I'm putting this in the "Other" category since Mercs, albeit human, wouldn't be official Imperial forces.

For a long time since I got into 40K, I wanted my force to be more mercenary in nature. While I can understand "theme" armies, there is something to be said for a merc army that survives off of tickets and salvage.

What's your opinion? And put the heavy flamer down!

The art of war is turning an obstacle into an advantage.

I think that they're a wonderful idea, hence the thread in Imperium (since while they're not 'Imperium' per se they do operate within the Imperium). Must admit that the idea of RP'ing a mercenary campaign 40k/GURPS Traveller Star Mercs campaign does have some rather intriguing potential...

Well... I think it's cool too... did you have a specific intention for this thread though, or were you just checking to hear if people found the concept of mercenaries cool?

Anyway, the possibilities for Mercenaries are endless. From savages who want to be paid in live grox to veteran ex-Guardsmen, really.

I also think that this should be in the Imperium thread, unless this forum is renamed "Other Forces In the Anargo Sector"
