@1had & Manchu - you guys might want to consider compromise on Chapter, or declare to be allied SMs

Oh dear me, we IG are in trouble...

IMO, it's a little early to be all doom & gloom.

But feel free to recruit a team.

This will be my first attempt at a survivor game but Mind if I jump in? I can go wherever I'm needed

Welcome aboard!

It's an open signup, and right now there are IG & SM factions forming. As EF is a little worried about teammates, I'm sure he'd be delighted to have an Imperial Guard teammate.

OTOH, you play both Tau & Orks, so I'm sure you'd be welcome as an Eldar (closest match) or Ork player, too.

Be a little flexible and I'm sure you'll end up on a good team.


BTW, if you have any questions about the rules, now's a good time to ask them.

I'm open for Which ever team that's short handed. As for rules I looked over thread Pretty sure I got jist of it. Checked out some of the other survivor games too.

Maybe we could:

1) Form a space marine team = chapters in a strike force ( codex + DIY )

2) Form a space marine legion = successors bound by their origin ( IF, BT, CF,...)

3) Form a chapter, but then we would need companies. ( 1-10th ).

I am open for suggestions. Would play any of the 3 variants, and more if asked for.

@ EF:

Guard is screwed? Their lives belong to the Emperor. Just spent them well.

Guard always get screwed (For the Emperor). What else would they do with those balls of steel?

Now that I'm "free" of the Strat Surv, I'm thinking to play a non-Leader role on whichever team looks like it needs an extra warm body. I probably won't decide until later in the week.

So I am in the 3rd co?
How about : brother Hein Hacksieum ( ASM ) charger?
Should every team have a "healer" of some sort?

I'll join as orks??

If it's not too late, can I join?
I guess I would be Eldar considering Inquisitorial forces aren't in this, but if it has to happen I guess I could be IG but "Inquisitorial".

As for names
If Eldar, Seachmall
If Inquisition (ie IG), Inquisitor Hohenheim

Eldar being the prefered role with IG as a back up in case of availability.

Unless you want to split off, or specifically care to rename things... Manchu was faster about the naming bit. I really don't care per se. Personally, I like Black Templars.

Works for me!

It's not a bad idea to have a healer, Or to hit like a ton of bricks.

Yes, but a 1-man team won't last very long... Better if you join an existing team, perhaps CSM.

You certainly can!

As with the Orks, a 1-man team won't last very long, so I'm going to mark you as attached Inquisition to Guard.

Inq. Hohenheim works just fine.

Please pick a "Role", or I'll assign one.

Is there a limit to how many of each role can be on a team? Besides leader of course

I guess I would go either Medic or Tank.

@n0t_u: no limit on non-Leaders, so I'll double-up the IG Medics to see how that works.

@the_ferrett - I initially assign you to CSM to balance things, but if others show interest, please feel free to start Orks!

Wouldn't our glorious leader need a rank too?

OK, "Sgt" will do just fine.

Okay, let's be Black Templars. I don'y know much about their organization but we're probably not a "company." I'm sticking to the name Teutonio, which strikes me as just as appropriate for BT as IF. Although it could probably use a "von," eh 1hadhq?

We are ready to do the Emperor's Will!

@Manchu: "von" would make you Nobility.

BT recrut from a lot of different sources on their way. May also include nobility. Some stuck in the medieval age human cultures could see SM as 'knights in space' and beeing chosen a honor, planetary bound aristocrats may strive to achieve this.
If you want to be a 'von'...ok.

Also, BT aren't codex, crusade is fine, standard unit would be lots of 'paladins' and some neophytes ( trainees ) but no SGT.
Maybe a veterans squad of swordbrethren? They got more wargear and specials like furious charge...
Still, they don't have that many 'officers', just a chaplain, the EC and a 'captain' ( castellan, marshal ).

Update:

Board & Locations
With 3 Kill Teams on the Board, I'm thinking 5 or 6 Locations will be sufficient. Some of the Locations will grant extra (or deny existing) Special Abilities (e.g. +Sniper for high ground / -Sniper for a pit).

Theme
As it is shaping up as SM v IG (& Inq) v CSM, the board will be themed as a Relic World. That's plenty reason for Crusaders, a junior Inquisitor, and Chaos to fight for rumored hidden Archeotech. Think of it like Mordheim in Space

Relics & Monsters & Drones
There will be some Relics to be found, "Monsters" (non-moving NPCs), and "Drones" (friendly NPCs).

Details of the board and such will reveal on Monday, however, teams might anticipate the following to be meaningful:
- Bloodletter
- Servo-Skull
- Ambull
- Conversion Field
- Combat Servitor

Formatting
In general, the board will be presented like this (using the BT as example):

1. PIT (-S)
Sgt. Neinhalt Krieger (BT33 SM-T/L) ... 15
Bro. Teutonio Brutus (BT33 SM-T/A) ... 15
Bro. Hein Hacksieum (BT33 SM-T/C) ... 15

2. MOUNTAIN (+S)
...


How to read it?

#. LOCATION (+/-x)
LOCATIONS are numbered, and in ALL CAPS. In Parentheses is the Role modifier (+/-)

Characters are named per their choice, and tagged with:
- Team ("BT33" for the Black Templars 33rd Crusade),
- Faction ("SM" for Space Marines), and
- Roles (e.g. "T/L" for Tank and Leader)

Turns

I recommend to mark hits with "--" and heals with "++", along with active player "<<" so others can see what's going on.

Also, please give a quick summary of the actions, per the original post.

NPC 's

Should bring some cenobites to carry the claimed relics.....

I see nobody named Grimaldus, but we'll see about those Cenobyte Servitors..
