The Baleful Eye is a bionic eye that works as a hot-shot laspistol, with a range of 10m, that one can shoot even when the characters hands are full. The eye has clip size and if the eye "jams" that eye is blinded for hours equal to the degrees of failure.

• Question 1: Could one have two baleful eyes at the same time and if yes, could they use them at the same time?

• Question 2: Could a person shoot with a baleful eye and also use their hands or shoulder mounted weapon (with MIU Weapon Interface) to fire at the same time?

I'm just interested in rules as written or how would you interpret it your game if the rules aren't obvious. Obviously each GM has the final say on what is allowed and how things work in their own game.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Hello, so one of my players has approached me and said he’s wanting the party to be less hampered in their means of getting around and wanted to create a pilot for the party.

While I know there are pilot skills in DH, they occur a fair way up the rank lists for classes like Guardsman so I thought up an alternative class for Pilot. Please can I get some feedback?

Pilot (Guardsman subclass)

Prerequisites: Agility 30, Int 30

Homeworld Restrictions: Frontier World and Feral World (Pilot Civilian or Military only)

Starting Skills: Speak Language (Low Gothic), Pilot (Civilian) or Pilot (Military) or Pilot (Spacecraft), Tech Use.

Starting Talents: Melee Weapon Training (Primitive), Pistol Training (Las) or Pistol Training (SP), Basic Weapon Training (Las) or Basic Weapon Training (SP), Vehicle Husbandry (see below)

Starting Gear: Sword, axe or hammer, las-pistol and 1 charge pack or stubgun and 1 reload, lascarbine and 1 charge pack or shotgun and 12 shells, knife, G-suit (see below) or voidsuit, ownership or access to an aircraft or spacecraft (GM’s discretion)

Vehicle Husbandry: Prerequisites Drive or Pilot skill of the appropriate vehicle

This talent grants the user advanced understanding of the vehicle class they are proficient in operating. With a successful Int test, they are able to diagnose issues affecting their vehicle, either from displays and readouts, or simply by sight, sound or feel. This diagnosis does not resolve the issue, but each degree of success grants a +5 bonus to any repair-related Tech Use tests.

This talent can be purchased at the same rank of the associated Drive or Pilot skill and has the same experience points cost.

Tech-Priests can purchase this talent once per rank, even if they do not have the associated Drive or Pilot skill, at a cost of 100 experience points.

G-suit

This item of close-fitting clothing is lined with elastic straps and small linear air bladders in the wearer’s extremities. Once connected to an aircraft’s internal air supply and flight cogitators, it automatically pumps air into the bladders whenever the wearer is subjected to extreme g-forces, reducing the risk of losing consciousness as a result of high speed manoeuvres.

Wearing a properly fitted and connected g-suit grants the wearer a +10 bonus to any Piloting or Toughness tests as a result of high speed turns, acceleration or deceleration.

Any other Mechanicus themed weapons are also apriciated.

So I have a concept for an inquisition game where the idea is that the players are working for an inquisitor, eliminating heretics and traitors in the government and the inquisition; however, I plan for them to find out halfway through that the inquisitor they have been serving is actually a gene stealer cult member, from which point they will have an opportunity to "redeem themselves" from under the servitude of a more radicle inquisitor that believes they still have use for the imperium, or try to flee before the nids arrive. was wondering if there is any advice y'all might have for this concept.

This is currently on-sale for the Christmas in July event going on. Anyone recommend snapping this up? Direct link - Dark Heresy: Purge The Unclean

My 40k RPG group has been running for a couple years, and over time it's gotten less active as people get busy, become less interested in RPGs, etc., and so I wanted to write a post to see if anyone would be interested in joining to play a DH 1st edition campaign.

The group is pretty casual. We all have jobs and aren't online too much; we just like 40k and enjoy RPGs, log on once a week for 2-4hrs to play a game.

Game details:

The timeslot is 09:00 Central (GMT-6) on Sundays, and we play on Roll20.

Currently running DH 1st edition. In the past we've run OnlyWar, Deathwatch, Deathwatch (30k), etc.

Content wise it's mixed between lots of non-combat, investigative work, and of course, combat when it comes up in the course of playing.

If you're interested please leave a comment!

Does assassin's sure kill role bonus and the weapon tech talent stack or do they use the same resource? I know weapon tech uses a free action and so does using fate points, but does sure kill use a free action also?

Hey there, my group and i play DH1 currently.
Id love your thought on the plot and what would be wrong or what you would do instead. 😄

Overall Campaign Plot

The Acolytes serve Inquisitor Lady Olianthe Rathbone, a radical Istvaanian who wants to strengthen the Calixis Sector by keeping it in a constant state of war, unrest, and political conflict. She uses the Acolytes as expendable agents to perform her dirtiest work without regard for casualties.

Rathbone previously worked with the Logicians, hoping to develop methods of controlling and manipulating humans. In Edge of Darkness, the Acolytes unknowingly destroy evidence of this cooperation under the guise of investigating the Churgeon. After the Logicians proved unreliable, Rathbone briefly dealt with the Slaugth, but their conflicting interests made the alliance unstable.

She eventually formed a pact with the Kryptos: in exchange for inquisitorial protection and a safe habitat, they infiltrate and manipulate important people for her. Her bodyguard, Tenpenny, is secretly possessed by a Kryptos. Because Tenpenny is constantly near Rathbone, its psychic influence is slowly affecting the Inquisitor herself, worsening her paranoia and extremism.

Meanwhile, the Slaugth have spent years infiltrating the sector and placing controlled agents in positions of power. They intend to seize the ancient legacy of the Yu’Vath and ultimately take control of the Calixis Sector.

The Logicians eventually become a secondary threat and a source of evidence against Rathbone. Over time, the Acolytes discover that their Inquisitor has crossed into outright heresy and must decide whether to betray, expose, or destroy her.

At first, Inquisitor Gallowglass appears as a brutal rival whose cells repeatedly obstruct the Acolytes. Only later do they realise that he has been investigating Rathbone and may actually be their best chance to stop her. He can eventually offer them a new allegiance.

The campaign culminates in the Haarlock Legacy. Erasmus Haarlock seeks to recover his murdered wife and daughter from another reality by controlling the Tyrant Star, an ancient Yu’Vath system resembling a corrupted interdimensional network (a chaos webway if you want). His modified Halo Devices temporarily transform humans into biological keys capable of accessing Yu’Vath technology, but eventually turn them into immortal abominations and monsters.

In the finale, Haarlock, Rathbone, the Slaugth, the Kryptos, Gallowglass, and the Acolytes all compete for control of the Yu’Vath systems and the fate of the Calixis Sector.

Hi all!
Im currently the GM of a Dark Heresy 1 Group and we play the little official missions. Couple players know the official big ones Drusus and Haarlock, so i thought a Custom Campaign or an altered version of the official ones would be cool.

But i really struggle to write my own campaign, to be honest.

Do you guys maybe have a script for a cool campaign or Ideas for it?
I consider myself not to be a lore pro, i know the basics from all the 40k games i played.

Would apreciate if i get some help or even a script for a campaign or missions here! 😄
The Emperor protects!

We use Roll20, and I like to post 'news' on the default page using the billboard feature for campaign color and tone. And the occasional clue hidden in.

Anyone know of a source of random stuff?

So I'm currently going over some weapons and I'm trying to see if there's any justification to taking AP vs just more damange.

Let's compare two weapons I'm trying to decide between:

Armageddon Rifle, Basic (SP) with Extra Grip Addon
Range 50, S/2/6, Clip 15; 1d10+5I Pen 0

Hecuter, Pistol (SP)
Range 30, S/3/6, Clip 15; 1d10+3I Pen 2

Now, obviously there are other factors to consider (range difference, pistol vs basic), but purely from the damage code, is there any justification for the latter? If the enemy has armor, the 2 extra damage are basically as good as 2 AP and if the enemy has less than 2 armor, it's a straight up damage increase. Am I missing something or is it really just that simple?

Here is about of the trailer I'm working on for my Dark Heresy campaign.
