A nother good one if not ordo Xenos would be eldar farseer or artunch.

Maybe more likely a corsair or Ranger/Pathfinder.

I find it highly unlikely that either high ranking Eldar would ever work under a lowly "Mon-Keigh". If Ordo Malleus, it's possible (but very unlikely) that a harlequin would be working alongside the Inquisitor, but only if it's some super crazy powerful inquisitor who can handle the "truth".

I'm thinking "enjoys his job" as Pyromaniacs seem a bit Cliché.

And there's nothing wrong with enjoying your job .. a little too much. Especially when fire and burning stuff is involved

Right, to save me sending more PMs, ill post here for everyone

This is Remus's personal squad of Stormtroopers dubbed Squad Helborne

Ork landings went badly, and the greenskins managed to punch through the line and cause havoc. David and his platoon was

soon come and relieve them. After a week of fighting, reinforcements still hadn't arrived and David's platoon had been whittled
down to only himself and the squad medic Jason. When the promised support did arrive, Including Inquisitor Remus, only David still
stood, badly wounded but still defiant, his tanks long since dry and meta bombs used to crush dozens of the invaders under carefully

Hmmm looks good, but we still should get the other "Non" combatant classes like the hospitaler and the watchmaster in here as well as the marine duo, also just for personal intrest anyone who hasn't, post your equipment.
just a request.

Soric Ghast's equipment: Carapace Armour, Helgun, Autopistol, Machete, Frag grenades.

Toastedandy seems to have gotten the warrior classes (bar the Assassin and Astartes) out there. I'm liking the name Squad Helborne.

Reisen is right, anymore non-combatants would be interesting. As for a Kroot hunter, I think that's the only xenos that Inquisitors would accept (either reservations) and employ. It'll be hard to get a conversation going.

@dragonaj: What's artunch?

I think he means 'Autarch'

Scrazza wrote:I think he means 'Autarch'

Ah okay. I don't see why the Eldar equivalent of a general would be serving the Inquisition...

Head for the bunker!

Edited it to a spoiler to satisfy your wishes.

Scrazza wrote:Edited it to a spoiler to satisfy your wishes.

Sorry, just a quote that I wanted to use, but This is good foreshadowing.

Alright! Here's my equipment:

Surgical Lasers (close combat weapons that also double up as a medical tool!), laspistol and some dainty armour that is represented by a 6+ save....

We can start yet?

Now now, you can't just go callling up a Valkryie whenever you bloody well want.

I'll have the character sheets and mission briefing ready before that, but I think it's best that I don't start this until I'm actually able to commit to this roleplay, otherwise it'll be a job half done. Besides, there's still a bit of confusion from PM's I'm receiving about characters.

@Lord Harrab: Nice, a pyromaniac or just a fella that enjoys his honest job?

I was reading a book last night and they had these things in their ears called com beads, they were like little radios used too communicate on the battlefield, but obviously they didnt work while inside, underground, in a firefight, outside, upside down, basically anytime outside of arms reach. Do we get these? It would be a bit weird if we can all talk too each other all the time, but it would fit into the idea the inquistors had access too anything they need


Oh and could people post their final character sheet, just so we all know who is playing

EF is planning to post all the charactor sheets for the start of the RPso don't worry, thats all in hand.

As for the vox com, it makes sense for the inquisitior to have the ability to talk to everyone if needed, though I'd doubt that this would extend to everyone being able to talk to everyone, it would simply be a 1-1 basis. Space marines and higher ranking charactors may have access to better quality ones, but come on, do you really think Space Marines are going to be all chitty chatty with everyone?

Cool man, I like the 1:1 basis, so The inquistor gets overall control ie can get into any line, each leader of squad helborne, having one, space marines as standard


But instead of it been all chat all the time, do it like gaunts ghosts, simple clicks for confirmations, one word passcodes with unique answers so like
'silver'
'click'
so people listening cant intercept comms

Thats actually more of a stealth discipline, used when they are close to hostiles and spoken words could be overheard.

as for Comm-beads, they usually operate on a squad level, in that every man in a squad can contact everyone else in the unit, and have a range of several dozen meters, with the squad vox operator carrying a stronger unit that gives the sergeant access to the company net so he can be given orders and send status reports. Commissars, Inquisitors and other high ranking officers have access to the entire vox net for any given battle-zone.

As for encryption, that can be broken, depending on plot.

This is all divulged from various IG novels.

Since this is a hive world (most likely with arbites pressence)
do you think I could tap into thier channels (if needed) with my clearance and familiarity with abrites chatter codes?(Assuming they are the same on this world)
