Done.

 

 

Truly these are benighted times: the quality of pict-capture technology in this Dark Millennium has finally degraded to a level which the ancients would have called, according to our research, "Potato-Vision."

The Alpha Legion have some remarkable anti-observation tech, blurs any picture taken of them...

 

Edit: seriously, I don't quite know how I did that... the pic looks fine in my gallery?

Hmmm, @Lysimachus is well informed....

 

We've found Alpharius, guys!

 

Get 'im!

Authentic potato vision too - same width as the minimum resolution of the original doom game.

Small update, managed to trim the arms so as to fit a Sola Aux lasrifle. Wasn’t happy with any of the potential gubbins placements, so left them off, even the nice axe with blade cover and straps, as I just could find a position where it felt it was sitting naturally.

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Nice, very nice.

 

Ok, Mortals you have the following information to add to your characters:

 

@Trokair Your Prison ID Number is OED-808, you are located in the Delta, or D-Block, Primary Prison Complex.

 

@A.T. Your Prison ID is ALB-813, incarcerated in Supressed Zone 1 (there's a dampening field preventing full technologial functions) Beta, or B-Block, Secondary Prison Complex (3 Kilometres South of Tro)

 

@Lord_Ikka Prison ID COL-1016, resident of Communal General Block Alpha, or A-Block, Primary Prison Complex (1500m North of Tro, and through a Prisoner Exchange Interlock Gate known as the 'Portcullis')

 

@Machine God Prison ID IOW-065, stuck in Suppressed Zone 2 (Dampening field) Beta (B-Block), precisely 451 metres West of A.T, in a separated compound.

 

You will be free to describe these blocks when we go live, or add some flavour to your Bio in the Data thread, like Smiley.

Its the Bullet Farmer

Had a couple of queries, so I'll clarify publicly on recruitment - basically unless I get a plea from someone interested, with a character that adds to the team, I won't be accepting any more players than have already put their hand up.

 

We still have until 08/08/24 to flesh out characters and sort out chargen sheets. After that, then if you're not hot to trot, the Commissar will take a shot.

[Machine God]

My Character Sheet is done IIRC. 

 

I so that enough @Mazer Rackham?

Yeah, should be fine. I'll be going to go over them all again this weekend anyway. 

[Lord_Ikka]

Crux'as the Smiler WIP. Probably won't get him painted for awhile because I have Call to Arms stuff to do (including Kraith and Moridyn characters...), but he was an easy conversion to do and fits the character I think.

 

 

[Lysimachus]

WIP:

 

 

Decided to change the head for a different hairstyle to what is shown in his bio pic, and for simplicity I didn't add the backpack power line to the pistol. I'm fairly happy with the ragtag look of the Armour and the mkV left leg and mkvi right greave, though!

 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Said it before, say it again: I'm always impressed with the ability of the RPG Nookies to work up models.

 

My kitbashing consists of jamming crap into boxes into a pile that will fit.

[Machine God]

@Mazer Rackham - Cooee Mister GM Sir!

 

Caught a heretic typo for you:

 

++ PENITENTS IN BLOCKS A, B, C, D, SHALL RECIEVE THE EMPEROR’S WILL ++

Fixed, ta.

@Mazer Rackham Do you have room for one more? I miss playing a baddie.

Recruitment is closed - but I did make the proviso that I would take players if they had a good concept or plugged a gap in the team - drop me a PM and we can have a wrangle. 

 

[Xin Ceithan]

Did I  I miss it or is mentioned  somewhere how long this is roughly supposed to be after the Badab War ? I suppose it’s way before Magellan (if that’s still canon  ) or the 13th Crusade / Circatrix ? 

[Mazer Rackham]

I didn't really specify. I suppose it would have to be the bum end of M.41, sooo maybe anywhere between 75 - 80 yrs ABW?

 

Since the Magellan game didn't finish, and Blackest Heart virtually replaces it, you can assume the former is some hack fanfic that never really happened.

 Or some Tzeentchian alternet reality ploy.

Just As Planned.

Alright my Malicious Malcontents, Mortal Players Only may, if they feel so moved, post in the IC Thread with their characters' initial thoughts. I will drop a few threads here to guide on direction, but the rest is up to you.

 

A couple of our SM players are still building, so this will give us an opportunity and incentive...

 

Your Characters should detail the world (Block) in which they are incarcerated, bearing in mind the security rating you have. If you have tech implants etc, you will be in higher security, and will be subject to a Suppression Field, which interferes with your Tech. Depending on how integrated this tech is, perhaps this causes pain, which must be suffered and is an imposition upon you by the Corpse God for your failures to follow his fetishes of blinkered obedience etc.

 

Any attempts at Tech Use have a -20 Penalty, regardless of talents, gear, etc.

 

Set the scene for the 'normal' existence of your character - for example, if you are combat focused, the Imperials will tolerate a fighting pit, since killing each other is fine. They can't be everywhere at once, and everyone is a criminal.

 

You can then describe the alarm, and subsequent havoc this causes. Hold off on the Marines - they haven't landed yet, and as far as you are concerned, this is just an unprecedented riot...maybe you even plan escape...

[Trokair]

Well, one mortal done, hopefully to live longer than five minutes...

 

Some more angles, picure quality not so good, and the lighting isent great either. Sorry. 

[Mazer Rackham]

@Trokair lovely work.

 

I'm sure we can make it six minutes if you pretend to be dead?

 

What's the worst that can happen?*

 

 

 

 

*Disclaimer: The Worst that can happen is utterly possible, thoroughly likely, and may include, but is not limited to: dismemberment, disembowelment, food poisoning, explosive diarrhoea, lumbar puncture with shrapnel, knives or sharp sticks, complete immolation, gangrene, medical experimentation, complete absolution for your sins, marriage to a girl you met in Vegas (it stays in Vegas, baby), body double to an actor with a god complex, penal indenture, lollygagging, and bad breath.

[Necronaut]

@Trokair I look forward to your character's flashlight (torch for you Brits) gun being turned into a daemon weapon and being used to brutally and embarrassingly massacre the rest of us in a hilarious bit of irony amusing only to our GM.
