Honestly having a Tau from the Farsight Enclaves would be amazeballs or heck a Kroot would be slick too.

However I ain't gonna judge what you all pick I would prefer Xenos friendly but not like we are all friends and all friendly.  That can develop over time as I intend for my Dark Eldar to be more open to things not Dark Eldar since she is on board for survival and things like pride need to be sacrificed for survival at times.

This also sets her foundation for why she will join the Ynnari after the whole Cadia Falls stuff.

Well since I originally piggy backed this and since back to square one.

Still looking for a GM to run a 40k game.  Already have character made using base rules and I think two or three others who were in the game have their characters already made too.  So, ummm, looking for a new GM

[Muse]

Cosigning.  :) 

[Idej]

Just bumping this one again to see if there are any takers to run a 40k Rogue Trader game.

[Muse]

Here's hoping.

I've actually managed to get a copy of Rogue Trader finally, which is amazingly lucky for me as the book is out of print! ^^;;

Anyways, with enjoying a Warhammer Fantasy rpg right now, I'd love to branch out and play in a Rogue Trader game too. Seems it would be really fun and reminds me a fair bit of Traveller, which was one of my main rpg loves.

So, third player here. :) Just need a GM. ^^

[Idej]

Yeah It is really fun

I have a Dark Eldar made and ready for this.  :)

Rogue Trader is what got me into 40k

[wander]

Just from the Corebook I like the looks of playing a fortune driven Void-Master or Explorator (because Tech-Priests and the Adeptus Mechanicus ftw!). That or a prideful Navigator. 

I have access to supplements, though I think for myself I'd limit my own options to the corebook so I can ease myself into the game, bit by bit. I do have experience playing in games of Deathwatch and other 40k rpgs though.

I'm old hat when it comes to the setting though. I used to grab White Dwarf in the mid-90s, owned the Space Crusade boardgame, Necromunda, Blood Bowl (played this a shit-ton! My Skaven never lost a match!), Battlefleet Gothic... Just so happened to be a Geedubs start in my city around '95-96 and I liked the models.

I'm much more a tabletop player than a lore dude, though I admire both and now I own the RT rpg, I figured I'd add myself to the pot here. :)

[Idej]

I completely spaced out that you replied

Sorry

Yeah I like Explorator and Navigator

But today I wanna be a Dark Eldar

And its all good

I was into the lie before got money to buy my Dark Eldar army.  Am trying to build a mixed Eldar army with Ynnari but since Dark Eldar get love in RT I figured making one here would be cool

[wander]

I'm giving this thread a bump in the hopes of getting some peoples to play Rogue Trader with. I'm not confident at all to GM itself, though I am very eager to play and be a crew member in a cool ass spaceship, going around free trading and making ends meet across the galaxy. 

[Ironwolf85]

what ya need in terms of skill?

[Rad]

Giving this thread some love.

I'm not ready to commit to anything long-term just yet, and I haven't played Rogue Trader - more of a Dark Heresy fan meself. But I'd give a shot to any Warhammer RP, honestly. So I'll be peeping every now and then to see what stirs.

And if I ever find the time, I might even GM one myself.

[wander]

Still about and interested for it. :)

Is there interest with a stripped down system based on Mordheim? I never got into the FFG editions and Mordheim looks like something WFRP would have been if GW kept up with it or initially published it 20 years later.

EDIT: random thoughts here: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=285653.0

When I click on that link, nothing happens green.

[greenknight]

Does it work for you now? Feel free to add thoughts here or there.

[wander]

It does. What system is this using?

[greenknight]

Mordheim version of the skirmish rules. So all the skills are the skill categories with specific skills underneath.

[wander]

The only Mordheim I know is the old tabletop minis game back from 18 years ago and the vidja that came later based off it. And the only Skirmish I know of is the current Age of Sigmar skirmish tabletop minis game.

Yep, that skirmish game. I'd rather use standard stats than WFRP for a system game and Mordheim and Necromunda have an advancement system crunchy enough for a forum game. That said, I probably need to find a digital copy of Necromunda; Mordheim was my default because I have the free .pdfs GW distributed several years ago.

[wander]

Google is your friend, at least when it comes to the older version of Necromunda.

It'd be more of a combat-centric game at that point however. Which I don't mind, combat gaming is what 40k was made for and I enjoy that kind of thing. However, if combat is the main deal, then why not play as Special Characters from 40k itself and do gladiatorial combatting? I got 8th edition stats for pretty much everyone through the Indexes.

[Idej]

I have about over 50% of the Codexes released so far lol

Lacking all of the special Space Marines Codexes

Death Guard

Tyranids

and Necrons

[wander]

I just have Death Guard and Custodes as actual codexes.

I thought I was going to only be buying DG, though the announcement of the Custodes this January was a surprise I couldn't help but get involved with for a hobby project this year. I should have completed my 1,500pts of them by next month and be ready to return to my green stinkbois for the summer to get them up to their 1k list.
