group has been waiting for, as for DH, we quit playing that garbage over a year ago.  As a filler, we have been playing Cthuhlu Tech RPG and have been running it quite a bit like DW, its awesome.  I hope DW is the icing on the cake for a change.  Oh and we never bought into RT either, sounds too boring, if we wanna play traders we can always break out Traveller.

My group already put DH down in favor of Rogue Trader. Dark Heresy was great fun, but Rogue Trader played more into my tendency to run games where the players have a significant amount of power. We've been playing it for at least three months, and I have no plans on putting it down for an extended period of time. Regardless, I'll be picking up Deathwatch because I've been happy with the treatment given the other two games, and because my players had an interest in mucking about with some SPEHSS MUHREENZ for a change of pace... including the female player. :)

not for me, i mean yeah ill use gear and rules and even characters from DW for DH but i will stick with DH ascended characters i prefer investigation rather than exploration or blowing stuff up constantly. DH has soo much more of a real life feel you are just a regular person in a better position than anyone else trying not to grow a tentacle in the end of it all.

Did you just say that you would stick with ascended characters and then say it has more of a real life feel?

other than being a brainwashed supersoldier who can punch through a steel wall without a powerfist? yeah i think its a bit more real it may be broken but dont mock ascention i prefer i like the broken ness of it, it makes other careers have to work harder to compete... so yeah dont laugh or mock

You mean a Vindicaire Assassin?
