Adopting a Bataviran is quite an easy task, all you need to do is supply a name and pick a model for it.
So are you ready? Then feel free to scroll down, take a look at the avaible models and post a name.
If you are feeling creative, why not stick around and learn a bit about our regiment and add a certain background?
I mainly did this because in my army, I give every Guardsman a name and a history, however I found out that I keep coming up with the same background.
Models marked with a (f) are female, the rest are male.
So pick a number and feel free to do as you wish.

Is there a certain rank that you want, but it's not in the list?
Just send a PM and I'll see what I can do.
Leonard Gylls, model 3 in squad 2
background to follow-
Nickname: Leonard (he doesn't like nicknames)
Favorite Food: Turkey
Favorite Drink: Ale
Pets: Trousers the dog - Leonard named him when he was 3 and was embarrassed of the name once he got older. Trousers lived an exceptionally long life - 16 years - but tragically died after stumbling down a hill
Habits: Cleaning his weapon
Description: Leonard is a mostly humorless fellow who takes his role in the Guard very seriously. He sees himself as command material and, indeed, the company commander has complimented favorably about his shiny boots multiple times. Leonard has survived no less than three battles - twice his platoon was present but never saw any combat, and once he bayonetted an enemy squig that turned out to have been already killed by a land mine. He's neither particularly humble nor overly boisterous, but he doesn't like to talk about his own experience or accomplishments, saying that Guardsmen "shouldn't be sitting around yakking like civilians when there's a job to be done".
Nickname: Sam (He doesn't like nicknames)
Favorite Food: Chicken
Favorite Drink: Milk
Pets: Lilly the psychotic wiener guard dog.
Habits: Watching anime.
Description: Sam is a laid back fellow who takes his role in the Guard very seriously. He sees himself as command material and, indeed, the company commander has complimented favorably about his shiny las-gun multiple times. Sam has survived no less than five years in service of Batvaria, leading his squad against many enemies of the Imperium.
Favourite drink: Also revenge (still should be served cold)
Pets: Dog named Dozer (dead, killed by Alpha Legionare)
Description: A young guardsmen formly from Corovscowa, he left his birth place when it was destroyed by a single Alpha Legionare. The destruction of his dome took almost 2 years, the Alpha Legionare planted seeds of rebellion into the populace, and eventualy almost the whole dome was in service to chaos. This did not go unnoticed, and when a nearby force of Black Templars was alerted to this, they jumped at the opportuinity to bring the Emperor's foes to justice. They procided to begin the annilation of the dome's civilian populace just to get their hands on the Chaos Marine. Of those who had remained loyal to the Emperor, many were executed on suspicion of heresy, and those that remained were used as meat shields by both sides of the conflict. Once the fighting was finally over, only around 25000 of the domes 1.5 million inhabitants were still alive. These suvivors moved into whatever dome would except them, many would not be excepted into the domes and established there own settlements outside the domes and still live there to this day. After the traumatic events that took place in his childhood, Demitrix made an oath to abolish the sins of his dome, and many others followed his example, enlisting in the Bataviran 197th. Of those who enlisted, few are still alive, and they have been spread throughout the regiment. Demitrix himself is a calm and controled individual, he speaks with a heavy accent and often sits back and listens to most conversations between soldiers, only speaking when he has something to contibute to the conversation. But on the battlefield, he turns into a shouting, screaming agent of death, often screaming litanies of hate and redemption at his foes as he kills them.
Trooper Aleph, 1st platoon, 1st infantry squad. Background: Dislikes-Clocks, heretics, xenos and guard duty Likes-Shooting at heretics, shooting at xenos, shooting at clocks, not being on guard duty Weapon of choice-Lasgun
Updated roster! New recruits are welcome!
Also, if you want, I can make small conversions on the models.
(Think of it like this: "Hates Orks" ---> Ork head glued to the base. Or "fought against Tau" ---> armed with a pulse carabine intead of a lasgun.)
I hope you like the standard stormtroopers, 'cause those are the ones I use.

On his back I don't know, but I do have one that wears a axe around his waist.
I do got some Khador models and they have axes.
I have one that stands in the middle and the one just left of it. Any preference?
The running one in the middle seems good, he certainly looks like an angry man. If I can't have him then the bearded one will do just fine.
Also is there any fluff for those guys in the pictures? If not it would be cool to say that these are the survivors from Corovscow, since they seem to fit the bill for what I had in mind for them, if that's alright with you of course.
Demitrix: Any news on the patrol sir, I'm getting a little bit anxious for some action.

It is Kyel's dream to one day punch an Eldar in the face. Until such a day arrives, he steadfastly refuses to die.
Is this horrible/dead enough for you?
Not a work of art, yet I think it's pretty gruesome...

I ain't so strict with WYSIWYG, so there a number of different models in it from different games.
Feel free to post what you like or what you want to use or what models I should get. (I don't promise I'll get them, but I'll certainly take a look.)
Chances are that I might have them or that I will get them.

I want to be one of those awesome roughriders, you know that destroyed one of my ravagers in your first turn! Give me the one with the big machine gun preferably.
Private Bruce Mathers the third.
Will post some fluff on him soon
Lets say a miniature has performed outstanding service in a game, what would be a proper reward?
A medal painted on him? The dead head of the enemy? The weapon of the enemy?
Lyzin Locrian wrote:Ask who ever distinguished themselves what they want, that way they get something that they want instead of what everyone else things they should get.
True, yet I also think that officers and commissar (maybe medals and such?) should receive other rewards then the common soldier (armor, wargear, guns?).

Here is a link to a list of all the medals available to the Imperial Guard. I'd also suggest that we make our own medal for Batavira, Cadia has several medals, so why shouldn't we?

That's a good idea indeed. I'll try to think of some.
Also, autocannon squads get no love?
Automatically Appended Next Post: How do you guys feel about a kill counter?
AKA, we keep track of how many enemies everyone killed.
I'll post more information in an hour.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Alright, the kill counter...
It works like this: Each time a unit makes a kill, there is a special character that makes the kill. I would like to try to keep track of it and perhaps some characters are more lucky then others. The kills are distributed by rolling a dice.
3 meltagunners fire at 3 vehicles, with a lot of luck, all the three vehicles are destroyed and all meltagunners get a kill. (No need to roll.)
3 meltagunners fire at 1 vehicle and only one causes the vehicle to crash, then I roll a D3 and the number that comes out, represents the gunner that shot it down.
Say 10 Imperial Guardsmen fire 20 shots at 1 Tau. All shots except 1 miss and the 1 that hits causes the Tau to die.
Now I roll 2D6 to see who killed the Tau. (The number represents the number of the soldier.) If the result is 11 or 12, I roll again. (Because those numbers aren't included.)
If 10 IG fire 20 shots at a group of 5 Tau and 3 die, I roll 3 x 2D6 after the battle to see whom killed them.
If 10 IG fire 20 shots at 1 Tau and there are multiple unsaved wounds, the kill doesn't count since it was uncertain who killed the Tau.
Kill records:
"According to the Batavirans, actions speak louder then words. It's better to do ten good deeds to the Emperor then praise him a hunderd times. Ofcourse the Batavirans want to show how good their faith is, how loyal they are and that is why they keep track of their kills."
Hmm... Shall we make a couple of catagories? Idea's, advice etc. is ofcourse welcome!
I mean, there is a difference when you destroy a Leman Russ, kill a termagaunt or shoot down a skimmer.
How about:
Light infantry: basic troops. (Normal SM's, Orks, necron warriors, NCO's still count in this catagory)
Heavy Infantry: elite's and commanding troops. (Terminators, Necron lords)
MC: TYRANIDS! (Are there besides Tyranids any other MC's?)
Light tank: Skimmers and fast tanks.
Tanks: Normal tanks (LRBT, Vindicator)
If I count the last battle, then third platoon did a good job, they made the only kills besides Marba. And ofcourse we still need more recruits to make this work! Third platoon is still empty and second platoon can still be filled...
Lyzin Locrian wrote:Why don't you try a point system.
Light Infantry: 1 point
Heavy Infantry: 2 points
MC: 4 points
Light Tanks: 3 points
Tanks: 5 points
Or something like that.
Also bonus points for killing special characters, those guys a tough cookies.
True, that way you can see who kills a lot and gets a lot of points, however the other way allows you to keep track of what they killed.
Perhaps we can make the medal related to them?
50 points = hero
destroyed 5 tanks = Tank hunter
How about we double the points when a Special Character is killed?
If you destroy Pask's tank, then you get 10 points. 5 because he is in a tank and doubled because he is special.
Marbo, heavy infantry, gives 4 points. 2 because he is Heavy infantry and another 2 because he is a special character?
What about these categories?
B. F. = Battles fought, L. I. = light infantry killed, H. I. = heavy infantry killed, M. C. = Monstrous creatures killed, L. T. = light tanks destroyed, T. = tanks destroyed, S. C. = special character.
B. F. | L. I. | H. I. | M. C. | L. T. | T. | S. C.

How does this model look? Good enough or not?
I'm sorry that it isn't a horse...
To make it up, I used the head of the Baneblade commander.
I'm quite fond of this officer, I really have the feeling that he is charging into the combat.
Lyzin Locrian wrote:Where did we get those? I don't remember seeing them on Batavira
They live in the forests around the equator and in the pine forests near the northern and soutern domes.
The beasts are called Striegs and we refer to the Rough Riders as Bataviran Scouts.
Just like our Skadian cows, they serve as excellent mounts and the Striegs are used for transporation.
We even named both of them after famous planets. (Can you guess wich? )
Because of the large distances between domes, we use them as messengers or fast response teams.
It takes a man around two or three days to get from one dome to another. The Striegs can cross the distance in just six hours.
So if necessary, they can advance in front of the main army and tie up the enemy.
Armed with a deadly harpoon gun they are fearsome opponents.
They also accompany travallers or deliver goods around.
Since we have big herds of Skadians that traval large distances, the Bataviran Scouts serve as sheppards.
As a Bataviran regiment, we take two or three companies of these Scouts, because they are quite useful.
Since they carry enough equipment to survive a week on their own, they can be used to scout large distances or to stalk the enemies' lines.
If that isn't necessary, we use them as fast response teams.
The companies are broken up into smaller squads and then split out among the remaining companies.
About the harpoon gun:
An ancient standard construction template was once discovered, deep inside the bowels of the factory world of Thurov. The gun was very powerfull and it was able to even punch through some light armoured vehicles.
Very quick, the gun was used by hunters on a lot of planets. The hunters shot the arrow at the prey and if they hit , the fate of the prey was sealed. The animal couldn't escape, because of the large rope attached to the arrow..
The Batavirans quickly adapted this gun and the Bataviran Scouts used it when moving large herds of cows form one place to another.
The guns were very succesfull in keeping large predators or thiefs at bay.
Upon abduction into the Guard, the Scouts are allowed to keep their gun. Using it to create terrible wounds on the enemy, the large hooks ripped out arms, legs and other organs. If you were lucky, the wound was fatal immediatly. If you were unlucky, the hook got stuck in your torso and you were dragged behind the Scouts untill the rope broke or your ribs were ripped out of your body.
Yeah, I love tha model. And the background. About the planet where they are named after: Krieg?

No one in Corovscowa ever used one, maybe they just don't like to live in the region near Corovscowa, proabably something to do with the terrain.
It's true that some domes aren't suitable for them or that it's difficult for them to reach the area.
Also can you tell me a bit more about your place, I'm quite curious.
Just messaged loner about having a Techpriest.
So here he is:
Name: Adept Malakite Behmon
Nickname: Machine Whisperer, Though he would rather be called Adept Awsome-sauce
Favorite Food: unlike most Techpriests Malakite still needs to eat like a normal human, He tends to eat mainly a cheese that he makes in a broken down chimera.
Favorite Drink: Freshly Brewed Coffee
Favorite hobby: arguing with the commissars about his chimera, He insists that he can keep it where he likes, as "The Omnissiah Gave it to him for his birthday"
Pet: A large mechanical centipede named Fluffy
Description: Malakite would say that he is the epitome of what every techpriest engineseer should aspire to be, However he is dead wrong. Everyone says he must have some sort of mental disability. In fact, many doubt that he is even a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus. He has been caught mixing sacred machine oils with his cheese and rubbing it on the lenses of the lasguns saying this will make it good as new. The only reason he is kept around is for his outstanding ability of rebuilding vehicles (except his chimera because says it will one day sprout legs and walk)
Perhaps a bit of a strange request, but are there any people here that want to be a fluff-wise medic?
AKA: In the stories you are a medic and look after squad mates, but in the battle you are just a normal Imperial Guard.
It's for a story, I'm writing...
Cheslav Ivanovich Vasilii, platoon 3 trooper 105 (sergeant) Nickname: Cheslav (sometimes Cheese) if you call him Cheeselav, he will hurt you
Favourite food: Cheese
Favourite drink: Vodka
Pets: Cat named Cat (hidden in my locker)
Description: Very Gung-Ho. No-one knoews anything about his past, and they don't want to ask. Always does insane and stupid things but they always work. Not very strong, but very intelligent, a great shot and somewhat insane. Great sense of humor, but takes things too far.
Model 54
Designation: Cpl Morbosis
Nickname:Troll
Age: 37
Height: 1.9m
Specification: Meltagunner, Second Platoon
Background: Once the ruler of a large and powerful underground gang on the Hive World of Illbostra, Faticus "Troll" Morbosis was once a wealthy and feared individual, having survived multiple assassination attempts by his ruthless command and own initiative, until a traitor in his own organisation turned him in to the local Arbites enforcers. Fearing for his life, Faticus pleaded he be spared an execution. Realising the potential of such a dangerous individual, the Troll of Illbostra was given a second chance in the form of Penal (haha) service. His fearful aura and survival instincts allowed him to make it through the most suicidal missions and kept the other Penal (haha) troopers in line.
After a week of battle on the Chaos infested planet of Giridion, he earned his freedom and was allowed to return to normal life. However, Faticus was not one for normal life, and he asked to be conscripted in to the nearby Batarivan regiment, where he could dominate the battlefield with his favoured blowtorch-style weaponry.
As long as you obey our orders on the battlefield, we don't care where your from or what you did. In the Bataviran you got to prove yourself worthy enough!
You have any preferences for a model?
And Morbosis, you got luck... :p
I'm currently writing a small story about second platoon, mind if I add your character?
Also, Coolyo, aren't you a sergeant already? Isn't it hard to perform both roles on the battlefield?

Wow, how, original, I totally can't see where you got this from. Also cat named cat, you're not even going to try and come up with a name for it, that just shows lack of comittment, I don't like that.
actually vasilii is one of the top 50 russian names - its not spelt the same as the sniper from enemy at the gates.
it also follows standard russian naming: given nme, patriarchal name (father's name followed by -ovich), and surname. And hey, I like cheese!
I will concede cat named cat was inspired by Red Dwarf though (great show)

description: Stormtrooper who likes killing.he only has one friend. he was only child. his parents were killed. he now hungers for revenge.
IS= #67 (f) Sergeant Toaah Santose
twenty four years of age, raised in the agri-cultural land. Two brothers in the regiment currently alive. Dark brown hair, sea blue eyes. Beautifully stunning and attracts the attention of all male troopers in the regiment. Other women are jealous of her but she gets along with everyone, especially those under her command. Great leader who makes mistakes at the best of times
IS= autocannon sergeant #88 'AD' Santose
raised well by older sister Toaah who taught him everything he knows. Light brown hair with mystical blue eyes. Looks up to his oldest sister and whenever she is in trouble, he disobeys orders and displaces his squad to save her. Court martialled continuously but comes out with out punishment as he saves entire platoons in one movement to save the one closest to him. at 21 years of age, one of the quickest promoted to the rank of sergeant.
#87=autocannon loader -> Trooper Pauli Santose
The youngest sibling in the Santose family. with brown hiar and dark blue eyes, he follows orders to the letter no matter what the cost.Being in his brother's fire team, the two men work exceptionally well, maximising kill ratios against the enemy. He is THE quickest autocannon loader in the regiment and his aim with a las-rifle is exceptional at the worst of times. At 19 years of age, he is one of the youngest in the regiment. Not popular like his sister, but trusted to all that no him. 'Luck charm' of his platoon.
It is exactly what I had in mind!
The painting is decent.
One thing, if you hadn't noticed, the barrel of the lasgun and the scope are both bent.
Thanks
Automatically Appended Next Post: good job to my platoon commisar!
He killed da trygon!!!
I think that would look cool, but I really meant that he should recieve a medal of some kind. Start a new section titled Honor Roll, use it to keep track of all the medals people win. You don't have to put everyone in there, just the people with medals, or if you don't think they deseve a medal, just list there great deed instead.
Yeah that's a good idea too. Rewards should also be given to those who distinguish themselves in the forums as well, something like a reward for being helpful outside of combat , your descreation though, just an idea.
If you like to join, why dont you take a look at dakka fiction? its at the bottem of the forum index, and there you can find the Regimental Log and a short story named 'the cathedral'.
He is in command of the third platoon.
If you want, we can just change it, we aren't to strict about it. I can offer you these models, two are already painted, one is still being painted, if you want another one, just say the word and we see what we can do.
As for Ad yeah, I got this tall lady as Toaah, that's fine with you?
As for our dear flamer friend, I got a Cadian model and a Valhallan flamer, the Cadian one is already painted and the Valhallan style still needs to be painted.
For a better picture about the Valhallan, this is what it should look like:
I'd like to sign up, if possible? when i checked, platoon 2, #78 the meltagunner seemed to be free? Sledge, reporting for duty, ready to handle enemy armour and large guns pointed at my friends with my trusty meltagun that I've never used before, but hope to use for some time to come...
That didn't come out as awe-inspiring and morale-boosting as expected! D:
You can join the second platoon command squad.
Your name trooper?..

Good to have you with us Ben.
We almost moving out for combat, so grab a meal and get moving!
If your going to talk to yourself be sure no one is listening, it makes you look insane to everyone else, and to the commisars it makes you look like a heretic, so try to keep it to a minimal ok, I don't want to see you get your head blown off by one of the commisars, cause I'd proabably have to clean it up. Actually I could just get Cheeselav to do it, so it doesn't matter to much then. You can go ahead and get your head blown off, oh wait then you'll be dead, nevermind then, just stay alive instead.
I was wondering, since we are adding the hall of heroes, do you have any recommendations for medals?
Feel free to submit some ideas that can be awarded to models for perform special in-game things.
'The [insert brave IG person here] Award'
Awarded to soldiers who perform extreme acts of bravery in the face of near certain danger. Often awarded posthumously, in honour of the deed(s) performed to let their comrades live.
And it's presented by [insert same brave IG person as above if they're not dead]!!!
Yeah, in case you didn't notice, i'm not amazing on IG fluff...
As for the new meltagunners, I got these three models for you.
I'll leave it up to you which ones you want.
The valhallan style guy, still needs to be painted.
As for Hale, I only have Necromunda Eshers as females, so no scopes...
I also have these models (althoug hbetter painted)

Congratulations Valence, now your a badass, enjoy yourself.
Loner asked me to give an opinion the medals people are coming up with so here it goes. Honestly I don't really like the medals people are coming up with. They seem overly simplistic and a little uncreative, I don't mean to be offensive that's just the way I feel. Medals should be a little more difficult to earn then simply making a couple of armour saves, and really when was the last time you heard if somebody being given a medal for that kind of thing. Imagine this, some random guardsmen is in the middle of a battle, he doesn't do anything other then get shot at by the enemy, afterwards his officer aproaches him and says "Hey, I saw some bullets bouncing off your armour during the battle, here's a medal" or even "I saw you duck behind cover a few times during the battle, here's a medal". People don't get medals for that kind of thing, they get them for things like winning the battle almost single handedly, leading men to great victories, and just being good at what you do. I'm including a link to a list of Imperial Guard medals, looking at these might help people with the naming process, as well as coming up with better ways of earning them. I'll propably post a list of a few medals myself, till then you guys are on your own.
"Golden Skull of Batavia", awarded for slaying 3+ Montrous creatures during one game.
the reason we are making them simpler is because it would be impossibly for a single guardsman/woman to earn them if they when things like kill 3 squads in 1 turn.
actually, most of the ones on the lexicanum I think are achievable. also the two hardest ones to get (star of terra, order of ollanius pius) it doesn't say what you have to dot to get them. e.g domitrix's squad and the rough rider squad could be given the ribbon intrinsic instead of the order of invinctus. The ribbon intrinsic, I quote: "The Ribbon Intrinsic is an award given to units rather than individuals. It is given to squads that have proven to be the linchpin for a victorious battlefront, where they managed to turn a defeat into a victory through sheer determination"
EDIT: I also found out Marbo hold the star of Terra! Sock, you are now even moar badass hahahahahahahahaha
The stormtroopers have arrived! They have arrived after 35 days...
Now, I'll leave it to you to fight about who gets what character.
As for our special weapon troopers:
You can pick the left or the right one.
As for Samuel Linius:
You can take the one with the laspistol or take the one with the sword.
As for our regular Stormtroopers:
You can take any of these guys.
The one on the left and on the right are with faces, the other ones with gasmasks.

The proplem being that we lost the battle regardless, we just wiped out a unit of daemonettes, so we really shouldn't get The Ribbon Intrinsic. Also just because Valence counts as Marbo doesn't mean that she has earned the Star of Terra, just that she is a badass, wether or not she has earned it yet is completely up to us.
I can't use it most of the time cos I mostly go on my iPod's Internet and the chat thing (I presume that's what you're talking about) crashes it! but it does look good for others!

Also on a side note, have you picked your model yet?
Looks pretty good Cheslav, how are those dummies coming a long by the way? If they're not done yet, get them done, otherwise we'll be useing YOU for target practice!
Making these dummies out of wood takes to long....
I know! I'll make them out of ballistics gel!
Here's the mold....
damn were out of ballistics gel....
What can I use instead..
This looks good!
*reads label*
impact detonated plastic explosive
*grins evilly*
Give me those explosives Cheslav! Who knows what'll happen if you touch them to much! (Takes explosives from him) We'll be useing these dummies for all of our combet training, make them out of something that doesn't go boom, or bang, or arrrrrrrgh, cause they tend not to last long if they do. If I see you handiling explosives again, I'll have you shot, out of an artillery piece!
Ill take role 105 as a sergeant if available.
Sergeant Taveth
Likes:Winning, courage, battle, being straight forward
Dislikes:Cowards, chaos, being out of ammo
Background: Sergeant Taveth was recruited 20 years ago from a PDF force based on a planet the Battavirans had just saved from a protracted siege by the forces of chaos. As a sergeant Taveth has proven to have a sound head when it comes to strategy, however his sharp tongue and unwillingness to play office politics has kept him from recieving an officers comission
Description: Blunt speaker,some minor acid burns from a tyranid bioacid, as well as some replaced organs due to a stray lasgun shot.
Welcome to third platoon Sergeant Taveth, perhaps you would be so kind as to help Cheslav with the dummy construction. And by perhaps, I mean do it now before he blows something up (A massive explosion is seen in the distance). To late, CHESLAV WHAT DID YOU DO!!! Sergeant, fetch me an artillery officer!
Sir, you may want to watch where you step, I saw him trying to make a yellow brick road out of plastic explosives *runs off to grab an artillery officer, as well as an EOD team after some thinking a medic team as well*
Read loner's story idea for the orks, I was not making a yellow brick road out of explosives, as the are white in colour, and fps russia is a notorious explosive/firearms expert from the valhallans
I already read the story, in fact I posted there, I was asking so that I could pursue them and kill them, not because I didn't know orks were around. Also what the heck is a valhallan demolitions expert doing here? Get him out of here before he blows something else up! As for that road you were making, you must now eat it, if you refuse to then I will have this officer here fire you out of his artillery piece.
Cheslav your imagining things, we are not under attack by orks, we are in our base discussing what the hell happened here, no ork force could make it here, they would have to move through our entire front line to do that, don't you think we would have noticed something like that?
Stop blowing things up! You're wasteing all of our explosives! We need those to kill xenos and such! Next person who blows something up will be sentenced to 3 monthes of latrine duty, useing only their tongue!

Just because you dragged my ass to a medicae after accidentally blowing a hole in my guts doesnt mean I like the idea of having to wade through deffication to get to the lines....

I'll leave it up to you which ones you want.
The valhallan style guy, still needs to be painted.
This was on page 7.
You can choose which one you want, the others haven't replied, yet.
Our regimental commander, major Falkenhorst came by.
The following scene happened:
Now, this is the reason that we aren't allowed any explosive stuff in our company, anymore.
I wonder what you guys will do next, use prometium to set things on fire?...
Now for Samuel Linius, you just 'volunteered' for target practice. We have new recruits arriving...
It's your job to hold this sign in front of you and then tell the recruits if they have hit the target. They remain upon the range untill all of them have hit the target atleast three times.
You want to know what the target is? Your helmet... No that's too big...
Take these apples, hold them in front of you and tell the recruits if they have hit the target or not.
thenoobbomb wrote:Now, Id love to get some new recruits ^^
Anyways, please, dont shoot in my head, will you..
Don't worry. Shooting you in the head would be too easy...
They use a new kind of lasgun, that is used for crowd control.
It's called a "tazer", it will release an electric charge and temporarly disable you.
That way, the recruits can easily tell if they have hit or not.
If they have hit, you still stand, if they don't, you lay on the ground...
There are two Sergeant positions open currently, one in the second autocannon squad, and another in third platoon. The one in third platoon is female though, but you may by able to arrange something with loner if you don't want to be a girl.

It's good to have you with us. I'll look for a picture of your miniature and post it once I found it.
(Do you mind running around with a huge metal arm?)
Wow, I'd rather be something normal. 
Nicely painted, sir.
