Mordigael's call

Game Master tko540

Our ranks have begun to dwindle, Axineton. Send a data burst to the Chapters. Beckon them to honor our call, and defend the Imperium from it's enemies... Light the beacons and draw the sons of the Primarchs to our fortress....

Well folks, I'm starting new Deathwatch group. Since this is my first time GMing a deathwatch game( I usually run Rogue Trader or Black Crusade) I am going to start out with the cookie cutter missions from the books and move on from there. I'm looking for 4-6 players, and this is not FCFS. I'm going to try and pick up a fairly balanced group. So roll your base stat lines and gimme an idea for specialties. Closing recruiting 23 July or sooner if full.

(I have pretty much all the books so if you pick something outside the norm just source citing.)

im in i usually make a caster or a rogue. rolls were 14, 12, 14, 16, 17, 15. are we able to place them as we see fit or go with them as rolled

I'm interested.

I'd like to try an Ultramarine Apothecary.

if I had a rule book I'd totally roll up a character and play, always wanted to do this (I play tau and grey knights on the tabletop)

actually hell, I found a PDF if you don't mind a newbie, I'll go for a tacticle marine of the Salamanders?

I had wanted a techmarine, but wasn't sure if that was wise lol.

Ah, just spotted the bit about using other books. Well then! I'll keep the numbers, but now it's assault marine Lanius of the Raven Guard, rather than a black templar.

If I can I'll also go for the mk 6 Corvus armor from rites of battle.

I have taken the liberty of updating the stats under the profile.

As long as yall cite your sources for anything outside the core just let me know, but almost all the books are playable.

Copy that. Iron Hands from First Founding pages 7-13.

And Raven Guard are First founding 14-19 .

Corvus mk VI armor is on page 150 onwards in Rites of battle, along with the other alternate armors.

Armor History (2x with Corvus)
Table: 1d5 ⇒ 3= Legend of War
Table: 1d5 ⇒ 4=Skill of the Artificer
Legend of War: 1d10 ⇒ 1=Warp Taint
Skill of the Artificer: 1d10 ⇒ 8= Pauldrons of Fury

I'll probably move that warp taint up... rather not start with massive corruption.

History: 1d5 ⇒ 2 - Operation Chronos
Demeanor: Calculating
Chapter demeanor: Son of Night

So do you mind a newbie playing with you?

Not at all man. We have all been there

can we place our rolls where we want or are they just "where they land" heh

if it is at all ok i would like to change my class to librarian

Where you rolled it is where it stays

1d5 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21 = wounds
1d10 ⇒ 5 = fate points

(lantzkevs devastator marine, salamander)

Let me know if it looks good.

1d10 ⇒ 9 forgot power armor history.

1d5 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22 wounds

reading wrath of iron to help with the roleplay of iron hands

as a preliminary, brother calculus was part of the iron hands clan company that liberated shardenus.

Alright lads, I'm waiting on one response and then I will kick this off. I'd appreciate if y'all's first post in the campaign thread was your Marine's profile. If need be I can kick out to y'all a fillable sheet and have ya send it back.

Who are you waiting on?

A blood angel assault marine from another game cut super short. I invited him before I made the recruiter

GM, can you allow the application of my re-roll to Toughness rather than Weapon Skill? Thanks in advance.

Yes but you will start with one less fate point.

Hey, I'm interested with my Tactical marine, but I'll change his chapter to an Ultramarine successor chapter, so as not to clash with Olmek too much. I'll rework my profile tonight to remove the extra experience I spent for my last game.

Are you OK with that GM or do you want me to roll from stratch?

Yes but you will start with one less fate point.

Oh, in that case, I will stick what I have already. Fate Points are a limited resource.

Wait! We've already got a 2 tactical marines! What are we missing? A devistator maybe? Assuming you're not full I'll make my character using the rolls I got for this one, and an Ultramarines successor chapter.

Fate Points 1d10 ⇒ 4 equals 3 fate points

Power Armor History 1d10 ⇒ 10 To Forget is to forgive. Forget nothing. How appropriate :-)

Iron Hands Past 1d5 ⇒ 2 Siege of Gantor Terentes

lantzkev changed to a devastator, Brother Solar.
Which gives us 2 assault marines, an apothecary, a techmarine, and a librarian...right?

Which gives us one of everything, and 2 assault marines. I think that mine would be sufficiently different from a blood angels assault marine to make that interesting. For one, I'm packing in stealth. Which I doubt bright red boy can do.
Edit:
fate points: 1d10 ⇒ 1
wounds: 1d5 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Yea I think 2 devastators are much more useful than 2 tactical marines...

So we have
Brother Lanius - Assault Marine, Raven Guard
Brother Raziel - Assault Marine, Blood Angels
N'Keln the fireforged - Devastator, Salamanders
Brother Calculus - Techmarine, Iron Hands
Olmek - Apothecary, Ultramarines
PumaPartz - Librarian, Space Wolves

Which makes 6 players and no tactical marines. So I'll go back to tactical marine if I'm allowed in...

Here are the rest of my rolls:

Reroll for Toughness of 33: Toughness: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (3, 8) + 30 = 41

Wounds: 1d5 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Fate Points: 1d10 ⇒ 5 3 Fate Points

Name: 1d10 ⇒ 5 Quintus

Armour Mark: 1d10 ⇒ 9 Mk. VII "Aquila"

Armour History: 1d5 ⇒ 4 "Skill of the Artificer"

Skill of the Artificer: 1d10 ⇒ 10 "Helm of Mordicus"

OK so here he is with modified experience spend, background and chapter. He's basically the same bloke but now from the White Consults

Demeanor: Hot-Blooded, rash and impetuous but noble and idealistic.
Chapter Demeanor: The Red Thirst
Description: Raziel is very pale, with shoulder length straight dark hair. Like many Blood Angels, his features are considered to be rather attractive.

Personal History: Raziel, Battle Brother of the Blood Reavers Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels, was selected to Deathwatch for his actions defending a loyal world from the Xenos threat. His company was assigned to break through a siege of Orks that had surrounded an Adepta Sororitas abbey. His squad dropped behind the Ork lines and demolished their heavy weapons, before making hit and run raids to disrupt the assault. With the pressure off, the Sisters of Battle were able to rally a counter-attack. With most of the greenskins being pushed back and cleansed with fire and the holy catechism of bolter fire, victory seemed all but certain. However, the Orks managed to deploy a Killa Kan. Raziel's squad leader, Sergeant Turel, lead the assault on the mutant's foul war machine, but was felled by it's massive Klaw. Their melta-bombs already expended on the Ork siege weaponry earlier, Raziel and his squad brothers attempted to use Krak Grenades to destroy the machine but only disabled its cannons. The last of his squad, Raziel refused to dishonor his brothers by fleeing. Taking up his fallen Sergeant's Thunder Hammer, Raziel charged the Killa Kan and smote it in the name of the Emperor and Sanguinius.

Alright guys, campaign is up. I need full profiles for each Astartes as first post. As far as I am tracking I have:

Brother Lanius - Assault Marine, Raven Guard
Brother Raziel - Assault Marine, Blood Angels
N'Keln the fireforged - Devastator, Salamanders
Brother Calculus - Techmarine, Iron Hands
Olmek - Apothecary, Ultramarines
PumaPartz - Librarian, Space Wolves
Brother Solar- Tactical Marine, White Consuls

I'll have it up tomorrow. Thanks for the invite. :D

Sadly we have lost two of our members and have some openings to fill. The group is in need of an Apothecary and a possible Psyker. I'm going to leave this open for the next 5 days. Any questions hit me up.

Watch Captain, I am still here.

I'm still tracking you. However we have lost Quintus and Lokken.

Alright well it sounds like we may have found someone for Quintus. We just need a replacement for Logan, our Librarian.

Greetings.

Being a longtime fan and avid RPer in WH40K universe, I find myself exceedingly enthusiastic for locating a Deathwatch game with an open spot. If there is still a place for a Librarian, I would be more than glad to fill it. I would also be willing to consider any chapter, both from the original and successor ones, in case you think it would fit better with the current kill-team composition.

Thank you for your time. Looking forward to your response.
