Like, logistics or medical regiment?

[Aseaheru]

Rear echelon troops sitting at HQ? Half the players would go mad/orks would land a rok on the HQ.

I really wish there was a thing in the squad custom loadout thing that added things for the squad... I want this squad to go n with a few missile launchers per squad and not per pc, but that dosent seem to be a thing...

[Remuthra]

You could do that, but I was more thinking a squad that tries to escape the fighting (and commissars), horror game style.

[Powder Miner]

This is what I got for the CONQUISTADOR mechanical stuff: http://pastebin.com/BubvNCe6

Spoiler: History of Minar (click to show/hide)

 Minar was colonized rather recently in the history of the Imperium, a world of mountains and forests, and forested mountains. When the call came for troops from every world under the control of the God-King, the young populace of Minar what they could: a fighting force well able to survive by their own wits, no matter where placed, and there to fulfill any role.

Spoiler: History of the 2ed SFO Regiment (click to show/hide)

The forces sent by Minar to serve the God-Emperor where varied in purpose, and the second SFO Regiment, the second of the two of that type sent to fight, was no different. Envisioned originally as a force that could slip past, or be placed behind, the enemy, wait for months giving intelligence and then guide the fall of fire and troops from above that came to take back what the foes of the imperium took, the Second has already proven its worth in the }(Insert relevant campaign name here){ campaign, where troops embedded behind the enemy lines a month before the final assault allowed the Imperial Navy to destroy or damage the hostile defenses, thus allowing airborne units and drop pods to overwhelm the enemy. Squads belonging to the Second SFO are equipped with special equipment in order to allow them to better act as forward observers, and are often equipped with equipment from drop-trooper units due to the need to lighten the load.

Spoiler: Barrablanca (click to show/hide)

Barrablanca is a somewhat large world out in the middle of the galaxy, with geography very disjointed: multiple settlements were spread across small continents, and once they regressed to a feral state after settlement abruptly stopped, they didn't typically interact with more than one or two other settlements. ...but, when they did, it was usually war. So it went for two millennia, the planet largely ignored as useless. In this time, the planet changed from a Feral planet to what could vaguely be classified as a Feudal planet, though its stalemating and pointless struggles continued.

Then one of the most powerful little nations hit a golden age, and discovered naval craft capable of truly crossing the oceans. This was an amazing boon for said nation, which over the next century traveled around with rapier and musket, conquering small nation after small nation with a rush of conquistadors, until it basically spanned the whole planet. Now very powerful, the nation which now comprised Barrablanca began an upward rise in prosperity and in technology. The Imperium took notice. No longer simply dismissing the planet, the Imperium called upon ancient contracts and bloodlines and found themselves back in control of the planet, even if the local government was basically the same. Leaving the developing planet to its own devices, they merely demanded one thing: tithes.

And with the conquistadors no longer out on the conquista, what was there more perfect to pay the tithes with? Barrablanca provided its seasoned explorers (the conquistadors) to the Imperial Guard, where they were introduced to and wowed by the advanced technology. In very recent years, Barrablanca has been steadily providing these conquistador regiments to the Imperium, specializing typically in reconnaissance and scouting.

Spoiler: Sixteenth Barrablancan Conquistador Recon Regiment (Fluff) (click to show/hide)

The Sixteenth Barrablancan Conquistador Recon Regiment is one of a new wave of Barrablancan regiments being put into the Imperium. Made up of people who were actual conquistadors up until the point they were tithed away to the Imperial Guard, the Sixteenth Conquistador Regiment has combat experience, if perhaps not against xenos and lasweapons. They tended to be excellent shots with their muskets; now they're excellent shots with their lasweapons. They tended to learn and excel at swordsmanship, and so they do now.

Their high level of ostentatiousness and flair has remained completely unchanged. In red and gold colors, the Conquistadors wear carapace armor shaped like a cuirass (and light plate), along with lots of trim and decorations. The conquistadors as a whole are simply too proud for it to be anything else. ...in fact, their pride can lead to sometimes be their downfall, given that any sort of insult has driven many a Barrablancan to die in a duel over an insult.

The regiment itself is relatively new, sent to the Spinward front as a somewhat random gesture from some Munitorum scribe; now they find themselves, with no previous Imperial Guard experience, in the midst of a bloody war. Time will tell how well they do... how long they survive.

The commander, Maximino Macias, is a fearless and proud man, an experienced duelist who has sent many an opponent to the grave. He has all pride in his station (and his former status of conquistador) and his glowing pride and confidence provide a huge morale boost for his troops, even if he is sometimes to proud to recognize a flaw in a plan.

[Aseaheru]

You dident replace the laspistol with a projectile one? Shame.

[Powder Miner]

snub revolver is actually worse, that's why it costs less points :p

on the other hand, we have AWESOME SPANISH RAPIERS so there's that

[Aseaheru]

You can change it to a snubautomatic or a autopistol too... Those both cost 8 points.

[Caellath]

I like the regiment. Excellent swords with Balanced means +20 to Parry and +10 to any other WS test, and the M36 lasguns plus good armor strike a good balance of ranged/melee/survivability without losing out on flair. Mustache-curling is nearly ensured.

[Powder Miner]

You can change it to a snubautomatic or a autopistol too... Those both cost 8 points.

that would mean loss of POCKET WATCHES
Flashlight pistols should suffice :p

[Aseaheru]

You know, we could always try mixed units... Although the gear for the one wouldent be that good for the other... Still, its something to think about.

[Gamerlord]

So we good to start making characters?

EDIT: Screw it, I'll just start and add the regiment bits later. Since Fellowship is my highest stat at 36 I'll go with a Ministorum Priest.

[Caellath]

Well, we could start voting at the available options if we want to get this done quicker. Anyone else who wants to present their regiment idea should also do it soon so we can choose. I think the GM still hasn't posted his idea, so we can wait for that and then vote.

[Dorsidwarf]

As far as I'm aware OW only includes stats for Chaos and Orks. But you will never make melee combat viable for IG. The only factions that are as bad at it as IG are the Eldar or Tau and even then you don't wanna pit IG against Banshees or kroot.

A little off-topic, but there's nothing as satisfying as charging 60 conscripts with a powersword/fist commissar and warpriest into the MCs and special characters of people who say the guard are useless in close combat.
