I'm working on a mission for my Dark Heresy group where the acolytes must infiltrate a lavish aristocratic party in the upper echelon of an Imperial Hiveworld. As you may have guessed, there's some Slaaneshi worship going on and they get caught in the middle of a pleasure cult ritual. The acolytes will have to make the best use of their roleplaying dialogue and fellowship skills (something they have neglected to do thus far in the campaign, preferring instead to fight anyone who crosses them) while at the party, uncover the mystery behind a secret society, or they may risk being tortured to death by depraved cultists.

I've drawn up some awesome characters and scenarios for this mission, borrowing influence from certain video games like Dishonored and Fable 3. It's not the most original subject matter, but I'm pretty proud of what is coming along.

My question to any other 40K roleplayers and GM's is, what is one of your best or most memorable original missions/sessions from a 40K RPG campaign?

This is what happened to my group on the 3rd game night.

I was on a wall and tried to kill a horde of Tzeentch horrors... I opted out, pulled the pins on all of my grenades and jumped into them, screaming "THE EMPEROR WILLS IT"

Like a boss.

Our group got into a fight with a Arbite. More showed up with heavier weapons, we didn't last long. I got clipped by my own Eviscerator, didn't help any

Well I was GM once when the players, 3 of them, were defending a vox-tower on top of a hive-spire from a insane gang of khorne cultists.

The cultists had to fire and charge across a narrow bridge and the first one to charge had a suicide-vest. He got his leg shot of.

And the second one, and the third one, and so on, kept getting their legs blown apart or they stumbled to the ground in some dumb way and eventually the whole bridge was piled up with 10-15 dead or wounded cultists.

Eventually one pc shot the crawling suicider in the chest with a lasgun, ignited the vest.... and well, boom. The macabre idea of his vest exploding in a pile of 10-15 cultists made us all roar with laughter.

They were a bit less happy when the bridge fell apart though.



On the more epic side, one group of players sort of partially by their own guilt and stupidity, cleaved a space-hulk in two above a planet. A spacehulk used as a space station, populated by a few million or so people. So yeah, oops.

The best campaign I played in was a Dark Heresy campaign that became a generational feud between the acolytes and a variety of home brewed xenos the GM had created. Many of us went from puritan to radical, and some made the arduous journey full circle. Only one of the original acolytes survived. however he was an excellent insane, gibbering corrupt Adept. It was nice to play without the usual Chaos hanging over us, and we really got to explore parts of the setting we usually ignored. This campaign started when the first Black Industries rulebook came out.

Close second was the NCIS and Hurt Locker inspired Only War campaign I ran. Players investigated their fellow guardsman and recovered, disarmed and sometimes used dangerous Chaos and Xenos artifacts left on battlefield.

Both campaigns are still ongoing, however we are probably changing ruleset to something like FATE.
