Lysimachus Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 You're fairly free on names, the new recruits come from dozens of worlds and other places around the Solios Nebula, so you're free to make up whatever you like!

Necronaut Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 @Lord_Ikka in the previous IG game, I believe most or all of our characters were operating under some sort of pseudonym since nearly all of them were renegades or exiles from their parents chapters, perhaps barring Orpheus (though the events at the end of that first adventure would have put the kibosh on him ever going home). As such, in my head-canon, our new techmarine, Ormenos, would have had some name as a guttersnipe from the under-hive which he would have readily discarded after being selected by Talek Varn's agents for implantation and ascension. Being a bookworm, he no doubt would have chosen the name after discovering it in some musty old tome of ancient Ygrekian myths or some such (hat-tip to @Mazer Rackham).

Mazer Rackham Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Should it please the GM, I have discarded my previous Allocated Points sheet and rolled instead, with rather pleasing results. However, this has produced quite the aberration. My Fel is ridiculous for a Librarian, and since my literate lad is quite the buffboi, I now have this vision of a disarmingly jolly chap going about smacking people over the head with an exceptionally large book (to beat sense into them).

To be honest, June is definitely out, and probably the first half of July as well. I'd like to (at latest) get started by the beginning of August, though? Re recruiting, there are still open spots so if anyone wants to fill them, they are very welcome!

Lysimachus Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 (edited) Hi all, Apologies for the radio silence, everything got a bit busy! I'm kinda back on track (ish), so I thought I'd get an IC opened up. I can't quite remember where everyone was in terms of being ready to play, but there's no great rush. If anyone still has questions, feel free to ask?

Lysimachus Posted Thursday at 11:01 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:01 AM (edited) 2 hours ago, Xin Ceithan said: I really appreciate that but I am sadly still boggged down by RL issues - so don’t wait on me. Go ahead and get yourself knocked out! No worries, mate. If things change and you want to join later, that might well be doable? But in the meantime, @Machine God it looks like you get that 2nd Librarian slot if you want it! So, looking at people's sheets, have I got the following all correct? 1. Mazer - Daceon - Librarian, Feudal, Plotter, GS:7 2. Necro - Ormenos - Techmarine, Hive, Plotter, GS:8 3. Tro - Gerbrand - Tactical, Agri, Hunter, GS:1 4. MG - Torrek - Librarian, Feral, Brawler, GS:8 5. AT - Cadfael - Apothecary, Feudal, Firebrand, GS:1 6. Ikka - Drekar - Assault, Hive, Savage, GS:5 6 is a nice solid squad, and we've got a good mix of Archetypes and backgrounds, but if anyone else still wants to join in, please do post and let us know! Edit: As previously mentioned re the Geneseed rolls, I'm going to randomly assign the 9 Loyalist gene-lines a number between 1-10. The last number will represent something more... chimeric... or even traitorous. But you won't know which you've got unless/until it comes up in the course of the game! Interesting that a few of you have some of the same choices and roll results... these should create some good potential for interaction?

Machine God Posted Thursday at 07:55 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:55 PM Torrek's Character Sheet is complete. I couldn't work out Lifting as the Table only goes to 20 and Torrek's total SB & TB is 22. P150 - Mk VI armour gives a +10 increase to Agility. So I just added +1 to Agility Bonus. I couldn't decide on a Personal Trapping.
