Brencon 2010 - Warhammer 40K Event (Saturday)

Post by Vardaen » Thu Feb 11, 2010 2:01 am

You are not worthy to bear the mantle of the Adeptus Astartes anymore. You have failed your Chapter, but you wish to still serve the Imperium? Then to the Deathwatch with you Space Marine! The Inquisition can use your body for one last final suicide mission. Succede and prove you are worthy to be buried along with your kinsmen. Fail and no one will be surprised!

Inquisitor Zerbe has asked for a team of Space Marines from the Deathwatch to investigate a derilict Space Hulk that has just returned from centuries of being lost to the Warp. Care to volunteer?

Running on the Saturday of Brencon 2010, a never before Warhammer 40K event will be hosted by Inqusitor Vardaen and Inqusitor jigglepuff69. We are looking for a team of 4 to 6 folks who want to take on the roles of Space Marines of the Deathwatch for a critical suicide mission for the Inquisition.

This event will ICly tie directly in to the Warhammer 40K Dark Heresy game being run in the Misc Game section of the site, but you need not be a player of that game to join. Your actions here can greatly effect the Acolytes of that game for good or ill depending on your success or failure.

This will be a strong miniature based event, with models made by the JP69 Master Mini Making Man! You might just walk off with your own mini as well! The characters will be pre-generated for you, but will encompass all the kick ass stuff of Space Marines (heavy bolters, flamers, power armor, chain swords, and more...). The rule set will use the Dark Heresy rules, but you need not have the books as everything you'll need will be provided to you to play.

From the team that brought you the first BrenCrawl, now comes something new and glorious!

Seats will fill up fast, so please let us know if you are interested in this. This will likely run the whole day Saturday so its unlikely you'll have time to do this and the BrenCrawl.

All six minis are assembled and ready for Vardaen's inspection! Bits and pieces of the rooms are being assembled!

The theme is Deathwatch vs Space Orks!!! These green bastards have stolen a ship of the Imperium and are using it as a slave vessel. But something or someone on that ship needs retrieving... Can you do it for the Golden Throne? Will you stand next to the God Emperor in your next life? Only your faith will be able to carry you to that answer...

Alrighty Hayabusa, I'll mark you down as our first entry.

We'll be getting information set up for download once things move a bit closer so folks can look at the rules, and check over the character options and the like.

Tet's right this will be so awesome!

I want my heavy bolter and flamethrower now.

We have two characters that will have those!

1. Tech Marine with a Flamer pistol
2. Sister of Battle with Heavy Bolter

Other selections are:

3. Apothecary with Needle Pistol
4. Jump Pack Marine with Bolt pistol/Chain Sword Combo
5. Sgt with Power Mace/Plasma Pistol
6. Heavy with Missle Launcher

Those are the six that will be pre-generated characters. They have other equipment unique to each fig, grenades, auspex, sidearmes, melee, etc... Like V said, the downloads for them will come out soon and people can start picking. Does Hayabusa get 1st pick for being the first confirmed player?

I don't see why he shouldn't get first pick!

Once we get some more time information will be forth coming.

Anyone with "special" access can of course go grab the Warhammer 40K stuff. Including the Dark Heresy Core Book.pdf, and the WH40K - Dark Heresy Adeptus Astartes.pdf

Needed to add this, as well. Here's the site for information on the Deathwatch itself. It's not a Chapter of Marines, but a gathering of handpicked Marines for Inquisitorial duties. Kind of like the Lend/Lease program!
