+++Rules and Game Mechanics+++

As a loyalist group of Terminators, you have been sent to lead the investigation and decontamination of a subject Space Hulk. Space Hulks, usually composed of thousands of abandoned starships, range in about the size of planets. They usually develope their own indivual Gravity due to their massive size, and can attract many unwanted species to live in their specialized, metal environment. Space Hulks are also prominent for their mass of resources, readily available to the imperium if the need does arise. But, the mass of potentially hazardous species hidden in the dark corners of said space hulk can prevent future excavation of usable materials. This is where you, the Imperuim's trusted Terminators, come in...



Rules:
1. No Godmodding; You maybe a badass grey knight Terminator, but your no Emperor.
2. Minor Cussing; Yes, your Terminator may cuss, but keep it low.
3. Be Respectful; If the GM tells you to do something due to game function or any other factor, please be respectful and listen to him. If you have questions about the request, that's fine, but don't be a jerk about it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While investigating the Space Hulk, 'Fallen Icarus', your Terminator will have to inact various tasks to progress and/or survive on this planet-sized ship. 

Some tasks your terminator can easily do without increased effort, are:Minor Movement; If it's either to charge through a hail of bolted fire, or just simply nudging your comrade.


These Actions do not require any input from the Terminator's Initiative, which scores how many normal Actions a Terminator can take in one turn. Some normal actions are listed below:Search/Data Collect; Many unknown wonders and dangers inhabit Space-Hulks, and a search or data collect may display their origin and status
Attack; Melee: Charging into close combat, your Terminator distributes a deadly Melee attack against one target hostile.
Attack; Ranged: Shooting into the fray, your character sprays out a barrage of bullets in a single ranged attack.
Flee; Flanking away from the current battle, your Terminator leaves from any current battle he was involved in and is regarded as Absent for the time being. But, next turn, they may renter the skirmish if it is still active, but cannot take any other actions there-after.
Use Equipment: If your character possesses grenades, health kits, or any other consumable equipment, they may now use them to their advantage.
Regenerate: Allowing their Terminator's armor regeneration to kick in, your Character is restored to full HP, and if they were unconscious, are now awake and at 1 HP. (Terminator's can only take an action, Regeneration, if they are not in combat.)
Use Pysker Ability: If your character is able to generate Pyschic abilities, they may conjure one for the time being.

HP and Wounds; While fighting, your Character gradually losses HP if he takes damage. If your character's HP is ever diminished to 0, your character is rendered unconscious, and suffers the loss of 1 Wound. If your terminator is ever to lose all it's wounds, it is seen as being dead or near death. But, don't worry, you'll be back in duty as a dreadnought in no-time!

Leadership Tests; Leadership tests are only taken when a character is reduced to half their maximum HP. They must roll (with the amount of Leadership dice displayed in their CS) a high enough number to succeed the test. If a character is to fail their indivual test, they must immediately take an action: Flee.

Calculations and other boring thingies; I will be taking care of calculations, dice rolls, etc., So you can focus on the amount of Tyranids currently swarming your Terminator. I have nothing to gain from picking favriotes and cheating on dice rolls, so I will strive to keep the game as fair as possible.
