Teodor,

In the name of the God-Emperor, greetings.

I hope that your posting in the Cadian Sector is keeping you busy. No doubt there is plenty of work there. I am sure you
are doing well in keeping the foul heretics at bay.

I write to you regarding the movements and actions of one of our infernal enemies - a fallen Astartes. His name is
Heosphoros, a Word Bearer. A Dark Apostle. We have found evidence of his passing through the Gothic Sector, and he has
left a string of ravaged worlds in his wake. Thirteen worlds in Port Maw Sub alone have fallen to heresy at his instigation.
I've attached a recording of the heretic holding some sort of public oration on one of the worlds.

It is disturbing that Heosphoros is making his way toward the Cadian Sector, as we have received reports of other
heretics heading along similar vectors, though none as dangerous as the Dark Apostle. Watch the void, Teodor. I feel
nothing good can come of this.

The Emperor protects!

Micah

[Attachment]

"On this day, I declare that all persons held as slaves by the unjust Imperium, shall henceforth be in rebellion against
the Imperium, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and by my supreme authority as Apostle of the true
Gods, shall obtain and maintain their freedom by any means necessary.

"And I hereby call upon the people so declared to be free to enjoin in violence against their oppressors, who have
until now gone unpunished for their misdeeds; and I recommend to them that, in all cases, to not cease in their
unswerving battle for freedom until the hated Imperium is a smoking ruin.

"And upon this act, an act of justice, warranted by my authority as Apostle of the true Gods, I invoke the gracious
favor of the Almighty True Gods, may they guide our sword and gun to defeat the false God-Emperor.

"Now, brothers, take up your knives. Take up your guns. Take your freedom from those who have so jealously kept it
from you!"

those aligned to another God gain a –30 Ritual Modifier. Altars can qualify as Glorifying Acts at GM’s discretion.

the attempt, and, if successful, he can spend an Infamy Point to mark the target(s) as Faithful. Faithful followers gain +10 to Opposed Willpower Tests to resist hostile Interaction Skills.

Ignorance, the root of all evil
The Clawman



Just you wait 'til it's your time
The clawman will be after you
And with his claws, look how they shine
He'll make mincemeat out of you



Many priests of Mars were lost during its civil war. Not all of them died. Some were turned to Chaos, fallen from their original purpose of venerating the Machine God. The Clawman was one of these. When Chaos swept the red planet, many were destroyed outright by its sheer power. The Clawman was astounded by the sheer power of this new force. In all its years of life, it had never seen anything like it. It became enraptured with the potential of Chaos, abandoning its previous researches in favour of exploring this new energy.

It didn't take long for the Warp to exert its influence upon the tech-priest. The Clawman became convinced that the power of Chaos stemmed from fear. It became obsessed with extracting the deepest, darkest horrors from its victims and subjecting them to endless torments. It soon turned to psychic means to extract the information it needed, and augment the dread that it inflicted. In its relentless quest to perfect its methods, it began moving across the galaxy, using its new-found psychic powers to bewitch and confound its prey into enabling its next attack. So consumed with its purpose was it, that it forgot its name and its former life, taking on its new persona, perpetuated by fearful citizens of the Imperium.

In its travels, it heard whispers of a great army amassing. It knew that there would be much terror to be harvested in the coming war, and so made itself available to the grand architect of this Black Crusade.

Hey I'm dumb for not noticing this till now but you need to fix your sheet. Specifically you put down manmode tzeentch as an advanced class. Advanced classes can't manmode. Also you start play unaligned irregardless of what you pick, later you can align to tzeentch if you want.

Fixed. I'll need new mutations, though.

The story so far: We've taken out Cadia's orbital defenses and stormed the planet, giving ourselves a beachhead. Abbadon came and gave us a thumbs up, now we're going to take the capital.
