Warhammer 40,000? Deathwatch.

[Lotta Pumpkins]

Be a techmarine. Only thing off limits that I can think of are Captains, and Grey Knights. I suppose I'll extend it to being the head librarian, master of the forge, or head chaplain of your chapter as well.

Name: Arkhas, The Slaughter

Chapter: Carcharadons Astra, Aka Space Sharks

Equipment: Mark 6 “Corvus” Power armor, Eviscerator chainsword, bolt pistol, power gladius, digital weapons.

Biography: Arkhas was born a slave boy on some distant planet, beyond the Emperor’s holy gaze. He would only reach the age of 9 before the Space Sharks descended on the planet, like terrifying angels. They decimated the infrastructure of the world in a day. The militaries were leaderless and in shambles after 3. Total surrender was on day 4. The male children age 13 and below were taken on day 5, and on day 6, the planet burned, with it’s 3 million population of heretics. Arkhas remembers none of this, save for somewhere deep in his reptile brain.
At the age of 19, he complete scout training, and was inducted into the actual chapter proper. The Space Sharks however, are nomadic, and instead of being organized into official companies, they are assigned to ships. Each ship captain, also serves the same role as a company captain, leading his men as he sees fit. Arkhas was assigned to serve on the Nicor. It was from here he would conduct his terrifying raids for 200 years, adept as tactical and devastator marines, and master of assault. He was an angel of death on wings of flame, steed of steel, or born aloft in a land speeder. So it was here he would remain, for 200 years, before elevating to the Red Brethren, an inner circle of butchers allowed to fight in Terminator armor. In another decade he was in command of them. After four more decades of command, passing all chances at captain, he took the position of the chapter champion. He held this title for 20 years, before being sent to the Deathwatch for service.

Notable Achievements: Served two decades as the Chapter champion, losing only one singular combat. Served in the Badab war with honors. Killed 50+ heretics in the storming of Badab Primaris. Bested an entire squad of Khorne Beserkers in single combat.

Physical Description: Arkhas stands at a daunting 7 feet tall, a hulking barbarian. His skin, when seen, is a pale white, the color of a sheet, due to the mutated genes that mark his chapter. His eyes are a pair of black soulless pits, showing no emotion except for disdain. His left arm is no longer flesh and bone, and is robotic from his shoulder down. It is crude, and seals against the outside atmosphere, and serves as a constant reminder to the only time he has failed in his duties.
In armor, Arkhas always wears his “beak” helmet, and has the black armor of the deathwatch. His left arm is already silver metal, but he still wears the Inquisitorial shoulder pad. His right arm bears the shark of his chapter. On his back in his massive two handed chainsword, and on his right hip is his bolt pistol, his gladius being opposite on the left. Dangling from his neck, are several necklaces, with predatory animal’s teeth and jawbones, each one with delicate scrimshaw etched into it.

Class: Assault Marine

Personality: The word Cold would describe Arkhas the best, and even then, it might be too friendly. Outside of combat, he is quiet, not due to having a lack of words, but due to rarely wishing to impart his thoughts. Below the surface however, is a seething rage, waiting to boil over. In combat, Arkhas comes alive, painting with the color red, carving his way through battle formations. He feels no Joy, no pride. Nothing during this time, except for a deep anger and hatred, and a calm, collected, savage butchery. Arkhas believes in no higher powers, except for the armor he is clad in, and the weapons he uses to smite any in his path.

If anyone has an ideas for what the missions will be, or aliens they want to fight, make your case heard now. I'll take any suggestions by thursday night, so friday night/saturday morning I can post the thread proper and get this rolling.

"Whilst we stand, we fight. Whilst we fight, we prevail. Nothing shall stay our wrath."
—Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines

Name: William Selark

Chapter: Ultramarines

Equipment: Mark VII Aquila Power Armour
Two Servo-Arms
Hesh Pattern Bolter
Power Axe
Bolt Pistol

Biography: William was born on Masali into a farming family, his parents were always scared that one day William would be taken to become a Space Marine. The day finally came that, two days after he turned 13, he was taken to begin training. Through the grueling training needing , he finally became a space marine after years of dedication. Throughout his training, he showed proficiency with mechanics. 5 years of serving as a tactical marine had passed before he was admitted into the Adept Mechanicus. William was shipped to mars to be trained as a techmarine. He came back to his Ultramarine brothers a full-fledged techmarine. He spent the next 80 years serving the Ultramarines as a techmarine, until when he was 106, he was seconded to Deathwatch. Ready to slay and cleanse the known galaxy of Xenos scum, he joined Deathwatch and begun his Deathwatch journey.

Notable Achievements: Fought against the Orks in the Assault on Black Reach along side Cato Sicarius, Fought against Hive Ship Behemoth for 10 years. Is renowned for his ability to fix and maintain mechanics.

Physical Description: Short Black hair, X scar on his nose to cheek from fighting a Tyrannid. Looks like a generic space marine with his helmet off. His armor is black, the colour of Deathwatch, save for his helmet which is red to signify that he is a techmarine. His right shoulder is blue and gold with the symbol of the Ultramarines on it, his left should is a black and white with the Skull of the Deathwatch. He also has the symbol of the Adept Mechanicus on his right thigh (on his armor).

Personality: William is a very loyal marine, during his 5 years before he was admitted into the Adept Mechanicus, he has always been 100% with the Ultramarines. When his loyalties were torn from the Adept Mechanicus and the Ultramarines, he too was torn. But he has learned to adapt from his Techmarine training, and since then have always been quick to adapt. William is also a very open person, able to befriend his fellow marines quickly, but since becoming a Techmarine distrust has fell upon him. The only marines that he has close relations with are his Techmarine brethren. He spends most of his spare time with fixing or creating Mechanics or sometimes the other Techmarines.

I don't think we should include Head Librarians, Head Chaplains, or Masters of the Forge as they wouldn't join Deathwatch due to the fact that they are already heads of the Chapter. It's kinda like the Chapter Master leaving to join Deathwatch but on a smaller scale.

Also, maybe we could do something with hunting chaos demons then having a run in with Chaos space marines, that would be interesting.

[dorkblade]

That wouldn´t be really cannonical. Deathwatch is chamber militant of Ordo Xenos, their usual enemies are Space elves, Zergs, Greenskins, Taus and Crons.

[0Zeroes]

Alright, Tyrannids it is.

[dorkblade]

I think that fighting a genestealer cult on some medieval planet could be pretty interesting.

[Lotta Pumpkins]

Alright, vote for tyranids received

[Nobodyman123]

So what do we have so far, chapter and squad role wise?

[Lotta Pumpkins]

Space Shark kill bot, Ultramarine techie, Blood angel sanguinary priest, Dark Angel tac marine.

[Nobodyman123]

Got room for a assault marine? I might roll up either a space wolf or a black templar.

[Lotta Pumpkins]

That's fine

[Psyker Landshark]

So is it alright if I write up a CS then? Want to play a Blood Raven tac marine or Librarian.

[Lotta Pumpkins]

Go for it. You can play, will put us at 10, which could be two squads of 5.

[Psyker Landshark]

Alright. I'll get to work on CS after this game of League.

[Nobodyman123]

Any restrictions when it comes to equipment? Cause if I make a space wolf I kind of want him to have a frostblade.

[Lotta Pumpkins]

I trust everyone's judgement

So.... yes on the frost blade?

[Lotta Pumpkins]

Yeah. Rule of thumb. If you saw however many weapons you're putting on your character, on a high quality model, and you wouldn't think it's stupid, go for it. So if you're a devastator, and you have two heavy bolters, it might look severely stupid.

As for wargear limits, I won't impose any. I trust you guys won't be idiots and give someone a thunderhammer, powerfist, mounted with revolving plasma pistols around the wrist to negate overheating. Keep it reasonable to fluff, and your vision of the characters.

TL;DR use a frost blade, just don't also bring two more to wield in each hand and his mouth, one piece style.

[Lone Wanderer]

No more blood angels to use my blood chalice on, and then execute if they get the Red Thirst. Damnation...
Also, if anyone was going to be a chaplain, please do. A Sanguinary Priest is a chaplain in terms of boosting morale spiritually but only with those dealing with the Red Thirst, although he may give some emperor filled speeches IC. I guess you could say he is a main healer/ off chaplain.
