In other words, I can use my position as GM to bribe my players into playing Warhammer with me, and I get a good reason to build an Imperial Guard and Chaos army. What's more, we can fight out battles they were involved in in Warhammer, and hell, I can give my players experience points for doing it. So it occurred to me: why not build a Warhammer Imperial Guard army based on those units? We can even have specific models for those of our player characters who fought there. Eventually, he threw his lot in with Chaos, and Imperial forces invaded Derbe and restored order.īecause several of our player characters have backgrounds that involve the Ignatian Rebellion, we've actually detailed several units that fought there. One of the major events in its recent past, which makes an appearance in several characters' back stories, is the Ignatian Rebellion, where governor Ignatius Virius of the agri-world of Derbe declared independence from the Imperium.
The campaign is set in the Acheron sector, which I've invented myself and set in the northernmost reaches of Segmentum Obscurus. It's still ongoing, even if the cast of characters has changed somewhat. Back in the summer of 2014, we started a Rogue Trader campaign that I've occasionally blogged about here under the Rogue Trader label.
