The Official Report of Nathaniel Damascus, Codenamed ineptus astartes
Aboard the sanctus mauve Nathaniel Damascus looked at the customized hatch in front of him and took in the details. It wasn't the picture of a pink leman russ MBT that made him nervous, nor was it the painting an adepta sororitas battle sister in a very compromising position either.
it was simply the fact that it was there.
come on nate! said a voice in his head. back out now, and the fething commasariat is gonna hand you your head, on a spike!
Taking a deep breath he adjusted the hang of his lasgun and pushed open the door.
Taking in the room around him he noted the three occupants: in the corner behind the watch desk a man with a red band tied around his head, smoking a lho stick and scowling at a a magazine, his his booted feet up on the desk and a steaming mug of recaf perilously close to them.
Second, a grizzled looking sergeant snoozing in his cot with a five o'clock shadow adorning a broad jaw. He would have looked intimidating if not for the sleep-mask he was wearing,
And thirdly, a trooper lying on a cot, and snoring the loudest Nathaniel had ever heard with a bottle of amasec clutched in his hand and several empty assorted bottles and cans lying by his feet.
Letting out his long breath Nathaniel started toward the duty officers desk.
rivate first class Nathaniel 'Nate' Damscus walked down the hall and remembered his earliest days on Catachan. He remembered arriving at the newly finished hive city, of Catachan Secundis, and noting that not a single deadly plant grew inside its walls. He remembered waking up the next day on his tenth story hab flat and nearly being throttled by a man-eating plant that had sprouted in the hall.
But that planet was behind him now. Though, in all honestly he did miss it: the morning snake stomp the chem clearing of his room and being lulled to sleep by the detonations of the barking toads in the forest while wearing a rebreather.
adjusting the hang of his lasgun he looked at the slip of paper the duty officer had given to him, it was simple directions to his platoon's sleep-block. When he finally arrived he had joined the large cluster of green troops at the door and crowded in with the rest of them when it was opened.
By the time he had joined the throng a commissar was barking out orders to the assemblage of gaurdmen.
"I'm not going to mince words." Said the commissar "my name is commissar Wasabi."
"Now, you are going to be assigned cubicles, with five beds to each!"looking down at his data-slate, he added "Excepting gamma squad which will be, six men and their sergant, to each, owing to a lack of troops."
"You will pick a bed, you will sleep in that bed, you will make friends, in that bed-wait, no." There was muffled laughter coming from the rank and file, as the commissar struggled to correct his rather embarrassing mistake. "um...ahh....continuing!" barked the black clad officer "You'r weapons and armor are in the foot lockers." wasabi said "The bedside tables are to be used for personal effects, that cannot be hung on walls."There was silence "well?! get to it!" the commissar almost hollered.
Walking to gamma squad’s hab block, he took stock of the build; the room they were occupying was a full three stories high, and each squad block was two stories high with storage on the top, and sleeping quarters at the bottom. Stepping inside Nate took a bed on the right wall near the door. Setting down his bag he peered around the room, the other troops that were in here:
Behind his cot was another co,t occupied by a trooper about his age and hight, wearing, what appeared to be a furry, vallhalan-style hat and carrying a backpack that looked like it could fit a chem-dog tank. Shifting his line of sight to the next cot, he saw a bedraggled looking solider with sergeant's stripes standing over 6 feet tall and an impressively developed physique, even for a catachan. Looking over to the far wall he watched as a trooper with a kukri, an immense machete like weapon on which the blade curved inward on an abrupt 45 degree angle, carefully paint the name 'Stumbo' on his bedstead.
On that same wall a trooper with the name 'Garm' stitched across his chest, collapsed on a bed and started snoring. on the wall opposite the door the vox-man set down his 'caster and began rummaging in his foot locker.
nate turned to his own locker and opened it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
the contents were simple, a lasgun a stubgun ten las-packs and flak amour. The only thing different, was that his footlocker contained an armband, with the red cross of the ordos hospitalars and a large medi-kit. Nate went wide eyed and picking up the armband he slipped it onto his arm.
Closing the footlocker Nate laid back on his bed, and closed his eyes.
“Hello?” Nate opened one eye.
“Yes?” he said.
The be-capped trooper was sitting on his bed looking at him “Hey”
Nate sat up “hi, who are you?”
“Russki” the solider replied
“Nathaniel Damascus, but…err, call me Nate”
Russki looked at the armband. “You the platoon medic?”
Nate glanced at the armband and grinned, “yeah, medicae was one of my courses in scholum.”
“I see, you ever shot a lasgun?” asked Russki.
“Nah used an auto-rifle a few times though.”
Russki smirked, “Yeah, me too, ‘course on catachan, you loose your breathing privileges if you don’t know how to shoot a gun.”
Nate nodded “No kidding.”
Russki removed his pistol and began cleaning it.
“Where you from?”
“Hell-town, you know, the ruins of catachan secundis, you?”
“The starport”
“Oh? I’ve been there a couple times.”
There was a sharp crackle over the intercom followed by commissar wasabi’s barking voice
“Gamma platoon, report to the firing range, three decks below. You’re working with the sniper cadre today, move out!”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nate checked the load on his lasrifle and confirmed that it was fully operational, sighting down the iron sights he lined up the target downrange.
The target was a human torso and head, factory stamped, molded out of ballistics gel. Nate noted with some amusement that the word ‘heretic’ had been quickly scrawled on all of the bases. And that the target that was upon Nate’s base it was misspelled as ‘heretick’.
As the range was somewhat close to the genetoreum of the
Sanctus Mauve, the droning of the colossal engines steering them through the warp, could be heard loud and clear under commissar wasabi’s stentorian voice.
“ Check the load, and make sure the casing isn’t cracked! I don’t want any guardsmen flambés!” “All SWO’s will ues their las-pistols, one marksman to every three troops!”
Nate, Russki and a soldier with the name ‘J.P Jenkins’ stitched to his left breast-pocket lined up in a firing line, as a sniper by the name of ‘Maa’ (according to his dog-tags) approached.
“So.” Said the marksman “I’m gonna train you whiteshields how to shoot a lasrifle, but first we will recite the guardsman’s creed, repeat after me.”
Maa cleared his throat. And held his rifle so that the Aquila was facing the ceiling. “This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will.
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this endless war is not the charges we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.
My rifle has a machine spirit, much as I have a soul, and it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will.
Before the Emperor, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my race. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is the Imperium’s and there is no enemy, but peace!”
It took several tries but the assembled guardsmen managed to get it right.
Maa jestuerd downrange at the ‘heretic’ and began to speak.
“Everyone loaded? Good, now see that bust down there?”
the three troopers made noises in the general area of yesness
“Imagine that it has a star of chaos tattooed onto its forehead, everyone got that?”
Nate nodded, Jenkins hastily stowed a bottle of amasec he had been chugging behind the sniper’s back and gave a sheepish nod, but Russki was glaring at his target like he would like to sprint downrange and beat it no a pulp wit his lasrifle.
“Great… now blast it off.”
Taking a deep breath Nate squeezed the trigger, SNAPSNAPSNAP came the high report of the lasgun. Smoke obscured the target for a moment and when it cleared Jenkins sniggered.
“We-ell” Jenkins remarked. “You certainly would have caused him emotional pain.”
“Oh?” grumbled Nate.
“Yeah, he is now…” Jenkins paused for dramatic effect “Her-tick!”
“Bah.” Muttered Nate in a good natured way. Turning, Nate noticed that Russki was still blasting his own now slagged target, with a practical, if somewhat unimaginative battlecry.
“Die heretic! Die heretic! Die heretic! Die heretic! Die heretic!”
Maa taped the infuriated trooper on the shoulder “umm I think he’s dead.”
Russki turned with an embarrassed look and mumbled “I hate heretics…”
“As do we all,” said the marksman. “You were all decent in your own way’s but you all had problems:” Maa pointed at Russki, “You did manage to ‘kill’ it but you expended 95 percent of your mag.”
Switching to Nate he said. “You fired a good three shot burst by you didn’t hit his chest or head, you shot his ‘E’.
Pointing at Jenkins he said, “you’re a decent shot, but you fired only one round.”
Maa smirked. “This is how it’s done.” Lifting his long-las he sighted down the barrel and sent three shots screaming downrange, blasting the head of Nate’s target apart in a shower of flesh colored gel and artificial blood.
The recruits jaws hit he floor and their eyes grew as big as soup plates, when a stern voice cut though their dumbstruckedness.
“All hands, prepare for emergency translation.”
Nate grabbed the railings in front of him and held on tight. As the ship shuddered violently Nate heard a clink and a cry of dismay. Turning his head he saw Jenkins chasing after an amasec bottle that had fallen out of his pocket.
“H-h-hold on too th-th-that r-r-ailing!” hollered Maa
As soon as the words left his mouth, the ship gave an almighty lurch and flung the occupants of the firing ranges across the room.
The world slowed down as Nate was flung through the air and saw the upside-down ghili-suited form of a sniper turning to look at him and recoil in surprise
“!”
SLAM!
Nate was laying on some sort of course material with leaves stuck to it, opening his eyes he noted the dog-tag three inches from his nose it read ‘JayneKateBob.’
Nate was puzzled ‘what kind of parents would name their son, ‘JayneKateBob?’
“Ahem” came higher than normal voice.
“Huh?” said Nate.
“Get off of me.”
Turning his head Nat beheld a glaring visage.
“Sorry sir, lost my footing” he said as Russki helped him up. “what was that lurch anyway?”
JKB regarded him coldly. “I have no idea” he said and walked off.
“Well he was friendly” muttered Russki.
“Yeah, I guess that’s what comes with big muscled guys.”
“What?” asked Russki.
Nate gestured in JKB’s direction. “Either he’s got huge muscle’s under that shirt or he's got huge man-boobs.”
Behind them there was a shout of triumph, as Jenkins found his amasec bottle, and hurried over.
“Hey what-” said Russki before Jenkins shoved an extra beer bottle at him.
“huh?” was all Nate could say before Jenkins handed him one as well.
“What’s all this?” asked Russki.
“contraband.” Hiccupped Jenkins happily while taking a swig.
Nate looked over at Russki, who shook his head furiously.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“And then I said to him...I…I…I forgot?” mumbled Jenkins as Nate and Russki guided him unsteadily towards the hab deck.
“Boy, muttered Russki, as he got a better grip on Jenkins’ left arm, “what did he have for lunch, bricks?”
“Maybe a space marine.” Grunted Nate as he dragged the all too heavy drunk back to the platoon hab.
Russki adjusted his grip on Jenkins’ shoulder again. “You know, I- what was that?”
“What was what?” asked Nate
“It sounded like… gunfire.”
Nate strained his hearing as they turned the corner “I don’t-AHHH!”
A small squad consisting of five ork ‘boyz’ was rooting through the platoon’s hab deck. Jenkins was dropped on the floor, as the other two troopers went for their las-rifles.
Nate sprayed a trio of las-bolts at the ork coming at him which was wielding a massive ‘choppa.’ the ork flew back howling as the bolts connected with it’s arm and blew bloody holes in it.
Russki managed to blast one’s chest plate off but the ork got up again, snarling.
Before it could do anything though, there was a loud rumbling, and the orks disappeared in spurts of blood and viscera.
Whipping his head around Nate saw Pfc. Bex rush in and chamber another autogun mag.
At this point Jenkins sat up. “What I miss?”

165 - Lord Commissar Von Humps - Marshal, Sir, It is in my belief, if requisitions would allow it, that we should include an Al'rahem Proxy in one of our platoons. It may be at the cost of several upgrades but well worth it to surprise the enemies of the mighty god emperor.

The ideas has been suggested before, we may look into some infiltrating training in the future, but our first few engagements will not require it for now.

131-Ovr. Purple-You're a trooper until you get promoted. Tanks may or may not be in our future but the Marshall will put you on a waiting list if they are. You also need to sign up on the recruitment thread in 40k discussions.

You are in alpha platoons heavy weapons team, a gunner with an autocannon trooper, you are, at this moment a gunner, which is equivalent to a private and if we get any tanks, you will be first in line for the tank commanders job. Number 76 trooper.

I was just wondering how the crews of the tanks be handled.
Will there be a commander, driver, gunner, ect. or only a commander position on the tanks?
Also, how will the destruction of the tank be handled? If the tank is destroyed, the crew is not necesarilly dead. How will you decide if the crew survives or not?

if it explodes, the crew died. i'm thinking a commander, driver and gunner.

I was thinking about the infantry, and how them getting removed as casualties only means they are unable to fight. It can be anything from them being shot to a bloody pulp to them tripping on a rock and being knocked out. I think you should devise a way, maybe a table to roll for what them being removed as a casualty means, to decide if they died or were just injured or incompacitated in some way. Since most of the army will likely be removed as casualties in every battle, this could prevent the army from having to be rebuilt every battle.
Something like this:
roll 1 D6:
1 light injury, back next battle
2-3 injured, misses 2 battles
4 major injury, misses 5 battles or is unable to seve because of injury
5-6 dead

You could have them absent for a few battles as if they were recovering from injuries.
Edit:
as for making it less likely that people die you could just count them as being injured and not killed when removed from the field.

The "Injured and forced to recover" rule might work out for you.
The rulebook even covers this by saying that "Even though a model may be removed as a casualty, this does not mean the model has been killed! It may have been incapacitated, injured to the point of being removed from combat, or just knocked unconscious!"
So if you wanted, you might be able to remove a model as a casualty and say that it's been wounded and forced to sit a fight or two out, or you might give the model a "Three strikes and you're out" rule, or something similar. Or roll dice on the casualties to help decide if he lives or dies.

What we will do is knock them out for a battle,unless a tank is blown up, in which case we will need a new tank.
the idea is, every person who survives will get a (1) as in 1 battle survived, should you die, this goes back to 0
23395
Post by: Gavo
Then how do new characters get phased in?
I like the sound of a D6 system - not as extreme as Seric's, but maybe a D4ish system: 1-3 is a light wound, back next battle, 4-5 is a bad wound, misses 1 battle, and a 6 is a fatality. Although keeping track of this will be a pain. haha.
20096
Post by: hlaine.larkin
this is my problem gavo, having to roll for that many casualties, i might do it per squad, so everytime a squad is wiped out (for example you would imagine if a squad loses 3-4 men they would be able to call in a medic for evac, whereas if they all die, then no one could..
so maybe if the squad is wiped out 1= dead, 2-5 miss a battle 6= light scratches, back for next battle, it also allows for 1 survivor to be heroic by dragging his squadmates back
20096
Post by: hlaine.larkin
new characters will only be an issue i think when we have filled the platoon, and with too much money (due to student loans and selling armies) and an ever growing collection (for example, 3 leman russes today) i dont think that will be soon

Tanks and their crew are currently counted as one number together.
You're 167 - Driver Pintus of the Leman Russ Battle Tank "Emperor's Honour". I do believe the tanks and crew are numbered together simply because the tank itself cannot function as one unit without all its parts working as one both mechanical and biological.

Our commisar was handpicked from the commisariat for both heroism and long term service on planets similar to catachans, so he may not be one of us in body- but is in spirt, so i should think overseer, if he does fall into quick sand, or suffer a malfunction that you are right, we will have more cannon fodder than before.

Lord Commisar Von Humps is the commisar and he is a proven gallnt hero worthy of being in a catachan regiment, i hand picked him specially for our regiment. if he were to die in a friendly fire 'accident' then i may 'accidentally' sign off the careless trooper to a penal legion.

Tank League
Tank Name | B.F | Inf. | E.Inf. | L.V | H.V| H.Q | K.P | O.O.A| Eff.|
Emperor's Honour 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Catachan Bell 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Marshall's Wrath 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Sentinal Squad 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Rules of the league-
1/ You must destroy the majority of a unit to gain the point for a unit
2/ if your vehicle is destroyed or immobilised AND a weapon destroyed it counts as an O.O.A
3/If your vehicle explodes, it counts as 2 O.O.A's
4/ the catergories are as follows..
B.f= Battles Fought. Inf= infantry squad gives 1 kill point. E.Inf- Elite Infantry-allows for 2 K.p. L.V - Light vehicle-allows for 3 K.P
H.V= Heavy Vehicle, allows for 4 K.p. H.Q enemy command allows for 5 K.P. O.O.A= Out of action. Eff.= Efficiency ratio of K.p-efficiency
the sentinal squadron have been grouped as one as they will fight as a squadron, also as they are mainly anti tank, and thus ar unlikely to kill a unit of infantry.
these are the tank rules at the moment, the actual one can be found on post number 1- does anyon want to improve it in any way?

the way it works is if anyone in the unit survives,the unit gains a (1) next to it, each battle adds a number. if the unit is wiped out, this is reset and i will roll a dice, on a 1 the entire unit is dead as reinforcement didn;t get there in time, on a 2-5 the unit is recovered but takes time to heal up and so miss a battle, on a 6 they are fine and fight the next battle. this saves me from theoretically rolling 160 dice at the end of a battle. the idea is if someone survived they would call in a casevac hence the unit survives.

As the only tank being fielded (i'm only gonna field one at a time) you will be a big target, so i can't guarentee your survival, as for tanks they will roll on the above table
but only every time it explodes. The tank will keep its name but will be appended with a II,III,IV etc, to show that it has been put back together with any bits that could be saved, but is mostly new
i will also roll for the crew

151-Pilot Karrick-We can get anything you need. Anything too illegal is Wolfhead's teritory. We might pilot walking cans but we aren't mad enough to tempt a term in the suicide squad. You can try Wolfhead but me and the lads have this in the bag.

Gentlemen, i don't think infront of the marshals eyes is a good place to discuss contraband, you already get generous rations

Post by: hlaine.larkin
the sentinals will fight every battle, so have an advantage there however, they are unlikely to kill any units apart from vehicles, so they are at a disadvantage in that regard

151-Pilot Karrick-It isn't contraband sir! Not if we don't get caught... oh right.

Post by: hlaine.larkin
all i am saying karrick, is if i got whiff of the idea that contraband was being bought and sold an got any idea of who it was, i would have to inform the lord commisar who is not renowned for his forgiveness. this is only if i found out something was going on

151-Pilot Karrick-Contraband sir? I can assure you i don't even know the meaning of the word and i would be happy to assist the Lord Commissar in tracking down whoever has been spreading illegal substances around the regiment.

Commander Seric: Oh, it looks like you might have some willing recruits after all, Overseer Purple. The crew of the Marshall's Wrath seem to just be dying to join your squad!
On the topic of the best tank, I currently have SWO Sam ,a sniper, up to possibly be my gunner, so we will see whose gunner is the best...
Which brings me ask, SWO Sam, would you like to be the gunner of the Emperor's Honour?

Just wondering, if someone is executed by the comissar, do they get a roll to survive? I don't think they should. First off it's kindo of hard to suvive a shot right through the head and secondly, because it is a punishment, Idon't think the Comissar would allow medical aid to the unfortunate man.

I think they are considered dead, period, as it is for punishment, but more often than not they will likely be sent to the penal legions.

Note to the entire crew of the Wrath- threats against the marshall is a bad move. the next member of your crew to make any threat, even in a joking sense towards any other member of this regiment will find themself with 131, if not in front of the commissars bolt pistol.

Okay chaps, our battle formation has changed and thus so will our regimental roster, when we field at large strength for what i expect to be a campaign weekend with 4 significant battles,
we will be fielding all 3 russes, 2 sentinals (on a rotation) with 7 infantry squads. again on rotation.
i have also eliminated a penal legion, and thus Ovr wasabi will be promoted to commisar attatched to gamma platoon, who have gained special outflanking training.

Sir a question about SWO, what are we being kitted out with? Specialist to each fight or we master our given weapon to the best of our ability and make it work?
If just the one, may I know the gun so I can get on the training grounds so I'm fighting fit and to the best of my abilities.

<lovingly strokes longlas and whispers sweet nothings to the machine spirit>
....what? My rifle can give me more pleasure than any of you 'men'. Oh wait <lowers voice> not that I'm not one of you. Yeah. Sure.
As for the Marshall's Wrath, Commissar sir, may I make the suggestion that they buy the entire regiment a round of drinks and call this matter quits?
160 SWO Sam, would you mind PMing me, please? (as I don't have time to trawl through 10 pages worth of thread to find your nic....)

What infantry squads will be reporting to combat, sir?
20096
Post by: hlaine.larkin
I am unsure at this moment in time, i will be collapsing squads into full squads soon and then the remaining 3 squads of gamma will be sent off for scout training.
as for the swo weapons, with the exception to JKB, you will have a flamer if you are part of a platoon or a melta if you are part of a sw squad. again, these have been changed- so i am going to work on reassignment in the morning.
