Warhammer
40,000
C O M M A N D E R



This is an interest check for a nation states style game based on a system of planets orbiting a star within Games Workshops 40,000 universe.

You will take on the role of Imperial Commanders tasked with liberation, industrialization, salvation and bringing to heel an imperial system so that it is within the vision of His Holiness the Emperor of Mankind who resides on Terra, known to antiquity as Earth.

This game welcomes the new player and old veteran with equal respect (hopefully we will have an equal party of both!!).

The game will divide players into factions from the imperial loyalists, these loyalists, though different in approaches all worship the Emperor to some degree. They will be sharing and in some cases vying for governorship of one of the planets in the system. The turns will be divided into quarters Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 as such, four quarters make up a year. You are allowed to make 4 actions in a quarter and i shall roll for them behind the scenes and report the result. I will be using a d20 system, to increase the chances of critical successes, referred to as Nat 20s, and critical failures referred to as 1s. Players are encouraged to detail and differentiate their factions to apply bonuses to these rolls in the fashion of +1 etc. Anything above 11 will count as a success and anything below 10 will count as some version of a failure (as decided by the GM, me), synergising bonuses will have a big effect. I also encourage players to help eachother, politic and trade with each other certain bonuses and technologies.

Where it is stated, detail in posting will play an enormous part in the game. Your Commander will put the finer points on exactly how deals are made, how alliances are formed and what promises are honoured, all under the heat of battle in a galaxy where there is only war. Where applicable, the decision of the roll-offs will go to the player with the most detail, presented the most neatly, in the most timely manner. Simplified: the most awesome wins. Though bare in mind this is a casual game.

Playable factions include:

Adeptus Astartese
Astra Militarum
Adeptus Ministorum
Adeptus Mechanicus
Adeptus Arbites
Rogue Traders
Inquisition Ordo Junior

These factions are styled after the armies of the table-top but if you have an idea for one not mentioned feel free to post a query here. Each faction will come with a bonus and these are also negotiable. You will also have to detail a character sheet for your individual Commander should they ever meet another in battle or wish to lend their considerable skills to their faction on the front lines.

This is a universe where much is possible but only through service to the Emperor will true immortality be attained.


So prime your grenades, level your bolters and facing stance! Its time for another 40k game!

Welcome back, Commander.
