If it is a thing, then every chapter is incompetant, as the Blood Ravens have managed to be "Gifted" all of their greatest relics, including Rogal Dorns Power Fist XD
There are a few exceptions about the weapon fluff. Like Avitus' Heavy Bolter, which he used to kill about three hundred or something Guardsmen with during the events of Soulstorm. And Godsplitter, which was given to Gabriel Angelos during the first game.
But most others are pretty silly, like what you just said. I remember a power axe called the Fang of Fenris or something, a Salamander made axe, supposed to be for the Space Wolves. But the Wolves denied it and it somehow ended up in the hands of the Blood Ravens.
Or that Bolter that was used by an Adeptus Custodes during the Horus Heresy.

Granted, most of what I am spouting is secondary canon, considering that it's in the games.
In Dawn of War II: Retribution, Adrastia can get an Eldar Harlequins blade which states in the description that it was gifted to the Imperium. It's description is something along the lines of:
"It's rare for the Eldar to allow humanity to handle their technology, but for unknown reasons, sometimes the doors of the Black Library open to allow some relics to be removed for Inquisition study."
Essentially, they give humans technology under the permission that they use them on Slaanesh and its worshippers.
Also, according to a friend, Eldar Life Debts are an Oldhammer thing, this was from the days when an Human/Eldar Hybrid could become the Ultramarines Chief Librarian. Also, these were the days when the Ultramarines were a successor chapter from the 3rd founding, that had been founded to replace Legion XIII, who had turned traitor with Horus.
Rogue Trader was fun, but I appreciate that it's not a thing anymore. I'll completely rework the character. Would I at least be allowed to be the Tank-Hunter of the group, though?
Tank-Hunter is acceptable.
And I don't consider the weapons in Dawn of War as a viable source of serious canon, the overall plot though, I will take as canon. Just not the fluff about weapons.
Congratulations!
Our first mission is a complete failure!
Not only did we not identify the source of the suspicion, we didn't even confirm what kind of cultists, if any are at The Gallery!
In fact I bet we took less than half an hour in The Gallery before failing!
In the mean time, who is this Alpha character? What will Zhevon do to Rithy? Where is the Safehouse? Why does a safehouse even exist, if we have just arrived not mere hours ago?
Find out next time, ON CHASING CHAOS!

(Sacrifice goats to the dice gods, so that we may not immediately fail our next mission due to RNG when someone does wrong.)
((Now I need to go do other behind the scenes stuff. Also expecting fairly short posts, since there's not much to go on after my own, so short posts are acceptable.))

CRUEL GODS OF THE DICE HOW I LOVE YOUR FICKLE NATURE.
You can make your grand entrance at the next encounter, perhaps. It shouldn't be too long from now.
As soon as the vortex closed, the Gallery became silent. It was as if it had suddenly become vacant, the only people there being the Inquisitor and his retinue. Once the vortex closed, Zhevon stood up and yanked on his sword, but it was firmly lodged into the ground. He sighed, and left it there for the time being. After a moment of cleaning up, and the banishing of the last statue, Ben walked over to him and helped Zhevon up.
"I told you, sir. She has no regard for our safety. Here she is almost getting us killed! Three times now, every single time she's tried to use her powers down here she's put us in danger. You, me, the planet, the mission. It's becoming very hard to trust her sir, even on your word. We were not so poor off in that fight that we needed her to try and kill us all." He picked up the nullrod from off the floor, "We need to keep this on right now, we cannot trust her. If you ask the group, I'm sure some of them will agree. Do not misunderstand my words, I don't dislike her, but I'm starting to fear for my life around her wanton misuse of power." Ben held the null rod out to Zhevon, looking at him.
Zhevon took it and turned it off, looking at the obsidian rod for a moment, in thought.
"The nullrod causes mind degradation as a long term effect of its use." He said quietly, holstering it. He hated to admit it, but Adrianne was becoming sort of a loose cannon. He glanced around and noticed that even the pedestals that the Statues once stood on were gone, this meant that they had packed their bags and left their nest, likely never to return. If there were any other Statues in the Gallery, they would have likely left as well. And if the Statues have left, the Cultists likely would have as well. He groaned quietly.
He put a finger up to his ear.
"Alpha, come visit us and bring a truck... Let's have Cube Bravo run interference... Yeah? Good."
It was only seconds later that a truck pulled up to the front of the Gallery, large enough to fit the entire group. A man opened the door and walked to the group. He was wearing a suit and a coat, along with a hat. With the darkness, it was difficult to see his face, or to see that if he was armed or not.
"That's Alpha."The man bowed, "Everyone except Psyker Valenthin will go with him to a safe house. There, you will rest, refresh, rearm," He looked at Stukov, "And heal." He then looked at everyone, including the newly arrived Sister of Battle, "Understood?" Zhevon spoke with an air of impatience and annoyance. Before Aviza could leave, Zhevon pointed at her, "I will be speaking with you later." He turned away and opened his communications to his Vindicare, "James, you can stay or join them. Though our enemy has likely vacated this area."
Alpha stepped up, "Heya. Welcome to the ground team. I see some new faces, that's always good." He spoke in a familiar northern accent, "Don't worry Inquisitor, I'll make sure they don't touch the brandy." He saluted the armored man, "Come come, let's get in the truck." He walked over to it himself and got into the driver seat. The truck was fairly large, and more like a limousine than a truck, with an expanded interior. The seats fashioned in the typical limousine fashion. White leather seats, a bucket of ice resting on the floor with several bottles of ginger ale.
Not waiting for the group to clear out, Zhevon walked to Adrianne. When he was standing in front of her, he looked to the collapsed wall, then back at her.
"I said a small one." He said, unamused.
Alpha sat in the driver seat, checking his rear mirror occasionally. The man casually tapped on the steering wheel.

The Gallery

The Safehouse

Real tempted to pop in and make that wall regret its life decisions
Unfortunately the Dice Gods gave me a low number.
So you don't get to destroy any walls.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to deny you again.
Any sword made to be unwieldy is not a proper weapon and thus should not be used on the battlefield. Biting Blades included. Especially Eldar weapons. Any two-handed swordsman would know how to make that two handed sword into a whirlwind of death, and any swordsman would be wise to practice in some sort of wrestling. Any Knight who does not practice wrestling wrestling is a failure of a swordsman. Assuming your character is not a failure of a swordsman, taking out the common Heretic would be like swatting a fly, since your Biting Blade would be like a whirlwind of chainsaw death. Actually, taking out five common Heretics would be like trimming your front lawn with a lawn mower, if they are all armed with small knives and swords and are as suicidal as Cultists usually are. Here is a video of a two-handed sword is like.

I have also never heard of any sort of Eldar life debts, nor have I heard about them gifting weapons to any humans. To make sure, I asked a couple of people. They all have never heard of an Eldar life debt, and neither have they heard about the gifting weapons deal.
I'm okay with with the Biomancy and the Plasma Pistol, or a Melta Pistol equivalent. I am also alright with the Admech background and the acceptance of using Xenotech, given your reason.
What I am not okay with is the Eldar Biting Blade and Fusion Pistol. Particularly with the Biting Blade. Psykers typically carry some sort of staff to amplify their abilities, I would accept a spear or pole arm, as it's basically a staff with a fancy tip. But with the reason I stated earlier, having never heard of any life debt or weapon gifting, I'm having a hard time accepting your load out. Then there's the balance issue. In a one on one fight, with only the swords, a skilled user of the Biting Blade alone would make my own character be extremely careful. A skilled user of the Biting Blade with Biomancy abilities would make him just give up and run, that's how powerful your combination of Biomancy and Biting Blade is.

Posting tomorrow night, there will be grills.
Both OOC and IC. IC grills will be harsher though.

Looks good. Is there any specific way you wanted to introduce Cadel or are you fine with Starfire Company just sending him in a dropship to meet up with the rest of the team?
preferably sent in when things get hairy for the rest of the team
