To Pay The Tithe - A Warhammer 40k Quest

Decided to try and create a Imperial Guard Regiment. Using the Only War core rule book, so it may not translate well into this quest.
The 60th Katega "Rusty Gears" Recon
Name of Homeworld: Katega II
World type: Fortress World
Regiment Type: Reconnaissance Regiment
Characteristic Modifiers: +3 Ballistic Skill, +3 Perception
Skills: Common Lore (War, Imperium, Imperial Guard), Linguistic (Low Gothic), Awareness
Talents: Resistance (Fear), Combat Sense, Combat Formation
Commanding Officer: Maverick
Training Doctrine: Close Order Drills
Special Equipment Doctrine: Scavengers
Kit: One Sentinel Scout Walker or a Chimera Armored Transport, one set of magnoculars (per player character?), One uniform, One set of poor weather gear, One lascarbine (Main Weapon), and two charge packs, One stub revolver and 12 bullets as a sidearm, One knife, One flak vest, One rucksack or sling bag, One set of basic tools, One mess kit and one water canteen, One blanket and one sleep bag, One rechargeable lamp pack, One grooming kit, One set of cognomen tags or equivalent identification, One primer or instructional handbook, Combat sustenance rations, two weeks' supply, a pict recorder, and a chrono.
Favored Weapons: Plasma Gun, Heavy Flamer.

It's a little sloppy all things considered, but I hope it gets the overall picture across.
 
Ah, that's a surprise to wake up to. My bad on the borked vote tally. I'll reopen voting for another day or two and see where we land.

  • [X] Plan: Metal and Mettle
    -[X] The Soaring Firebrand - (2) In the days that follow the battle a figure begins to rise like a new star among the 122nd. Squire Kali, bearing proof of nine foes slain, and with a Knight to speak for her rises first to the title of First Vale. Newly ascended to Knighthood she turns to one among the witnesses and demands a duel. All witnesses are stunned as she nearly dismantles the far more experienced Knight to claim her place among the Second Vales...
    -[X] Theft or Advancement? - (2) Bloodforging. A process considered sacred to the Valesmiths. An act akin to worship to the warriors of Caledonia. For centuries it has been something closely guarded with details passed down from master to apprentice as any tome describing the methods are stored in the deepest, most secure vaults of the Hermitages. So... One should understand why when reports begin to come in of Valesmiths clashing with the Mechanicus.
    -[X] Cavalry to Cavalry - (1) In the aftermath the Ulric First and the 122nd start to form a fairly close relationship, beyond merely standard comradery it is a growing respect for each other born from being one cavalryman to another. While comparing a steed of mandibles and chitin to one of grav-plates and flaming jets might leave little in common the experiences of charging headlong into the heart of the enemy never will. Each week brings yet more sights of members of both sitting side by side nursing whatever drinks they can get their hands on.

Newly ascended to Knighthood she turns to one among the witnesses and demands a duel.

    -[X] Renewed Hope - (2) A name begins to join the war cries of the heretics the 122nd encounters. "For Lord Nil!" they cry out as outnumbered and outgunned groups cling desperately to their Holdfasts, traitors turned unbreakable zealots over night. Left in the dark about how or why this change came about all the 122nd can do is fight on meeting zealotry with blade and mandible.
    -[X] Radiant Flame - (1) As a fortress world crucial to the Imperium and a supply point for the ever voracious Indomitus Crusade the Ecclesiarchy has paid special attention to the faith of its people. While this in the end failed they have other means by which to right the lapse of faith. Clad in slabs of ceramite adorned in gold and black, the Sisters arrive in muted silence and in the days that follow their arrival the sounds of the enemy being devoured by in gold and red flame echo through the tunnels below.

    -[X] Peaceful Days - (1) The months that follow the capture of Fortress Complex Seven are remarkably peaceful ones filled with only the lightest of skirmishes even as the 122nd push ever deeper into the expansive tunnel networks dug out beneath the planet's surface. While this has meant few casualties for the enemy it has also meant few for the 122nd and time to train. Drills are started up again. Classes are renewed. Strange and unfamiliar as they are the equipment provided by the Munitorum will revolutionize Caledonian warfare if they can but accept it.

Alright, we'll call the vote here with Metal and Mettle winning.
