WOW! Super kind words... the honor is all OURS man!
As Arachas stated correctly (for a change!) Pics or it didn't happened... ohhh.. I mean, Staff positions will be open after the release of TLRB v0.6.0! I suggest you read this post and get ahead of other people.
Your post on the Welcome Mat is a great start (we love to meed new people!), and posting battle reports, questions andswers and being involved in YOUR community would help complete the process. We really want people who can Play-Test... this means that can play LOTS of time (even some weird experimental rules) and give us feedback!
In an honest observation, my hat off to you and the rest of your group.
You have found a nice alternative way to "play as"... I assure you, your efforts and gargantuan amount of patience would not go unnoticed. The Kroot will be included on the next release... and they are AWESOME! Not over powered (in hands of idiots like me, they are no good!), but a great challenge for everyone! The Kroot Mercenaries (IMHO) have managed to capture that sense of 'hunters on the prowl' as well as a sense of 'unique constant evolution'... fluff-wise, I'm really proud of the Squad as a whole!
The Space Marine Scout Squad (SMSS) is pre-schedule for the next Suqad release (along the Adeptus Arbites). We resolved many of the 'mechanical' issues, now we have to make sure we do justice to the great fluff. We have a quintizillion of Space Marine fanatics that will hunt us down like the dogs we are if we screw them up... so expect high quality work.
So... have your friend join the community. See if you can take
back to New Mexico, USA! The Dutch just took it over from the Kiwis, who took it over from the Brits, who took it away from us (Florida, USA). HAHAH!
WELCOME!
