Alrighty, so this thread is for introducing, describing and tracking characters. Keep track of equipment, how/where they are hurt, location, etc. Put all of your characters on one page and edit as we go along, that way the information is right at the beginning and easy to find. If you need to, go ahead and reserve a location for later. Character related discussion can happen in subsequent posts.

The rest of the Pack are equipped with Carapace armor, treat them like an IG Stormtrooper squad armed with Autoguns, Autopistols and close combat weapons as well as access to heavy weapons. They're mostly for the big battles, and a couple of squads should be enough to even give Astartes a bit of a pause even if they're forced to withdraw each time. Against normal guardsmen, they're an even fight for Stormtroopers or elites like Harakonni Warhawks and a very hard fight/lose for normal Guard squads. Against Astartes, they'd rely on tactics, teamwork and grenades to try and slow them down before retreating to either armor or Blood Dogs.

Night Lords
Commanders:
"Warmaster" Isadovan "Butcher's Eyes" Cirio
-Commander of Saurus and Varus
-Possessed by Slaaneshi Daemon, Daemon is more allowing than most (lets him have control when in battle or negotiations)
-Is more prone to hire out part of his warband to other chaos forces for excessive payments of materials or flesh.
-Isadovan is a Nostromo born possessed Astartes. He followed a very standard path to becoming a Captain, unlike his two underlings. He excels at ship to ship combat, logistics, planning, and personnel management which is why he has been allowed to stay in power. Greed overtook him at some point and turned him into a rather shrewd and effective businessman. Isadovan also surrendered his body to a daemon of Slaneesh, but the daemon lets him have control much more frequently than would be expected, mostly when any one of his skills needs to be utilized. The daemon allows this partially because when selling his warbands services he requires a large "flesh" fee, meaning male and female mortals to entertain the daemon's desire for pleasure. His Captains ensure that he doesnt take too much of the fee as flesh and that no harm comes to his most valued "playthings."
Captain Saurus "Void Hunter" Coeurl
-Night Raptor Commander
-Powersword "Raptor's Torment" and Bolt Pistol "Raptor's Relief"
-Weapons named for how they are used. The blade is used to torment and punish enemies while the pistol is used for quick kills and executions
-Saurus is a Nostromo born Astartes. He was one of the few not chosen from the ranks of the gangs. His recruitment happened towards the beginning of the Great Crusade, after Curze was found. He excels at tracking and has an excellent sense of smell and sight. He was promoted to Captain very quickly due to the death of his Captain and the unexlpained deaths of his comrades who were next in line. His rigid adherence to the Legion's teachings made him infamous on the battlefield before and during the Heresy. He values his sanity and power too much to give into the temptations of Chaos and has a distrust and dislike of those who do.
Captain Varus "Dullahan" Vais
-Tactical Squad Commander
-2-handed Powersword "Reaper's Darkness", Bolter "Eye of Night", Bolt Pistol "Midnight"
-Weapons named for the Legion and for the old Terran myth of Dullahans
-Varus is a Nostromo born Astartes. As a young boy he joined a gang and was renown for his tactics, even with how unorganized the gang was. He was quickly promoted to Brother-Sergeant and stayed there for most of the Great Crusade. It was only at the urging of his friend, Saurus, that he allowed himself to be in the pool of candidates to replace his former Captain. Unlike most Astartes, Varus puts a large value on mortal life, referring to them as serfs instead of slaves. He knows that without them nothing is possible and is willing to go to great lengths to protect the human members of the warband from avoidable harm. However that doesnt mean he will overlook punishment, which is quick and painless when compared to other members of the warband. He is an expert tactician, swordsman, and marksman which causes some of his fellow Legionaires to support him taking over Isadovan's spot as leader. However, Varus has no desire to lead the warband. He is content handling the tactics and operations. He is also distrustful of those who have given into chaos, although he has no problem using them tactically to secure victory.
Squads:
Sergeant Vaco Challin
-Sergeant of 2nd Claw "Night Terrors"
-Chainsword, Bolter, Plasma Pistol
Thats about as much as I really need to do. The Non-Astartes arent guranteed to be included. This is a list of possible characters so I do not forget. The Terminators may be mentioned but WILL NOT be present at Acreage

Omega Watch 2nd Battle Company SO&E
Omega Watch is a mostly Codex Astartes Compliant Fleet Based Chapter, except for different naming conventions, and slightly modified equipment lists
The following lists the Company squad designations, important members of the Squads, as well as their normal weapon loadout.
All Omega Watch Astartes carry a Parma, which is a circular shield carried on the left gauntlet that is normally made out of molecular bonded materials. In the case of sergeants or higher ranks the Parma is upgraded to the level of Combat Shield. This combined with the Corvus Armour style of shoulder plate made out of molecular bonding studs that is used on all Omega Watch Armour types is due to the fact that the chapter has been assigned to guard a Sector that faces significant Xeno and Chaos attacks. As such they are usually deployed to defend a planet under invasion, or one that has already fallen to the enemy. Also it is not uncommon for these Astartes to board enemy ships or repel borders form Imperial space assets. Consequently The Chapter faces extremely heavy fire on a regular basis.
Unless otherwise stated the 2nd Company uses Mark 7 Aquila Armour for Tactical, and Devastator and while the Assault Squads use Mark 6 Armour.

sorry for the massive list lol originally i was going to completly fill it in but this way i can change things up and add different names and equipment as needed, also feedback welcome on the equipmetn used
Also forgot to say name of the Strike cruiser Tiber, captain name is Ramus. yes they are mostly all Latin or greek names i figured itd fit in with the whole roman legion theme.
We should also come up with IDs for the Guard forces in the first drop as well

Thats why my list is huge too haha. And are we talking squad, platoon, company, or larger designations? And does anyone know what it would end up being? Like I know we (meaning US forces) have like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and so on for designations. I have no idea what Guardsmen would have

Post by delta1138 on Jan 4, 2014 11:28:51 GMT 10
Depends on the guard regiment. Standard is 10 man squads usually between2-6 in a platoon, plus a half squad for command squad, a company has 3-6 platoons and can be from 3-20 companies for a regiment tho most of the ones I've read about had 5 or companies to a regiment

Post by delta1138 on Jan 4, 2014 11:40:54 GMT 10
Naming of squads platoons ect is numbers eg 1st squad 2nd platoon 4th company. Some regiments used to urban battle split squads into 2 fire teams as well

Guard doesn't need to be done in detail, other than maybe a squad or two. Most of them are going to be pretty faceless. I'd say do a squad of Acreage guardsmen (Say...the 3rd Acreage Fusliers? 3rd Company, 6th squad or some such?) and a squad of Stormtroopers who likely wouldn't be numbered.

True enough works for me. Maybe have one from the drop regiment too

Post by The Mask of the Father on Jan 4, 2014 16:18:22 GMT 10
Jeez Guardsmen are so uninspired in their designations. Anyways I agree with the non-faceless guardsmen. Although we may want a few non-planetary guardsmen to compare opinions with the PDF guys. If thats not a concern then screw it haha

Post by delta1138 on Jan 4, 2014 17:26:16 GMT 10
Ya the guard may be the sledgehammer but there designations do come across as dry
Also about the possible bombing mission later on sometime with fighter escort, this be a perfect place to introduce the fighter squadron as they can be CAS (assuming that's the guard designation for it) for the drop group

Go for it. One off characters can and should be listed as well, in case you want to use them later.
As for Guardsmen being bland, that is kind of their point. They are the filler around the edges of the spotlight that is your named characters. They can be whatever you need, from the one Guardsman with a Grenade Launcher who takes out a tank and saves your Astartes and is never heard from again to the squad that gets within arms reach of Lord Rizos and is reduced to a fine paste. Same goes for cultists.

My RG are too good to be saved by mortals haha. But yeah I get what you mean. As long as we dont use the named characters we can use as many faceless guardsmen for anything we could possibly dream up
