Inquisitor Game Discussion / Re: Warband for Saturday
Last post by ColonelMatt - June 22, 2023, 10:01:07 AMThanks! I was checking to see none of it sounded OP before I did the fluff.
Gwynevan Mamoreal Brycear Du'Cain III is the latest in an ancient line of Rogue Traders, though recently turning up in Imperial space on an old and battered ship he seems to have fallen on hard times. Never one for studying, Gwyn was raised on tales of Old Earth and subsequently grew into a man yearning to seek out adventure and the unknown. Fortunately for him, he was in a position to do just that, and travelled beyond imperial space for years as he served under his mother. It's not known what circumstances led to Gwyn coming into possession of his family's Warrant of Trade and Gwyn certainly doesn't speak of it, but he now finds himself the young leader of House Du'Cain and likely out of his depth. Nevertheless, Gwyn is never one to shy away from a challenge and has surrounded himself with a coterie of followers who can shore up his areas of weakness; he knows there are areas and skillsets he is lacking but what's the point of money and power if you have to do everything for yourself? Why Gwyn has chosen to return to (campaign location) specifically is not clear, but he seems to be seeking a member of the Inquisition and word is that he has the tome (Grimoire?) of and Inquisitor in his possession.
Rhianniya was a member of the Adeptus Arbites on a world on the edge of Imperium space. Exceptionally bright and diligent, she nevertheless refused all offers of promotion and never sought advancement, instead studying and honing her skills in a lowly enforcer. Gwynevan was trading on her home planet when he found himself in the middle of a sticky situation between a group of gangers, a corrupted factory owner and a large beast from the hive sewage system. Rhi was part of the squad that dealt with the situation, saving the rogue trader's life in the process. Gwyn saw Rhi's talent and proposed she join his crew. Although initially dismissive of the idea, after a few weeks of persuasion whilst Gwyn finished his business on the world, Rhi relented and left on his ship. Some believe that it was his purchase of a cybernetic eye to replace the one she lost in the action saving his life that was the clincher, but the reality is that a far darker secret led to her acquiescence, and it is because of this that Rhi has fought loyally to protect Gwyn over the past decade of service.

Inquisitor Game Discussion / Re: Warband for Saturday
Last post by mcjomar - June 22, 2023, 07:34:10 AMWithout a backstory to explain what's going on with these characters, why they are the way they are, and how they are related, etc, it's difficult to make a good judgement call.
However - the main thing that jumps out at me is that it reads like the Enforcer has a really high Sg, while the Rogue Trader has a much lower one?
I'd suggest swapping their Sg scores, as it makes more sense for a Rogue Trader (given the shenanigans, cunning, education, and planning that such an individual would express) to have a high Sg than it does for an Enforcer (you can always give the Enforcer an Sg bonus in a skill in tests relating to their career knowledge, for example?).
Otherwise, in the absence of backstory for the characters, everything else looks reasonable.

Painting and Modelling / Re: Marco does something
Last post by MarcoSkoll - June 21, 2023, 11:55:24 PMWell, I frequently say I only ever get stuff done because events make for a deadline.
I've been wittering on about this occasionally on the Discord, but so it's not all hidden only there, one trucK:

No escape.
Well, egregious wastage in case of escape, anyway.
I was planning on getting House Nepotem ready for the show, but they are decidedly obviously not GW-based toys, and are in fact obviously literally toys dressed up as grown up minature objet d'art.
I'm not sure whether I'm speedpainting a scum gang led by a deep undercover Interrogator infiltrator, or bringing the AdMech team we all know and... are familiar with.
Or both, and decide as each table appeals.

Warhammer World, Saturday 24th June 2023
Warhammer World, Saturday 24th June 2023
+++++INCOMING TRANSMISSION+++++
Brothers and Sisters,
The Inquisitors of the Carthax sector are called to congregate upon Tigguo Cobauc, and form a council to decide upon the use of the recently recovered Grallus Codex.
It must be collectively decreed whether this artefact will be deployed as a first strike in the Carthax Sector's holy crusade into the Alykia sector, whether it shall be placed into the Conclave's vaults, or whether this technology is deemed tainted by Abominable Intelligence.
- M
+++++TRANSMISSION TERMINATES+++++
Sorry about being late getting out this event pack, but we are still on track for an event later this month!
This particular narrative actually follows on from the earlier events of The Saint (back in 2011), Legacy (in 2018), and indeed a Dark Heresy campaign that span off it (but you won't need to know the specifics of that!), looking into the first stages of the Carthax Sector's crusade into its fallen neighbour, the Alykia Sector.
Event Pack
Currently, we have enough tables for twelve attendees. The event is not strictly ticketed, but priority will be given on a first-come basis to those who have told the organiser in writing that they're attending. If you later can't attend, or think you may have to drop out, please notify me as soon as possible.
