"Welcome, fine men of the Imperium. I have called you here today in the name of the Emperor, to fight in his noble battles.
Who shall join me, in His righteous purge?! Come forth and join our ranks now, or remain forever knowing that you could have joined us, in the quest for glory and freedom! With me men! FOR THE EMPEROR!!"The colonel cries this last sentence with a light in his eyes that could shine through to the far reaches of the galaxy, and illuminate the stars.
On a side note, welcome to the first topic I have started. I will be doing some roleplay with this powerful force of Scandinavian-themed guardsmen, but first I need to do some recruiting. So, without further ado, here we have the troop roster:
Just keep in mind that places are quite limited, so take what you can get is my advice.
Command Squad Tyr:
Colonel: Me, Otis The Barbarian as Thorgrim T. Fied.
Standard Bearer: Black Templar as Olf (name may be subject to changes)
Special Weapon: (not taken, get it while you can.)
Medic: Dragonheart as Glandorf
Vox Operator: Samus_aran115 as Ayyof (name may be subject to changes)
Command Chimera Skadi:
Driver: (not taken, get it while you can.)
Main Gunner: (not taken, get it while you can.)
Frontal Sponson Operator: (not taken, get it while you can.)
To explain the squad names, Tyr is the Viking god of war, and Skadi is the god of the hunt, and also the god of death. Names like Thor and Odin are reserved for superheavy tanks.
Also, I believe this is the closest I can get to theme music: (ignore the lyrics) [youtube][/youtube]

92% of teens have moved on to rap. If you are one of the 8% who still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your sig. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/3540/391068.page#3901023 "you know that sinking feeling when nobody follows the link!"
Also, to sign up, please use viking sounding names, and a profile WITHIN A SPOILER-THING, with the name visible without opening it. savvy?

Tali'Zorah: I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.
Commander Shepard: Well, I care deeply about the quarian people.
Tali'Zorah: It's good to be back on the Normandy.
Commander Shepard: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
Tali'Zorah: Hmm.
Garrus Vakarian: Uh, I was there when you two had your thing, remember? Just get a room and work it out.
Alright, so to do this we should make profiles like so:
Thorgrim T. Fied (Otis the barbarian)
Spoiler:
Rank: Colonel
Description/Bio: A tough, hardy man, Colonel Fied is the sole reason the Varangian 13th are never quite prepared to die. Trained as a Commissar, he decided that shooting men for cowardice was too depressing, and now leads a merry band of constantly drunk warriors of the Imperium. He once met Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, and famously beat him in a game of chess using only four moves.
Armament: A plasma pistol, (usually holstered,) two chainswords, (worn crossed on his back,) and a ridiculously oversized Astartes-Pattern power axe, which he wields two-handed to great effect.
Appearance: Standing at about 7 feet tall, this Nordic goliath has always used his height to his advantage in matters such as issuing orders (the 13th never take well to being told what to do,) and wears his bright blond hair about 50cm longer than imperial regulation. That is to say, his hair is 55cm long. His piercing blue eyes are described as luminous more than anything else. They have a jolly twinkle to them, and speak of many years spent drinking on the job.
Alright? and listen to the theme music while you write, if possible. Also, Ayyof and Olf don't really sound Nordic enough. No rudeness meant, just please revise them a little. I would recommend Eric, and possibly Svengal.

"HURRY UP YOU LOT!! THE BLOODY ORKS HAVE NEVER WAITED FOR A BATTLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GIVE 'EM FEEBLE EXCUSES LIKE; OOH, I WAS TOO SLOW FILLING OUT MY RECRUITMENT FORM, YOU CAN HAVE THE PLANET IF YOU WANT, MR ORK- I'LL JUST BE BACK FOR IT IN A FEW HOURS!!" The Colonel shouts through the doorway of the tent. He has received a vox-transmission a few moments ago, which described the size, armament, and direction of the nearest Ork "Waaagh". Standard procedure, they were all going to die. "COME ON YOU BASTARDS, HOP TOIT!!"
Yep, there you go. Go faster or cop a slugga round to the head.
