Feel free to sign up for any position, from Land Raider Driver to Lord Castiel. You can also add in non-listed characters if you want. There is no restrictions on what wargear is available to you, within reason. So if you want to take a Volcano Cannon you are SoL, but a Conversion Beamer is fine. The combat will be mostly city based and prominently feature human sub-factions. This can carry into the Heresy and I will let you pick the side if you so choose. Gameplay will be mostly free will, the only rules being no killing any other player characters and we must remain as a largely centralized force. A sample character sheet is:

Name: Tarzeil

Position: Acting Captain

Wargear- Terminator Armor, Logic, Reason, Cyclone Missile Launcher.
Logic and Reason- A pair of Lightning claws from when he was first given his armor, they were named in honor of a joke made by a giant green swamp dweller that he eviscerated and they include a set of chain-blades.

Background- Before becoming a Space Marine, Tarzeil was a tunnel rat on Cthonia. He had to steal and scrap for every last morsal of food he got. One day he attempted to steal from one of the warriors of Horus, but the armored giant caught him. Instead of killing him as was the custom, the Chaplain saw something inside the boy and took him to be made a space marine. He was placed in the tutelage of the Little Star, a renowned scout sergeant that tried to teach him stealth and patience. But every attempt failed as his reckless nature overtook his judgement. He one a great many victories and slayed many foes, but it was clear that he was no scout. And so he was given to the custody of the Devastators. Here he showed significant improvement, his accuracy with a missile launcher as widely known as his brazen acts. He was one of the first marines to ever attempt charging a horde of Orks brandishing only the trusty steel of his missile launcher. The company commanders tried to put his skills into a more practical field, that of the Assault Marine. Here he did shockingly poor. He could never get the jump-part down and would end up doing more damage to himself than the enemy whenever he used his pack in combat. His commanders were utterly baffled as to what to do with him until one day, when the very Chaplain that had found him came before them and suggested that he be given the holy Terminator Armor. The commanders took four years to decide on the matter, a time in which Tarzeil did nothing but train. They finally decided to humor the old man and gave Tarzeil his own set of Terminator Armor. Tarzeil put it to good use, taking a pair of Lightning Claws and a Cyclone Missile Launcher with him to battle. He proved the old chaplain, Castiel, right a thousand times over as he grew in rank and renown. He was eventually asked to join the first company, the elite Justaerians. As he rose through that he became a great friend of Abbadon and when he left to perform his sacred duties in the Mournival, it was Tarzeil that was chosen to take his place.

Personality- Very friendly and almost childish, always keen to make a game out of the situation, some of the older and more brooding members find him an annoyance, but none can doubt his tactical skill and combat prowess.



So now its your turn, join the Beloved Sons and fight for your Warmaster!

Y'know I'm a sucker for this. Sign me up as a Dreadnought. Profile coming soon.

Excellent, I hope we can get the whole gang on board

Storage space, don't delete yo.

ge?

You've got your position

Name - Israphel the Fierce

Position - Contemptor Dreadnought

Wargear - Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon, Blackspear

Blackspear - A huge spear that crackles with energy, it has a jagged obsidian tip on either end. The polearm is considered tainted by some suspicious Luna Wolves, yet it's power is undeniable.

Background - Israphel was one of the first marines ever created. He has fought alongside Horus personally, as a loyal bodyguard. However, on a particularly dangerous capture and control mission, he was brought low by an Eldar Grav-Tank's turret weapon. His armour was of no use, corroded into bubbling slag. Had it not been for the Warmaster carrying him back to receive treatment, Israphel would have died. His ravaged body was entombed in the might of a Contemptor Dreadnought. He had the fabled Blackspear forged for him, a weapon so powerful that it is rumoured to be tainted. Israphel is not a tactician. He is a fighter through and through.

Personaliity - Frenzied, Dedicated, Fanatic

No more special hugs!

For honoured end do we strive
Now only standing through our drive,
one fell day we shall surely fall,
in glorious death we still stand tall.
Once our Lord, now all but carrion,
He sent no angels when he heard the clarion.
Following blindly is their way
We lie content to let them bray.
Gods shall fall and men will rise,
On deaf ears fall fearful cries.
Offers salvation, gives only death.
We shall curse him with our last breath.




Name - Ryus

Position - Champion

Wargear - Artificer armour, the Bloodbane, master crafted bolt pistol.

Background - Ryus is a fairly new addition to the Sons of Horus, and was an average fighter, with no remarkable skill or specialisation and because of his lack of skill, was brooding and quiet. That all changed one day on a assault on a xenos temple venerating some strange, alien God. While burning it and its strange keepers to the ground, Ryus discovered a strange blade locked away in its vaults. A sword. Engraved upon it were the words that roughly translated to 'Bloodbane'. Ever since his possession of the blade, Ryus' skills have trippled. It is that great skill which gained him the rank of Champion.

Bloodbane - bloodbane is a large sword seemingly made out of an incredibly hard, diamond-like substance. Though usualy transluent, upon contact with blood it turns a glowing shade of red.

Personality - Ryus is quiet, but charasmatic and friendly. He is very loyal to those he considers allies. Although hard to anger, when he does become angered, he can become incredibly violent.

Awesome, great characters guys, and we can start once we get 3 more people, sound good?

Yippee, I think...

I usually try to avoid that when I can .

Should we have a posting order or just go with the Iron Serpents system?

Iron serpent way sounds good.

Double post

Or we could start now if you guys want and have other guys hop on as they wish

Do you mind if I join? One quick question though, to what degree will chaos come into this? i would love to see some real corruption spreading in through some members (namely me, haha)

Always room for one more. And chaos can feature as heavily as you want, but I'd prefer a long slow decline. Casually start putting things like "gods help us" instead of "emperor help us" so theres not just a major drop off

So just make a character sheet and we'll bee good to go

obviously, no point in joining as an honoured terminator and then going "sod the emperor, i have claws now, muhahaha"

Then i think i shall be:
Sgt. Alexus Dominatus, leader of the 2nd terminator squad "the kingslayers"

Wargear: teminator armour, The Lunar Claws, Cyclone Missile Launcher, and brutality

Background: A hive ganger from House Goliath, Alexus was a giant of a man from an early age; towering over his peers, he quickly ascended in the ranks of the Goliaths, leaving a bloody smear in his wake. He soon grew far to big for his even bigger boots, and got himself way in above his head, trying to challenge members of the arbites and even the imperial guard to unarmed combat. Those of them foolish enough to accept found themselves being crushed by his enormous hands without even landing a single punch. This attracted the attention of the local authorities, who devised a clever scheme to introduce Alexus to a very sticky end; they forced a conscript to challenge him, and arrange the fight to take place right in the middle of an area through which a detachment of space marines would pass, hoping that when they saw the violence, they would put a swift end to the monstrous man.
The day came, and indeed the 'fight' was stopped by the space marines, attempting to swat Alexus into a plasteel girder and kill him nonchalantly, one of the battle brothers was taken aback when the gigantic man (who still only came up to the marine's chin) grabbed his arm and using all of his might, stopped the blow. The entire squad of battle brothers turned on Alexus, and were about to crush him into a fine paste on the pavement, when their seargent stopped them. he knocked out Alexus with a stealthy blow to the head, and had the marines carry him to the battle barge to be inducted. A man of that power could become an indomitable force as a space marine, given the right guidance.
As a scout, Alexus was a horror to train, stealth did not come naturally to him by any means, due to his size and base instinct to crush the skull of anything remotely hostile that came within a few feet of him. However this was soon drilled out of him by his training, and replaced with an unstoppable will to conquer and lead. He never mastered any form of stealth or subtlety, and was immediately dispatched to the assault squads , where he took great delight in using his massive frame as a more deadly weapon than his chainsword, preferring to crush his enemies rather than engage in combat.
Excelling as an assault marine, he was soon promoted to seargent, and was awarded a pair of exquisite lightning claws, which he dubbed "The Lunar Claws". A natural leader, he drove his squad into the depths of brutal combat, always ensuring that every one of his men left alive, and not one enemy was left in less than three pieces. The older and more experienced marines frowned upon his zeal, however none could deny it was effective. His skill soon saw him chosen to lead a squad of terminators, though he refused to give up his beloved lightning claws, so was assigned to wield the cyclone missile launcher for the squad. His use of it however, was somewhat illogical, using it more for shock and awe than anything else; he would often fire it just before reaching combat range with his lightning claws, in order to stun and scatter his foes, and leave any cover they were utilising useless.

"The Lunar Claws" - a pair of beautifully made lightning claws made with dexterity in mind. Each claw is a separate, articulated digit, made from an impossibly hard, black crystal. Thunder cracks as the gauntlet slices through the air, releasing a terrible flash of lighting as they strike a foe.

Personality: rash, violent, and occasionally sadistic. however he is a natural born leader, and always gets the job done, counting any losses in his squad as his own personal responsibility. Conversing with him after the death of a squad member is not advised.

Very nice sheet. I'll make an RP thread and we can start.

Cheers, I quite enjoyed making that, this is definitely something i should have looked into earlier.
