An ancient line with its roots in the dim and distant days of Mankind’s golden age, Imperial is nonetheless the smallest of the Megacorporations. The megacorp came into existence too late to lay claim to any of the inner worlds, though at one time it maintained holdings on the moons of several outer worlds. To the megacorp’s eternal shame, it was Imperial Conquistadors who set foot upon Nero and broke the Seal of Repulsion, an act for which they, and indeed the rest of Humanity have paid a terrible price. Ruled by a martial elite, Imperial is the most aggressive of the Megacorporations, ever seeking to expand its interests and influence by taking over smaller freelancers or conquering those that refuse to submit to the Imperial Way.A place to comment, discuss and keep up to date on all things Imperial

While most characters get a cool weapon or a special ability, Brigadier Sir P.D 'Righteous' Rist gets...... A telephone. Quite possibly one of the worst models I have ever seen.

Why is he holding a phone that isn't connected to anything in the middle of a battlefield? He's clearly 'a bit special'. On that note, what ability does this high ranking combat veteran - chosen by the Brotherhood to be the ultimate weapon against the Darkness - have? The ability to call someone. I shit-you-not.

His mum.
Vaginius is leading the forces of dorkness and he calls his mum to berate him. Cue look of disappointment and he turns and walks home. Kicks stone. Shoulders slumped.
Turns out that's why I'm not a game designer.

I quite like it. There should be a whole range of minis with telecommunications devices. Put them all together to form the 501st BT Irregulars...

The humble Trencher - Imperial's grunt trooper. What does he do? Well, not much in comparison to other Corporation's basic troops. He's not tough, or fast, or brave, fanatical, efficient or possessed, and in fact comes off poorly against most other troops. He does, however have the ability to count all light cover as heavy cover (trench warfare, see?), meaning that, once he's in position, he's difficult to dislodge. He also has the 'Stay Frosty' skill, meaning that the death of his superiors effect him not a jot,and the obligatory gas mask keeps him safe when the chemical clouds descend. Add to that, the free HMG (Heavy Machine Gun) assigned to every 5th member of a squad, and you get a group of soldiers who, whilst not individually impressive compared to the skills of other Corporations, team up to form a solid group who will advance towards the enemy irrespective of losses, take an objective, and hold it at all costs. Maybe not so humble, after all.

True that. I've already got two factions, with my eyes open on some proxies for more.

IMPERIAL BETA PDF
New and improved Imperial warbook with extra spikey Wolfbane Commandos who are basically a separate Imperial faction full of berserkers, assassins, and punks on dirt buggies with assault cannons!
What's not to love?
