It's probably best to treat most forces as having fairly close tech levels for mass combat purposes, despite them having access to wildly varying types of equipment, so that they aren't totally unbalanced. Call the Tau, Orks and the Imperium TL 9^ and Eldar and Necrons TL10^ and you will be in the right ballpark, I think. |

Mutants
Mutants living in the Imperium will usually have Social Stigma: Second Class Citizen and also generally have lower Status and Wealth than normal and be less likely to hold rank of any kind.
They will also have advantages and disadvantages to represent their mutations. Many minor mutations, such as a fleshy comb instead of hair or some extra fingers, are simply Unnatural Features and possibly lowered Appearance. Others will be more complex.

Re: Perfect Organism's Warhammer 40,000 conversion thread.
Keep on writing up this :)
Do you have any ideas on something related to the Inquisition? Cause I want to port my dark heresy game over to GURPS instead - and also what about Spaceships for those Rogue trader moments :) All of this must become a great TOME of WH40k PDF-file! |

Re: Perfect Organism's Warhammer 40,000 conversion thread.
The most important thing about Inquisition agents is that they have the 15 point version of Legal Enforcement Powers. Actual Inquisitors will also generally have several levels of Rank (Administrative) and Social Regard (Feared).

Re: Perfect Organism's Warhammer 40,000 conversion thread.
Keep in mind that many of the truly scary dudes from various books are immortal and quite likely qualify as Black Ops for point value. The Inquisitor in the Ultramarines series who discovered the Tyranids (and has the personal authority to nuke inhabited planets out of existence) comes to mind for one, and any Space Marine leader is pretty much guaranteed to be 200-300 years old at a minimum.
And the Space Marines qualify for Intensive Training rules if anyone does. Imperial Guard I am not so sure about as I have not read those books, but any Space Marine or Eldar veteran of multiple war zones has got to have a truly scary skill set. Side note: The Necrons give me headaches. As faceless as their armies are it might be better to write them up as robots or AIs. The C'Tan on the other hand tend to be very singular individuals who can do damn near anything they want up to and including draining stars as an energy source. |
