    Hello everyone. I have a basic idea for a 40K RP and enough to start a proper OOC but I wanted to do an interest check first. I'm new here and aren't quite sure how many faithful servants of The Emperor/foul xenos/heretics and traitors fallen to Chaos there are who know how to type on a keybord and make interesting words. The basic premise is we are all sent to explore a shiny new space hulk that has appeared in (system name here) and are to loot its treasure for the glory of (insert appropriate planet/empire/chaos god here). But the whole thing gets sucked into the warp just as we get comfortable killing each other and we have to put aside our bolters/shurikan catapaults/shootas/chainswords/power weapons/powah klaws/wrist mounted vortex missiles that have boobs and are on fire to find a way back to realspace so we can live to kill each other another day.

    So, who's interested?

    Drepends what races do you plan on having the situation for all these races and what is all the basic stuff we can bring?

    Well, first off I'd recommend you bring some more punctuation lol. Imperial, Astartes, ork and eldar elements would all be drawn to a massive space hulk for their own reasons. Daemons and turanids like to make homes in these things so they'd be gribblies we'd eventually find. As for gear, this is a large and dangerous unknown so your races would come fairly heavily armed. As for the situations and reasons I'd imagine they would be as follows:

    Space marines, impetial guard and adeptus mechanicus: exploration and salvage. They would all probably work together in one large expedition or several smaller coordinated ones.

    Eldar: Stop the apes from getting their shiny toys because there's something really valuable here.

    Orks: space hulks are practically amusement parks with lots of good loot and fightin'

    Daemons and tyranids: nice to be back in realspace. Ooh, look. Lunch is here.

    Yoy could be any of the above besides daemons and tyranids. I think the Imperium, orks and eldar could work together for just long enough to get home before they start shooting each other again if they were all trapped together and had to cooperate to avoid death. At least the imperium and the eldar would and maybe the orks if they were properly motivated with a fight at the end.

    Do you allow Khorne berzerkers in this RP? I'd be interested in attempting a chaos character.
  6. Simus Starcaller Active Member

    That, my fallen brother, would be very interesting. Perhaps you could be on of the hulk's "residents". Or Khorne dropped you off whilr you were supposed to be raiding because he thought it was funny.

    Would a genestealer cultist be possible ? Just curious because the RP interests me if not i'll probably be a Guardsmen
  8. Simus Starcaller Active Member

    How would that even work? I like the idea of Space Marines and Guardsmen having to rely on each other but a genestealer cultist would be silly buggers.

    Well genestealer cultists have the skill of hiding in plain sight as Guardsmen and other members of Imperial society and maybe patriarch/magus/ whomever deems the time as not right to reveal themself ? If thats too dar a strecth a simple flamer guardsmen will do

    I'd prefer a flamer guardsmen. That's just a touch too far-fetched for my first time here
