Hey everyone! Very quick rundown, our group just got into 40k a couple of months ago and we've managed to play Edge of Darkness and Illumination , but with a different GM. For various reasons he will step down, taking the role of a player and I'll try to fill up his shoes. There will be a fresh start, with 4 new characters (3 of them will be the guys who already went through EoD and Ilum, 1 will be totally new to DH). The first adventure should be solid enough for 6-8 sessions (each session is around 3-5 hours).
Now comes my dilemma: what should I choose as a first adventure for new lvl1 chars?
While I have the experience of a player in DH and I can hold my ground when it comes to improvising, I'm absolutely new at GM-ing, so I thought a pre-written adventure would be the safest choice for now. Unfortunately, it seems we've already played through the best "starter" ones. For the past days I went through every DH adventure I could find, but I still have difficulties choosing one. Most good ones seem to be tailored for ranks above 3-4 and I do not want to "buff-up" the characters because both me and them will likely lose control over abilities (i.e.: Tattered Fates, Silence of The Void, Leave no Stone Unturned, The House of Dust and Ash, Scrivner's Star). Others are very "light" in terms of fillers and/or seem like they will be over in 1-2 sessions (i.e.: The Glass Assassin, Brutal Lament, Idyll Heresies).
The closest ones seem to be the 3 adventures in "Purge the Unclean" - although they seem to involve a LOT of tests that will certainly not be available at Rank1 (the book loosely states "under rank 5...") and Maggots in the Meat - which I just found out about (I only know it says "for ranks 1-2" at the beginning).
Any advice on the matter would be most welcomed, so thank you in advance.
