Warhammer 40k: Sons of Titan - A Grey Knight RP

[Jb]

Greetings, one and all, and welcome to this interest thread for a pretty self-explanatory RP; if you've read the title then you already know where I'm going with this.

I'm looking for a small band (a 'brotherhood', if you will) of around 3-5 other writers/players to join me in a tale of heroics and furious battles against the forces of Chaos and plausibly others. The Great Rift has shredded reality and torn the Milky Way in two, servants of the Ruinous Powers pour into realspace in all forms, the venerable Ordo Malleus - and by extension 'their' militant arm - coming to a true test, possibly the largest since their inception by the Sigillite himself.

Although we will be taking on the roles of what are essentially hyper-psychic mythological heroes of the Imperium it will be through the writing and a continuous plot-line that I hope to show why the Grey Knights are truly some of the most badass warriors - yet some of the most invisible - in the entire 40k galaxy.

If you're not going to disappear on me, are comfortable in an Advanced writing enviroment, and like the sound of any of the above, then please feel free to say so in this thread or better yet join the Discord server here: discord.gg/ySX3qWS

As always, the Emperor Protects.

EDIT:

Andrey asked a reasonable question, and that is at what stage of the GK life-cycle we shall begin, and I can say between completing their initial trials and their first action together as Battle-Brothers.

[Andreyich]

In it to win it.

Blessings be, Brother.

Mite b cool. I ponder though that Grey Knight may be rather dry characters to accurately roleplay, since they have their memories and personalities scrubbed as part of their initiation.

@Dead Cruiser

They have their memories scrubbed, true, but not necessarily personalities; then again, I also see this as a chance to build up a personality for them from what - as you rightly say - is in essence a clean slate. What I'm trying to say is that they're no more or less 2D than any other Astartes, or soulless like the Exorcists.

Either way I'd be happy to have you on board if you so choose, I realise this isn't for everyone.

[Jb]

Only looking for a couple to get us going, can I not tempt anyone for heroic shenanigans?

[BCTheEntity]

Sure, I'll give it a go. Are we only doing baseline GK, or will you be allowing specialist positions like Purifier as well?

[Bork Lazer]

Are we considering Matt Ward canon and the part where the Grey Knights bathed in the blood of the Sisters of Battle to ward them from chaos?

@BCTheEntity

To begin with we're all 'baseline', but if you're pure enough, well...

Apothecary, tech-marine etc are still all fine.

@Bork Lazer

Going to say no, although I am still extremely tempted.

[Andreyich]

As of the 8th edition Grey Knight codex most of what Matt Ward wrote went through soft retcon

My knowledge of 40K is somewhat lacking, however your RPs tend to be fun, and I am willing to learn as I go. Count me intrigued by this concept.

Glad to have you aboard, don't be afraid to ask any question/s if/when you think of them.
