Doulos

So far we have 13 players in the SG.... yay! All I've done is run around the base like an excited kid!

NEW ADDITION

AT level 20 customisation of gloves and boots is the way forward.... so if you want flames, or stripes or to remove your helmet (if not a librarian or chaplain) then level 20 is the time to do it, give us all a bit of insentive to get there!

MA is there as an option, I suppose people who want to be powerfist wielders should use energy melee to represent it...

anyway here is a picture of the Great Hall in the base...

I see your point, MA has alot of kicking which won't fit teh concept, here all, on suggestion of cuddles MA has been scrapped from possible scrapper builds

[ QUOTE ]
So to sum up doulos are these your allowed powersets?

brothers:
AR - energy blaster
broadsword/katana/marshal Arts - regen/sr/invincibility

chaplain:
AR - energy blaster with medicine pool (and ressurrect)
Empathy/psi defender

Librarian:
Mind/kin controller

Terminator: (ALL have huge builds)
invincibility - axe/energy/Super strength melee tanker
Claws Scrapper - regen/SR/Invinc
Broadsword Scrapper - Regen/SR/Invince


[/ QUOTE ]

there we go, all amended to fit in with the categories, basically anythign that has an aura that removes too much of the image is not permited (dark, ice, stone, fire)


EDIT a huge CLAWS scrapper is also permitted, the power claws terminator was one of my favourite terminators as a kid, I had 3 in a squad with a chaingun one and a powersword one... so they would fit into the terminator class happily... yay for games workshop and their powersets....

9 people already have their Riflemen in the SG but I shall be loitering around for the rest of the day to invite people as a point of contact so @doulos is your friend then we will start ramapaging through the levels to get people as high as possible and get the prestige coming in.Even 5 of us gathered looks awesome, if anyone needs to fiddle there uniform then I will happily pay for the changes and escort you to icon...

Its not unfair dude, I didn't know yesterday, if you want a sword a sword you can have, but think about teh machine gun ... its a living being thats evolving and starting to look very promising.

Currently we have 2 chaplains (empath psi) and a librarian (mind/kin) a few AR/Ens but I imagine later we will have at least one terminator too, also looking forward to seeing the melee crowd come in! So an early level roll looks an option this evening.

Base has taken its first steps and has a grand hall, have been asked if RPing is OK and the answer is YES! this is a concept group so if you want to RP then feel free...

cool!

Katana and Martial Arts have been added as acceptable powersets for those who wish there Battle Brother to be a melee specialist

but then invul has a glow too, we have to take on the limitations of the powersets we have so if a power gives a glow then we just have to accept it as part of the toon...

Librarian (Mind/Psi or /empath)


[/ QUOTE ]

Huh? you mean /kin, right? Or are you accepting dominators?

[/ QUOTE ]

yes, I got it wrong... excitement getting the best of me...

any member can now invite... just use the power responsibly

I'd feel guilty doign that scape... plus I don;t know how

Ji would be great to have you along as a terminator, there are 4 or 5 level 2s in the group so a lowbies team should rock later.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ok, let's see how many Terminators will there be, because you know how i feel in having more than a tanker in team


[/ QUOTE ]

Well currently my tank is the only terminator in there, level 14 and there as back up as my blaster will, unsurprisingly be my main, you might as well make one and claim the spot Jum is making one too (I hope), but thats cool.

So categorys we have are:

Terminator (En/Axe Invul Tank)
Battle Brother (Broadsword Regen/Invul/SR Scrapper AND AR/En Blaster)
Chaplains (Empath/Psi OR any battle brother with the ability to Res, so at level 20 a Battle Brother can become a Chaplain)
Librarian (Mind/Psi or /empath)

Do I need to change my alts name? I really like it.

No

COOL CUDDLES, had thought of that, you'll go down in ranking as a Battle Brother but we shall all know your role! Jum, stoneys might not work as a terminator due to the dramatic shift in appearance they give but if you want to give it a go thats cool...

The ranks are swelling and it looks like a lowbie team could well be on for later... how fun!

Scape you could always just re-roll its only a couple of hours play...

[ QUOTE ]
Yay! Read all 49 messages of this, and you can count me in. I'll roll whatever you want me too, whatever your short of really.

Let me know.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is whatever you want to be jum... an ideal 8 man team would have:

1 terminator
1-2 Chaplains
1 Librarian
4-5 battle brothers

looks like chaplains are Blasters with medicine pool then, which is cool cause it means more machine gun noises

I guess a librarian could always be /empath /kin anyway...

[ QUOTE ]
Ah, no. I thought the Chap's would be blasters but with the healy pool. I don't fancy empathy again!
I'll think of something else

[/ QUOTE ]

We could always make it so that the Chaps are either Empaths or Blasters with the healing pool, as in the 40k universe they then to be a bit of both, if I could I'd consider and Empath/AR but we're not allowed them for some reason.

This is all very formative so please feel free to chip in ideas and thoughts as you can see in a few pages things have changed dramatically already as a response to people suggestions...

[ QUOTE ]
I still think you should allow women to join the IR's.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not going to happen dude, sorry, doesn;t fit the concept...

The ranks are title specific so if you make a Chaplain then that will be your delegated rank.

The ranks are (once again)

Commander
Librarian (the trollers)
Chaplain (Nice white armour the empath/psi)
Terminator (the tanks)
Battle Brother (blasters)

And depending on build you will get different ranks with matching privaledges...

Librarians and chaplains can opt out of helemts if they want to... at SL 20 and second outfits others can too if they want...

I'm level 10 and waiting, I have redesigned my tank Wes Tham (level 14) and will be getting him into the group soon as a terminator for when that is needed, means he'll be leaving the AC.... but then we may need some muscle at some point...

[ QUOTE ]
I am intrested, just not fully sold. What do you want me to do, and why choose me?

[/ QUOTE ]

Duckee, we choose you cause you are a great team player, as to what do you want to do? There are lots of possible builds proposed in this thread, pick one, make one, then come and play, enjoy the sounds of numerous assault rifles firing off as the Rifles work through mission, shoot a gun, exercise control, support the squad or be at the forefront of the attack as a might terminator, the choice is all yours!

[ QUOTE ]
I have an AR/Dev... no more character slots...

[/ QUOTE ]

AR/Dev is gimped (trust me I know this!), delete him and come join us!

No, not at all, those were just some ideas thrown out...

and for those that care, here is a smidgeon of background...

For over 3000 years we served, fighting in the deepest regions of space, our war torn dimension has become a hell hole of iniquity and despair. We lost contact long ago, our fleet decimated our hopes ruined but we kept fighting. A skirmish here, a skirmish there, our war, so personal, even if the order came to withdraw we would not have obeyed, the greater good is only an ideal we reminded ourselves off and laugh about, but something happened, something changed.

On a scouting mission our forces encountered something new, a power field that none of us had seen before, we observed it, we studied it, the planet we were on was desolate, not a place to find such an anomaly. Then we were attacked. Enemies we had never encountered before took us by surprise and those of us who survived long enough took a bold and reckless step. Pushed back as we were we stepped through the energy field, and something happened.

Searing pain took our bodies as we were pulled by rapids of deep space energy through dimensional flux and twists, it felt as if we were unmade and made a million times over in seconds. The survivors arrived in a new dimension, one where our ways, the order we lived by were never in existence, a dimension where the powers we had built into us appeared in many, in a city called Paragon. Our numbers were thrown all over the expanse of the urban sprawl, but one by one we locate each other, rebuilding the company, the Imperial Rifles will rise again, they will fight again, for now we have joined a cause, once again fighting for peace and justice which we had once lost all hope of.

Just made some mock up cossies to have a look at (on defiant, my slot space )

IR Terminator

IR Librarian


IR Chaplain

Colours are dark purple and white, make whatever colours you want cause SG colours will kick in anyway when I invite you...

I loved the models, kinda enjoyed the game, enjoyed painting but sucked at it it was just teh concept of them and the look that I always loved.

Psyco mouse may be a little on the small side for a terminator...

Anyway here is build schematics, terminator variations in Blue

Build

Male Athletic (6-7 ft tall)
Huge Slim (6-7 ft tall)
Huge Atheletic (7-8 ft tall)

Helmets
Full Helmet - Tech Helm
Detail 1 - Side Scoop
Detail 2 - Tech Shield

Shoulders - Tech 1 Medieval
Gloves - Tech Wired (Large optional) Large Robotic Tech
