In the 41st Millennium there is only war.
A filthy xenos cackles at you as is zooms past you on its Reaver Jet Bike. You recognize the symbol on the side. Sons of Commoragh. A weak band of mercenaries here on the Nexus of Shadows. Since you have been captured not a day of rest. Constant battles in the arena. Clawfiends, Razorwing swarms, and unseen things in the shadows that only made a sound when they died by your righteous hand, just as this foul thing will now die by your hand, the hand of an Astartes.
"For the Emperor!" You cry as knock a Hellion off its Skyboard at just the right moment as it crashes into the Reaver Jet Bike sending both to a dark death in the depths below where even these Dark Eldar scream.
The Archon stands up and gives a single clap of displeasure. You will be tortured tonight, like every night, but knowing you killed some of his pets puts a smile on your face. The hiss of the airlock is barley audible over the combat surrounding you. Sslyth servants armed with enough firepower to take out a small army enter and herd you into a small cell only large enough to sit, and sit you will until you are called into the arena again....
I am at least curious as to how this will work. At the least I might stalk this to see how the game is set up.
Yup, totally interested. Gonna ask a friend to lend me his RT books tomorrow.
Interested in this, but seeing you had a previous grp, I will let them take prio (if that is something you want
New players are welcome, that old group was from 2 years ago not sure how many are even still around.

To be clear though this is a Deathwatch campaign, I am merely using the Rogue Trader "Mission" from Soul Reaver.
Ahhh, yes, you're right :P So I don't need to ask for the books :)
I take it we don't get the first 1000 xp, right? And... shall we roll or use the point buy option?
I am still around .. this sounds interesting. I will put something together tonight...
Yea, lots of us from the other game are still around, would love to join this campaign. Just need to see how PC creation works. I'll start working up some history, since we aren't DW, then we were with our Chapter and were captured somehow.
Are you looking for a single chapter squad or will we be from different chapters?
Also, how would a librarian fit in if at all? Being captured and forced to fight as a regular marine is one thing, but having a librarian...that either be kept hidden or it'd make some fights unfair...maybe something dampens the PR or nulls it while captured....Up to the GM.
I'd be interested in Iron Hands, Salamanders, and Storm Wardens.
Interested as a flesh tearer assault marine.
Excellent looks like there is some interest. I will answer the questions asked then make a proper recruitment.

You will get the 1000 point exp to represent the hard times you have endured in the Arena, however you will not be allowed to choose things from the "Deathwatch" advancements yet. I prefer the point buy (100 points to distribute, nothing over 50 before chapter bonus)

All different chapters, though I might hold back on allowing certain ones (Red Scorpions, Fire Hawks, Black Shields) to name a few. Depends on who is running them and how they plan on using the abilities I suppose.
Good question on the librarians-This will get detailed more, but you are fitted with a psydisruptor not unlike their Medusae slaves. This reduces you down to a PR 1 and are not allowed to manifest an unfettered power, but you also do not produce perils or phenomenon. This harnessing of the power produces some unique properties (mechanically you receive bonus Fate points to start and when you use one I will describe some odd psychic ability that manifested itself to produce the desired effect).
