My friends and I were starting a Dark Heresy campaign and were going to have the characters make a Deathwatch character in addition to their regular character so that if things go to hell they've got some heavy guns in support. The only problem is that we can't seem to find a suitable set of stats or rank tables for Deathwatch/Marines. Could someone point us in the right direction?

Thanks,

The Walrus

http://www.darkreign40k.com/latest/tyranus-conclave-adeptus-astartes-supplement-available-again.html i spent a painful hour looking for this so enjoy, i am trying to get a a game started as well so if you need a few players, or just one a pair of people to try your games on before you let your friends play(play testing woot) well anyways i hope this helps, as for my group, it is myself and another marine player, we are just looking for a gm at the moment, so anyone looking to play at all feel free to PM for details(sorry if i hijacked your post)

**IAmTheWalrus**

Not at all, hijack away.

And thanks very much for the link.

Now I know as well, thanks awfully

We're starting a campaign here in SA too, have a GM just not enough players. He is going to roll up & play the rest of the team so long. I'm a short, effete (hellooo laddies

) Void-born (on a Rogue Trader) Tech-Priest by the name of Krell Metalus (appropriate hey) with a penchant for hacking systems (including servitor neural nets) and practical jokes - especially those involving blowing things up

. Our handler is that crazy noble lady & non-Inquisitor Xeno-hunter in the main rulebook.

Fun is going to be seeing my pal who's the GM trying to play a noble lady when he's very much a red-blooded male! At least she's not a conventional lady and he's not going to be GM'ing a conventional team either

Playing some of the team members will help too, but then he will have the problem of playing them like they don't know her plans and schemes. Should be fun!

Will endeavour to post some of our adventures in the fluff forum for your viewing pleasure

In our first game of Dark Heresy, a member of our group( voidborn psyker ) got hit by a zombie with a crowbar. He lost 90% of his health points! And the hit was on the leg!

Obviously mashed an blood vessel or two, the guy is lucky to be alive. Meeediiiccc!

We had a lot of strange incidents. My group once fought in a huge library against cultists of a sect. One groupmember decided to call the Adeptus Arbites Department ( the library was already on fire). He called the arbites with a telephone(!) standing on the table in the main hall(!!). While phoning, he was hit in the shoulder by a handfull(!!!) of autoguns and later needed a bionic arm!

that reminds me when the IG player was boarding a ship and trys to crawl "under" a light source as in the light is coming from an ally way from ground level, needless to say the gene stealer spotted her, and proceeded to beat the gak out of her, breaking an arm and her user hand at that(so she lost the choice to use her shotgun), and leaving her with 1 wound left, the character just never got a break in the fight, she ate up two paks of las charges, only to have a lucky las pistol shot(after the fight she only had 3 shots left in the pak), to cause it head to explode, needless to say that character died...and painfully

When my group entered a small restaurant to follow a man they were watching, a drunk ganger stole the psyker´s psy-bar to use it as a hobbyhorse. Good times!

i have to say the funniest thing that happened to date was when my Blood Claw burst a door in, the door flew off its hinges and crushed a cultist on the other side, then the other got a face full of bolter rounds, that was the funniest kill i have seen so far, death by door

**IAmTheWalrus**

Hey, stuff like that happens in real combat. Well, maybe not death, but severe injury by door.

The U.S. Army it's people to kick the door as hard as they can because insurgents have a nasty habit of hiding behind them. I've heard stories of them getting concussions and stuff from doors.

So yeah, we´re back on topic Does playing Space Marines work for you three? I think fighting between normal humans/minor daemons/Zombies/ mutants is already really hard and furious In Dark Heresy. Do you have to use a whole flood of enemies when you´re playing SM?

Also, another funny gaming moment was in D&D. I was gamemastering and a gnome-player had a weasel as a pet. I said.: You can see the shine of burning torches down the floor. There has to be a great cavern. Player.: OK, I will send my weasel to spy out what´s going on. Me.: ok, it runs away to come back after a few minutes. Player.: Yeah? What does it say?
Me.: Uhm.... Snmirrrf?

Edit.: Sorry, my text is part of the quote now....
