Warhammer 40.000 Roleplay (Anything goes at this stage)

So, I've been looking for a good RP for a while but none have really peaked my interest as of late. (And those that did died a quick death) I love 40k, it's just a shame that there arent a lot of RPs about it. So why not make one myself eh? At this stage I dont really have an idea of what to do. Well, that's not really true. I've got a ton of ideas, just dont know which one to pick.

And that's where I need you guys!

I was thinking of several different RP ideas.

The first would follow an Imperial Guard squad through some war torn world and would be a highly realistic (as far as 40k is realistic) military RP. Think the Only War RPG mixed with Gaunts Ghosts. We'd be stuck in the trenches, forming bonds, of friendships and maybe even romantic relations and fight side by side while we are under constant danger of a sniper, a stray artillery shell or one of the countless horrors that the universe houses.

My second idea was to do a RP along the lines of Dark Heresy. We'd be a small group working for an inquisitor and uncover plots against the Imperium and then purge all those responsible... Or join them.

A third idea is a bit inspired by Rogue Trader. In this idea we'd be part of a "merchant" ship and we'd deal in not-so-legal supplies and artifacts. This would probably allow for the most freedom in the diversity of our characters and could be the most lighthearted one as we're not oppressed all the time by the big I.

And finally... Why focus all this time on being part of the Imperium? Why not carve them up slowly... Or chop them into tiny bits very quickly. Maybe blast them away with foul sorcery or give them some of papa Nurgle's blessings? Yes, I am talking about an RP where we play Chaos agents, be it Cultists, Chaos Space Marines or something more... Daemonic...

These are some of my ideas but I dont know which one to pick. Hence why I would like to see if there is any interest for any of these RPs.

So here's my question to all of you...

Is anyone of you interested in any of these ideas?

(If you have another idea of a 40k inspired RP, please share it here. There are no stupid ideas!... Unless that idea is to play as the Emperor, in which case: GET OUT!)

Warhammer 40k: The Emperor's Hands (An Imperial Guard special forces RP)

Are abhumans (and crossbreeds) allowed?

Survival | Dystopian | Not for the weak

This looks like a really nice and original setting. I know I am pretty late but I hope that there's still a spot free. :)

Suicide Squad: The Graveyard Shift

This looks like fun. I'm interested :)

Warhammer 40k Guardsmen RP?

Yey! That makes 4 in total!

We're on a roll! :P

The Nemedian Chronicles: A Hyborian Age/Conan RP

I've got a few questions about the CS if you dont mind me asking...

Could there maybe be some sort of appearance tab added to the CS? I like to go a bit in detail about the appearance of my characters and finding an image which fits is kinda hard. :P

And a second question. Arent Origin and History the same thing?

Just some questions :)

Fictional storybook characters RP - Mature

Looks interesting. If more people will join then you can count me in :)

The Nemedian Chronicles: A Hyborian Age/Conan RP

Hopefully we can get this off the ground... Time for me to read up on the lore of Conan again :P

Warhammer 40k Guardsmen RP?

I'm fine with the idea of mixed regiments. Although it's a bit of a lore stretch, I can get why you would want to play something like this (more diversity between characters)

So yeah, I would really love to play this game, although litterally being a copy of the Deathwatch would probably be a bit boring. Maybe have the unit be a part of a commander/commissar's special forces unit or something like that? (Please no Inquisition T.T)

And finally I would agree with @Whoami that the Tanith shouldnt be allowed because of how few they are in number. I would also like to add the Death Korp to this list as they are not really known for being sociable and thus would only be interesting in combat scenarios, but not in the RP itself. But hey, that's just my opinion.

The Nemedian Chronicles: A Hyborian Age/Conan RP

I'd be willing to give this a shot.
