Publication history.
In 1989, Games Workshop released the two-player board game "Space Hulk". The game proved popular and also won an Origins Award for "Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Boardgame of 1989". and a series of extra scenarios and rules appeared in the magazines "White Dwarf" and "Citadel Journal". The earliest articles from "White Dwarf" were collected and published in 1990 as two separate expansion packs — "Deathwing" and "Genestealer" — and most of the later articles were published in 1991 as a book, "Space Hulk Campaigns".
"Deathwing" was designed by Richard Halliwell and Jervis Johnson, with interior art by Tony Cottrell, Wayne England, David Gallagher, and Richard Wright, and cover art by Chris Baker. 
Reception.
In the April 1991 edition of "Dragon" (Issue #168), Ken Rolston complimented the original "Space Hulk" game for its "fast pace of play and lots of action and mayhem." About the new expansion, Rolston commented that "The "Deathwing" set contains some useful supplemental material and more scenarios."
