I must admit, this model looks damn good when stood under atlas as a group. One of D's better 2 week wonders?
Could this strech to 3 weeks?

God i used to love painting the figurines, could never get into the game fully though...

Same, always used to like painting the figures. Used to have one of the rule books and played it about twice I think. Anyway, how long do you think it will be til someone starts up a Chaos Rifles in CoV?

Same here too, the game bored me but I loved painting the characters. Helped that I got paid to do it I suppose

Azrael was leader of the much cooler Dark Angels. He had a dirty great sword and a book.

Is there going to be a lowbie run around Atlas tonight to get through the dull early levels? If so I may be tempted.....

Are the main colours just black with white details?

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.

Hmmmm.

This is tricky, I don't like to pick a power set twice. It's your idea, so I won't do anything you don't want. I'll ponder some more.

Sounds cool, I dunno if I want to do this or make a skaven themed group to fight you with

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.

The one thing that always bugged be about the 40K concept was, why bother going to the effort of massive armour, only to leave the head exposed?

Duh!

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!

How far behind am I D? I left at level 6/7. In just a fw hours
Will I be able to catch up tonight?

PEACE be thy name.


 

Posted

I'll try AR/En.

Got the moron today, so I wontget much done


 

Posted

Bugger it, I'm in.

I'll go Chaplain too, got a couple of ideas.

Would be good if we can try and keep within a few levels of each other, though I know that can be difficult.

Is there a rank of chaplain? Just wondering whether to include it in my name or not.


 

Posted

Sounds like a great idea D, any chance I could sign up?

AR/En sounds fun


 

Posted

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...


 

Posted

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


 

Posted

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...

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

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
