It's been a long while since I last got out my 40K, but recently I was reading through one of my old White Dewarfs and came accross some great writing, and then I rembered why i used to play 40K, not for the modles, but for the great universe.

And I thought of you guys, and I thought of how I'd love to do a RP with you, set in the 40K universe, so simply pick a fraction, odviusly there can be more than 1 player of each fraction (Ie: Two diffrent bands of Dark Eldar, Diffrent Imperial Guard armys, diffrent space marine legions, diffrent hivefleets, ect.) and Rp with them, anyone can join and it won't affect your nation.

The only rule is that you must act within the constrants of your fraction, so a space Marine legion can't have more than 1,000 men in it, and a Eldar craftworld can't have 20,000,000 troops. Other than that it's free form, I guess that most marine players won't attack Guardsmen, but it isn't actually nesscary to stay within your forces. Marines do go evil somtimes.

I'm going to play Craftworld Eldar.

I'll take orks

Okay. Do you have any names of leader ect., for us to reffer to?

I'll called my warboss Throgg

Can I join as my own Space Marine chapter? I'll give info if the answer is yes

btw i guess i should add i generally play as an outcast clan with enough moles to get my hands on all the best technology but also am disloyal enough to ally with anyone including *shock horror* chaos (but I usually shoot them in the back once they've done a lot of the hard work) ;)

I play Dark Eldar, Tau and Daemonhunters. My Dark Eldar have won me tournaments mainly because people don't expect six raiders moving twenty four inches up to their army in the first turn. They shoot the raiders, some are destroyed, others are not. Next turn my Wych Archite and wyches deliver 120! attacks [with the rights combat drugs roll].

How can you not serve the Greater Good? LOL :D

More history and stuff on my chapter:

Chapter Name: The Black Angels
Original geneseed: Multiple
Primarch: N/A
Chapter Master: Andreus Salazar
Battle Cry: Never forgive, Never forget!
History: The Black Angels are one of the ‘cursed founding’ chapters, an attempt by humanity to create the ultimate Space Marine. Taking samples from the geneseed of the Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Black Templars, and White Scars chapters, it was hoped that a mixture of the various specialities of each chapter would result in a force that could adapt to any situation better even than the Ultramarines, whose geneseed is of the purest quality. However, the experiment was seemingly a failure, and all thought turned to the latest threat posed by the Tyranid Hive Fleets advancing from the Eastern Fringe.
Instead of the balanced force that was intended, the Imperium found itself with a force that would engage the enemy in a long-range fire fight before moving in for a lightning fast strike, using many transports and armour to move quickly. Following this, they rarely consolidated, instead pushing further into enemy terrority. This has resulted in the massacre of almost the whole Tenth Company following an advance into Chaos terrority. However, the company has since been restored to its full strength, and the Black Angels have learnt their lesson. However, the base tactic is still used as the basis of their combat doctrine. This lighting raid is characteristic of the White Scars, but with all the ferocity of the Blood Angels and the fanatical devotion to the Emperor of the Black Templars and the Dark Angels. They also inherited the ship-based combat skills of the Black Templars, making this a force to be reckoned with, and the Tech-Priests again began to investigate them. Despite original lack of success, the chapter has gone to ever-greater fame. The experiment has been closed, and its findings reported to the Inquisition. As cursed founding chapters seemingly always have at least one mutation, it is simply a matter of time before this geneseed displays its own characteristics.
They do adhere to a codex formation, regardless of their tactics, and the results show that they are a very successful chapter. Upon their creation, they were gifted with the world of Primus, located in the Cadian sector, close to the Eye of Terror. Over the centuries, they have been involved in holding back the flow of Chaos into the material universe, and as such, their experience is widely valued among their founding chapters in particular. The lack of support from these hardened Chaos fighters during Abaddon the Despoiler’s last Black Crusade has been attributed to the fact that the entire chapter was engaged in a massive battle on the dead world of Taranta, far from Cadia, holding back many of Abaddon’s reinforcements.

Sorry, I posted before I read the sign-up thread.

I'll play the Enslavers.

Trust me...I've got a good story to back it up...

Ill be the kroot

All fine, post on the Rp thread.

Could I take Inquisition? Or just a cell of, say, Ordo Malleus Inquisitors?

And is this linked with the other WH40K based earth running at the moment?

And where is the rp thread?

Meh, I'll sign up.

Race: Tau
Leader: O'Suran
Background: One of the few groups stationed on the outer rim of the Tau Empire, O'Suran's group is nearly 300 living beings, consisting mostly of Tau, with surprisingly small quantities of Kroot making up their force. The force itself is mostly filled with Veterans, as they have fought off everything from the Genetically Engineered super-soldiers of the Imperium of Man, to the elegant yet deadly beings known as the Eldar.

Their force is very rarely in contact with any higher command, and so is very rarely reinforced or resupplied. Thus, they make extensive use of drones, thus giving them large amounts of expendable troops, both in the form of gun drones to form hunter-killer squads, and shield drones to protect their living forces.

The Army also employs large amounts of Heavy Weaponry, used by both Infantry and Vehicles, preferring a good defense over a strong offense. Quite simply, they don't have the Manpower to really start mounting large attacks unless they have no other choice.

The Commander himself is the proud owner of an XV-88 Broadside Battle Suit, owing it's usage to the Army's defensive policy.

Lately though, the force has been getting used for establishing 'beachheads' on enemy worlds, where they punch through the enemy defences, then defend the 'beachhead' until a far larger force comes to continue the attack upon the world.

Gah, too many Tau, and I only just saw the sign up thread

I may change then. Annoying, since I just love the little guys.

Bah, who wouldn't love a race devoted to, basically, blowing shit up.

Seeing how no one else has I'll be the imperial Guard

Regiment: Dantian 12th "The Black Panthers"
Commander: Colonel Azrael Goth
Background: Formed from the humans on the nightworld of Dante, these humans are famed for their natural stealth and nightfighting abilities.

I'll be the eldars of Biel-tan
I'll be the exarch of the Scorpion warriors(wich are the most important Aspect warriors).
His (short) name will be Ganiman.

OK (thinking hard), i need to choose an army now. Chaos, Space Marines or Imps, i've got all three. Hmmmmmmmm. Ah, might as well be space marines, Space Wolves to be exact. Will post details on the RP thread.
