Okay, I think a Forge world drop regiment? THat would be interesting imo.

[Alexandria]

Fortress world is better though .

[Bdthemag]

Ahhh ok, I'm guessing starting skills come in at the first rank? I.E Known?

Yes, known. You still have a decent chance of fucking up a skill, so you really have to rely on situational modifiers to help you along. There will be a lot of bumbling around and failing things at first, but once you get some more experience things should feel a bit more balanced.

While I am all for Forge World (semi-Skitarii!), they don't really seem like the Drop-Troop type.

Also, if we went Forge World Rough Riders we could ride mechanical dinosaurs...

[Alexandria]

Pst.... fortress world.

My sheet is all completed I think, let me know if I'm missing anything.

[Bdthemag]

Looks good, just keep in mind that you don't need to pick a demeanor from the ones listed. A more simple "Personality" section will suffice, where you just describe how they act and their motivations. Also keep in mind Stormtroopers aren't exactly leaders, the Sergent/Commissar role better covers that kind of position in the group. It'd be great if once regiment creation is done, everyone made a decently sized backstory as well as your character's motivations, fears, dislikes, etc. So I can potentially factor them into the game.

[Alexandria]

(( I figured as much hence her Demeanor doesn't include leadership. Her goal is to lead but thats amongst other stormtroopers.
Demeanor wise I used dice rolls because it'd make it simpler to design, got lucky with those they were all fairly fitting. GWG is the lucky sod my characters taken a liking to, I guess because he's the one patching me up every time I get myself shot .

Once I know the world and regiment type I'll make up the back story and do the appearance.

I do need to go back and find the standard guardsmen kit so I can add it onto my sheet though so I have the full inventory in one place and I added an extra skill. Lightning Reflexes rank 1 since I had 100 spare and it makes sense for my character to be the first one to react when shit goes down.

While the others are still staring in shock I'll already be charging at the enemy to my heroic hopefully not death. ))

In short for the rest of the team, I'm heavily armed, heavily armored, Fast, Tough, A member of the IG's elite fighting force and I'm damned good at not being seen as well as having high weapon skills and average physical traits. My intelligence is low but hey, it's my job to shoot shit, stab shit and generally cause grievous bodily harm to anything in our way. I don't need to think.

Plus I'm brave, Loyal, I react quickly and impulsively ( so you may have to restrain me at times. ) I've adopted the medic as my minion of sorts ( Basically if it's a choice between protecting you or somebody else I always pick you. ) And I will never ever even admit we might fail. Like ever, throw 10,000 orks at our squad and I'll be the guy slapping a charge into his gun ready to kick 10,000 asses.

[Alexandria]

Double posting to make this clear.

Ok now onto regiment.

Drop troops is pretty much decided.
I'd prefer a fortress world or failing that, some world that enhances physical ability, we're gonna be in heavy fighting so we need it.
I'd prefer a leader who takes the offensive or is a rebel.
I'd prefer regiment skills that enhance fighting effectiveness.
As for the enhancements you can make with 30 points.
My only real desire is the enhanced equipment. It costs 10 to upgrade a piece of basic kit to best quality so I'd like it for weapons or armor.

Anyway thats what I'd like.


But this does remind me, I need to check what modifiers my armor gives.

[Harbingerjm]

My vote is for:
Home World: Forge World (4)
Commanding Officer Personality: Phlegmatic (1)
Doctrines:
Rough Rider Regiment (5)
Augmetics (2) or Hardened Fighters (2), preferably the former.

[Alexandria]

Phlegmatic I don't mind but it's going to cause serious problems for my character.
Forge world isn't even in the guide book I'm using so no idea what effects it has.
Neither is rough rider, but my character is useless for that regiment anyway so thats a no from me. I'm build purely as infantry, a mounted regiment completely rules out stormtroopers.
I'd prefer hardened fighter over anything else, better to avoid losing limbs entirely then be able to replace them easier.

[Harbingerjm]

Would Supine work better? Forge World and Rough Rider are in Hammer of the Emperor. The Augmetics is mostly to allow easier mechanicalising of our dino steeds, and Hardened Fighter is kind of lacking in comparison to more implants (which are useful for a hell of a lot more than just replacing limbs).

[Bdthemag]

The second PDF I sent you guys has all the additional regiment creation options and other specialist roles you can choose inside of it, check it out. Also, you CAN be a stormtrooper type character apart of a rough-rider regiment. Your regiment heavily factors into what extra skills you get, so everyone in the squad has the skills and abilities required to do whatever their regiment is intended to do.

Augmetics also doesn't affect your skill or ability to get augmetic items, or even whether or not you start out with them. It basically just makes it easier to obtain them via the logistics system.

[Harbingerjm]

That kind of does affect our ability to get augmetics, really. Which is very appropriate for Forge World troops. And helps us look more like Skitarii.

[Alexandria]

Yeah I guess, I could certainly use implants to enhance my combat ability.

Choleric or Rebel are the only real fits for my character, given she's a fight it out never back down kind of offensive person.

I'll check the forgeworld and rough rider thing now but I don't think a mounted regiment is ever going to fit for a purely infantry character though, even if she has the skills a storm trooper's entire purpose is to act as the heavy infantry that smashes everything in it's path. Not to sit on the back of a mount.

[Bdthemag]

When starting out you already have a small chance to gain items via logistics and augmetics usually have a rare availability (In turn making it harder to succeed with logistics rolls) unless they're shitty ones. It'd make it a bit easier, but not by a whole lot.
