Hear Me Out: Mad Max Meets Warhammer 40k (Only War)

[That One Dingus]

I have some experience playing Deathwatch, but I have never been involved in an Only War game. Was hoping to find a GM that is familiar with the rules.

I found a way to incorporate Immortan Joe's War Boys into an Imperial Guard regiment. (This would be a long time after the events of Fury Road and adapted to have taken place on a colony world instead of Earth.)

Besides the obviously wacky nature of the War Boys contrasting against the typical straight-faced and grumpy Guard regiment, it would also be fun to have an Only War campaign that focuses on vehicular combat without being another tank v. tank game. The fish-out-of-water theme would also be reinforced by them arriving years, if not decades or centuries, late to a system as a result of complications during Warp travel. It may have been so long that they were officially written off as dude and the local General would not know how to handle this ghost regiment being dropped in his lap.

I would be fine with this being either a solo or group game. I am happy to clarify any details or answer questions, of course.

Seeing this made me dust off the old Gorkamorka and Necromunda models! I hope you find what you are looking for!

I'd be all over this.
