>Radical Inquisitor.

Option for Puritanism, please. It'd be fun to be able to swing between puritan and radical, pragmatic and fanatic and so on.

It should also be possible to execute any of your minions at any time without explanation.

As for characters, how about an old guard veteran who worked by your side as an acolyte and was gifted to you by your former master when you earned your rosette? Affable, scarred up as all fuck and trusts your judgement in *most* things. May turn on you if you go super-mega-radical.

An Elite Cadre Space Marine from the Mentor Legion would be cool.

So its exactly like Mass Effect, only using GW's 80s retro space fantasy setting instead of Bioware's own 80s retro science fiction setting?

Oh look its the same fucking plot for every bioware game ever.

-You must travel around the world/galaxy map recruiting allies and companions to fight the ancient evil

-While doing so you defeat the servants/lietenants/etc of the ancient evil and gather the clues as to the ancient's evil plan/location/plot device

-You arrive at the final battle to stop the ancient evil and everyone cheers you on, for some reason the other nations of the world/races of the galaxy are useless and it is up to you to save the day

-You defeat the ancient evil and may have to sacrifice yourself/someone else to defeat it

Female Tau crysis suit operator (plasma/missiles)

Make it so I can choose a female Rogue Trader and have sex with Tyranids, and I'll play the hell out of it.

>hire orks
>order them into a meatgrinder, then fire away at any survivors

Like a true radical Inquisitor.

How about a Necron Pariah that has retained all of his memories and personality, like Tomas Macabee exept he still has his free will.

- An Eldar warlock, very old and weary of his path but a total badass in melee, grudgingly becomes my bro after I show him a mon'keigh's power.

- Tau sniper, broken away from the Greater Good and living life like a wild man, no inhibitions, no fear, balls to the wall crazy.

- Callidus assasin chick, requisite femme fatal, but seems totally disinterested in sex or any relationship, enjoys her job and fancies herself an expert actress

Can I recruit a Squ-

>>13603371
Why female? Don't tell me its because you want a Tau as a romance option.
Actually fuck that, if any of you want romance stuff in a 40k game then fuck you

Fucked up scope. An active world engine is something for the navy to handle. Inquisitorial presence would sum up to an inquisitor being all 'yup, that's heretical, gotta kill it.' Inquisitors combat the inside threats. Invasion fleets are for the navy, guard, and astartes.

As you're a Lord, you're experienced and very important, so you'd be interested in something big. Let's say, a shrine world corruption, or a tech heresy cult in one of the asteroid belt mines.

fuck no mass effect 2 was a piece of shit

>>13603420

>Why female? Don't tell me its because you want a Tau as a romance option.
>Actually fuck that, if any of you want romance stuff in a 40k game then fuck you

Re-read the OP's post.

It's a fucking BioWare game, if you can't jam it into the reproductive cavity of every single alien species in the universe those guys won't even touch it.

>>13603435

Just thinking about it is fun

Are there any 40k mods for Mass Effect 1 or 2?

It had its disappointments, writing and dialogue choices being the prime examples.

Fuck no, I want to be an =][= recruiting acolytes.

The 120 year old Arbite who is Judge Dread, but must bow to your rules because you are an Inquisitor

The scum who has been killing people since she was 10. When she was 12 she made a deal with the local gang that sold her mother into slavery.

The feral-world guardsman who cannot read and worships the Emprah as the God of Battle

The Psyker who FEELS THE WARP OVERTAKING HIM

The Techpriest with 9001 prayer scrolls

The Sister with ENORMOUS armor

And the Adapt who fails at everything because this is a combat game.

Can we choose our ship?

>>13603509
>The Sister with ENORMOUS armor
Can she also have a pair of ENORMOUS bolters?

I HAVE FANTASIZED (non-sexually) ABOUT THIS GAME

I think that, were it made, the inquisitor ones plays as should get:
-Deathwatch member who travels with the inquisitor after his squad is destroyed (During the first mission in which the inquisitor finds the terrifying alien/nemesis which he barely escapes) (Melee Tank)
-The Debonair rogue trader whose ship he requires for his task, and who will lead him towards radicalism should the inquisitor follow his advice. (Thief/striker/short to mid range damage)
-Eldar Warlock found as his craftworld is being destroyed by said alien menace (Caster, spec for damage or support)
- Tau crisis suit operator (heavy weapons)
- Ork Freebooter
- Daemonhost (radical only)
- Sororitas (Puritan only)
- And a comissar too for good measure

/tg/ should flesh out a story for this wonderful game. This could be a truly awesome RPG if GW gets it's head out of its ass

>>13603509
This. Less one of every xenos, more humans.

Then later, when you can pick up xenos/bind daemons/acquire marines your acolytes will shit bricks, raise questions or just spack out in general.

>>13603569
You forgot to stick (radical only) after the xenos.

>>13603578
i think if this was actually made, the "one of every xenos" thing would be requisite to cater to fanbases and explore the fiction for those unfamiliar. I would personally welcome it, I think it could really flesh out the game

Fucking GW, why do they hate video games so much? This is the best 40k game idea I've heard since 40k Battlefront.

>>13603594
meh, its not only radicals that will work with xenos on a conditional basis. A more moderate/puritan can too if the results are worth it. The ork is radical though, I'll give you that.

>>13603599
They don't need to be party members to be catered to. Taking a cooperative approach with the Eldar is better than recruiting one and ending up with a slew of different big-name species aboard. It works in Mass Effect but not in 40k where aliens are inherently different, dangerous and xenophobia runs rampant through the Imperium.

It is a Bioware RPG though, so in all likelihood human = boring. Which is a shame, since you can get a stupid-huge array of characters from a place as diverse as the Imperium.

Should be humans-only, I think.

BAMP for good ideas

>>13603621
The Tau could work. Ethereals sending out a Tau to gather more info on the Imperium, an adventure with an Inquisitor would definitely interest them. It could also be for diplomacy reasons, the Tau party member could be a water caste member instead.
Also Ogryns.

There should be a daemonhost. If you bring it along it should tempt you constantly. It will give you power beyond anything else in the game if you give in to it.

It should then fuck you, literally at metaphorically, during the finale of the game and give you a BAD END if you take it up on its offers.

>>13603670
Doable, but then you have to deal with a Tau trying to turn your acolytes and crew to the Greater Good.

Unless you get a jaded, practical Tau who is as much of an amoral, mercenary bastard as the finest of acolytes are.

Gav the Ogryn as a party member.
That is all.

All human, cos anything else would be HERESY!!!!!!
Also necrons dont like crazy-space-magic-shit so u gotta have a librarian

>>13603670
Kroot would be better, I think. There's also prior evidence of them serving in Inquisitor's retinues (Kal Jericho).

>>13603708
>Doable, but then you have to deal with a Tau trying to turn your acolytes and crew to the Greater Good.
True, but it could be a good plot device. If its a problem though, then I guess a fire caste Tau is better.

Banshees. Delicious Banshees. For the requisite Bioware hurr durr xenos love interest. Barring that, an UltraSmurf scout who's like a total bro frat boy.

>>13603743
Could be interesting to see how the Tau changes over prolonged separation from the Ethereal cast. What reason would there to bring a Tau along as anything other than a prisoner, though? Xenos in general are problematic for Inquisitors; use them openly and you acquire a bad rep which your peers will use against you.

>>13603772
>make pass at eldar
>witness a level of revulsion incapable of being experienced by a primitive human

Perpetually put out Sister of battle, who is annoyed at having to put up with all these Xeno's 'n Heretics up in this bitch, and professes her hatred for the Inquisitor in question with the burning fury of a thousand suns.

>>13603826
>welcome to my quarters, sister
>why is their a sanctified blade in my groin?

Alternatively: sister is racked with guilt after the deed, feels that she's allowed herself to become distracted from her duty, loses access to faith abilities.

>>13603802
>Could be interesting to see how the Tau changes over prolonged separation from the Ethereal cast
Personally I'm not a fan of that piece of fluff. I think it'd be more fun to have some naive happy-go-lucky Tau. Be entertaining to have a crew member who has no idea what hes up against.

>>13603843

eh

Sororitas are not in any way, by vows or similar, prevented from having sexual relations.

Due to their lifestyle however, solid relationships are impractical.

>>13603348
>World Engine
World Engine ... ?
>WARNING: BEAST PLANET DETECTED

>>13603871
Well yeah, she isn't forbidden. Depends on which bit of fluff you read, but sure, let's go with that.

She just finds herself thinking of <CHARNAME> more rather than the Emperor most of the time. This is utterly unacceptable, hence loss of faith and general self-loathing.

Could one small section of the Imperium attempt to be on good terms with the Tau?

Say one in the middle of nowhere, the Tau showed up when they were expanding. The government there decided they didn't have the resources to outright destroy the Tau and the Tau didn't want to spend the resources to destroy this settlement. Overtime they grew okay with each other and started trading with each other.

Then the Necrons pop up en mass...

>>13603843
I suppose it comes down to whether the Inquisitor plays it Paragon or Renegade.
Renegade will totally crush her spirit and tell her she is now no better then heretics she's worked so long to destroy
Paragon will lift her up, pointing out that the codex Imperialis only forbids the interaction of UNSANCTIONED Xenos, and remind her thats, no matter what, she remains a daughter of the Emperor

>>13603895
Oh, absolutely. This happens all the time. The various Adeptus won't tolerate it, but the local interests might. Of course, the Tau will be angling for the world to join their empire instead. Set it on a planet where the Imperim and Tau Empire both have territory but neither side wants to start a war because they've got bigger problems at the moment. Neither side likes each other but they're forced to get along. For now.

>>13603895
I think theres some Imperium planets that fully joined the Tau, don't know if theres some middle ground planets though. There probably is.

>>13603911
Former option has a high chance of triggering a murder-suicide/martyrdom reaction.

>>13603914
Happened in one of the Cain books, that exact situation.

>>13603895

This is called Imperial Armour Vol 3 - The Taros Campaign

if the are no spieces limits then
space marine for my second in command
tau battlesuits for ranged warefare
eldar ranger for sniper role
chaos deamon prince for bruiser
dark eldar incubi

-Krieg Commissar (I mean, why not?).
-Ork of some variety. 'ardboy perhaps?
-Kroot.
-Techpriest.
-Sister Repentia.
-Arbites Judge.
-Pariah.
-Astral Claw that gtfo before Badab.
-Valhallan veteran(Jurgen).

>>13603895
Would be a good "Freedom's progress" kind of mission, along with a chance to interact with Tau and hopefully set up the goodwill for a Tau recruit further down the line in the game

Would Spess Mahreens make the game unbalanced, you think?

>>13603945

>chaos deamon prince for bruiser
>dark eldar incubi

I'd really like to see your reasoning for employing these two and how you actually manage to do it.

>>13603914
>>13603920
>>13603933
I see. I know the Eldar have helped in secret before and the Orks have hired themselves out. And the Blood Ravens sided with Necrons at one point.

Has the Imperium ever sided with Dark Eldar or Chaos?

>>13603973
Only in the same way most xenos would: they'd be massively powerful and utterly useless most of the time when you're required to be subtle.

>>13603982
Blood Angles, and only against Tyranids.

>>13603982
Probably, though I suppose it only lasted until the immediate threat was destroyed- then they went right back to blasting each other.
I know DE and CE have teamed up to take down Chaos though

on second thoughts i would just get a fleet of ships and perform an exterminatus a couple of times just to make sure

>>13603990
Doh, had the wrong set of space marines.

>>13603997
>end of game
>"Fuck it, let's blow the shit outta this place."

This would work better as a Rogue Trader being hired out by the =][= than as a real Inquisitor. RTs can get away with shit

>>13603997
You'd probably need to get buddy buddy with the Imperial Navy, or maybe an Eldar Craftworld, or hell, maybe even convince the commander of an Ork Rok that the best way to show how Hard they are is to launch themselves directly into the Necron world destroying thingymabob
Bonus points for all three!

>>13603975

deamon prince by using inqusitorial powers to hold him to the inquisitor some how and dark eldar incubi by having the deamon prince one of slannesh so that hell follow

also deamon prince makes for tank or monster killer while the incubi will follow the deamon prince

>>13604021
It'd also give you a hell of alot more freedom in general. It'd also let you pursue a plot that isn't "SAVE <WORLD/SECTOR/GALAXY>.

It's also let the devs use the Inquisition as bogeymen that you want to avoid drawing the attention of at all costs.

>>13604037
>Inquisition is in desperate need of ships and trained forces
>"We'll give you a bunch of thrones to take care of the problem"

>>13604048
This man will be the reason you NEVER want to dock in Port Wander again.

>>13604034

>>13604034

Yeah... you need to read more fluff before saying stuff like this. Daemon Prince is not the same as a Daemon or a Daemonhost. While they have True Names that could possibly weaken them, I don't think they could actually be bound to anyone, except their own Chaos patron. And I'm pretty sure that that particular Dark Eldar would have to be insane, even by DE standards, to follow a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh.

>>13604075
Running around with a daemon prince has a 100% chance of getting you declared Excomunicatae Traitoris. It's not even remotely close to Radicalism. Using a daemonhost and getting found out more or less guarantees you're going to be hunted by your peers.

Oh, and any daemon prince kowtowing to an Inquisitor is going to be manipulating the shit out of them.

>>13604025
Okay, as this is a BioWare game here is how it will go:

The opening happens. You are a rogue trader and you get to walk around your ship. SUDDENLY A DISTRESS CALL FROM THE ASUS COLONY! Because you're a good guy you opt to try and help humanity.

You go to the Asus colony. It's being over ran by Necrons. You kill some low-ranking necrons and save some people. The Imperium contacts you and offers you a job to figure out where the fuck they are coming from. You get three leads: the space hulk Orion which was recently attacked, a Tau world the Imperium calls Neesa, and an unknown contact who will meet you at a designated spot in space.

>>13604164
@ Orion: You wander around for a bit and sure enough, it was attacked by Necrons!! But, the Tyranids have shown up and are consuming it. You have to get the ship's black box downloaded and high tail it out of there. There is still one marine alive: A scout who has managed to survive for the past five months named Julian. Through one way or another, he ends up going with you. This part plays almost exclusively like a standard shooter: one small catch, though, with the longer you remain on the ship more and more Tyranids show up. Eventually you will be overwhelmed.

@Neesa: Because you already have contacts there, you are able to openly land there, after paying the docking fees of course. A Tau engineer offers to do extensive maintenance on your vessel while you are going about your business on the planet.
While you're on the planet, you need to first track down someone who knows what the fuck is going on. One of your team mates, Kees, goes off on her own. You then play as her going through the town, gathering information. She finds a xenophile and can then coerce the information out of him, either via her feminine charms or her rough attitude - both of which the Tau xenophile oddly likes. Regardless of what she does, she finds out nothing useful; the Tau was leading her in circles.
Back to the Captain, s/he meets with the Tau leadership and he explains that he's tracking down the source of the Necrons: Turns out he has evidence of this being an Eldar plot: They activated a group of Necrons and sent them in a direction. Their reason or location remains unknown.

@Space: The Captain meets with an old, old friend of his: Warboss Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter. Sometime before being defeated by the SPEEHZ MARINES, the two of them were good friends. It's never explained or explored why and fans suspect that he was only put into the game as a shout out or because the writers couldn't think of anything better.
etc. etc.

>>13604048
Rogue Trader recuits/bribes leaders from every race to deal with a problem no one race can solve on it's own
Farseer: "I have seen the future, and I know that you will need me, for you Mon-Keigh are pathetic and would die one hundred times over were it not for the Eldar"
Warboss: "AH'M DA BIGGEST SO AH'M DA BOSS, I GOTS ME BOYZ WIF ME" you pay him in teef and secretly give him special drug coctails to make him lethargic and more susceptible to orders when on the ship
Shas'O: "FOR THE GREATER GOOD" his entire army of Fire Warriors died (probably your fault), but he will still fight for the Greater Good, and to end this terrible threat
Commissar: "If I had known..." he volunteered to be attached to your crew for the duration of the mission, you start the game with him and it becomes more and more apparent that he would rather be anywhere else in the universe except here.

>>13604094
What if they pulled an Ultramarines on us, where if you make enough radical choices one of your crew members become one, could be used as a sub plot or in the end

>>13604176
>Commissar: "If I had known..."
I could see it

>>13604094

I know that. Why are you telling me that? I mean, it would be pure suicide even getting close to a Daemon Prince as in several books that have them appearing as characters, not just extras, pretty much tell that everyone around them is immediately physically sick, even their own allies who should be used to this sort of thing around them. And I really can't see a possible way of seeing any Daemon Prince, no matter who's their patron, siding with an Inquisitor just for combating a mutual threat. It would be fun though if somehow you did have some sort of Warp entity as your temporary ally, and always before translating to the Warp, he advises you to drop the Gellar field around the ship. Cue Event Horizon.

>>13604164
>>13604172
>>13604176

Inquisitor, our tech priests believe that they can gain powerful STC tech from the World Engine. Dont destroy it.

Callidus Assassin must be included

With regards to a Deamonhost as a party member I think there would be three endings to how that turned out. One where you manage to pry just enough info out of him to get an edge on the enemy, but you lose something important to you (but not your soul) as the cost. The second would be where you make a deal and get a BIG edge on your enemies but at a great personal cost which may or may not include your soul (you have no way to tell). The third would end up with you either him breaking free and devouring your soul, or you giving in to chaos resulting in a game over

Another team member I'd propose:

The Redeemer (Ultra-Puritan)

He becomes a boss later on if you become a radical.

inducted units:
- Catchan Devils Vet Officer: boltgun w/ M40 tergeter & silenced shells, democharges, powerfist. frag
- Deathwatch bloodangles Vet sgt: H-bolter w/ hellfire, meltabombs. frag
- Deamonhunter storm trooper: storm bolter w/ psychannon bolts & psychic powers
- Tanith master sniper. long-las
- Spacewolves jump pack vet sgt: boltpistol & power sword.
- Celexus assassin

Ok I'll give a try.. hopefully I don't suck.

Ok I'll give a try.. hopefully I don't suck.

First recruit : Guardsman Sergent. Quite an old guy, blind in 1 eye, and the other enhanced by cybernetics optical implants.
Been through so many wars, seen so many die.
Decided to join you because he think his lived for too long, and hope to finally join his friends. Quite a depressing character.

Relationship: You try to cheer him up, show him that the universe still have much for him to look out for.
Special quest: He asks you to bring him if possible to some planet which his son and grandchildren where, he just wanted to say "Hi" to them again


Second recurit: A junior Techpriest, Not much modification done to his body. Wants to join you because he thinks its his only chance for
promotion if he can get some Nercon artifacts back. Always want to be the first to handle any so call artifacts. Over zealous guy.

Relationship: You make him see the importance of this mission. Its not about him only, that he needs to be a teamplayer.
Special quest: You need to somehow, "give" a Nercon artifact you found to him. The artifact is in "some other" party's hands.

Bumping this for the first and last time, in case anyone else has anything to add

Third & Fourth recurit: Sister Repenta and an Ork Komando. You some how found her and the Ork boyz. After you came across a Dark Eldar spaceship.
The spaceship carries a shipment of glatiator slave for death fights. The slaves manage to break out and a fight to the bitter end. Only the sister
Repenta and Ork Komando are the last 2 standing. None know how to pilot the ship. Sister Repenta joins you because she finds you are doing it for a
good cause. Ork Komando joins you because HE WANTS your DAKKAS!!!

Relationship: You become the Ork Kommando's new War Boss, give him what he wants if possible, and in general, treats him like a bro <-- try
Relationship: For the Sister Repenta, cheer her up, like the Guardsmen Sergent. Sister Repenta becomes so sort of a foster daughter to the Guardman.
Special quest: Find Dark Eldar arena and destroy it. You probably need to fight loads of Dark Eldars and their slaves.

Fifth recurit: You are on this hiveworld that the gorvener is having trouble with the local gang lords. You are asked to help him get rid of the local
gangs. While doing so, you found a smuggled crate, inside splept a Venerable Dreadnought, from some long forgotten chapter. Dreadnought itself slept
for too long, lost memories

Relationship: Techpriest is the only one that have at least some knowledge of maintaining a Dreadnought, becomes "buddies" with the Dreadnought.
Dreadnought is confused why you have "xenos" working for you. Need to convience it, that its "ok"

Special quest: Explore a long forgotten Space Hulk, for clues of the forgotten Chapter and how the Dreadnought ended up

Sixth recurit: Eldar Banshee. You found her while doing a side quest, trying to root out a local cultist group. The said Banshee want to find the
cult too. Know she can't just just walk around in a human settlement, decides to join you. Does not tell you why. During the cultist hunt you found
out that the cultists actually have with them a Eldar toddler, and want to scarifice her to Slaanesh. Thats when you know whats the banshee is after

Relationship: The banshee reluctantly follows you, since herself and her daughter have no place else to turn to. In general, the Sister Repenta grew
a sort of attractment to the Eldar toddler. And the banshee trust most of the crew, not the Techpriest and Ork, near her child.

Special quest: During a re-supply at a space station. Banshee asks you to baby sit her daughter, because she need to find a Eldar merchant
whom she knew, but does not know he is still around. The problem is, you also want to go out and have some fun yourself.
Convince the Dreadnought to baby sit the toddler for you. And make sure her mom does not find out.

>>13605159
>Convince the Dreadnought to baby sit the toddler for you. And make sure her mom does not find out.

Seventh recruit: Eldar Warlock. The Banshee's Sister-in-law. Is at the space station too. Heard the locals screaming about a Dreadnought running lose in the space station with a Eldar toddler on it, something about the Dreadnought "giving piggy back rides"

You can only recruit her if you manage to convince the Dreadnought to babysit the Banshee's daughter.

Relationship: She is pissed off with you, and so is the Banshee and the Sister Repenta. You need to convince the both of them that its not your fault.

Special quest: Stay alive while trying to weasel your way out

>>13603348
An Ork ex-Warboss that got overthrown by his second in command.

A Tau stealthsuit pilot that's disillusioned by the Tau Empire

A seasoned, quirky techpriest of Mars that's more ritual than useful

An angry, sassy former Imperial Guard

A commissar that hates said Imperial Guard, but due to your command, you stop him from executing the guardsman.

A grey knight who was going to be executed for heresy, you have saved and offered a chance for redemption.

>>13605512
>a grey knight going to be executed for heresy
what? You're a retard.

>>13605600
From what I understand, the Gray Knights, while being resistant to chaos, aren't totally immune, unless I'm flat out wrong and they are elite spess mehreens that can do no wrong.

>>13605627

The runes in their skin vaporize them if taint actually manages to occur.

IMO the Tau character should be a pathfinder, the pulse carbine would balance the great damage with a short range, and the markerlight could make some interesting "powers"

As i see it the player finds the remains of a devilfish and some tau pathfinders dead, they where attacked by the evil guys and this guy is the only survivor, he will help you in exchange of helping him finding the rest of his team.

You can unlock the rail rifle, long range and a lot of damage but slow to fire.

>>13603348
>Waist line of 00
Wtf?

>>13605627
grey knights literally cannot fall to chaos, in this regard they are closer to being robots than human beings. Get your archtypical redemption character out of here.

>>13605627
Even if a Grey Knight would "be somewhat tainted" the taint would be immediately burned out because:
1) hexagrammical wards engraved on the Grey Knights bones
2) hexagrammical wards sticked to the Grey Knights body
3) hexagrammical wards sticked over the Grey Knights power armour

>>13605627
>The Grey Knights hold a unique honour among the chapters of the Adeptus Astartes - in over ten thousand years of service, not a single one of their number has ever defected to Chaos.

Well, that fact there lends to the assumption they are infact totally uncorruptible.

I've had several ideas for Fantasy Battles/40k games, some of them fairly thoroughly planned out over several years but damn modern GW is such a bunch of greedy lawyer jews about their IP that fan projects are just asking for trouble. Guess I'll just have to be satisfied with Dawn of War :|

Needs more Stormboy

I have to admit all this is some good stuff, but, (and this is based on what little fluff i've found)
doesn't space travel over large distances take an ungodly amount of time? Thereby fucking up any attempts at "HURRY THE FUCK UP WE'RE-OHSHIT TYRANIDS EVERYWHERE!"

>>13606216
It depends on the state of the warp. While travel time can be fairly stable on established warp routes, going "offroad" could bring almost instant travel. Or even cause ships to arrive before they left. Or never.

>Bioware
>Mass Effect
>Warhammer

People, an Aspect Warrior cannot just get up and leave their Craftworld and Shrine just to follow a human who is preaching the end of the galaxy. The only response a Inquisitor would get would be something like "The Craftworld will find it's own way to deal with it, human." The Path and the Craftworld is much more important than any human. The only exception to this rule is an Eldar ranger, who lives for this kind of stuff.

The crew should all be human and if any xenos sign on the Inquisitor should be far radical. His human crew should also have a major problem with it... especially for you guys listing an Astartes on your crew and then you have like 5 aliens listed right after.

Some traveling companions for a rogue trader or a really really radical inquisitor:

A nameless Eldar Farseer who is using you to prevent the destruction of her craftworld by [ANCIENT EVIL]. Depending on your choices, she may help you destroy the [ANCIENT EVIL] or simply sell you out to save her own people (TREACHEROUS XENOS!) if you give her the opportunity. You can hunt down and destroy her craftworld if you shell out ten bucks for the DLC.

Lemong Ullyman, an Ork Komando disguised (poorly) as a Death Watch Astarte of the Spacemarine chapter. If you humor him he'll follow your orders and eventually forget his original mission. If you question his credentials he'll hit you over the head and flee into the bowels of your ship, reappearing throughout the game in increasingly ridiculous disguises.

Penny the loli psyker, rescued from cultists and brought aboard the ship before you realize what she is, takes over one of the mess halls and refuses to leave. As long as you're polite and keep providing her with servitors for her tea parties, the walls won't grow faces and start screaming at you.

Maude, the puritanical Missionary and former Sororitas provides the crew with spiritual guidance (Purge the Unclean), medical knowledge (Kill the Mutant), and fresh baked cookies (Burn the Heretic). After spending the better part of a century delivering the Emperor's wrath to those who deserved it most, Maude is nearly blind and has a body that a tech priest would envy. Originally a member of the Orders Militant, successive injuries forced her to take on less strenuous duties in the Orders Hospitaller, Dialogous, and Famulous before following the Emperor's call to become a wandering missionary. That call has led her aboard your ship, and apparently her, er, rich lifetime of memories holds some clue to defeating the [ANCIENT EVIL]. In order to find the truth, you'll have to sift through her awe inspiring collection of scrapbooks and listen to a lot of very very long stories about how she used to set people on fire back in the good old days.

Once Maude is unlocked, you can assign her to babysit Penny and reclaim the lost decks. Some combination of her unshakable faith and skull full of metal makes her not only immune to warp phenomena, but seemingly oblivious to it as well.

Dean is a novice tech priest, freshly anointed, 100% organic and miserably mediocre. Desperate to prove his worth to his peers, he will gladly take anything shiny that you give him and weld it to his body---The results can be impressive and/or horrifying. It's probably best not to let him play with anything necron-ish. Despite the historically strained relationship between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Ecclesiarchy, Dean is strangely deferential to Maude, most likely due to the fact that she is approximately 80% bionic.

The Immuteable Glormshyx wasn't a very impressive daemon before being summoned, trapped and bound by a radical Inquisitor, and after spending several thousand years sealed in a chainsword he's mostly given up on bartering for souls or winning his freedom. These days he's happy not to get locked in a dark closet, and he'll readily trade forbidden knowledge for TV privileges. Although captivity may have dulled his ambitions, it hasn't dulled his cunning intellect, and none are safe from his cruel, sarcastic wit. Once he almost made a planetary governor's mistress cry with a carefully worded observation about her weight. It was totally worth spending a week in the closet. Glormshyx spends a lot of time with Maude who uses his vessel as a walking stick and due to her poor eyesight she isn't terribly bothered by the disembodied voice. The daemon tolerates this arrangement because it gets him out of the closet, and no matter how rude he acts to the rest of the crew none of them are going to tell the seven foot tall cyber-Sororitas that they keep a daemon on board.

Mu is a slightly used Eversor, not much for conversation since he spends most of his time locked in a crate. He only has a limited supply of DRUGS so you can only take him out for a few hours before he runs out of BEAUTIFUL SPARKLY DRUGS and explodes. Save him for really tough situations or do the side quests to acquire more WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DRUGS from scenic locales such as bombed out Inquisitional strongholds, slaaneshi nightclubs, or Adeptus Mechanicus Biologis testing facilities.
