The adventure takes place in Gunmettal City and covers some Minor Tech Heresy and a Major Theft.

Basicaly the players are called in to find out who's bean nicking Primis Pattern Bolters (All "Best" Quality Weapons), the kind Space Marines use all the time, Sisters of Battle ues when on Crusade, the Arbities, Army & Navy gives as a mark of High Honor and the Inqusision uses when it goes to War. problem the Theafts have bean covert with the contents of Sealed shiping crates swaped for Scrap Mettal and the Seals replaced with either perfectaly forged Seals or Real Seals by a comprimised Adept. the Adeptus Munisinorim have found that from shipments going back over 10 years Hundreds of Primis Bolters are missing, so have the the Adepta Sororitas, the Inqusision also has a "Number" missing (Total estermate from all reciptants is in the Thousounds as more subistutasions are still being found), the Arbities have sofar bean kept out of the Loop as have the Adeptus Mechanicus.

You see Primis Pattern Bolters can fire the more powerful Bolts used by Space Marines, this makes them a Procribed Technolodgy, and the Use or Ownership without a dispensasion is Tech Heresy (adbet a minor one).

The Factonorim just outside Gunmettal City where they are made has bean investigated and cleared, so they must have bean stolen at the Secure Transport Deport in Gunmettal City, the Characters not only find the Thieves but capturer at least some of them so it can be discovered where these Guns are going. but they must do it quitealy not only to prevent the cluprates and their customers from fleeing but to prevent the Adeptus Mechanicus from coming in and Burning the Tech Heretics easily on hand and letting those who could be a Grater Threat from escaping.

As a Reward the party will be informed that capuering the ring leaders and other key persons will be in their credit If they are ever concidered for being awarded a Primis Pattern Bolter.

So What do Folks thing? Good, Bad or potenchaly Messy as daring and Dishonist PCs may just find that some Primis Pattern Bolters may just fall of the back of a truck and in their own "Shadow Armoary".

Drop the Space Marine deliveries, as according to the DH canon, their bolters just can't be used by "mortal" men (at least not those who like their shoulder joints). Otherwise, it sounds fine. Depending on how common bolters are in your game, I'd perhaps drop the number to about a hundred - especially if you play up the superb manufacture and almost mythic veneration for the weapons.

i agree with Cifer, and besides Marines make their own bolters at their Chapter Keeps. same with Sisters of Battle, they make their own bolters at their Monasteries.

None in this case are going to the Marines (Just the Army, Navy, Eclasticies and Inqusision), their just the general type that are used by them, after all Angelus Bolt Carbines don't " Aunty Jack " you (Thats "Rip your Bloddy Arm Off!" for those who are to young or not from OZ).

Anyway Bolt Guns are a Gryoget weapon, after the small "Luanch Charge" (that may be a bit larger in Astartes Rounds) the Rockets in the round it's self caries the payload home, so for a round of it's Mass and Displacment the Recoil is minimal.

In My Universe, Primis bolters are also (actualy most of the time) known by many other names including Astartes for use by Marines (who's furniture is different to accommodate their bigger hands), Crusade for the Eclasticies, Justicar for the Arbities, Honor for most other branches of the Adeptus (including the Army and Navy) and Inquestor for the Inquisition. In My Universe their is the Comman Bolter then their are the Primis types (that can fire "Comman" and "Astartes" type rounds) that are kept under Lock and Key and are pased out only in the time of most Dier Need, the Fruits of a career of Insane Valor or given to the most trusted agents who are expected to go to the most dangrous places. And someone has bean stealing them for Years under the nose of the Inqusision, the Ministoram and the Adeptus with untill now no one the wiser.

and the characters are told if they do good this time they may be improving their chances of being allowed to use these somewhere down the track.
