40K Hero

[tiger]

Working on a campaign using the Warhammer 40K Universe.

Right now the characters are a squad of Imperial Guard Catachans. Their assigned to Black Company of the Catachan 128th. 129th gets the worst assignments and Black Company gets the worst of them.

Still working on getting everything fleshed out as we go. Have had to rework the weapons a couple times. Trying to get the "feel" of 40K, but payable at the same time.

An ongoing process to say the least, but we having a good time.

[Old Man]

Are you sure you want to go this route? The 40k universe has more than just constant fighting. If you place the players in a military unit then your options are pretty limited as far as the adventures you can put them through.

I would highly recommend the Necromunda setting instead. That way you can run pretty much the full bang of adventure types while remaining in genre. More of a flexibility thing as far as player options go.

[Old Man]

Oh yeah, it would be pretty cool to see your versions of weapons and armor converted to Hero. Please post a link or something.

[tiger]

Actually the idea from the start was a squad based campaign. It's grown into other ideas as well.

Squad based, Rogue trader style, Necrumunda. The idea of a Star Hero campaign in the 40K universe has also been mentioned. Basically have adventurers in that setting

So far it's working pretty well. Still getting the bugs worked out of the weapon stats and start working on vehicles.

[Old Man]

At least you have no shortage of source material...

[Tyrant]

You might want to take a look at the inquisitor game.
It's got a lot good info to steer you in the right direction.
It's got template for space marines, imperial guardsmen, inquisitors and a number of other playable characters. Not to mention laods of story ideas.

Let us know how your game progresses.

I got asked by some of my players to run a game set in the 40K universe a while back - just a one-off, root-out-the-evil-cult-and-punish-the-impious
deal.

I converted all the weapons and armour and a variety of nifty widgets from the Inquisitor books, but kept to the 40K rules as closely as possible.

If there is interest, I can whip up a couple of quickie illustrations and turn the word documents into webpages.

But be warned - adhering to the 40K rules means that some of the weapons are ridiculously lethal :-)

cheers, Mark

Mark! Do it do it do it!!

Immediately, of not sooner, please!!!

I've always wanted to run a 'major plotline' in a Champions campaign that consisted of a Warp-lost Space Marine chapter showing up in the Pacific Ocean...

Here's the "old" stats. I'm in the r=process of changing a few things so they will change. We were working on the concept of autokills in 40K being NNDs. This turned out to be quite overpowering in play so I'm re working again

What are the stats for a Space Marine?

(Note: I read the Patriarchs as being comparable to Hero supers.)

Haven't worked them up yet. Players are IG. Haven't met Choas marines either. So far Necrons, killed all but 2 party memebers, Cultists and Tyranids.

Play on working up stats for all races as we go. Might start a second group of characters as a marine squad. Only time will tell.

[Markdoc]

OK.

It's up.

have fun.

As for Space Marines, they are described as being "the ultimate" in human development, but in practice, are only a little tougher than Imperial Guard, who are after all, just the scum of the galaxy. I initially gave them 20 in all their physical stat.s but that's just an insane amount of points, for a "heroic" level game, so toned the "starting" space marine down to 15's across the board (that doesn't sound like much but it means they are twice as fast, twice as tough, etc as a normal adult in prime condition. Add in the acid spit, black carapace, reinforced skeleton, nifty sense, etc, and they can kick butt even without all their cool gear.

I have the stat.s, so can post them if there is any interest.

cheers, Mark

[bloomann]

i've been working on an Epic Chaos (invasion) campaign for a four color champions universe and well the four main demons are pretty tough. I've just written up power frame works and still have trouble working out things like "nurgul's rot" (which i consider a major cumulative transform) or the very insidous soul tainting aspects whenever a mrtal comes into contact with one of these creatures. I'll try to put point values on all this and post it because I love this universe too.
BTW would you consider Eldar as actively faster (6 to 8 spd high dex) than normal humains or is that just me? :confused:

[tiger]

Hey

I just glanced and the stats, haven't had a chance to do more.

2 things
1) The Tyranid weapons would vary creature to creature. A venom cannon on a tyrant would be strong than on a warrior.

Also
2)Would it be possible to get a copy of the data for offline viewing?

It be easier to look over than online at work:)

Beautifully done. I can't wait to peruse this at length... I, too, would love an offline version...

I know of at least one thing that will be different for my campaign than the one you have worked up.

I'm actually working on converting 2nd edition 40K to Hero. I play 3rd with some friends but we started in 2nd and prefer it over 3rd. So this is the style off campaign were running.

I do like the work you've done, it looks nice and seems quite playable. This is why I would like a copy, I think it would help my conversion to or 2nd.

Do you anticipate that the 2nd Edition Conversion (I agree with your assessment btw) will result in higher Character Points costs across the board? Or Just equipment?

[tiger]

I think weaons and equipment wi;; be the major chance. Although some races and such might be a bit different

I can imagine (Eldar especially)... I look forward to seeing the results.

It's a slow progression. We're playtesting as we go so it will be a bit. OF course after I get the Imperial weapons working well, the rest will fall in rather easily.

I plan on doing Dark Eldar and Tao as well sooner or later. I'll just base them on existing 2nd weapons that are close and go from their. The Dark eldar will be easy, most are close to Eldar weapons. The Tao will be little trickier, but it shouldn't be to hard. After that I plan on slowly working up each races squads and vehicles.

While I'm mainly doing IG squads at the moment I plan on others as an option. I'll be doing guidelines for Space Marine squads as well.

Just have to see how things go.

I had the same problem when doing conversions. In the end, I decided it was more "superheroic" to give them 20s. Though I realized that if I wanted to make them closer to how they worked in the game, they'd have something like 13 to 15s. It's all a matter of preference.

[tiger]

Well I figure that marines would start with a base of 15. If for no other reason than giving others a change :)

I have gone with a approach of trying to keep stats and weapons a "ungross" as possible.Of course when I get deep into the true write-ups it may be another matter entirely.

I have the weapons damage down(I think), just have to balance it against the armor and the vehicles in the game.
I have worked up most of the weapons fro 2nd with good armor pen., Las Cannon, Assualt ect., with damage against vehicles. This allowed them to be able to take out vehicles but still give people a chance.

It's worked well so far. The playtesting group are converts from AD&D. So the fact that you tend to get KO'd is a bit new to them.

Over the next few months I plan on getting all the races weapons worked up and stats for most of the different troops and such.

I'm gonna work up Tao and Dark Eldar for it. Plan on baseing their weapons off 2nd equilavants. On down the road I also plan on doing the weapons and armor or 3rd. So a person could do a update campaign if they want. The weapons have changed so they would have different stats.

A couple of things:

1) What's the Side Effect on the Plasma weapons? And if it's what I think it is, wouldn't that probably be better reflected by some combination of Boostable Charges and Jamming?
2) I made everything with "heavy" in the damage line a two-handed weapon, every pistol a one-handed weapon, and everything else one-and-a-half-handed. Is that right?
3) Anybody got any idea on the weights for these? What about weapon BODY and DEF?

WH40KImpSmallArms.hdp (http://castle-walls.org/hero/others/alhazred/WH40KImpSmallArms.hdp)

[teh bunneh]

Plasma weapons explode if they misfire, seriously burning (or killing) the user.

Multimeltas are heavy weapons.

Other than that, looks good. :thumbup:

[AlHazred]

Okay. That might be more than a Major Side Effect, then.

Nice catch on the Multimelta. I've updated the prefab.

And this is all thanks to Markdoc. I don't know if I'd have had the patience to actually convert all these; putting them into HD is a different story.

[Egyptoid]

you are the man, weapons look great.

what is the Hero Armor value gonna look like?
4OK armor 10: minor shield or sentry gun
4OK armor 12: light tank
4OK armor 14: heavy tank
4OK armor 16: major installation

on guns, if we are completists, work in the:
Sniper Rifle
Grenade Launcher
Heavy Webber (& web pistol) :D

[AlHazred]

Well, the Sniper Rifle and Grenade Launcher are already in there. The Heavy Webber and Web Pistol might be in Markdoc's Exotic Weapons section.

[AlHazred]

Looking over Markdoc's site, I see he lists Space Marine Armour (presumably the latest version, so Mark 7 in the new 40K continuum) as 9 DEF. Nice to know I nailed that one. He lists the Terminator Armour as 12 DEF and +10 STR. Should I increase it in the prefab? Again, I'm going by what's written in the "fluff" articles.

And the Web Pistol is in the Exotic Weapons section (next on my list). How do the Heavy Webber's stats compare to it?

[blackpaladin]

MarcDoc -

Are you able to post the stats for the Space Marines you talked about earlier in this thread?

Blackpaladin.

[Brother Jim]

if i remember right from 2nd ed the nemesis force halberd has a storm bolter, not a bolt pistol.


of course, nothing says you can't have both options in your list.

[BNakagawa]

A friend of mine keeps joking about running a RPG campaign set in the 40K universe and I keep joking that my character will have max DEX, lightning reflexes, fast draw and the first thing I will do is draw my gun and blow my head off.

"I WIN!"

[AlHazred]

To be fair, while there's some interesting roleplaying to do in the 40K universe, I don't think I'd care to play a space marine. Too much of my character's actions would be predicated by events. On the other hand, someone suggested the Rogue Trader game as a good way to roleplay in the 40K universe, without straightjacketing players into predefined roles...

[Roy_The_Ruthles]

most of the players i know would rather play chaos than regular marines

[shadow_walker]

most of the players i know would rather play chaos than regular marines

Chaos is strong,

[shadowcat1313]

I've also done some conversion work on heavy and vehicle weapons, heres my take on things

[Curufea]

I'd make Boltguns armour piercing

[AlHazred]

I'd make Boltguns armour piercing
Looking over Markdoc's list, I see the only weapon he gave Armor Piercing to is the Meltagun and Multi Melta. Considering their apparent effects, it might be better to make those guns Penetrating, and add AP to a few of the others. Markdoc's design is listed on this page (http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/markdoc/Inquisitor/inquistor_weapons.htm), where he says, "Every point of AP gave either +1 DC or +1 Stun Mod. So a Bolter (basic of 4 DC) has 2 points of AP, giving it 5 DC and +1 Stun Mod, for a final damage of 1 1/2 d6, +1 Stun Mod."

Oh, and looking it over, I see I made an error on the Imperial Small Arms; I failed to put Extra Time (Full Phase) and Bulky on the heavy weapons. I'll update them and then upload the file. You should re-download for the latest version. Give me a few minutes.

[Curufea]

Bumping an onder thread here - Anyone know of any conversions for Tyranids?
I'm planning on having them invade my fantasy campaign world, you see :)

Mainly because all my miniatures are nicely painted and I want to use them for something :)

[BNakagawa]

Based on the text descriptions and game mechanics:

Eldar (guardians) are not much faster than humans. Harlequins - eww.

Bolters are not armor piercing, but I would build them as Nd6 killing with an additional d6 or two that kick in only if the base damage inflicts body damage. (exploding shells, essentially super-dum dums)

There is an article about Bolt Guns having various ammo loads - not sure where to find it though. Probably in the Compendium or Compilation.

Standard loads are described as being armor piercing, explosive.

While you're at it, you might as well start doing work on other fun stuff like Shuriken Catapults too (but please dear god use the old stats where they were about the same as Bolt Guns but higher RoF).
