Good luck with combat Hans. It's a pain in the ass to run if you're trying to adhere to all the rules. Doesn't seem so at first blush, but becomes very apparent as combat gets under way. I'd decide early on how granular you want to make combat; Dark Heresy is set up for very, very granular combat. Going less granular can speed up combat, allowing for larger fights. For example, range is really important to DH combat rules....but it's the first thing I consider expendable because it's what ends you up with 400m engagements where players move 12m a turn.
I think it's going to be a bit more fast and loose. I planned on doing a 'test combat' in the first session, under some plot-guided guise, that will help everyone get a good idea for how it works, and to give me an idea of how much of what to throw at you all, and how to deal with group combat stuff. Range will only become a real issue if it's an extreme shot of some sort. I also plan on having a good mix of investigation and combat. This is not going to be murder mystery 40,000, nor is it going to be "Violence is the first, last, and only resort".
So far, the only good sources I've found for a character sheet is the TG version, which seems a little... Off. But it's the most convienent, so it's what we'll use, I suppose. You lot can make your characters at any time. If there's any questions about character creation, just ask. We'll start at Rank One, and I'll probably give you lot a bit of free armor at the start. I'd recommend taking Lasguns or other las weaponry if possible, simply for the ease with which they can be recharged (sunlight or fire both recharge the ammo packs). When you finish your character, post the link to it here or PM it to me.
We do have to decide a good time to play, and I don't really know what time-zones people are in. I'm in GMT-6, so at the time I posted this, it was 3:00 PM exactly. It would probably be easiest for me to run it on the weekend at night, perhaps Sunday around 8 or 9 PM.
Edit: Use this to start your character off. As it says, this is just a base for your character. I'm still looking for a good editable Character Sheet.
