A fabulous one.

So a couple of questions: When you say specialise that means we can add one or two B-ranks to our chosen speciality?
Also a concept I have in mind is a puppet master, how would that translate to this stat system?
For the record while my guy is as good as done I will probably only actually post the CS on Wednesday cause I only then get access to my desktop again. I'll fiddle with my tablet in the meantime so there is a chance I'm done sooner.

Also can we change the Leman Russ crew layout a bit? It makes much more sense to have a Vox Operator/dedicated hull gunner rather than how it is now with the hull gun essentially for 'whomever isn't busy at the time'.
Machine spirits require reverence too. Have you considered applying proper sacred oils? I know for a fact Cearbannog becomes a downright moody bitch when her engine isn't properly greased up before a sortie.
This guy gets it. "Acquisitions" are the best kind of acquisitions. Unfortunately, it usually means blowing someone in supply...


Another option is to take the British Squaddie approach and make/claim it buckshee.

I don't mind you not being alright with infantry, in fact I'd say it should add interesting mechanics to the RP; feel free to carry on with the improvised profile.

When not in your tank, you'll likely be armed as the 'base regiment' of your regiment is, this could mean you'll be given a las-gun and bayonet...who knows?


Acquisitions and 'acquisitions' are both things in the IG as far as I'm aware of. Hell pointed questions as to where he even got the thing might make for an interesting plot point.

@Agent B52 That's how gunners work, yup. You get the fancy joystick that overrides the gunner joystick and I mostly sit there and scream at the loader to load sabot rounds faster and shoot things when you're more interested in hitting them with your sword. And if the loader is busy I take over radio duties while he does whatever the hell. My character is pretty good about not being a heretic, likes getting along with others, and cooks well enough when informed that it's his turn. However he's also hard of hearing and yells a lot as a result. I'll see if I can pull together a character sheet real quick...

Do you have a name for your Armoured Regiment? Can I randomly make some shit up about it?


Okay. Best to make the chain of command very clear before it causes drama IC or OOC.

As for the armoured regiment, they were based on the current Dutch Royal Army: Relaxed and easy going during down time, professionally morose and dedicated when on the clock. There are two subtypes in the regiment: Those who volunteered for a life in the IG and conscripts drafted to make up numbers and meet the demands of the tithe. Volunteers are generally seen as nutcases on their peaceful agriworld home, they are adventurous, bold and prone to sick practical jokes. Conscripts tend to be more grounded and practical with a penchant for lazing about if the opportunity arises.

Training consisted of two years of on-world prepatory training, then the standard IG 'en-route to the hellhole training'.

Regiment specific history is fairly loose: Other than that one tank engagement in Jack's Bio I don't have anything set in stone. Feel free to go nuts.
One point of note: As gunner @Sarpedon you're gonna technically be under my command. While Jack as it stands is a fairly laissez-faire he does remain steadfast in certain respects (mostly pertaining towards heresy, inter-crew bullying in any form, and poor cooking).
Just so the people here know what I'm up to: I am participating in another one of Jbcool's roleplays. I have the time for a single roleplay only, and I prefer ones that are of a slightly smaller scale than this. Have fun guys and roast some heretics for me!
@Agent B52 I'm reading all of AGP, and it's hilarious.


Also on that whole 'it doesn't make sense' thing, do realise we're about to go shoot all manner of horrifying space monsters in the name of an undead collective of Humanity seated on a gold plated life support. Most of our gear is covered with enough blessings to pass for a 21st century church. Blessings that actually work because belief and faith influence a space hell infested with our strongest emotions twisted into horrific abominations of themselves (that semi-regularly break into reality to eat faces). Our main opponents include fungus in the shape of a gorrila crossed with a football hooligan on a permanent holy war, mass migration and holiday all at the same time, supermen powered by evil voices and worse from the aforementioned space hell, dominatrix elves that go into battle with nothing but the face of their latest dead torture-toy covering the naughty bits, a locust horde on space steroids, blue skinned vagina faced mind controlled stalinist aliens, ancient robot skeletons shooting green lighting, space elves shooting space shuriken like they're space Naruto and even more mind bending horrors.

A turret that's slightly off because someone thought it would look cooler that way kinda pales in comparison.
