 The only thing I really want to see in the book:

 

Commisar's get +10% BS to shooting people in the back.

Looted Void Kraken? Sound like fun!

I'm hoping for squad tactics, abilities that work only with your other squad members around.  I think this can add a better group dynamic then with Space Marines.

Purge the Unclean.... with new and improved Scrubbing Bubbles!!!

Baneblades...

In all seriousness I'd like to play a commissar ...with a baneblade.

If brute force don't solve your problem you aren't using enough.

Abhumans.  I want to be able to play as an Ogryn, a Ratling, or even a Gland War veteran.

There are no female Space Marines. Don't believe me?

Gender & Appearance
Due to the special nature of the zygotes that make up a Space Marine's geneseed, all Space Marines are male.

So enough with the Female Marine threads…

My previous post is in the wrong thread. Sorry. But everything I wrote is still awesome.

 someone get the Commissar ready, 'cuz I'm probably gonna get shot over this one: a completely different rules engine. I hate percentile dice. Love math, but not that much in an RPG. Gimme something like cubicle 7's LotR game, or something Cortex-y like the Marvel game, more narrative rules. Or even just WHFRP 3rd for 40K. But cheaper.

I won't have a cigarette before my execution, but I will take a swig of the Commissar's finest, if it's all the same.

I keep track of my campaigns on obsidian portal, some more than others… same screen name if you're interested in hunting down the game logs etc

Apologies to anyone before hand if this sounds too sceptical.

I want it to be different enough from the previous games to justify it being its own game instead of a supplement.

also deadly, very very deadly.

British tanks, and by extension the tanks of the Imperium of the God Emperor of Mankind, are all fitted with a 'Boiling Vessel', an urn run off the vehicles electrics for the purpose of making tea.

 To amplify, to run a tank game, I'd cast the PCs as the vehicle commanders in a tank platoon/troop.

Everyone gets their own tank. You start off with a stock Leman Russ, and generate the skills of your crew - gunner, loader, driver, sponson gunners. Tank experience can be spent on upgrading crew skills or on upgrades to your tank. Plasma guns, hunter-killer missiles, improved sights, vanquisher cannons, supercharged engines, extra armour etc. And you can purchase better tanks. Which is where the baneblades come in.
