Hmm, so a Warhammer 40k Imperial Guard forum game. I'm not sure how well this will be received, but I thought up a cool system earlier today, and I would like to try it out.

Seneca Hostilian

A new Guardsman, Seneca has not done anything noteworthy, however he is an unbelievably good shot and surprisingly strong for his tall, slim build. He also bears a strange dislike of Marines. He is very capable in melee combat.

Spoiler: Corporal Ulrik Hydar (click to show/hide)

UserName:
Ghazkull
Name:
Ulrik Hydar
Gender:
Male
Short Bio:
Ulrik is an old Veteran of the Damokles Crusade and one of the siege-engineers(pioneers?) of the regiment. He likes Close Quarters Combat and although he has a certain resentiment of the Imperium since the Crusade he almost never runs from a fight. Ulrik, to make the long story short, sucks at combat from afar and aims horribly. Fitting for his occupation as siege-engineer he prefers trench and urban warfare.

Accuracy: +5
Melee: +5
Siege Warfare: +10

Vross Pront

Short Bio:
Vross has been in the front lines for as long as he can remember patching up the wounded in trenches and snapping a few shots off at anything unfriendly that came to close while he worked. His combat skills aren't on par with most other soldiers but he's damn handy with a medi-kit and thats kept him around with others who'll watch his back in case they are in need of his help.
Skills and Other:
Accuracy: +5
Medic: +15

Short Bio:
Dariel always had a knack for explosives. He is a believer of theotto if its splattered it ain't coming up again. He had already proven himself once against the tyranids blowing up dozens and dozens of gaunts. But Once the Creatures get a bit closer to him he gets nervous. He would rather disengage and start firing from a distance again then starting close combat with anyone.

Accuracy: +10
Explosives: +10

If you want anything changed, just say so.

Cadian 23rd Shock Troops, and what exactly is this system?

[NewsMuffin]

It pretty much only uses d100's.
Each weapon has an accuracy rating, and a damage modifier. For example, a LasGun might have a accuracy of 57, and a damage modifier of +10. This means that I'd have to roll below a 57 (+the shooter's skill) to hit, then I'd roll again if it hit, and that becomes the victim's chance to die each turn. The damage modifier adds to the roll. Then I roll again for the chance of that person to die. If I roll above the chance, they live, if I roll below, they die. Each turn the chance of death gets 5 closer to 50. So if I rolled a 75, the next turn it would be 70, and if I rolled a 35, the next turn it would be 40.
Each person has an accuracy rating. For example, a guardsmen may have an accuracy rating of +10, so I would add that to his weapon's chance to hit his target.
I'm still screwing around with vehicles in my head, but I'm pretty sure I could port this system with some modifications to include weapon and track damage.

[Phantom]

I see, wait, if enough people join does one person get randomly chose to be a Commissar?

[NewsMuffin]

Well, I was planning on a single character, but multiple could work. So sure, someone could be a commissar.

[maxicaxi]

Interesting

[NewsMuffin]

Anyone else?

[lemon10]

Ill join, but know little about warhammer 40k.
So we each get a person in the Cadian 23rd Shock Troops?

[Phantom]

There's something you guys should know about the Cadian 23rd...
Nah. Nevermind.

[NewsMuffin]

Yeah, you do lemon. Don't worry, I'll try to fill you in as we go along.

Damn, I need the [REDACTED] codex...
Well, you don't have to be the 23rd, or Cadian for that matter. Just click here and choose a regiment that looks or sounds cool to you.

[Phantom]

Well let's get this started because I want to start shooting my flashlight lasgun at orks.

[NewsMuffin]

Well if everyone agrees, I'll start writing up turn one. I'm still accepting people, but I'll only take ten maximum.
Wait wait, you haven't finished filling in details.
What is your devision? For example, Infantry, Armor, Air, Artillery...

[lemon10]

Well if everyone agrees, I'll start writing up turn one. I'm still accepting people, but I'll only take ten maximum.

10 might be a bit much, and how often do you think turns will be, personally i would like 1 day max each best

[NewsMuffin]

I'll try to do a turn a day, but I'm not going to set a hard cap at twenty four hours. However, if you would like me to set one, I'll do it.
What is your devision? For example, Infantry, Armor, Air, Artillery...

[Phantom]

Well Cadian 23rd Shock Troopers...
Eh, Infantry.


Any particular setting? Any particular enemy? (Tau, Tyranids, Chaos Space Marines...)
