FAQ:
>What the fuck is this?
Somewhat a campaign of crack-infused free-form roleplay in the grim darkness of the far future.
>When do you guys make these threads?
Usually mondays at 4PM GMT, but they sometimes extend to Tuesdays if we got caught in the middle of something when the thread died and it was too late to make another one the same day.
>Can I join in?
Sure, just think of a character and have fun, you can find most info in 1d4chan albeit it's ussually a little bit out of date in comparison to where the threads are.
>Is there any requirement in character creation.
Not really, we've had Xeno infiltrators, Chaos infiltrators, Villains, Heroes, Normal Guardsmen, Crazed Guardsmen, Assassins, Psykers, Space Marines, Inquisitors, Squats... just think whathever and join the fun.
>Is it allowed to have more than a single character?
Yes as long as you don't use it to powerplay.
>So how you guys do the playan'?
We tend to use spoilers for OOC chat, but nothing is set in stone.
We tend to use greentexts for describing a character's actions, but again nothing is set in stone.
Use d20s for combat checks and d100s for other things you want to roll, higher Is better.
It's important to know that the regiment is now in the employ of a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, with influence from an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and under the watch of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Yes we've been through a lot of shit.

We should disembark once we co-ordinate an attack maneuver, I thought that Aerial Insertion could be a go, but in the end it's up to the higher ups how we get in and disable the mutant cells.
Remember, this is a hive-world, there WILL be civillians.

You don't really need an answer to that question, do you sir? I mean.....there's an AI somewhere. Fairly certain there's an Agent of Malal onboard too.

No matter, I'll fix it later. For now, Adept Novus, could you check that the Inquisitor we captured is -definitely- our target? Iris comparisons, DNA scans, fingerprint matches.....the works. And check the Servants while you're at it, I wouldn't put it past him to try and worm his way out given how 'rusey' this place has been.

We were ordered to take care of a bunch of mutants cells here on Tranch, but we have limited to no info about how bad the situation is in there, so rather than just jump in blindly we're sending a scout team first to make a recoinassance of the situation.

She disobeyed orders -repeatedly- today. It was in the briefing, it was repeatedly stated as we approached and it was stated repeatedly once we were inside his office.
