Re: Black Crusade

As much as I love Khornate I would probably go Nurgle. So much fun!

Re: Black Crusade

So many to choose from. Spread plague. Rut senseless. Wield incredible magic. Slaughter mercilessly. The Chaos patrol sure do have some fun. What was I thinking following the Imperium for so long?!

A fellow Tzeentchian, though Chaos Undivided is a close second.

Re: Black Crusade

Night lords and Alphas.

Soul Hunter really made me like the sons of Kurze. Evil (or just misunderstood) Batman Astartes FTW!

Re: Black Crusade

Probalby (maybe) Nurgle but none of the images seen so far really speak to me as a definite "would choose this." Bit like me and deathwatch I suppose.  I can ape a Space Marine for a little while, but I can't play one very well.  However, since it looks like we are getting more options than simply "Traitor Legion" or "Heretic Chapter" there is still hope.

Re: Black Crusade

You don't know how hard it's been to keep this secret :P

You guys are going to absolutely love this game. For me, it easily sits as joint best game with Rogue Trader, and I could even be tempted to put it above even that.

Re: Black Crusade

Are you going to GM it for us then MILLANDSON?  Can I play?  :D

(I'm totally going to run a game of this when it comes out.  But I want to play as well!)

Re: Black Crusade

I can understand why they needed more playtesters ;)

Not sure if I will like this game though. Chaos for me is pure undiluted evil. Sure the cultist might think they have good reasons but in the end they become evil and thrive only to harm other beings.

And that is a depth where I do not feel comfortable to dwell. Playing in the Grey area is fine but pure black?

Re: Black Crusade

Heh, maybe, maybe :P Depends when it comes out (I have no idea, other than maybe Gencon since that when the other books were released), and what I'm doing at the time :)

Re: Black Crusade

Are you able to give any general details of what we can expect from it, or is it all NDAed?

Re: Black Crusade

Other than it's existence, the general stuff covered in the blurb and the other info in the Black Crusade section of the website, I'm only allowed to talk about stuff you guys could figure out for yourselves (such as, the Vortex that is the Black Crusade setting is actually on the Rogue Trader map, in the middle of the warp storms that separate Calixis from Koronus).

Re: Black Crusade

Are you allowed to say what classes are available? So far there appears to be CSMs, Dark Mechanicus and human Cult Leader, judging from the info published.

What about the scale? Would it be closer to Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader? With the talk of forging armies of your own, it would seem it can range quite widely.

Re: Black Crusade

Thousand Sons for life and after wards. *Makes the Prospero sign*

Though yea, Chaos is pretty much the baddy choice for it, especially under the Armless Failure. But yes, a little bit of lip service to the old bit of fluff that the gods represent slaughter, death, excess, and ambition they also are personifications of honor, life, joy, and hope. It's just that, like most of the writers, people forget it and go with the GRIMDARKEVILMETAL way. Yes there are some redeming values to Chaos, it's just that the spaztic little monkies out number the rational chaos. Pretty much the same with most Space Marines and the rarity of Reasonable Marines.

But then again sometimes you just need to ride a flaming motorcycle through space while doing copious amounts of cocaine.

Re: Black Crusade

Sheesh, you distribute a few texts on deamon summoning for beginners, and publish a few pict-casts of the cardinal dressed as a nun, and suddenly you're public enemy number lots :P
