RULES
Each combat turn is about 1 second
Attacker rolls versus skill to hit, victim rolls versus a defence to defend. people hit take damage. if you are at negative hp you roll versus health or else faint. if you take 1/2 of your hp in one blow then you roll versus health or else falldown stunned. if you are stunned you do nothing then roll versus health to recover. if your extremeties takes 1/2 of your HP in damage then they are crippled. Armor reduces incoming damage.

Maneuvres: these are your combat options
Step and attack- move 1 square and attack
Aim- Add the aimbonus of your weapon to your next shot
Reckless Attack- Attack at +4skill in melee or +1skill at range, no defence roll allowed, you may charge forward only
Full Defence- Defend at +2 until the begining of your next turn
Ready- draw a weapon or insert a new clip or draw a grenede or change grips or something
Move- use up your movepoints
Change position- you may drop prone from standing, or crouch from prone, or stand from a crouch.

Defences
you may block with a shield if you have one, but it is pretty difficult and nobody is trained in it
you may dodge you may dodge bullets only if you have cover, a shield counts as cover. Protip stick to cover
you may parry with a melee weapon. you may grip a rifle as a melee weapon if you ready it as such

Ranged combat
ranged attacks suffer range penalties
people with cover are shot at -2skill or else shoot at a hit location without cover

Called Shots
head is targeted at -5
arms and legs at -2

Encumbrance
You may carry a small thing on each hip and one on the chest, you may carry a big thing across the back. You may carry things in each hand also. Penalties for carrying more than this are severe.

I believe he is.
He also made a joke/summoning ritual there.

[mastahcheese]

So will this game have multiple people playing, or a single character?

[Cheesecake]

Damn it! I was going to make a Warhammer 40,000 RtD right after exams! 

Oh well. Do we make individual characters or is this a Suggestion Game?

[mastahcheese]

It says 8 players, so I guess individuals.

[Cheesecake]

So we make any character from any WH4K race?

[mastahcheese]

I fail to see any Psyker powers.
EDIT: Or techpriest powers.
EDIT: Oh, he's still adding them. Nevermind

[Xantalos]

Damn it! I was going to make a Warhammer 40,000 RtD right after exams!

That was a test for classes and seeing if the combat system I had in mind would work.
