Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. The first edition of this RP, for a W40K RP, was extremely successful. So, we (All credit to Segmentia, I'm just the Co-OP) are bringing it back as we know what we are doing now. For return players, you know the deal. However for the newcomers, or if you need a refreshment, look below for the information. A second section will follow the rules. No matter who you are, you must read those.
The basic idea here, is that each RPer will assume the role of an individual company within a single Imperial Guard regiment. To ensure a decent degree of customization, players can create companies from any world they wish (within reason), including fan created worlds (also within reason). As you may or may not know, regiments that suffer extreme casualties, being reduced to a companies strength, are folded into a 'mother 'company, therefore creating a full regiment of mixed cultures and soldiers of specialty.
I would also like to keep persistent stats for the various companies, to add more realism to the whole thing. So if you are interested, fill out a company application and post it, and we'll see how it does. Obviously we can't have everyone be a tank company, or all of something else. There should be more infantry companies then other types, as we will be a Line Regiment.
The situation so far....
The original regiment of the Cadain 1162nd has itself faced massive casualties in the wake of a crippling Imperial defeat on the world of Evisor. The regiment, along with many other Imperial forces, advanced to the capital only to find a host of Chaos heretics and Chaos Marines in hiding. Following a decisive and lengthy battle, the Imperials were defeated and retreated from the planet of Evisor. The remaining forces, which were few, were either sent home due to insufficient numerical value, or sent to various other Fold Regiments.
Now, the Segmentian 27th Stormtroopers have become a host for the old and coming new companies to form a new Fold Regiment. Currently stationed on the massive Imperial Forge World of Accatran, the Segmentian 27th and its host of non-Segmentian companies have lain in wait for two months in an isolated district of the factory world, awaiting orders from the chain of command.
Another Ork WAAGH! has been initiated against the Imperials, and this time, it is much more massive then the previous ones that have caused the planet to be locked in a bitter war for centuries.
Alright, so if anyone has any questions on the current situation, feel free to ask. To clarify, if you did not participate in the last one, you can still apply and participate. Please pay close attention to the rules, and have fun.
Rules:
1. No goddmodding. Take casualties. If you don't, I will make sure you suffer more than you need to.
2. This is Warhammer 40,000. If you have no knowledge of it, perhaps applying is not a good idea. But if you are interested, take a look here for information.
3. This is a relatively serious RP. Of course there may be some humorous things, your company will not be carnival clowns from the Inquisition either.
4. Your personal number cannot exceed more than 700. Armor companies can have no more than fifty Leman Russ tanks (of any variation) and any super heavy tanks must be prior approved. They will more than likely not be accepted anyways, due to their nature. Remember, you are in this new regiment because of severe losses to your previous regiment. Full stats may be denied.
5. No commanding officers above the rank of Major.
6. Type of regiments (in this case, companies) can be seen here. You can be anything but a Drop or Siege specialty. Do keep in mind that Abhumans are accepted.
