Introduction
In the grim dark future, there is only war!
At least, thats the underlying theme of the Warhammer 40k universe. In this campaign, however,
youll be fighting a different kind of war. As part of an Inquisitorial Entourage, you fight
constantly to uproot and destroy the three great enemies of the Imperium of Man: Xenos,
Malleus, and Hereticus. That is to say, aliens, daemons, and heretics.
All characters within the campaign must be humans, although you may encounter aliens from
time to time.
Basic character creation works exactly the same as in Savage Worlds in that you start out with
$500 (or Imperial Eagles), One Edge, 5 Attribute points, and 15 Skill points. However, because
characters in the 40k universe are often larger than life, you have the option of taking an
additional Major Hindrance to gain 2 Hindrance points. This is in addition to the required 1
Major and 2 Minor Hindrances that all characters must take (the Hindrance points from these is
already calculated in.
For 2 Hindrance points you can gain a new Edge or raise an Attribute 1 die type. For 1 Hindrance
point you can gain an additional Skill point or double your starting money.
New Skills
Will
This is the skill Psykers use to manifest their warp abilities. It is linked to Spirit.
Knowledge (Astronavigation)
This is the skill used by a ships pilot or Astropath to calculate a course through the Empyrean. It
is linked to Smarts.
New Edges
No character may have more than one Adeptus Edge.
Untouchable (Background)

Requirements: Novice, Arcane Resistance

You are a psychic dead spot in the world, and as such are highly resistant to the powers and
abilities of even the strongest psykers. Everyone within a SBT centered on you gains a +6 to
resist Psyker powers and +6 armor against direct damage from Psyker attacks. Unfortunately the
deadening aura you emit puts everyone you meet on edge. You suffer a -3 to Charisma. A
character with Untouchable may not also take Arcane Background (Psyker) (or vice versa). This
edge replaces Improved Arcane Resistance.
Adeptus Astartes (Background, Adeptus)
Requirements: Novice
You are ranked among the mightiest and most feared of all human warriors: the Space Marines!
Genetically engineered to be the most lethal soldiers the human race has ever seen, the Space
Marines are the Imperiums first, and often last, line of defense. At character creation, you start
with a d8 in Vigor and a d6 in Strength, the Brawny and Fast Healer Edges, and a d6 in Guts. To
compensate for the extreme advantage this gives you over other players (with the equivalent of
30 Experience), you advance only every 10 XP until you reach 100 XP. Of course, you also have
to take orders from your higher ranking battle-brothers, not to mention the Inquisitor.
Brave (Combat)
Requirements: Novice, Spirit d8+
Theres not much out there that fazes you. Your character has +1 Grit.
Take the Hit! (Combat)
Requirements: Novice, Vigor d10+
Characters with this Edge are good at rolling with punches, are lucky, have fate on their side, or
are perhaps just really tough. They add +2 to Soak rolls made to eliminate wounds.
Sucker Punch (Combat)
Requirements: Seasoned, Fighting d8+, Intimidation or Taunt d6+
The character doesnt know the meaning of the words fair fight. If he succeeds in a Test of
Will against an adjacent opponent, the character receives a free Fighting attack. This attack does
not incur a multi-action penalty.
Combat Sense (Combat)
Requirements: Seasoned, Fighting d8+, Notice d8+
This character is adept at fighting and keeping track of multiple foes. Opponents gain no Gang
Up bonus against him.
Dirty Fighter (Combat)
Requirements: Novice, Fighting d8+, Agility d6+, Smarts d6+
You know every trick in the book, and arent afraid to use them all! You gain a +2 on all Smarts
and Agility Tricks during melee combat.
Really Dirty Fighter (Combat)
Requirements: Seasoned, Dirty Fighter
Not only did you write the book, you left a few things out for your own personal use.

You may spend a Benny to automatically get the drop on any one target in melee.
Savant (Professional)
Requirements: Novice, two or more Knowledge skills at d8+
This edge replaces the Scholar Edge from the Savage Worlds Core Book.
Interrogator (Professional)
Requirements: Novice, Smarts d8+, Intimidate d6+, Persuasion d6+
Few people can keep secrets from one such as you, trained by the Inquisition in the fine art of
interrogation. Gain a +2 on all Intimidate and Persuasion rolls. Also, you have +2 to Smarts rolls
to detect when another person is lying.
Adeptus Mechanicus (Professional, Adeptus)
Requirements: Novice, Repair d6+, Knowledge (Computers) d6+
Trained by the Imperial techpriests, you know some small portion of the Machine Gods secrets.
You gain a +2 on Repair rolls and any Knowledge rolls made concerning technology. In addition,
you may be able to call on support from other members of Adeptus Mechanicus.
Adeptus Arbites (Professional, Adeptus)
Requirements: Novice, Investigation d6+, Streetwise d6+
You are a member of the elite Imperial law enforcement corps known as the Adeptus Arbites.
Thanks to years of training and field experience, you gain a +2 on all Investigation and
Streetwise rolls. In addition, you may be able to call on support from other members of the
Arbites.
New Hindrances
Thin Skinned (Major)
Youve never dealt with pain very well. You suffer an extra -1 penalty when wounded (so -2 at
one wound, -3 at two wounds, etc.).
Warped Dreams (Major)
Every night the Warp calls out to you in your dreams, tormenting you terribly. You have one less
Benny because of your constantly tired state.
Slow (Major)
During Initiative, draw two cards and act on the lower one, unless one of them is a Joker (in
which case, lucky you). A Slow character may not also have the Quick Background Edge,
although Level Headed cancels out with this Hindrance.
Timid (Major)
You never really learned how to talk back, and have trouble holding your own in most
conversations, especially with strangers. Take a -2 when rolling for a Test of Will (Intimidate,
Taunt, Persuasion).
Grim Servant o Death (Major)
As described in the Deadlands: Reloaded sourcebook.

Heartless (Minor)
You may not enjoy killing, but you dont let it stand in the way of your goals either.
Psychic Frailty (Minor)
You are particularly susceptible to Psychic powers, and suffer a -2 on all rolls made to resist
them.
Slowpoke (Minor)
You suffer a -1 to Pace and when rolling to run. This stacks with Lame and similar Hindrances.
Tenderfoot (Minor)
Not everyone is cut out to deal with the horrors assailing mankind. You suffer a -1 to Grit. This
Hindrance may be bought off by sacrificing an Advancing opportunity.
Gear
Ranged Weapons
Ranged Weapons come in three categories: Pistol, Basic, and Heavy. A Pistol may be held and
fired in one hand. A Basic weapon may be held and fired one- or two-handed, although firing
one-handed results in a -1 to Shooting due to the weapons unbalancing weight. Heavy weapons
must be held in two hands to fire.

Force Weapons
Force Weapon is a template that may be added to any standard weapon. Normally, this weapon is
no different from any other of its type; in the hands of a Psyker it can become far more lethal.
Whenever a Psyker strikes a foe with a Force Weapon he makes a Will check at -2 (or with no
penalty on a Fighting raise). If the Psyker succeeds, the weapon deals an extra 1d10 of damage.
Force weapons also deal double damage against Daemons.

Armor comes in a variety of different styles, but the basic designs are fairly universal.

Ablative

This armor variation absorbs wounds whenever the wearer would take them, but doing so
reduces its armor bonus by 1 per wound. When the bonus is reduced to 0, the armor is
useless.

+20

Bonded

This variation combines one or more of the options listed above. The total cost is equal to
the combined cost of the alteration, -10 for each beyond the first. So Ablative Reflective
Ceramite Armor would cost an additional 80.

Shield bonuses only apply to the front and left/right of a character (depending on the arm holding

Bionics and Implants

Sometimes, flesh alone is not enough to wage the war against mankinds enemies. Where flesh
fails, medical science now allows humanity to fight on through the use of prosthetic limbs, and
bionic implants. The prices listed are for Crude Implants. Average ones cost double, and
Advanced cost triple. Highly Advanced cost four times as much when available.

Mechadendrites

This term covers a variety of tendril-like prosthetics used by the Adeptus

Adeptus

Mechanicus to aid them in construction, maintenance, and research. A

Mechadendrite may be attached anywhere the Adeptus desires, although the
lower back is most popular for purposes of balance and convenience.
These limbs give the user a +2 on Repair, Lockpicking, and other similar tasks
requiring great manual dexterity.
They may also make a melee attack (separate from the users, but on their
initiative) with Strength and Fighting d8.

Combat Stimms
Combat drugs come in a few different varieties, and have varying effects. In addition, there are
three main ways to introduce stimms into ones system.
Inhaler
One deep breath is all it takes! Announce at the start of the turn that the inhaler is used. The
effects of the stimm come into effect immediately but only last for 1d3 rounds. Inhalers are good
for 10 uses.
Injector Implant
An injector normally takes one action to activate and Will continue to have an effect until it is
turned off with another action. The amount of a combat stimm in an injector is measured in terms
of rounds worth of use. A normal Injector starts with 20 rounds of use.
Gland
A character with a stimm gland is permanently affected by the combat drug. It cannot be turned
off and Will last for the entire game. Characters with glands have counteractive stabilizers and
decontaminants in their bloodstream to stave off the many debilitating effects associated with
combat stimms. A character with a gland dispenser Will avoid any negative side effects of their
combat stimms if they pass a Vigor test at the beginning of every session.

Arcane Backgrounds
Psykers
Arcane Background (Psyker)
Requirements: Novice
By Imperial decree all Psykers are required to be registered with the Imperial Ministorum on
penalty of death. Now, whether youre registered or unregistered is up to you, but by being part
of an Inquisitorial entourage, youd be taking quite the risk if you werent. Anyways, Psykers get
their power by tapping into the Warp of Chaos, the great Immaterium as its called. They start out
with 10 Power Points and two Powers from the Savage Worlds Core Book.
Additional Powers: Hunch (from Deadlands: Reloaded), Mind Rider (from Deadlands:
Reloaded)
Whenever a Psyker rolls a 1 on their Will die (regardless of the Wild die) they suffer one of the
following backlash effects.
Backlash
d20
Result

Effect

1-4

Brain Drain: The Psykers mind is fried with energy from the Warp. Hes shaken for 1d6 rounds and
his Will drops a die type for 24 hours.

5-8

Backlash: The Warp energy overloads the Psykers nervous system, causing 3d6 damage.

9-12

Spirit Sap: The Psyker must make a Vigor roll or be incapacitated. Even on a success she suffers a
Fatigue level.

13-15

Madness: The terrible Warp energies drive the Psyker insane. He rolls for a random Dementia from
the GMs table. He must also make a Smarts roll. If failed, the Dementia is permanent. Otherwise, it
lasts for 1d6 days before he snaps out of it.

16-19

Corruption: The power is twisted by Chaos energies to have the worst possible outcome for the
Psyker.

20

Mindwipe: A part of the Psykers soul is consumed by the Warp. Lower his Will die type by 1
permanently.

Psyker Only Edges

The Will (Weird)
Requirements: Novice, Spirit d8+, Persuasion d8+ Intimidate d8+
When making an Intimidate or Persuasion check, the Psyker may exert his warp-empowered Will
to strengthen his influence; the Psyker may even cause enemies to do things they would not
normally do, such as breaking cover or dropping their weapons. The Psyker gains a +2 on any
Persuasion or Intimidate roll in which he declares the use of this ability, but must expend 1

Power Point to do so. Other Psykers have a +1 to resist this ability, and other Psykers with The
Will have a +2.
Astrotelepathy (Weird)
Requirements: Novice, Will d8+
An astrotelepath rapidly becomes one of the most useful members of any entourage. The reason
is this: they are capable of communicating instantly across long distances through the Warp. An
astrotelepath may send a message anywhere within a single subsector by making a Will roll. To
send a message anywhere within the current sector, this roll must be made at -2. Failure indicates
the message was lost somewhere along the way.

Anirbas Virgil, Rogue Trader

Anirbas Virgil is little different from most other Rogue Traders pursuing profit in dozens of
subsectors across the galaxy. Except, of course, for one little thing: Virgil is what the Inquisition
calls a xenophile. He brokers black market deals between subversive groups looking to
purchase xenos weaponry and technology and alien races interested in all manner of things, from
ancient artifacts to Imperium weaponry to directly destabilizing the Imperium itself. While he
himself is only the middle man in these deals, he undoubtedly has an extensive list of contacts
which could lead the Inquisition to dozens, if not hundreds, of heretics. Of course, Virgil is not
exactly defenseless.
Anirbas Virgil is a Wild Card.
