Hell, my priest is going with a chainsword (Eviserator if I can get it!) just because that's awesome. There's no need to be a spoilsport Patrick.

[Digital Hellhound]

I really like the CONQUISTADOREs. Different from most feudal regiment ideas. Let slaughter of natives and honor-obsessed macho-ing commence - I only hope they'll end up fighting alongside a 'savage' regiment like the Cuatlan Jaguars.

EDIT: I'm not sure why you're assuming we'll face Orks necessarily. There are stats for Severan Dominate troops and, I think, a few Chaos fellows in the books (or was it Dark Eldar?). The GM could also use DH, RT or the others to find stats for different factions, if they have them.

[Powder Miner]

By the way, this sheet goes off of the assumption that we're going CONQUISTADOR. I can mess around with things should this turn out not to be the case.

Sources of the various things are added in parentheses afterwards and underlined, so everything checks out easily.. If more than one, say, skill comes from a single source, the parentheses note comes after the group of skills, rather than after each skill.

Spoiler: Amalia's Fluff (click to show/hide)

Description: Amalia Gutierrez stands at 5'4'' and has a rather lithe build; she's agile, but has very little muscle.  Her skin is white, and in fact is a rather pale shade of white, albeit well within normal human limits. Her hair is black, straight, goes down just to her shoulders, and her eyes are a moderately light brown color. She has the mark of the Schola Psykana prominently branded (literally branded) just to the right of her eye, an easy identifier of her being a sanctioned psyker. Amalia is very visibly young, a teenager... 16 in fact, a questionable age for combat even considering the short lifespan of the average Feudal Worlder. Perhaps because of this, the young conquistador is quite energetic in her movements. Her rapier and sheath are attached to her hip in a rather theatrical fashion, whereas her lasguns are under it and her psy focus, making them somewhat harder to reach.

Personality: (Demeanor: Boisterous) Amalia is not a silent, husk of a person like many a psyker, nor is she violently insane or babbling like many more psykers. Instead, Amalia actually seems to be pretty normal, and quite excitable. Amalia has somewhat of an obsession with storybook heroics and the conquistadors; becoming part of the Conquistadors regiment was pretty much a dream come true. Despite this, she never was a conquistador, and her inexperience with actually being a conquistador and her desire to be one have combined to make her be somewhat... overeager when it comes to conquistador-ness, and she can be quite dramatic because of it. Nonetheless, she does her best to be a useful part of the team, firmly wanting to pull her own weight and maybe, to excel.

Backstory: Amalia Gutierrez was born to a pair of merchants in Barrablanca, and some of her earliest memories were of conquistadors being paraded through her town. It was only natural that a fascination with them would begin to develop. Begin to develop: though a strong fascination, it didn't ever really have time to get pursued before certain events forever changed Amalia's life. Amalia (still quite young) manifested psychic powers. The Black Ships made a sweep. Amalia was taken, naturally, as one of the psyker recruits. Not that terribly high in power, it was probably luck that kept her from simply becoming a sacrifice. Perhaps it was luck that took her through her training, successfully braving the Warp and becoming a full Sanctioned Psyker, albeit one they only deemed strong enough to send into the Imperial Guard. And through further great luck or perhaps a bit of compassion from a Munitorum executive, Amalia ended up in the regiment of the people she admired most... she ended up serving in a Barrablancan Conquistador Regiment.

Spoiler: Amalia's Comrade (click to show/hide)

Name: Artho Pak
Demeanour: Sarcastic
Description: A man in his mid-twenties with black hair and moderately muscular build, Artho was tasked by regimental command to keep an eye on Amalia, her being a psyker and all. ...he's not a very happy man, and almost always has some burning remark stored-- especially about Amalia's young age.

[Patrick Hunt]

Ouch I think all of us are going to have weight carry issues.

1st Otechian Partisans

Spoiler: Crunch (click to show/hide)

1st Otechian Partisans

Characteristic modifiers: +6 Perception, +3 Toughness, -3 Fellowship

Starting aptitudes: none

Starting skills: Survival, Stealth, Forbidden Lore (Chaos)

Starting talents: Ambush, Light Sleeper, Foresight, Hatred (Chaos), Enemy (Ordo Malleus), Paranoia, Lightning Reflexes or Resistance (Poisons)

Fluency: While death worlders have learned to speak Low Gothic, they do not have time in their
violent lives to learn how to read or write the universal language of the Imperium. Because of
this, death worlders do not start with the Linguistics (Low Gothic) Skill at creation, however
they are still capable of engaging in any verbal communication in Low Gothic that does not
require a Skill Test.

Hardened: Death worlders are accustomed to violence, and many death worlds contain a
variety of deadly, venomous creatures. They must be continually prepared and wary of danger
from a young age if they are to survive, and those instincts do not easily fade. Death worlders
start with one of the following Talents: Light Sleeper, Lightning Reflexes, or Resistance (Poisons).
Wary of Outsiders: Death worlders tend to be slow to put their faith in anyone other than
themselves and their comrades, and they chafe at the expectations and strictures of more
civilised society. They suffer a –10 penalty on all Interaction Skill Tests made in formal
surroundings, and similarly impose a –10 penalty on any Interaction Skill Tests made on them
by any non-death worlders. These penalties can be waived at the GM’s discretion if the death
worlders are dealing with those who have earned their trust.

Untimely Inquiries: Whenever this regiment fails in
an operation or the Squad fails to complete a mission or
achieve a critical objective, the power with a worrisome
interest in the regiment rears its ugly head, at the Game
Master’s discretion. When such an investigation takes place,
even on a regimental level, every member of the regiment
suffers a –5 penalty to Willpower Tests until the interference
concludes due to the stress that it causes.

Starting Wounds: Characters from the 1st Otechian Partisans begin play with +2 starting
Wounds.

Standard kit: 1 Lascarbine with 4 Charge Packs, 1 Chameleoline Cloak, 1 Uniform, 1 Best
Craftsmanship Flak Vest, 1 Microbead, 2 Blind Grenades, 2 Frag Grenades, 2 Stun
Grenades, 1 set of poor weather gear, 1 Good craftsmanship knife, 1 backpack, 1 set of tools, 1
lamp pack, 1 grooming kit, 1 brass Dead Man's Medallion (cognomen) , 1 Imperial Infantryman's
Uplifting Primer, 4 weeks' combat sustenance rations.

Basic choices: Death world, Guerilla regiment, Circumspect commander, Doctrines: Chameleoline, Favoured Foe, Drawback: Cloud of Suspicion.

Otech

Otech was an Imperial world on the fringe of the Agripinaa Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus, producing nothing very important and not being much trouble to anybody in particular. In 941.M41 it was occupied by the forces of Anarcha Vaire, a moderately prominent Chaos warlord of that region, after a half-assed attempt at virus bombing (ordered by Vaire because the stalwart resistance of the local Space Defence Forces and the losses they dealt her before being annihilated made the woman froth at the mouth), which killed half the populace and turned Otech, which wasn't exactly verdant before, into a world of toxic deserts, deadly jungles of unnatural plants, urban wastelands and blighted badlands - all populated by the mutated remnants of the original fauna.

After that, the occupation forces descended onto the surface to reign over the remaining people, quite certain that nobody could resist them now. In the years that came after, they found out how wrong they were. In the first decade of the occupation, the number of Chaos worshippers killed by the various resistance movements exceeded the numbers of the whole original occupation force - only the massive amount of reinforcements they received allowed them to keep it up. Tens of thousands of them died every year at the hands of the partisans - inhabitants of the wastelands formed by the virus bombings. Attempts at retaliation resulted in even more dead. In the last five years, the partisan population actually exceeded the population of the habitable lands, and even in those, resistance cells operated with brutality that exceeded even that of the occupants themselves. Imagine wandering out of your base in the morning and finding the eyeless, disembowelled corpses of your sentries hanging from the fence, Imperial aquilas cut into the flesh of their foreheads. Gives you pause, doesn't it?

After five decades, the Administratum caught up with the fact that some Chaos warlord had occupied a handful of relatively unimportant worlds in the Agripinaa Sector, and sent a fleet taskforce to do something about it. In a series of engagements, Anarcha Vaire's fleet was eliminated and the Anarcha herself killed. A massive drop in morale among the occupants of those worlds not yet liberated at that point followed. The partisans chose this moment to mount an all-out assault. When the forces of liberation arrived on Otech, there was no living Chaos worshipper left on the planet. The partisans presented the commander of the fleet with 5 456 781 severed heretic heads of various degrees of freshness, stuffed in the holds of several dropships, along with a politely-worded note containing their most sincere apologies and the claim that they couldn't harvest more in such a short time. The commander accepted the heads and the apologies, but still didn't refrain from contacting the Ordo Malleus about the occurence.

Even though Otech now had almost no industry to speak of, its tithe grade remained the same as it was before. Therefore it was paid in soldiers - of those Otech was in no short supply, soldiers of one variety or another comprising over 80% of its population. The numerous new Otechian regiments had come under scrutiny from the Ordo Malleus - because spending such a long time on a Chaos-tainted world is believed to leave an unwholesome mark on anybody - and one Interrogator even accused Colonel Katoi, commanding the 1st Otechian, of corruption. She died in her sleep the next night, seemingly of natural causes related to a failure in one of her augmetics.

1st Otechian Partisans

The First Founding on Otech saw the birth of 15 regiments, so "the First" is a mark of honor more than a chronological reference. The 1st Otechian was formerly known as the Scalpel, and before that as the 46th Recon, Otechian PDF. Under the command of Colonel Katoi, this illustrous partisan warband accomplished many surgical strikes (hence their name) at objects vital to the occupation effort, and took a great many heads. Unlike most of the other partisans, they had formal military training in stealth operations, which made them especially effective in their operations, and their exploits became the stuff of legend. Of course, many years have passed, and most of the founding members are now dead, but Colonel Katoi endures to lead his men against the Emperor's foes.

Regimental traditions

Those include head-taking - that is, cutting off the heads of defeated enemies. Contrary to a popular misconception, those are not preserved, merely ceremonially presented to the regiment's commander, and thrown away after that. Another tradition is the Dead Man's Medallion, which is a little brass capsule containing a rolled-up form with its owner's name. Those are almost never filled out - it's thought that if a soldier fills out the form, he will die in the next battle. The capsule itself has a rather dark origin back during the occupation of Otech. When the partisans were forced to leave a comrade's body behind, they used to cut off his or her little finger and take it back with them to bury. The brass containers they wore acted as temporary receptacles for those fingers. According to a common superstition, if at least some part of a body is buried, and all the appropriate rites conducted by an Imperial priest, then various vile Chaos sorceries will have no effect on the rest of the body. It is unknown if there's any truth to this belief.

Sorry for making you guys wait. Okay, let the voting commence! Obviously, you can't vote for a regiment of your own creation. Please, bold your votes.

I vote for the 16th Barrablancan Conquistador Recon Regiment. I feel that I am creating problems for myself with this, but the idea is too hilarious not to support.

[Powder Miner]

Abstain because I'm a selfish bastard who likes his character concept with the Conquistadors quite a bit :p
Cuatl Line Infantry: It was a real cool regiment, and it's a shame it never got to see the light of day.

[Caellath]

I also vote for the 16th Barrablancan Conquistador Recon Regiment because of that flair-filled anachronism.

[Aseaheru]

Voting for 1st Otechian Partisans because it looks like my suggestion would fail and my char would be out of place (to say the least) in the conquistadors.

[Patrick Hunt]

Is abstaining allowed? It unbalanced things for everyone else who posted a regiment.

[Powder Miner]

Eh, maybe not that fair. Changed.

[Patrick Hunt]

Conquistadors.

What do you do if a regiment gives you a trait or skill or aptitude you already have? In a couple of games of this I played you gained extra EXP in it's place but I don't think that's actually a rule.

[Avis-Mergulus]

What do you do if a regiment gives you a trait or skill or aptitude you already have? In a couple of games of this I played you gained extra EXP in it's place but I don't think that's actually a rule.

For aptitudes, it is stated in the rulebook that if something gives you an aptitude you already have, you can take an aptitude that shares its name with a characteristic in its place.

For skills and talents... Well, you get half the XP value of the talent or skill in in question. So say I, because feth it.

[Patrick Hunt]

Cool have to look up a couple then. I'm drafting my sheet for conquistadors to see how it ends up. I'm assuming it's half xp based on your chars aptitudes since the xp will vary character to character?

Uhm, what do you do for aptitudes? That's gone completely over my head.

[Caellath]

The rulebook says doubling on a skill gives you a new level of the skill (Dodge + Dodge = Dodge +10) and doubling talents gives you 100xp.
