Hello guys. 

 

I am posting up a basic question that will hopefully bring bigger discussion. Who is interested in creating a Regiment together with other players to be pitted in a Campaign? I will create the worlds and Scenarios your regiment will get dropped in and you guys decide how it will flow. For this to work though I will need consensus on Who will be either your sergeant or commander depending on how many we get. 

My current thoughts of the initial mission will be capturing and securing a forward post in the middle of a war zone. So far we have steel willing to play and another who wants a Skitarii/Enginseer attaché. I am going to keep it here until we have a few more people and I have a good idea of what kind of mix we are working with. Then we will as a group build the regiment identity that you all serve.
I'd love to give Scarlett another go from the OW game that used to run on these boards. She was a Strom Trooper with a love for good food, but down right professional at all times... unless she'd been forced to eat corps starch for two month solid...
Hmm what kind of Regiment would have a Skitarii and a Storm Trooper lol. Well if you guys would like, I have an idea. My Lunar Venatorii Cavalry. If my Skitarii wanted guy agrees a Vox Warfare Specialist, is Skitarii lite and they are the elite unit of my homebrew subsector. I would be happy to dive into it if both of ya agree and we can get more people in. There will be some mechanics we will need to work out probably.
The nice part about Strom Troopers is that they get attached on an as needed basis, so the operation could call for a drop specialist, something that Scarlett is. Edited by Steel Company

Maybe something like

 

Homeworld - Forgeworld (cost 4)

 

CO - either fixed or Phlegmatic (cost 1)

 

Regiment type - line infantry (cost 2)

 

Training Doctrine - Defenders of the Omnissiah (cost 3)

 

Training Doctrine - Close Order Drill (cost 2)

I wonder if the only war regiment builder could be twisted to create some kind of admech auxiliary unit?

Sorry to butt in, I just had a quick mosey down the thread, and I know there is an admech unit/regiment in one of the books for only war. 

Techpriest Enginseer Nor Erlok reporting for duty.

 

I only previous role playing experience was over on 40k online, in a Imperial guard game (using normal 40k table top rules) and Nor Erlok was my character then. That particular game only last a few months, so I would like to give the character another go, possibly with some character fluff adjustment as this was back in 2013/14 (so before the current AdMech and Skitarii and related fluff was around) and some of the details will be out of date/nonsensical but here is Nor Erlok character details (copy pasted) from back then, I have to cringe a bit reading over it again, what was I thinking back then?
 

Techpriest Nor Erlok, Enginseer

Nor Erlok was a promising Artisan of the Mechanicus, but was second to the Departmento Munitorum after his Mentor was on the losing side of a Political coupe over control of the Forgeworld. Nor Erlok was too well placed to be disappeared, so instead he was attached to the Munitorum to serve as an Enginseer for 1000 years. The one saving grace is that it a thousand years by date and not age, and as such Nor Erlok spends his energies in charming, bribing or otherwise influencing those in a position to reassign him to different Imperial forces or even regain his position. By being assigned to many different forces across the Imperium Nor Erlok hopes to cheat the years with extensive wrap travel. The transit time between deployments also allows Nor Erlok to build his own powerbase across the Imperium and further his studies and knowledge.

Age: 237 (years since birth, actual physical age is approaching the mid eighties, though appears younger due to rejuvenation treatment and progressively more extensive cybernetic augmentation).

Appearance: Nor Erlok features are hidden behind the helmet of his dull black power armour, which in turn is mostly hidden by the dark wine red rob of the Mechanicum. Nor Erlok has several Mechadendrites, two of which when not in use wrap around his torso, appearing to be a belt for his robe. 

Wargear: Power Armour, Several Mechadendrites (count as a Servo-Arm), Power Axe, Inferno Pistol
Refractor Field, Grenades (Frag and Krak), Meltabomb

 

Steel your first choice still fits. Scarlett the Storm Trooper kind of fits most scenarios I have.

 

Trokair wants to be specifically a Enginseer but I will be doing the warhead for the group as to balance the party.

 

Black Cohort wants a Mechanicus tied unit which is easily done though question is what do you want to be in said unit?

I was thinking a weapon specialist.  Ad Mech are going to have a lot of weapons more complex than a Las gun.  Probably has a designation rather than a name as Ad Mech doesn't seem to care about personal details of the majority of their staff.

I would love to submit an idea for this game. I don't have an idea yet of what kind of character I'd like to play, though. Give me a day or so and I'll get something drawn up.

 

And as Komrade_Atomic mentioned, there is a book for Only War that contains AdMech/Skitarii content. I don't remember the name, but when I find my hard drive tomorrow I can get you the name of it.
