Black Crusade [Ooc]

[Kickstarted and Running 965]

"It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Man for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die.Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in His name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat to humanity from aliens, heretics, mutants -- and far, far worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."

"Help! They're coming for us! Oh Emperor... Die you bastards! Emperor judge you! -gun shots, screaming- "To any receiving, this is Lord Commander Castor of Crows World, they're here! They came out of nowhere! The entire Subsector is on fire! They're in our heads! AAAAGH! EMPEROR PROTECTS! -maniacal laughing, gunshot, static-"

Welcome to another Warhammer 40k forum roleplay thread. In this, the forces Chaos have begun another Black Crusade, this is of course non-canon, and the Fourteenth Black Crusade, marshaled by Abaddon the Despoiler. He has assembled countless warbands and rogue Imperial assets, turncoats, daemons, and other foul creatures of the Warp.

 

Xenos have also made an incursion into the Pale Stars, seeking tech, conquest, knowledge, or simply to annihilate all life.

 

You will take the role of a small contingent of soldiers, varying in size based on the chosen race, rank, and seniority your main character has. The limit will be a small strike team, for Guardsmen around 150 men, Space Marines/Chaos Marines 30 men, Tau around 50, Eldar 40, Necrons 40, Sisters of Battle 40, Dark Eldar 50, Orks 70, Ordo Malleus (Inquisition) 10 Grey Knights, 30 Stormtroopers if you choose to omit Grey Knights, 60 Stormtroopers.

 

​Vehicles will be a rarity, and numbers can increase in size. Establishing advance bases and expanding will be crucial to maintaining your troops.

 

Now this all sounds complex but it really isn't.

 

Here is the map and further explanation.

 

 

Imperial forces starts on Crows World, it is currently being overrun with Chaos Heretics.

 

Chaos and Dark Eldar starts on Phargos Hex, a hellhole of a planet, which is a desolate wasteland.

 

Tau will arrive above Larsa with a small fleet of ships.

 

Eldar start in a Craftworld in the Wilderness Space region.

 

Orks are also above Larsa in a Rok

 

Kyro is desolate, filled with Tyranids right now (non-playable) and Larsa is dead. Nobody is sure what has happened to it. Any contact with the feral world Optera is also gone, and being probed by the Imperial Reclamation Fleet sent there.

-Other notice-

If it turns out we do not have enough Xenos/Chaos players, I will assume the mantle of such a task, and play as various races in this FRP, maybe even deciding the outcome of battles between myself with a game of DoW: Soulstorm with appropriate mods for balancing.

Ordo Xenos is an Inquisition Order ;) I do like your application however, and after our discussion I am eager to see how this turns out! You can make the first post on the RP thread if you'd like, as you are accepted.

Sweet! And sorry, I'm still rather new to the Warhammer RP though I learn more and more every second that I read about the Necrons, and I would love to do the first RP post, yet sadly I am being forced off the computer as it is 11:33 pm and I have school an need sleep. Can't wait to partake in the forum RP though!
