Warhammer 40K: Recovery in the Damocles Gulf.

Approved...

Also, i had another Idea, one for an Alternate Timeline Warhammer 40k RP... Although, i warn you, it's not an action RP, but instead, is a Political RP with minimal amounts of violence in it:

In this universe, the Horus Heresy never happened... When the Eye of Terror was created, it was not as large, it didn't cripple the Eldar Empire as badly as it did in the standard universe, the Eye took only 30% of their entire population, rather than the 90% in the standard timeline. And Erebus' plans to make Horus fall to chaos failed and Horus killed him for it. Things seemed to progress as one might expect, the stalemate seems to continue, as the Eldar managed to hold back the Imperiums advances. The Orks and Necrons are just as big a problem as ever, but Chaos' influence has dwindled substantially, There are Chaos Space Marines, just nothing close to the amount there are in the Standard Timelines, in this timeline, each Chaos Space Marine tend to lead their own Warband of Cultists and Bloodletters. They are not the problem they used to be.

It has been 9,000 years... The Primarchs have grown, evolved from the "Petulent children with unlimited power" into "Conniving adults with unlimited power." The Emperor is in recluse as he has aged, The Golden Throne IS being used. Although, rather than to keep the last shred of his existance in this world, it's primary purpose is to keep the Emperor's strength up as it begins to wain in his old age. the only people to see him are the Primarchs and the High Lords of Terra.

This will begin with Political unrest in the Imperium, there are talks of changing their policy on Aliens. Sanguinius, backed by Horus, is currently fighting the High Lords of Terra, suggesting that they open peace talks with the Eldar, especially now that several of the Legions have run into trouble with the Necrons. Since intelligence suggests that the Eldar know a fair bit about the Necrons, and that they despise this enemy with a passion, Sanguinus believes that they should call a cease-fire, or even an alliance with the Eldar, to deal with the Necron threat. Roboute is trying to brush this under the rug, claiming that the Ultramarines are more than a match for the Necrons without Xeno interference.

At the same time, the Tau have began to emerge from their sector of space, and, whereas Curze and his Night Lords are calling for a crusade to eradicate these zealots before they can become a true threat (One of his predictions of the future, seeing millions of dead Space Marines, caused by a war with the Tau.) Sanguinius see's them as a means to get in touch with the Eldar, use the Tau as a third party that could act as mediators.

Meanwhile, on frontier space, contact with several of their hive-worlds has been lost... In the near-future, an alliance with the Eldar might be key in the survival of every living thing in this galaxy...

Essentially, this RP will all be about the political side of the endless wars. Actual fighting in this will be kept to a minimum. With any luck, words will be the weapons of choice for most of the battles. The Players will play the different Primarchs, each one out for their own particular agenda. Sanguinius and Horus are out to bring the Galaxy together to repel the biggest threats, arranging secret meetings with these Xeno's and Roboute is out to prove himself, undeniably, the greatest strategic figure in the Galaxy and he sees defeating the Necrons as the perfect way to do this. Curze just out to fuck shit up as he always has.

I had other idea's for the other legions, such as Lion El'Jonson and Leman Russ are talking of perhaps merging their two legions into one great legion that will be the most powerful of all of the legions, one that can knock Roboute off his high-horse. Ferrus Manus is secretly involved with the Machine Cult, trying to find a way for them to become legally recognized. (The Emperor despised organized religion, as such, worshipping any Deity is forbidden.) And one of the Primarchs are out to perhaps place themselves at the head of the Imperium, usurping the Emperor in a perfectly legal way... Probably Fulgrim or Magnus...

We could throw in a few fun references... Maybe have a throw away line about Captain Thule of the Thousand Sons success in his latest campaign on Kronus, alongside Captain Eliphas of the Word Barers.

I would really love to hear your thoughts on this.

Damn, all the space marines are going to be alteast 10 times the age of my character.

So? Your gal can kick some major ass. the Sisters are women in power armour who, i am pretty sure, have had their ovaries replaced with Chainswords... Seriously, they carry fucking Multi-melta's... Most Astartes have trouble doing that. Age is just a number, and when you are a warrior of the Imperium, the only number that counts is the number of dead heretics at your feet.

Hahaha. don't fall for the pedophillic Marines then! :D

Well, the Sisters aren't normally deployed alongside the Space Marines... But who cares, go for it.

1 note? You mean the thoroughly responsible one? The man that has lead the team through Apocalypse, Vulcan, and Dark Pheonix Saga, the same saga where he was the key factor to it ending. The man that was actually RIGHT about the things going on during and after AvX. To the point that 50% of the X-men are behind him. Since his return from being apocalypse possessed, he's been far less brooding about Jean and Maddie and more of a hard-ass. When your argument is all he does is whine, I know you don't know nothing on the character. It may be a running joke but its the same as Aquaman jokes about him being useless when in reality he can punch Supes clear across the world. Disrespecting Cyclops around me. watch yo back, Spider-Woman. Got my whole hood with me. All my mutants tote gats and aks, son.

There is a difference between Aquaman and Cyclops... Aquaman has been shown to be able to kill the ENTIRE justice league if necessary. Cyclops and his entire team of X-Men couldn't even take out The Punisher. Cyclops IS the Super-Friends Aquaman of Marvel. I mean... Look at X-Men vs Avengers. They gave him Mjolnir, Caps shield, and the Phoenix Force. and all i am hearing is.

NOW DO YOU LOVE ME, FANS!!! NOW DO YOU LOVE ME!!!

Gowi said Doesn't mean he can't be made to be a good character through RP.

Totally agree.

You accidentally left the "Grey Knights" part in at the bottom... There are a few canon issues... But fuck it, let's ignore those, congratulations, you're in. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a Dreadnought, and a Techpriest.

Cyclops is one of the best. I dare Nightwing to try and take back his costume from Pheonix Cyclops. I'll be the only X-men. That saddens me. I'll have no friends but then no one can stop me from sleeping with Storm.

Cyclops is a thoroughly boring, 1 note character, that Marvel won't accept that nobody likes... They keep giving him buffs in power, mistaking power for likability... All he does is sit around, mope and whinge about how Jean keeps dying...

Need more X-Men. </3

agreed... But not Scott... "Cyclops, we don't care if you have stolen Stolen Nightwings costume, we still don't like you."

Also, Allen, your bio says that your guy was a Grey Knight... That's a no-no on several levels.

1) the Grey Knights weren't formed until AFTER the Horus Heresy.
2) the Grey Knights are all Psykers, and Psykers can't be interned in Dreadnoughts (Except if you are a Blood Angel... But everyone calls Horse-Shit on that...)
3) Historically. The Chaplains main purpose was to put down Psykers in case they went nuts... As such, the Grey Knights don't use them... Chaplains have very little trust of Psykers.
4) Saying they all went nuts when they went into the Warp makes no sense as the Grey Knights are only taken in for training if they have proven their ability to resist the corrupting energies of the Warp 100%.

Essentially, just choose one of the Space Marine Legions

Just wanted to check as I'm interested, with your leader/character. you are only allowed to have a honour guard or two that remain with the leader or can command a full squad only? that maximum? and what about any dedicated transport vehicles?

The Honour Guard are your right-hand men, they are about as good as a squad of troops.

The Squad is standard size, depending on what squad of soldiers you want. E.G. If you want a Pathfinder squad, you have 9 extra guys in your squad.

Did you want Honour Guard?
