Maybe I just want to be happy, huh?! Maybe I want my life to not be a trainwreck for five GOD DAMN minutes?!
Honorable Inquisitor Lexington,

In response to your request, and after due consideration of your superior record of service in the Ordo Xenos, as well as favorable reports from Lord-General Rega, it has been decided to grant you the authority to command a Kill-Team of Deathwatch Astartes. This carries with it the associated duties and restrictions established with the Wienand-Warfist accords, ratified and made supreme law by the High Lords of Terra.

As there is no extant team in need of command, you shall be allowed to draft your own squad (henceforth designated "Kill-Team Sigma") from the provided dossiers. The final composition of Kill-Team Sigma is dependent upon final authorization by the Watch-Captain, and may change without prior notice due to necessity and circumstance.

In addition, the Watch-Captain has given his blessing to the dispatch of Kill-Team Sigma on the proposed reconnaissance mission, assuming it can be assembled in a prompt fashion. Should time become a factor, he reserves the right to re-assign the mission to a team and command of his choosing.

In the name of the Emperor,
Scribe Gurix

++ Thought for the day: By the manner of their death we shall know them. ++


-----------------------------------------------

What is this even?
This is a Deathwatch RPG campaign, almost entirely conceived as an off-week game for the already existing In the Shadow of the Eye of Terror game.

Who's it for?
Well, people from the other game have first priority to get in, and enough have voiced interest that we have a full party, so... We're probably already full up? Maybe one or two additional, we'll see.
We could use a couple more dudes!

How we doing this?
Discord for audio, Roll20 for the table. The plan is every Sunday we don't have the other game, we'll have one of these. The time slot seems to work, so we'll start 9-10am PST GMT-8/5-6pm GMT+0 unless we want to alter that.

How do we character?
Standard character creation, with the point allocation option. Let me know if you want to be a custom chapter, we can work it out. Other than that, have at it, as far as background the only limit is you're new to the deathwatch (maybe a mission or two).

"Bastion" (Sebastian Gustavus van Dorn)

You can see why he's called the "Bastion" - he's utterly massive, probably the largest Space Marine you've ever seen, wrapped in ancient, gore-stained armor that groans as it struggles to contain his bulk. He looks like he could breach a fortress with his head - with his helmet off, he looks like he has.

He's young by the standards of the Deathwatch. Driven. More than just a hunger for glory, he assaults every enemy like he's avenging a personal slight, grudgingly, like it's a sliver of some larger insult. He's only grown more intense since induction into the Deathwatch.

His craggy face relaxes from its perpetual scowl as he salutes you. It's a horrifying expression, but he does appear to be genuinely pleased to meet you.
"I am a master of the pain glove, but it's nothing compared to the training of the Deathwatch. I look forward to serving with you."

Going to volunteer to be Leader next game, and since we know we'll be fighting Tau, we should go with the Oath of Knowledge and its sweet, sweet +10 BS&WS vs a Xeno species.

Also, in the core book, all the servitors require Distinguished Renown.

Ooh, I like +10 WS. I like +10 WS a lot.

Out of curiousity, would that +10 also apply to Kroot/Vespid/traitor Humans/etc? And I've upped my Agility and gave myself the Frenzy talent which seems appropriate.

Just a bit quiet over here since it's the off week, but I still want to say that that's a fine looking character, welcome to the team. I got some PMs indicating we also probably have an Iron Hands Devastator incoming too!

quote:

People tend to avoid Brother Kalderich. Some people don't like his staring, unblinking bionic eye. Most non-Astartes don't like his ancient, scarred armor and its uncomfortable association with the Horus Heresy. Some people are leery of the Iron Hands in general, disturbed by their endless pursuit of the annihilation of their own bodies. Some don't avoid his chapter necessarily, but simply don't appreciate the way he talks excitedly about losing limbs and even hopes to have his body destroyed so he could be given the great honor of being interred in dreadnaught armor, forever bringing violence to the enemies of the emperor.

Brother Kalderich doesn't mind. He needs no complications. He has what he needs. He has his clan, whom he is honored to represent in the Deathwatch, showing their dedication to the eradication of weakness. He has his weapons, admirably unfeeling tools of great destruction. He has his armor, a scarred and battered reminder that flesh will bend and break, but iron will endure. He has his hatred, cold, dark, and perpetual. And now in the Deathwatch, Kalderich has the greatest opportunity he has ever had to do great harm to the enemies of the emperor. He is happy to be at the tip of the spear.

Now, early in his sworn term, he appreciates being surrounded by strength. He treats any who go into battle with him with simple respect. His enemies are strong, yes, but he and his is allies are stronger. Kalderich will show them what strength means.

I MAKE FUN OF QUEER STORYGAMES BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY LIFE THAN MAKE OTHER PEOPLE CRY

I can't understand these kinds of games, and not getting it bugs me almost as much as me being weird
Heads up, next session I will be in Dover, UK. Attendance hinges on being able to find some wifi and a place to game.
I'm probably not going to be able to see the maps, either.

If I can't make it, assume Bastion lost the key to his Pain Glove and is waiting for the Techmarines to forge a new one.

I noticed that you've got your bonus to Fel from your armour wrong. You get +15 from the Mark, and another +5 from one of the histories, rather than +15 total.

Edited, thanks. That'll come in handy whenever I get around to leading.
"Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as Bastion puts on his helmet. Now they're free to imagine being lead by some ancient warrior of great renown, instead of Bastion.

Hey, so to save a bit of time and make sure we accomplish as much as possible this Sunday, you guys are getting a basic mission briefing now so you can choose your Requisition in advance.

+++++

Members of Kill-Team Sigma,

Your presence is required on Serendipity 1723-21. Approach in stealth, and do not attempt to make contact with the local authorities or PDF. They are to be considered possibly hostile, and fully expendable. You will be given a sealed information canister to be opened upon planetfall, which contains the identity of a friendly asset in the planetary capital, and the method of contact. They will brief you on the full mission details.

For your preparations, in addition to said expendable local human forces, expect to come in conflict with Tau elements. Infantry, drones, and battlesuits, with light vehicle support are all possibilities. Entering an established base, by stealth or overt assault, is likely to be required. Under expected circumstances, extraction will not be long in coming.

Always faithful,
Inquisitor Lexington


+++++

Imperial Records: Serendipity 1723-21

Serendipity is a world on the edge of Imperial space, so named as it was the nearest habitable world when a long-range scouting vessel experienced drive failure. The ship managed a landing, and the crew founded a small but stable colony that has persisted to this day. Due to its remoteness and lack of any substantial tactical value, the planet's defense is a low priority for Imperial Navy vessels, and it suffers from occasional pirate raids.

+++++

...aaand that should be enough to get the ball rolling. Turns out I read Requisition wrong last time, and it's supposed to be per-marine, so you guys get way more! Not that you ended up needing it.

Anyways, let's go with 75 Requisition per marine. Go nuts.

Anyone want me to pick up stuff for them with my requisition? My character's rather straightforward, and may end up getting 15 chainswords if no one stops him.

EDIT: K, here's what I'm thinking -

Chainaxe
Chainsword x2
Astartes Flamer
Frag Grenade x2
Krak Grenade x2
Melta Bomb x2
Photon Flash Grenade
Auspex

75 Requisition, on the dot.

Melta Bombs are 25 req each, how are you affording all that? Are we wanting to go loud, or subtle? I'll take a missile launcher if we're happy with running brawls, it'll help a lot on suits.

Edit: Wait, my bad, there's a version in Rites of Battle that's 12, I assume you're using them.

Stealth? That's when you don't bellow at the top of your lungs, correct? What a strange concept. I guess I will not be taking the back banner. :(

I don't need much either, I kill dudes with mind bullets. Let me know if there's something you want, I'm just grabbing random things that might be useful.

12 Auspex

Yeah, I pretty much just bought off the living Errata which lists them at 12.

Also, why are you carrying, uh, a chainaxe and three chainswords? Are you going to juggle them?

Maybe take a bunch of grenades to go with the jump packs, so you can fly over Tau and poop grenades on their heads like giant pigeons?

Power Fields. In case any break mid-mission, I am gonna need spares. And I got a few extra grenades, plus Melts Bombs and a flamer to rain death upon the Xenos scum.

I'm not going to step on Rip_Van_Winkle's toes and grab a missile launcher unless people think two heavy weapons is a good idea:

20 Cameleoline Cloak
5 Stummer
15 Mag Metal Storm Rounds (Bolter)
15 Mag Kraken Rounds (Bolter)

Got 20 Req left over at the moment.

... I mean, we don't know what the mission is, and grabbing a missile launcher may not be the *right* choice, but we can be pretty sure it won't be the *wrong* choice though.
