[OOC] The Grim Crusade [Warhammer 30,000 RP]

[Hank]

I added some more stuff to the Void Stalkers' sheet because... why not?

_{This is definitely turning into one of my longest character sheets ever.}

[Yennefer]

I changed my primarchs weapon loadout on my sheet after bc's approval.

@Hank

Welcome to the downward spiral. You add a few things here, change a few things there....and suddenly you cant stop yourself and you now have your own Games Workshop worthy Legion complete with a deep history, notable characters, and you've even designed table top rules and started carving out your own custom miniatures and oh god what have I become?!

[Culluket]

I changed my primarchs weapon loadout on my sheet after bc's approval.

@Yennefer

Aw, I was wrong. Given her Termie armor, close combat specialty and cat pelt, I was sure it'd be lightning claws.

---

btw I just realized our Legions have similar tactics, but I need to let you know... Your primarch is officially the least disliked by Mon-Kal so... here is you sticker gives tiny plastic star sticker he is actually almost friendly with the quiet lady... if you are ok with that... also what she think of Mon-Kal just wondering?

@agentmanatee

How gracious! She'll be sure to wear the sticker as an extra purity seal.

As for what she thinks of Kal, I won't know for sure until we start playing! But I think they'd get along fine, they both enjoy due diligence when it comes to slaughtering their opponents, and in general it's hard to have too much of a problem with someone who has no choice but to be a good listener. The main possible source of conflict I could forsee between her and her siblings, besides the slightly cultish nature of her legion, is that it seems likely she'll be closer to Gorseval than the other Primarchs care to get -- insomuch as anyone can get close to him at all -- and that might fray some tempers, since he's not exactly Mr Popular in imperial polite society.

@Savage

Tzeentch is pleased.

[Yennefer]

@Culluket I love breaking the stereotypes, but now I kind of wish it was lightning claws lol

[BCTheEntity]

@Yennefer To be fair, she's probably strong enough that a storm shield could be attached to her arm like a combat shield rather than held in hand the way a normal Space Marine would use it, so that's at least one lightning claw she could wield. I don't know about grip strength for the power maul if she had lightning claws on the other hand too. That'd be perhaps a bit redundant, in that case.

@Culluket

I love politics.

[Yennefer]

@BCTheEntity toss a baneblade cannon on her back as well lmao

[Savage]

Also:



The dudes got freaking lightning claws AND chainfists. Its like a double fisted punch of fuck you.

[Savage]

I really really wonder how shakes hands...or uses the bathroom.

@Savage

Very carefully.

[BCTheEntity]

@Savage@Hank Or by taking off the armour first. I assume that's what would usually be done if they for some reason needed to use a normal toilet. It should be noted, though, that the systems in Mk. II and higher power armour suits actually incorporate nutrient recycling facilities, so if the Marine needs to "go", there's nothing actually preventing him from doing so in a way that avoids embarrassment, amongst other appropriate verbs.

@BCTheEntity

Well thats a bit of lore that I never knew. However...nutrient recycling? So essentially they drink their own pee.

[BCTheEntity]

@Savage Right, let me just steal some information from the Deathwatch rulebook...

Nutrient Recycling: Filters in the armour capture and purify body waste, re-constituting it into a nutrient solution that is intravenously returned to the body. This can sustain a Battle-Brother for long periods of time, but not indefinitely.

Looking into the Rites of Battle sourcebook, the nutrient recycling is wholly functional for one week whilst wearing Mk. II and Mk. III suits, and for two weeks whilst in Mk. IV and above, becoming progressively less effective over intervals of roughly the same time as its initial state of full sustenance until the Marine eats some food. In DW rule terms, that basically means "take Toughness tests every 1/2 weeks until you eat some stuff, take levels of fatigue if you fail, and the test gets harder every time it's taken until stuff is eaten", though for the sake of this RP, it shouldn't actually matter, especially since you're mostly controlling your own Primarchs.

[agentmanatee]

@BCTheEntity speaking of controlling mostly Primarchs, should we flesh out special characters if we so wish? I mean I have Mephisto who I could flesh out and add to my sheet

[BCTheEntity]

@agentmanatee Uh, you don't strictly need to do that as part of the character sheet, though I would certainly encourage introducing significant figures in your Legion other than your Primarchs, both as presences and plot advancers in areas beyond the Primarchs themselves and as NPCs in their own right. I could add in a section to the Legion sheet requesting that significant personae in its ranks are mentioned, who of course don't have to be Space Marines themselves.

Speaking of adding stuff to the sheets, a lot of you have mentioned your Primarchs being psykers, and we have at least one upcoming Primarch who's partially warp-dense, though not wholly soulless enough to qualify as a Pariah. So, I should ask: would it be prudent of me to include something in the Primarch sheet listing the character's Assignment Level? Basically, how much psychic activity (or lack thereof) the Primarch shows off.

[agentmanatee]

@BCTheEntity works for me. I've actually been wondering how the black crown will effect Mon-Kals Warp pressenece, thinking about the intense hatred the dark Eldar despise psykers...

[Yennefer]

@BCTheEntity seeing as my character is not a psyker in the least I feel nothing either way. Btw added the lightning claw as you suggested

[BCTheEntity]

@agentmanatee I doubt it'd actively affect his soul, given that he doesn't seem to have any psychic powers as it is, though I can imagine that a psyker forced to wear the Black Crown would end up losing the ability to draw on their powers. Probably in the most disgustingly painful manner possible, at that.

@Yennefer Alright, cool.
