War hammer 40 k rp?

What would you think of a game set in the warhammer 40000 universe?

Ivs heard of it ,but I don't know what it is...i do know regular warhammwr though....i think that's be cool ,plus I wanna make a Mr.T dwarf so yeah.

I'm on the opposite end, I had some friends who were into 40k but not regular warhammer, why don't we each start one and read the wiki for the other?

Kay.

So I'm basically just going to go into the imperium of man for this with some links to pages on their enemies

The Imperium of Man is a galaxy-spanning interstellar human empire, the ultimate authority for the majority of the human race in the Milky Way Galaxy in the 41st Millennium AD. It is ruled by the living God who is known as the Emperor of Mankind. However, there are other humanoid species classified as Imperial citizens, mainly mutant offshoots of genetic base-line humans who are known as Abhumans and include such human sub-races as the Ogryns, Ratlings and Squats. The founder and ruler of the Imperium is the god-like Emperor of Mankind, the most powerful human psyker ever born. The Emperor founded the Imperium over 10,000 Terran years ago in the late 30th Millennium during the Unification Wars on Old Earth following the terrible period in human history known as the Age of Strife. The Emperor continues, at least nominally, to rule the Imperium as both its political master and its primary religious figure, though His badly damaged body is interred within the cybernetic life support mechanisms of the arcane device known as the Golden Throne following His mortal wounding during the interstellar civil war known as the Horus Heresy. Because of this terrible fate, the Emperor is incapable of interacting with others on a day-to-day basis and has left the basic governance of His Imperium to the Senatorum Imperialis, an oligarchic ruling council of the most powerful lords and Adepts in the galaxy.

The Imperium of Man is a war-torn empire, teetering on the brink of collapse. For 10,000 Terran years it has been ruled by the deathless Emperor, a being of almost limitless psychic power, to whom thousands of souls are sacrificed daily. The peoples of the Imperium live in a place where daemons are real, mutation is frequent and death is a constant companion. To be alive in the late 41st Millennium is to know that the universe is a terrifying and hostile place. It is a place where you are but one amongst billions and, no matter how heroic your death, you will not be missed. A truly vast domain, the Imperium is spread amongst the many stars of the galaxy. Its territories encompass untold millions of stars and countless more human lives. In its name, terrible wars are fought and desperate sacrifices made, yet even this river of carnage and blood is a small price to pay, for the Imperium is the guardian of Mankind. Were it to pass into nothingness, so too would the human race, destroyed by enemies uncountable, to the braying laughter of the Dark Gods.

Military forces

The imperial guard
The guard is the largest military branch the imperium has, their serve as the main fighting force of the imperium, even the worst units are pretty well disciplined, and the best like cadian shock troops and catachan jungle fighters are really good soldiers. Standard infantry units are given a Lasgun (las guns are basic laser weaponry that are terrible against heavy armor unless focused.) and Flak Armour, and sent into battle. They can comprise small units or can be brought together to form a formidable swarm of men. A regular Imperial Guard infantry squad is composed of 10 soldiers, led by a non-commissioned officer who holds the rank of Sergeant. Often, one of the more experienced troopers of the squad will wield a specialist's weapon to add to his comrades' firepower; be it a Flamer, Sniper Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Plasma Gun or Meltagun. Elite units are usually equipped with  "hot shot" lasguns which are much more effective, better armor and occasionally jetpacks.

If you'd like to learn more about the guard check out this wiki article I skimmed to bring you this

Commissars

Commissars are a generally badass group of non typical soldiers, there is at least one commissar per imperial guard unit, they are authorized to use any means necessary to keep the unit loyal, and the morale up including executing any person or officer they perceive as unfit for duty or treasonous


Adeptus mechanicus

Machine priests are the main engineers of the imperium. They all the best techs and builders in the imperium, they keep the secrets of how to craft some of the imperium's most powerful machines and weapons and unlike the rest of the imperium they do not accept the emperor as god, they instead worship an ambiguous machine god and believe the emperor is more of a herald figure representing his will in the galaxy.

Space marines
They are the best warriors of the imperium, genetically modified and mentally conditioned humans to the point that they know no fear only devotion to their emperor, and while their numbers are much smaller than the imperial guard one of them is easily a match for several squads of standard infantry. They also have much better tech, such a bolt and plasma guns which far exceed lasguns, and power weapons for melee combat. They're also often kind of prickish to humans as they see even the best as a lesser species.


Psykers

Psykers are individuals from any species with the ability to draw power from the warp and channel it into things, but doing so leaves them open to demonic possession... It's basically like the mages from dragon age and the fade. Most psykers are rounded up and disposed of if they aren't strong enough of will to resist demonic possession when using their powers or are unfit for training. Those who are are are trained by the imperium to become sanctioned psykers of which there are a few types, most of them are either astropaths, or fight with the imperial guard as small squads of sanctioned psykers, or a pysker primaris the most powerful psykers of the imperium who are easily as useful as a space marine. There are also librarians who are basically space marine psykers.

Psykers generally learn several lesser powers and an advanced discipline for more info on psykers and psyker disciplines up check the wiki

I just used tv tropes ,however I think ill play as a human as well ,or an Ork....one of two .

I was thinking of restricting it to humans and sanctioned abhumans given that aliens are to be shot on site in fact an imperial guard moto is "Fear the Alien, Hate the Alien, kill the alien", also I find them mor interesting to play as unless you can give a decent reason why an work and human would work together

Weapon specialization: High caliber huge shotgun with a chainsaw bayonet , bolt pistol.

You mean the jungle fighters right?

I don't think shotguns and bullets are a thing anymore because even an extremely high caliber shotgun would be inferior to a Lasgun which is capable of severing a human arm in a single shot. lascarbines would probably be better for a catachan units, or maybe the occasional bolt pistol or hellgun

What's a hellgun

The hellgun is a more powerful Lasgun, just short of a hot shot Lasgun the latter can pierce power armor. Basically the imperium only issues lasguns and Lasgun variations to the guard, because they're cheap to make and concentrated fire will bring down almost anything. (Lasguns are lasers assault rifles than can be fired semi auto or full auto btw) space marines and commissars get the nice stuff like bolters and power weapon,l. Though the guards do something get chainswords

Hellgun it is.
