No such career as Pilot, two psykers per team are sure way to get cell eaten by beings of the warp, and Tech-Priests are damm cool.
Does it answer your question?

Also, there is nothing like "Our cell has too much firepower !"...

Someone good at talking people to death would also be useful. Scum, maybe ? A Cleric ? Y'know, Tech-Priests aren't too communicative.

For now we've got a Guardsman, an Assassin, an Outcast, a Psyker and a Tech-Priest, as far as I remember. Three guys to shoot and two to support, no party leader at all.

One guy to shoot them lots, one guy to shoot them once but proper, one guy to shoot them in the back, a Weirdboy, and a Mekboy.

Besides, the inquisitor's in charge, isn't she?

Now this might be handy...

Perhaps I might aid you my brothers, as a cleric?

Well brothers, give one more day, I had a "framework" for the tech-priest, now I will have to adapt to a new role.

So when's this game getting off the ground? I want to fry some warp ass already! D:

Also, why is it that the Imperium uses such a stupid method to travel faster than light? It sounds like it only works 10% of the time :S

There's no other method, and due to The Dark Age of Technology, it's hard to invent something new now. People don't know how does technology work... With an exception of Adeptus Mechanicus.
Also, there are really not many crafts equipped with a Warp Drive, and due to accidents happening this number rapidly decreases. Am I right ?

Finish this and we may exchange places, if you want. But in fact, I'm not an experienced GM... I shall observe and learn, but don't expect wonders, aye ?

Nope. She has around a hundred cells under her management... And, yeah, you don't want those deus ex machina thingies while playing, do you ?

Well, I'm sure the inquisitor can appoint someone to be in charge of the op once she meets our sorry bunch.
And on the note of warp-travel: sure, it is a hazardous means of transport, slow as well and definitely uncertain. But it is also the only actual method available to Humanity that works *at all*. The same goes for long-range communications via astropaths. It might suck, but it's the best thing we have.

And now for something completely different:

We shall begin as soon as all characters and stories are in place.
I remind you, I am not an experienced GM, be disillusioned.
About being in charge- I am yet to decide who will be pack Prime.

Okay then, one thing remaining- DIVINATIONS! They were not rolled, they are going to have a meaning- in the darkness, follow the Imperial Tarot!

Generic- "Men must die, so that Man endures"
Silharriel- "Truth is subjective"
Pass- "Sins hidden in the heart turn all to decay"
Tobias Halsted- "To war is human"
Lazerus- "Kill the alien before it can speak its lies"

Sounds cool. I'm assuming we still get the mechanical benefit of those?
