<p>For a bit of background: I'm coming here, mostly, from Dan Abnetts Fiction, especially the Gaunts Ghosts, Eisenhorn and Ravenor series, but also stuff like Brothers of the Snake or Horus Heresy. I also like various 40k comics (especially when written by, surprise, Dan Abnett), computer games and, well, I own and have read the core book of the tabletop, although I'm more of a Warmachine/Mechaton-kinda guy. (Although my first TT game was Epic 40k. God, that's long ago...) I also don't like the WFRP rules.</p> | <p>For a bit of background: I'm coming here, mostly, from Dan Abnetts Fiction, especially the Gaunts Ghosts, Eisenhorn and Ravenor series, but also stuff like Brothers of the Snake or Horus Heresy.

<p>Pre-stat a bunch of 40k Stuff - Describing various things we see in 40k in WT terms doesn't seem too hard. Weapons are pretty easy: Lasguns of various sorts seem to be about as effective as various modern day guns, so a Laspistol might have Width in Shock+Killing, a Lasrifle Width+2 with a few levels of Spray and/or Penetration, Flamers and various Plasma weapons would have Burn and big damage and so on.</p> | <p>Pre-stat a bunch of 40k Stuff - Describing various things we see in 40k in WT terms doesn't seem too hard.

Orks would get lots of strength, a bunch of Extra Tough levels, maybe a bit of Heavy Armor, the permament Size Shift mentioned on WT Page 111 and I'd have the perverse itch to give them some power based on Second Chance, either representing the fact that they're too dumb to die or the next generation of Orks that grew from their spores. (But then I'm wierd.) Tau scream for many Foki to represent Battle Armor and High Tech Gadgetry, as do Adepts of the Machine God. (Who are also the perfect fit for the Gadgeteer power.) Psykers could be statted with things like Telepathy, Harm, Precognition, Telekinesis and Ghost, adding a few defects/intrinsics to represent the danger of posession and other nasties. |
