You can keep your name, but there is no special title or rank for the position of Marbo.

I'd like to keep the name Hale Valence, and i was asking about the title as to what position in the army I am now?

So that i know what to put in my signature

I'm sorry, I misunderstood, you can keep your name, but there is no special title or rank for the position of Marbo.
Currently you are number 9 in the regiment.

ok ^.^ and I'm an independant character right? So i could make my own title latter on based on how well i do in battles

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.

So, I guess ours where quite off then, how about

"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

ye i know I put Hale Valence "Star of Terra" as my character name and title ^.^

lol. well, I deserve it more

well you probably do but I have it now ^.^

lies make baby jesus cry! *cries* yes, Im saying who I am lol

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 one to the middle right shall be larry.

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.

Just wondering, but would there be interest in a IRM channel, just like in the 222nd Catachan?

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!

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*

I know what not to smash.. And anyways, I like the flag

yes, both hitting the dummies and/or bayoneting them is a bad idea.
Shooting from a good distance is fun though.

who doesnt

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!

but they simulate what happens if you shoot an enemy that explodes when you shoot it... they really are very instructive.

And the rest of the lads are have so much fun with them too... look at FPS Russia over there, shooting them with his tricked out lasgun...

and they are impact explosive, not contact explosive, so you'd have to hit it very hard to set them off.

We are Batavirans, we hit everthing hard! Now stop complaining and get to it! If you have anything else to say, I'll alert the artillery crewmen.

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.
