This is a Warhammer 40K RPG, there will be NO Godding.

This is the Storyline: On the edge of the galaxy a mysterious planet has emerged out of the warp. The only life forms known to be on this planet are the savage Tyranids. Many races have begun to investigate this planet to try and claim the planet for thier own, while gaining all the resources it holds. The planet has been named Rak'noll by the Tau who wish to absorb this planet into the Tau Empire. Meanwhile other races look at this planet with an envious eye and it appears that before long the races of the galaxy will mobilize thier armies and prepare for battle for the precious resources under the surface. However adamantium alone is not the only thing that lurks under the grassy plains of this planet. The battle for Rak'noll begins.

Races: Daemons, Chaos space marines, Orks, Space marines, Humans (Imperium), Humans (Chaos), Kroot, Tau, Necrons and Tyranids.

You must choose one of the following races , you start of at level and continue to level up through backstory posts about your characters life and decide what you do by voting when in situations that all players are in such as

• A : Begin mining
• B : Leave the planet

This is just an example of situations which you must decide what to do, after an important situation you will level up.

Important situations involve you making decisions that will affect your quest such as leaving the planet or blowing up a city.

When you create a character you must fill out this sheet. When you join you can have three one handed weapons or two two-handed weapons (although only two one-handed weapons or one two-handed weapon can be wielded at a time. Grenades and armour do not count towards this). Players are limited to 9-10. The sheet below is an example to what you should type:

Name: Shas'kais

Full Name: Shas'ui T'au Kais

Appearance: Tall, athletic, standard Tau in Fire Warrior armour with Shas'ui markings.

Personality: Serious, humorous side, open.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I will not be GMing I just thought of the background story. My friend will be GMing and doing the rest of the story.

**Catos**

Name: Catos

Full Name: Catos Sonus Sicarius

Appearance: Standard Marine, Without Helmet, With Hair!

History: Catos is the son of Ultramarines Captain Sicarius and is heir to the dukedom of Talassar. Catos however ran away from home and joined the Ultramarines chapter, unaware that his father was the captain of the second company. Catos showed great potency in close combat and was very lucky when it came to the small problem of plasma pistols. Nevertheless, he rose throungh the ranks and ironically was placed in the Ultramarines second company, much to the amusement of his fellow scouts. He was also remarkably proficcient in protecting his mind from the clutches of daemons, such as the assault on Ulthrax IX

Wargear: Power Armour, Shadowbolt Sword, Frag and Krak Grenades, Masterfully Crafted Plasma Pistol created for the duchy of Talassar.

Game Start

**mcsessions90**

Kais, a shas'o commands you to explore the land to the east. For the first few miles everything is as normal, a grassy plain stretching to the horizon. One of your fire warriors points out a large depression in the grass. Your squad stops, taking up firing positions, awaiting orders.
Do you:
a. Shoot to kill.
b. Invesigate, guns drawn.
c. Invesigate, guns not drawn.
d. Walk around without looking.
e. Return to camp.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

B I'll go for.

**mcsessions90**

As you approach, you see an injured tyranid warrior in the grass. It is almost dead and has lost a lot of blood from a bullet wound in it's leg. As you arrive it lifts its head. From somewhere, it staggers to its feet, looking at you before stumbling backwards.
Do you,
a. Kill.
b. Let it leave.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

B There is no honour in killing a defenceless enemy.

**mcsessions90**

Catos, where do you land the strike cruiser?
a. Near the tau camp.
b. In a big black swarm that appears to move.
c. On the rock.
d. In the woodland on the east side.
e. In the woodland on the west side.
f. On the grass plains to the north.
g. On the grass plains to the south.

**mcsessions90**

Kais:
The tyranid staggers off and appears to fall after around 250m.

**Catos**

C: I request to captain sicarius to land on the rock and to ask permission to lead a reconissance mission into the woodlands to the east.

**mcsessions90**

Catos:
Permission granted.
As you travel into the dense woodland, russles in the undergrowth put your marrines on alert. As you continue through the forest, occasionally picking up a rare mineral sample or two (draxyline, etc), a native beast, a reptilian creature with 14 legs and an unhingable mouth launches itself out of the undergrowth. Two more follow. What you you order the squad to do?
a. Kill.
b. Threaten beast.
c. Run.

**mcsessions90**

Kais:
What do you do next?
a. Investigate where the tyranid fell.
b. Change direction.East/West
c. Return to camp.
