I don't. It's my servitor. He's the one with the heavy firepower.

Where are the character creation rules? Been a while since I've made a new one.

Im not the GM, but it looks like detpacks are gonna rock against vehicles. Str 8 + 2d6 means a GUARANTEED glancing hit against a vehicles rear armor, even at the lowest result; anything higher is a penetrating. Against a vehicles side or even front armor it's likely a penetrating hit, too.

I don't think detpacks are meltabombs. I think they have their closest parallell to the det charges that catachan death worlders use; which strikes me that they're going to be incredibly dangerous to throw.

...Maybe Ill just... pass my detpack off onto one of you, when the time comes.

Page one, my friend.  Things to fill out are at the top of page one, classlist and armory are roughly halfway down the page.



Yes, you can get two plasma pistols.  As for what it would do... well... you would have two plasma pistols, and both would run the risk of Getting Hot.


Yeah, demo packs are basically what S*S said they were.  They're just a very powerful shaped charge, where the entire blast is directed upwards and out, instead of wasting kinetic energy by blasting the ground.  Also, it's less a melta, more a melted.  The detonation liquifies a metallic substance that spreads out in the shaped explosion and pretty much fucks everything.*


Yep, basic guardsmen get a tank-top with the word "armor" written on it.

I keed.

Though not by much.

Basic infantry gets breastplate armor and a helmet, and the rest of their armor is padded.  This gives you a massive +2 to your armor saving throws.



* this is my twist on the item, and does not necessarily reflect the actual WH40K game mechanics and description.

Regiment - 2nd Agrian

Yeah, this is only the second time that the guard has conscripted from the planet Agrus.

Company - To be decided by you guys.

This is because I can't think well at the moment and am being lazy about naming the company.

Platoon - also to be decided by you guys.

See above.


As for the plasma... yes.  As I said, this particular outfit isn't getting the best equipment.

It's all in the post about classes. I was confused too until I read the actual post instead of just what I was looking for.

No, I think he just types up your bonuses after you've done your character. I didn't know what the stats for ratlings were, before I made one.

Name: Commissar Alexi Petrov

Age: 47

Class: Commissar

Physical Description: Alexi is a tall, powerful man dressed in the typical Commissar garb of a greatcoat and hat. His right arm, however, is completely encased in a polished, ornate gauntlet. The left half of his face is, for all intents and purposes, missing, and the entire left third of his head is horribly burned. For this reason, he almost always wears at least a half-head mask. His undamaged right eye is a dark brown, and what black hair hasn't been burned from his scalp is cropped short.

Personality: Intense and judgemental. It is Commissar Petrov's duty to ensure loyalty to the God-Emperor of Mankind, and he is not known for his forgiveness or compassion. It is not his wont to fraternize with his assigned unit.

Background: Alexi Petrov joined the Imperial Guard in the First Agrus Conscription, and quickly demonstrated himself to be a skilled, dedicated soldier. He rose within the ranks, eventually leaving Agrus IV for further training and placement in a Stormtrooper unit. He bonded well with his squadmates, and they purged many mutants and heretics side by side. However, after a particular assignment responding to reports of minor Chaotic presence on a poorly-guarded Imperium world, Alexi stumbled upon an unexpected heresy: his squadmates were planning to assassinate the renowned Commissar Holt, who was currently attached to their unit. There was clearly no time to launch a proper investigation, so Alexi acted swiftly and without mercy, taking his traitorous squadmates by surprise and executing them... except for Rem Lithia, who managed to escape after he impeded Alexi's aim by way of a hellgun blast that just grazed his head. Commissar Holt was impressed by this act of uncompromising loyalty, and subsequently put in a recommendation to the Commissariat that Alexi be given training after his recovery. Motivated by this vote of confidence and the pain of such a personal betrayal, Alexi took to the Commissar training with a fervor. Upon his full graduation, he received a distinctive power fist from Commissar Holt, which has subsequently become a trademark of sorts. Now he is returning to Agrus IV for the first time in many years, but now with the task of ensuring faith and duty among the ranks.

Wargear:

Laspistol - holstered at the left hip

Officer's Saber - sheathed at the right hip

The Fist of the God-Emperor - A mastercrafted power fist given to him by Commissar Holt in honor of his service and loyalty. Commissar Petrov unconventionally prefers to use his Fist for executions.

Awards Earned:

2 Macharian Crosses
1 Medallion Crimson
1 Honorifica Imperialis

The Macharian Cross is awarded to leaders who show brilliance in tactical and innovative thinking.  Adapting and evolving battlefield strategies based on enemy movement is no problem for these officers.  As such, squads under their control gain an additional  +1 to all WS and BS rolls.  (this does not stack for having multiples of these awards)

The Medallion Crimson is awarded to anyone in the Guard who suffer horrific injuries but do not have their faith in the Emperor shaken.  This is proof that their devotion to the emperor is complete and without question.  Anyone in line of sight to Commissar Petrov gains +1 to their initiative and their armor save bonus.

The Honorifica Imperialis is the highest honor that can be recieved by all ranks of the guard.  Those who have this award show exceptional mettle in combat.  Their presence is an inspiration to the soldiers around them.  Anyone in line of sight to the bearer of this award gain +1 to their leadership rolls.


Wargear:

Laspistol - +3 Str.  Targets gets full benefit of their armor bonus.

Officer's Sabre - Typical officer's saber weapon.  Uses same strength profile and stats as the commissar himself.  Target gains full benefit of their armor bonus.

Fist of the God-Emperor - This weapon is inscribed with the ancient tenants of glory to the Emperor.  Mastercrafting gives you +2 to your WS to hit, and the powerfist itself doubles your strength bonus to +6 when using the weapon.  Being so powerful, it is also fairly slow, and this weapon will always strike last in close combat situations.  Targets hit by this weapon do not get an armor saving throw.  If wounded, so much physical and internal damage is done to them that they will die, even if not immediately.  If a strike with this weapon is parried by an opponent, the opponent will live, though their weapon is destroyed.


Special Rules:

Summary Execution - If the commissar witnesses a failure in leadership of a particular squad, he may execute the commanding officer and take control of the squad himself.  Knowledge that a Commissar is looking over your shoulder causes you to fight harder.  This adds +1 to leadership and initiative rolls for the entire affected squad.

Commissar Alexi Petrov is Approved by the Census Officiatus of the Imperium, and is not someone you want to fuck with.
