I'm looking for someone to start up a Warhammer 40k game, it would entail the fight between Spacemarines (who we will play) and orks, with the influence of chaos being part of the plot. I don't care what system, i'm thinking Only War, but as long as it works for the setting i'm fine with it. Also the game will be rated mature.


I can guarantee three players (myself included), and one maybe player

Would LOVE to play some Only War sadly I can't gm.

Heads up Only War is based of Imperial Guard not Spacemarines. You would be thinking Deathwatch if you want to play as Spacemarines.

I don't care!!! I wanna play a 40k game!

In reply to FergoTheBrute (msg # 3):

yeah i was thinking that too, but i'm not terribly familiar with WH40k systems, Deathwatch can work, i'm very willing to learn, and the others who want to play are more experienced.

I am up for running this. My terms.

Deathwatch rules

Either players all agree to be the same Chapter or it is a Deathwatch Kill Team

No custom Chapters, No Black Shields, No Wolf Scout from First Founding, no Inquisitors or crossovers from DH, RT, OW.

No duplication of Specialties.

Set in the Jericho Reaches, in a system near the Slinnar Drift

The main inhabited planet is a Feral World, where xeno life forms of all types exist and breed everything from marrow eating maggots to butterflies that lay microscopic eggs on the winds that then are inhaled, to hatch in lungs and eat their way out.

The set up:
A Mechanicus Titanicus transport encountered a Warp storm and was transported to a far system in the Jericho Reach, the main world is Feral and has not known the light of the Imperium in millennia.  Soon after a uncontrolled landing a series of Ork clans made planetfall and tried to claim the prize of the Universe-class Mass Conveyor and everything of the Cult Mechanicus.

The Marines were sent in with one mission, safeguard the Mechanicus.

This game will have serial elements and if all you want is combat, then I guarantee you will win some battles but lose the war and the world for the Emperor.

There is a Human presence on the world as well as secrets, ignore those and the Orks prevail.

Work for anyone?

EDIT: I would not be able to start IC posts until January 6

Characters start at Rank 1 with 2500 Xp to Spend

I have never played this system but if you GM help I can promsie to NOT flak out on this game!!!

if you don't mind I'd also like to join in

In reply to fredrikslicer (msg # 8):

I'd be up for a game as well.  I've played Deathwatch once and would gladly go as a kill team or all from one chapter.

So was there a Game Thread yet?

Ya lets all be a kill team or same chapter.


Could someone help me when we start roll up a character? Ive played Rifts 15 years, Dnd 15 years but have read all the Warhammer books and really wanna try to play a space marine!

i'd enjoy playing the same chapter, also i'm new to warhammer systems other then only war, so please be gentle.

also what about the chaos presence as mentioned? It's not make or break, but i do find chaos to be very interesting to fight/deal with

Everything in the request for a GM will be in the game.

The advantage of being all one Chapter is that Cohesion will not be a problem and all marines can share in the Chapter Attack and Defense patterns.

The Advantage to Deathwatch is the variety and certain Deathwatch specific Talents.

I will start a Game, however you guys all have to figure out two things.

One, which Chapter Deathwatch or other

Two, how much interference does it bring to a game that players are in scattered time zones around the world?

I am going to require everyone has at least a copy of the Deathwatch rules.

Here is a link to a Deathwatch primer

I live in St. Louis

I can post pretty much all day from work and I post alot :)

Ill keep up!


Id like to ask everyone that plays thou not to flake out..I have seen it to many times so lets all try to stick with it..


If we die we die, its easy to bring in another character..So lets stay playing.

Is there a specific edition before i look for it?


No, there is really only one edition.  The best option IMHO is a PDF copy, from Drive Thru RPG, or any like site.

I live in So Cal, US of A

And there is a Living Errata 1.1 for Deathwatch and Rite of Battle

In reply to lensman (msg # 19):

 err that's rated adult

Going off memory, changed to Mature after I re read the original post.

link to another game MATURE GAME

I'm trying to set up a game of Wushu using the 40k universe as the setting.  Players take the parts of the Deathwatch space marines, in a campaign that will see them facing xenos threats that are hard to destroy simply by blasting them with bolters.   Think epic adventure rather than a wargame.

Feel free to check out what I have already.
