Getting this thread back on track to what it's meant to be about:

So....after my laptop deciding to die, my camera running out of battery, being flat chat at work, getting a virus and a weekend away seeing my horse (hey, guess I did get off my horse, after all....) finally I can post up my characters.

It's standard procedure in our various rpg groups for the GM to hang on to the character sheets. Luckily, my b/f runs RT and our DW GM can't be trusted so those sheets are kept here, and I had the forethought to jot down my BC char's stats but don't have my DH sheet.

DARK HERESY
I can't remember my character's name.
So DH. Starting characters, it's a very laid back game (though we take it seriously whilst playing), just three of us playing whenever we and the GM have nothing to do and can all get together at his place. We've only played two games and both sessions have gone well.

My character is an assassin, rank 2, though the GM keeps freaking out at how weak our characters are cos we've been playing RT for so long.

Here's the description I sent the GM so he knew why I pulled a gun on another PC who thought they'd let off some ordinance "to see what happens" when it would have killed millions potentially, but I've not written up an actual background for this one:

I figure with what's-her-face, she comes from an upperclass family who raises regiments of guard, that's their main schtick. The nobles of that world all raise their regiments and send them off to war. It always stuck in her throat that they would quite happily do this, when they knew that a single bullet from an assassin or sniper could prevent a battle or even a war, but her father and his friends were too engrossed in their forces outdoing each other on the battlefield, and treated war like a game, and wouldn't be denided the fun of it (and their main source of income), and costing the lives of thousands upon thousands of the Emperor's loyal citizens. She came to a revelation, that she believes is born of the Emperor's will for her to have this revelation, that she should eschew her noble lifestyle, and delve into the lives of the everyday folk, living in squallor and ascetics. She picks and chooses her contracts. She may refuse a contract that would keep her in thrones for a year to take out a drug dealer so another drug dealer can rise in prominence, but take a commission worth a pittance to take out a swindler who screwed your grandmother out of her life savings she was going to use to retire in a higher level of the hive.

The mini looked better before it got sat on my a cat. And the flash on the camera has washed out all her features.


Sigh.

BLACK CRUSADE PRE-ADVENTURE
BARBAROTH
I played Barbaroth in the pre-adventure FF released. Had to share. I play IG so don't get to paint up pretties like Khornite Beserkers very often, but Khorne is my favourite Chaos God and my favourite vegetable. But I was a very good little World Eater and didn't frenzy and destroy the entire party upon meeting them.



DEATH WATCH
HJALTI
Hjalti's kinda cool but again no written background. He's a Blood Claw Space Wolf who hero worships our Ultramarine Brother Sergeant, much to the consternation of our Rune Priest, though really, the Rune Priest is largely to blame for it. The characters are good characters and a lot of fun but the GM is so bad that noone can see this game lasting into the new year. Believe it or not though, I rolled up the armour by chance Oddly enough I rolled up Wolf Tamer and the GM decided that meant I had a Fenrisian wolf with me. Whilst in the Death Watch. Go figure. But it has kinda been fun having the puppy around (Hopp) and has his own fate points In straight stats it looks a little like my BC PC but they're not really similiar other than they both do melee.

ROGUE TRADER
JANELLA MACHARIUS
This is the one we've been playing the longest. We take it fairly seriously but the game can be a little difficult at times with nine players. She was the Master Helmsman but two sessions ago got promoted to First Officer and the Lord Captain and I seem to be working together reasonably well so far.

I've posted the link to her bg earlier in the thread but here ya go anyway: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/360246.page

I'm not posting a bigger pic than this, the mini was terrible to work with and awful to paint, even after I stripped it down and repainted it after the first attempt. She has never been in a basilisk I just have a habit of painting whilst playing.


BLACK CRUSADE
THE JILTED
So, the brand spanking new exciting game...that I missed out on the first session of :( :( :(

My idea of the Jilted is that she has a very specific goal in mind - to retake Mallix Prime for the forces of Chaos (that's explained in the background) and try to hold onto her intelligence and self-awareness for as long as possible. Given the nature of the game, and that there are other PCs involved, none of whom would have any interest in the planet in question, it's a character goal, but I doubt it will become a game goal or be achievable during the chronicle. You never know though

The background can be found here, it's one of my favourites that I've written I think:

She's meant to have another chainsword but...well it fell off. But there will be one there And again the flash has managed to wash out ALL her facial features. Looks kinda creepy. But camera's outta juice so can't retake it.

CadianCommander, did you use a Grenade hand for the second Chainsword?

I fluffed up the first conversion so I have to admit my b/f did the conversion and yeah, there are like no empty right hands you can stick a chainsword in. So he stuck the chainsword around the hand and it looked pretty good (with the joke that it was a rare grenade hilt pattern chainsword). But then fell off :p Found out after, he hadn't really meant for it to be the final figure and didn't expect me to paint it straight away. Pfft. 'sif.

That happens from time to time CadianCommander. I've seen plenty of Space Marine & Chaos Space Marine figures have their Chainswords come off after having the weapon transferred from the original arm to a new one for the look.

Ack! Pepsi got spilled all over Janella's sheet tonight. Lucky I made a copy and posted it online just a couple days ago, eh? And thankfully her equipment list is still sorta legible.

Here is my PC. I converted her to the new Blood Of Martyrs stuff, though I was unhappy with the costs of all the talents and lack thereof of some of them, so we made some changes. They were the only fighting class without even a second HTH attack as even the adept got Swift Attack. We've just ascended so I've got some unspent XP. I've also borrowed a talent from Black Crusade, Sidearm, as well as a few rules turninh HTH combat a little more interesting. Since I am now running the game I've switched to a more NPC type role where she will picking up some leadership duties in the Order and a recurring role in adventures with some plots coming from her. Her gear depended on the mission parameters, but she typically totes her sword, Puritas (A Saint's relic), and either a hand flamer or bolt pistol. For heavy support duties she will bring out the stormbolter

Where are you getting base 13 on your Artificer Armour? It's Armour 12 and already counts as Master-Crafted. It can't be Master-Crafted again.

From the subdermal, at a guess.

H.B.M.C. wrote:Where are you getting base 13 on your Artificer Armour? It's Armour 12 and already counts as Master-Crafted. It can't be Master-Crafted again.

If you read under Master Crafted it states that Master Crafted Armor gets a +1 to all of its locations. Thus 13 Armor all around instead of 12 which is the baseline.

CadianCommander wrote:From the subdermal, at a guess.

Sub-dermal gives you a +2 armor to all location, this is counted in the 19.

The Master-Crafted is already included in the 12. It says it is already MC'ed so you can't go and MC it again to get AP13.

Interesting, the way that it seemed to read was that it was not built into to the stat-line of the armor.

I'm gonna go with HMBC here.

The write up for master crafted does say it increases the armour by 1.

However, Artificer Armour says that it is always master crafted, then gives the stats for Artificer Armour so it would already be included, because it is already assumed to have that plus one.

And thus why I created this thread in the first place. To help get things like this made more clear so that mistakes in character write-ups can be fixed.

FF can sometimes be hard to read and interpret, but that's nothing new in RPG source books.

Though those who dack on FF should probably realise that BC is the first game they've been able to produce on their own with no hold overs from the previous 40k RPG publisher and you can tell - it's much better than the others.

Dun worry hpred, we've all done it

We call it "doing a Nathan". It's now an official term in our gaming group meaning "cheating by accident"

I know there are more RPG players then this. Let those characters come to life.

I have two deathwatch Characters written up but Im at my brother's house so I can't pull them up.I also have a DH character in my mind who has a pretty cool fluff but I have never seen the stat sheets or the rule book so I can't make him.

What's the DH character you have in mind, jrmudo?

Hpred - FF have their own forums if you really wanna touch base with more RPG 40k players. I stick to dakka and share the love here cos I don't have time for two forums and I'm afraid of seeing spoilers from the GMs chatting It's a really good resource though for those that are running the 40k RPGs, I know a few who use it both for tips and advice on running the adventures and handling characters and players.

Last night was meant to be our Rogue Trader game. Then the GM came down with such severe conjunctivitis he couldn't see (or as we put it, his face got Nurgled)

We were hoping to play Dark Heresy tonight but then the GM for that got called away to for parent-wrangling duties.

Our Death Watch game is theoretically tomorrow. I'm opening a book on whether it goes ahead or not. At least if it's not, I can do some housework. We've not played for six weeks (though it's only a fortnightly game) but noone's had any confirmation from the GM that it's on.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the Tuesday public holiday after Christmas has been firmly scheduled for Black Crusade, starting in the morning and playing until the GM runs out of material or that evening, whichever comes first.

Well, I'm working on a new figure for Khremzzeek, he just received a present from Khorne in the form of a daemon weapon so I have to design a new figure.

*le bump*

Here's my SoB from the Dark Heresy group I'm currently playing in. Ironically, the Sister wasn't my first DH character, I had an Assassin before. Anyways: http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Elana

I also have a Void Master for Rogue Trader, but unfortunately this group has only ever played a single game so far. :( http://forprofitandplunder.wikispaces.com/Darion+Baylesworth

Lynata - first officer is wikkid fun. After....about nine/ten months in play I've just gotten that rank. Shame you've only played one game, for a lot of our guys RT is their fav game but the players need to be reasonably dedicated.

We've not played DH for a while but hopefully we'll get a game in soon-ish.

So.....we had BC today. The Jilted charged bravely into battle, her chainswords whiring hungrily, the scent of blood fuelling her desire for carnage.

And the daemon dodged my attack.

Then hit me for over twenty or some gak and killed her.

So, burnt my infamy point, lost eleven infany, gained ten corruption so went from zero to ten and gained a gift - psuedo-daemonhood.

So now she looks like a ravening daemonesque monster, I assembled a new mini whilst we were playing and Just started painting it. I'll post pics once I've finished.

The GM decided that instead of me and my b/f's char, who also went down in that fight, being out for the rest of the game session, we could come back after the end of the scene cos we'd only just started playing and it was our first major engagement of the chronicle.

Oh yeah, RT is quite enjoyable. With the exception of the future Rogue Trader, all characters started out with the ranks they're intended to hold in the future - we started out with the RT being an NPC, but the RT-to-be player character is his daughter, and daddy got into trouble before the vox went dead, so I figure it won't take long for her to assume ownership of the vessel.

I very much love the Void Master for he gives me the ability to ride that "British Navy" cliché to death. Occasionally it's a bit hard to replicate the talk, but it gives him that special something. Moff Ricus Kilran from TOR is going to be my new role model for him.

Trouble is that we only started playing RT because one of our Dragon Age RPG players was missing, but now she's back and we can't have two games on the same day. Gnnh. Well, I'm sure we will continue some day.

Your Black Crusade game sounds fun, too. In some way, your character dying to a demon only to come back as a half-demon is kind of cool. I always think that the manner of a character going out is more important than the question of whether he or she is dying at all.

Well, I worded that badly

You always take those ranks as PCs cos the Lord Captain chooses them. If you're not in the RT's inner circle somehow well...you're not exactly in the game. My char is a voidmaster master helmsman but with various changes in Lord Captain and other characters with people going down, changing their char or having to work the night we play, I got made the 2ic for the new Lord Captain. Perfect timing, I've maxed out all my flying abilities and can't actually in anyway be a better pilot than I am now.

RT being an NPC never works but sounds like it's just a plot hook to get a young, inexperienced inheritor at the helm, which will explain having a relatively inexperienced player (as an RT, inexperienced as a roleplayer) in the role which is kinda cool.

We've not played DH for a while but hopefully we'll get a game in soon-ish.

So.....we had BC today. The Jilted charged bravely into battle, her chainswords whiring hungrily, the scent of blood fuelling her desire for carnage.

And the daemon dodged my attack.

I have to say that it sounds interesting what happened to your character. Can't wait to see how your now figure turns out.

It's safe to say it's not quite as feminine as before.

WOO-HOO! That post finally got me past the Ogryn Status and onto Storm Trooper! Wait - why have I only got a maglight? Oh, makes sense. Hot shots are cool, but still only a step up from the lasrifle/flashlight.
