Well if I remember correctly Dreadnoughts are an elite advance sort of deal and you need to have a certain renown so it's not something easily taken at creation.

I kid, I was not expecting to have a dread at character creation.  I specialize in bizarre character concepts :D

Apothecary would be my choice of specialty, but I could easily change up to tactical brother or other specialty if we need it.

go for what you like most. We got the first choice here after all let the new blood later suffer though all the cool concepts being taken ;-)

I wanted to be a ravenwing dreadnaught once. But the GM didn't let me use a land raider as a bike. *cries*

No, no, no...

You needed to step on a Stormtalon Gunship and use it as your ride!

Hey, if we wanted to go orky we could always skysurf on rokkitsquigs...

If wed play an Orky game id make a Brute Ramship Kamikaze pilot :-P

I've given you all a blank character sheet to work with. It's not exactly blank, it has a couple of common Space Marine stuff.

So i went with these psy powers.

Powers:
Avenger                            Psychic Heavy Flamer. Pen PRx2
Smite                              Psychic blast. 1d10xpsy damage, Pen Psy, Blast Psy. WP as shooting inc range
Augury                             Gain some answers to a question

The emperor might answer our questions and the rest i can purge with his holy fire.

OK it might be awhile before I have time to set up this campaign properly. Would everyone like to play a normal Deathwatch game, using published scenarios? Thinking of starting with Final Sanction.

couldn't we start this one as a normal and then slide over into the special once you are done with setting it up? That at that point we are 'leased' to the chapter.

Sounds fine to me.

Okay, I'll adjust the character creation rules. Go ahead and start making a standard Deathwatch character.

In the interest of making things easier, I'll stick with the Apothecary but shift to one of the book chapters.  Need to re-read some of the fluff.

Howdy folks, Space Puppy bog standard here. I'll be providing the beer/mjod for for this campaign and punching any dark angels we see upside the head.

We keep the extra 500 xp we got earlier?

Welcome player D. Sad to see you are a wretched flea carrier but as im a space shark this turn you come off easy ;-)

Yeah, sure, hang on to your ill-gotten plunderage, you cartilaginous vulture of the void-seas.

Is that an extra 500xp for everyone, or does it just relate to players that have been in another game related to this one?

You can have it.

Yar!! Da first plunder is to be had mateys!!!

Done again. Im so good ;-)

Yay, that means I have enough XP to bring along my faithful hound.

Edit: Sent my sheet by PM because I can't edit under Character Details yet. Background is done but not typed up yet because of RL nonsense.

Hi all, I'll be joining, not sure if the game setting and all has been decided?  I saw Orks, Marines, and pretty much everything in between.  I initially pitched a Charcaradon Assault marine, but can be very flexible, as I see there could be more than one.

Has a decision been made on the game?  I'll come up with a concept once we're set.

Just out of curiosity, what specialisms has everyone gone for?

My understanding is that we'll start with Final Sanction using wholly standard DW rules.

Maybe we should all be Carcharadons, and call ourselves Squad Sharknado.  You know you want to :P

We will definitely be starting with standard deathwatch rules playing final sanction and then moving on to other ones. Eventually, we will be graduating to an original campaign.

Apothecary.  Chapter TBD.  If two of you are serious about going Space Shark I'm probably going to have to avoid the more humanitarian-minded chapters.
