Ground Rules

1. NO GOD CHARACTERS you are guardsmen, and that’s all you’ll ever be.
2. No Marine wannabes, fallen, etc.
3. No Psykers, I may allow a Priest or commissar, just pm me the details
4. Take it light,we don’t carry big guns, just what we need.
5. Also, when the time comes let me know if you are going to try something important in the game, as I don’t want some guy killing a governor’s daughter or something.
6. Lastly, be nice and have fun.
7. Your performance is based on your posting try to go for more then "bob shoots enemy" please more like "Holding his breath in Bob lines his enemy in his sights muttering a prayer to emperor he fires at the heretic.

Were going into a heavily fortified Industrial world first keep that in mind while preparing your characters.

Very good Rock,would you being the squad sniper or just a Corporal?
I'm still working on the commander of the squad,bit of a tease here he's from the Armageddon Steel Legion,so basically a badass urban fighter,I might up myself with some extra points to .

I found out that I'm not much of a sniper guy actually.

So just extremely good shoota that's corporal would be good.

Steel Legion, eh? I always liked their model and canon.

(Tried writing a story about them, but it's so hard, since they're all bogged down in Armaggedon and all they got there is Ork)

I can be somehting like a spotter for sniper, though)

Alright Corporal at ease I'm coming along shortly.
Basically what were doing is we are the elite of our regiments pulled out of our units to attack a fortified enemy position and take down our objective,once a few more people show up we'll go to the briefing room,where your characters can interact with each other and such.

Meet your commander boys.

Name Mikhail"Blackheart"Helgast
Rank Captain 5th company Armageddon 67th
Home world Armageddon
Appearance Tall heavily muscled,blond hair blue eyes,huge scar crossing his face from Ork axe(Will elaborate in the background)
Uniform Guardsmen of the Steel Legion wear a uniform of mustard yellow greatcoat, heavy boots and gloves, gas-masks and rounded bowl helmets over black fatigues

Background Mikhail was recruited into the Steel Legion as a very small child,he was raised through the Schola Progenium(Ecclesiarchy-run schools, where the pupils have already received a strict Imperial cult education.)His father having died serving the Emporer,he was sent to fight in the Steel Legion at the age of 17 on his homeworld of Armageddon,rising through the ranks he now stands as the youngest Captain of his regiment,at the age of thirty four.

His greatest accomplishment to this date is leading his company in the defense of a large bridge,against hundreds of Orks his company stood firmly losing 75% percent of the company,Mikhail was knocked out during the battle by a vicious strike from the Ork Warboss,somehow his men dragged him back across the bridge and called artillery shelling into the Ork hoard destroying the bridge and dropping the corpses of the Regiment and many Orks into the river below.Mikhail received the coveted Macharian Cross (It is the most common award given to young officers. It is awarded for intelligent application of the Tactica Imperialis.)

After this amongst other things his regiment was sent to a new war zone,against the Traitor forces of the dark gods.

His regiment is now desperate shape,pushed to withing twenty miles of the landing zone,army HQ comprised of the most senior officers of every regiment in the field has decided to organise a suicide attack against the Traitors they are currently fighting,Mikhail seemed the obvious choice to send in as the leader of the squad,his unwavering loyalty seeing to either success or utter failure.

Hester "Snipesy" Rurik
Homeworld:Svensk Prime
Background:Hester and his brother Einar were bright eyed recruits to the Imperial Guard on Svensk Prime when they signed up, idealists untouched by the darkness of war. On his first day out of the academy, a huge Chaos invasion swept across Svensk. Their regiment destroyed by the Invasion, they took up residence in the abandoned ruins of their home, their love for each other the onlt thing keeping them going. Picking off hundreds of Cultists a day, killed by a completely precise shot from an unknown position. At night, Einar would go hunting for remaining warriors. Their efforts prevented the Incursion the foothold it needed to survive the Imperial counter attack, which destroyed the Incursion completely. They were found, and given Imperial Eagles for outstanding bravery, and have been a top class guardsmen ever since.
