Warhammer 40,000 Only War: Things Can Always Get Worse

I'm working on it. I'll be good to start whenever you want to go. Just having some trouble with a half decent background. its not absolutely necessary to start the game is it?

If your questions are more in the Vien of 'how do do xp purchases work in the first place.' you can pm me or someone with your character sheet and we can walk you through it.

There are some recommendations made inntue rulebook for each class. They actually aren't bad.

Taking fellowship increases for example, always a good idea for the sergeant. It will help you buy other fellowship related abilities down the road.

And depending if you plan to play your guy as more shooty or stabby, take weapon or ballistic skill increases. These are good places to start.

Or buy a comrade advance. Sergeants have some good ones to pick from.

Do it up

Well it also serves the rp purpose of being the Sergeant.

@Skwint

That is a good question. I assumed the DM would probably play as the sergeant. That being said it is a playable class for a reason.

I should probably ask about our briefing actually. That might effect my choice between a heavy stunner or missile launcher depending on what it is we are expected to do after planet call.

Is anyone else joining this intrepid adventure or just the four?

I wish fantasy flight had the forsight to do something as in depth as this when they were designing their weapons

Hider

LMG/SAW: This weapon is what many people think of when they think of a "machine gun." In the Imperium it takes many forms, from a blocky short barreled weapon fed by belt and chambered in 5.56mm to long barreled drum fed devices in 7.62mm. All of these weapons are similar in a few key ways: they have large magazines, high rates of fire, and are used in a support capacity. -Statline: (Basic; 100m; -/-/8; 1d10+4 I; Pen 0; clip 50; rld 2 Full; Inaccurate; 8kg; Scarce)

MMG: Mid-sized weapons with longer barrels and larger magazines, these Medium Machine Guns are a mainstay in Imperial Service. They are often found mounted on top of Leman Russ Tanks or other combat vehicles. They are generally heavier weapons, incapable of being fired without being first braced in some way, but this is in exchange for generally greater effectiveness at range. Most of these weapons are chambered in 7.62mm or larger and are belt fed. -Statline (Heavy; 150m; -/-/6; 1d10+5 I; Pen 2; clip 100; rld 3 Full; 11kg; Rare)

HMG: These hard hitting battlefield beasts are the undisputed kings of fully automatic fire. Large, heavy belt-fed weapons always chambered in .50BMG or larger, these devices are fully capable of destroying light vehicles in an instant and pulping Traitor Marines in a single well aimed burst. This effectiveness comes at the price of extreme weight and a limited rate of fire compared to other weapons of its class. NOTE: The HMG can be broken into two seperate pieces for transit, with the gun itself weighing 25kg and the tripod weighing 13kg. The PC's companion can carry the tripod if this is an Only War game. It takes 1 turn to mate the weapon with its tripod. -Statline (Heavy; 200m; -/-/5; 1d10+6 I; Pen 4; Clip 75; Rld 3 Full; Ogryn-Proof; 38kg (with Tripod); Rare)
Any thoughts on these would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I forgot to add that the HMG has Proven(2) and Felling (4)

there are a bunch of cool homebrew rules for all kinds of things. Anyone know why they gave up on the licence?
