I am starting an Only War game. You will mainly be fighting Xenos threats. While enrollment is open I am giving preference to those originally accepted to the failed other Only War game followed by Corsairo. I am offering three choices for regiment. Please assign a score of one two or three to each option. The one with the highest score will win. Only the votes of those who are accepted will be counted. I will be using 100 point buy method for attributes.
Cavalry:
Frontier World
Sanguine
Rough Riders
Forward Observers
Iconoclasts
Favored Weapons: Melta Gun/Heavy Flamer
Rough Rider Kit Plus: Advanced Medikit/Squad, +2 Weeks Rations, Chrono
Tauros Assault Vehicle:
Forge World
Circumspect
Rapid Recon Regiment
Iconoclasts
Favored Weapons: Grenade Launcher/Heavy Bolter
Standard Kit Plus: Microbead, Imperial Guard Flak Armor, Chrono, +1 Knife, Auspex/Squad
Elysium Drop Troops
I'm interested!
1- Tauros Assault Vehicle
2- Elysium Drop Troops
3- Cavalry
Specialty Preferences in Order
1- Sergeant
2- Operator
3- Heavy Gunner
4- Medic
5- Weapon Specialist
6- Enginseer
What do you need by way of an application?
Alright since I do have Only War I will put in a bid of interest...
Tauros Assault Vehicle 3
Elysium Drop Troops 2
Calvary 1
Class choices in order
1 Tech-Priest Enginseer
2 Operator
3 Sanctioned Pysker
4 Commissar (of the "maverick" type)
If a clear pattern emerges, as seems to be the case, I will call it on regiment then all applicants can make chars.
Elysium drop troops-1
Calvary-2
Tauros assault Vehicle-3
1- Psyker
2- Catachan
3- heavy gunner
4-weapon specilist
5-Enginseer.
Catachan?! A Catachan specialty? Whaaaa?!
1.- Tauros Assault Vehicle
2.- Elysium Drop Troops
3.- Cavalry
I'm from the previous game, nice to see you getting stuff set up. Seems like everyone is on the same page so far with choices.
At this point, unless I get a bunch of votes that say other wise, I am going to call it at Tauros Assault Vehicle submission. This will not be official until tomorrow morning.
What's your max number of players?
Do the players from the previous game already have Characters that they want to keep/tweak to the new Regiment? I'm wondering if I can go with Sergeant.
My current thoughts. The max number of players is six. I will start between Wednesday and Saturday, depending on how much more interest we get. As for recycling chars, basically no. You are welcome to use the same specialty and adapt the fluff, but I want you to re roll for wounds and fate points. As I said earlier, you have 100 points to distribute between your attributes which start at 20. It would be a good idea if someone were to make a tech priest enginseerer and a regular priest.
Viluki wanted Tech-Priest Enginseer. My Second though was Operator, that's 90% of the job that a Tech-Priest is.
@Corsario & BayouSnowman - What specialty are you planning on playing?
There are different types of grunts. You can't just play lasgun guy.
It is now official, the regiment is the Tauros Assault Vehicle option. If you have any questions about the regiment options please let me know. Also, if everyone who is interested would please start working on a char, that would be greatly appreciated.
Unless someone else has their hearts set on it, I'm going to go with Operator.
If no-one has done it before me I'll put all the regiment rules together for everyone tonight.
Sweet, I'll start working on something. Seems like we got priests and maybe a Srg? I'll pick up something like Storm Trooper or Weapon Specialist, something offensive...Also considering a Psyker, but I'll hae to take a look at OW rules before i decide.
Having regiment info and rules would be helpful. Thanks Phil.

I'll put it all together with background in an alias tomorrow
What's our Regiment's Name? What Planet is it from? So far I have The 108th something Rapid Recon Regiment.
Also I'm channeling my character from Generation Kill. I'd recommend anyone who like war movies/shows to have a look.

Working on the details
Noob OW question:
Im searching for Regiment info, didn't know what book those are in. I've been searching for the Tauros vehicle online, but every version I've seen requires a driver and gunner.
I guess everyone will use their "Comrade" to gun/drive theirs, but if we join, then where will our comrades go?
I'm not sure of what all needs to be done and how, I'm going through the PC creation process step by step, not new to WH, but first time playing OW. Anyways, saw someone else rolling fate/wounds, so I'll throw those down. Rest will be up as I put it together today.
Wounds:
The Tauros is from shield of Humanity. Every char has their own vehicle. Other than that, I am not understanding your question. Also, the Regiments full name is now up.
I was going to bring that up. Every PC gets their own vehicle. If we go for the Venator can we just say our comrades are in beside us, or will you want to put them in another Tauros.
If mine's in beside me can I eventually get him a pintel mounted weapon, so I can use him to fire it? Obviously I won't want this from the start.
Also also how are we playing Iconoclasts? Are we followers of the machine cult?

Your Comnpainion is beside you in your Tauros. I envision your faith as a merging of Machine Cult and traditional.
@Samsun - Here are the steps:
- Take the a flat profile with 20 in each stat, no Skills no talents.
- Modify your stats by spredding 100 points between stats placing no more than 20 points in each stat
- Apply the changes in the regiment info I posted under the spoiler above
- Apply the changes for your speciality
- Roll for wounds from your speciality (which you've already done)
- Roll for fate points
- Spend XP
- Give your character a demeanour, background, name etc
- If you have a comrade name them and roll a random demeanour for them
- Give them a background
I don't have the rulebook here with me so I can't give you page numbers
No worries, I'm throwing down a Storm Trooper, no comrade. Should be able to fit a servitor inside.
Almost went Tech-Enginseer, they are more inline with our regiment, more aptitudes, Int. goes with more of the starting skills and MIU, 2 bionics/implants at good quality...Might still do it, but not sure how people feel about having redundent classes? But then again, not sure if our Servitors could fire guns like comrades?
Could turrets be hooked up to MIU?
With so much tech-priest/forge world love, I'm not going to be very smart, but a good shot.
Other fun class was Ratling, cool setup and skills. Our recon could maybe use a good sniper.
Are we allowed to trade anything? If I go storm Trooper I'd have an extra armor and other things I'd like to exchange for backpack ammo supply/energy pack for Hot-Shot Las aka Hellgun.
Lastly, gonna try and find a copy of Shield of Humanity tonight or tom.
@Corsario, wounds are 1d5, not 1d8
So I have PMed the quiet ones. Since I have not gotten any new interest, I am going to say that all of you are in. I will be opening up the discussion thread. Please move all character creation discussions there. For everyone else, recruitment is not closed, there is still at least one slot open.
Right! I did it the hard way, 1d8+5-1 (minimum 5) instead of 1d5+8-1 (minimum 8).
DM: Can I keep my "maximum roll" so I keep 12 wounds?
I will allow it.
Question: If we wind up with only three players, at least to start, do you want me to roll up a Commissar to aid you in combat?
EDIT: I also just learned that one of the quiet ones is still interested, but busy with midterms this week. Do you want to wait for him.
Do you still have an open spot?
Interested, but just have the core ruleset, is this going to be a problem ?
We still have an open slot. The regiment rules are in the campaign tab. The only major thing that might require another book is your vehicle. The Tauros is from Shield of Humanity.
likewise, I'm interested as well, as I haven't had the chance to play any of the FF 40k rpgs and want to.
That being said, I would like to submit a commissar.
Unless the others have an objection I say go ahead an roll him up.
okay, it'll have to be when I get home from work, as I don't have my pdf on my work computer (yet). I only have the core only war book right now.
Looking at a weapon specialist will that fit in ?

I do not believe anyone has claimed that role yet. Also, I am using the point distribution method for attributes. That is each attribute starts at 20. distribute between 1 - 20 of those points to each attribute.
missed that, will rerack the stats, but still keeping a weapon specialist.
Will work an Alias and background up by tomorrow.

Viluki has bowed out. Which means that unless there is further interest, both new people are in.
Good to know. I'll have a character posted this evening.
I'll put the Stats for a Tauros in my alias when I'm done. Probably tonight. You can copy paste it from there.
If you're playing a Commissar, please can you play this guy:

@Mokshai - You can switch out the Grenade Launcher for a Heavy Flamer, but what I have is basically all you need for a Tauros
I don't have my background done, that will have to wait until tomorrow
@ Phil, I cannot switch to a heavy flamer. The weapon Spec cannot do heavy weapons.
