Redmatter Warhammer 40K RP

Hi! If your seeing this, you saw my server, however, your either wondering two things, what in the God Emperors holy name is Warhammer 40K or who are we and why do we even bother to exist? Well, allow me to answer both questions in this guide regarding Redmatter Gaming.

What is Warhammer 40K?

If your new to the franchise and wondering what is Warhammer 40K, allow me to give you the brief slogan of 40K:

"In the grim darkness of the far future there is only WAR... the once bright future of mankind has been stolen, what we once thought as our future is now plagued by war and superstition, mankind is now surrounded by foes, xenos such as the Orks and Tyranids plague the worlds of mankind, doing war for pure primal insticts, worst the foul servants of the chaos gods have triumpth in cadia, and now the Imperiun finds itself over siege against its dark foe, only faith steel and boltguns stand against the horrosr of the warp."

Or in other terms, a universe where thoughts feed dark gods, church's are space ships, living metal skeletons are fighting off Intergalactic bugs that will eat everything off you and never ending hordes of greenskins that have a blast annexing your world.

If you would like to learn about the lore of Warhammer 40K, their are two lore pages and a video series i'd recommend which both explains the details and lore of Warhammer 40K in their own style:

The Forces of Redmatter Gaming

Whilst our focus on this server are the Imperial Guard, we have attachments of other factions in the Warhammer 40K universe such as the Cult Mechanicus, Sisters of Battle and the Imperial Fists. These factions are added so that whilst the Imperial Guard can get a majority of the killing done by numbers and faith, the added bonus of these extra factions allows for roleplay opportunities and also extra fire support during those times where the giant daemon just won't die.

With this in mind, allow me to present you all each faction that the server offers with backstory and explanation of what they do so that even if you think you wouldn't fit in the first place, can know that no matter what their is always a place for you on the server, at least in the Imperial guard.

786th Cadian Regiment

One of the last regiments to originally be formed from Cadia itself, it now resides on the frontier of the great rift in an effort to help defend and fortify the never ending threat of heretics, xenos and mutants that constantly terrorise and annex the lands of the planet. With this in mind, they are blessed by the attachments of armoured Leman Russ Squad, two artillery batteries, valkyries, thunderbolts, emplacements and the aid of external forces of the Imperium.

The regiment itself contains a variety of specialisations that serve a practical purpose from helping your bleeding Guardsman to blowing Ork crap up with a rocket launcher, you can be assured that if you stay in the guard we got just the job to suit you! Got a hard on for big guns? Become a heavy weapons unit and get a hand held machine gun that out shoots a M2 browing! Want a even bigger gun? Become a crewman and get access to the Leman Russ MBT and more!


Or, if you think you got what it takes and think your the best, tryout on becoming a Kasrkin, the elite of Cadia and simply the finest of troopers the Fortress World itself had to offer, getting the choice between a meltagun and a plasma cannon, you and your elite skills and equipment will allow you to leave a mark against the forces of Chaos and the filthy xenos aliens that dare enter our God Emperors lands.

Cult Mechanicus

The Cult Mechanicus, a religion that has existed before the Imperium itself and the only religion that is tolerated within the Imperium that isn't the Imperial Creed for the simple fact of obtaining the war supplies needed to fuel the infrastructure of the Imperium such as merchant ships and material for building hive cities to fuelling the great war machines of the Imperium such as the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarium.


On Redmatter, their focus is supporting the Cadian Regiment as a whole from maintaining the grand machines the regiment has in their use to the sacred, blessed armour of the Adeptus Astartes. Not only that, they can be used to crack military intelligence or obtaining and processing the data from fallen outposts so the sacrifices made to obtain the intelligence will not be in vain. And finally, they can also process the biological secrets of the xenos, compel the diseases that threatens humanity and augment Guardsman to compensate for their physical sacrifices against the enemies of the God Emperor.

Sisters of Battle

The Sisters of Battle are the militant branch of the Adeptus Sororitas, acting as the military arm of the Ecclesiarchy, they work as the militant branch of the Ordos Hereticus of the Holy Emperors Inquisition and a walking symbol of faith, loyalty and determination amongst the people they walk among. One of their most iconic traits is their only female recruits and their commonly dyed white hair in honour of their founding saint, Alicia Dominica.



As the 28th Mission of the Ordor of our Martyred Lady and on the very front line of the many foes that this planet faces, the mission are equipped for any situation they may face and blessed to be accompanied by Seraphims, battle hardened Battle of Sisters that descend from the sky like angels with their jump packs into the heat of battle and blaze hail upon the unlucky foe that faces their efforts. Along with the Seraphims, they come equipped with Melta Guns, Plasma Guns, Heavy Bolters and the blessed melee weapons from Mars itself.

Imperial Fists

The Imperial Fists, the seventh original space marine legion during the great crusade and forming of the Imperium, they are one of the few chaptors of the Adeptus Astartes that are able to descend directly from their founding legion by name, colour and symbol. Known by many names such as the Sons of Down, Protectors of Terra and the Men of Stone. Long respected and recognized for their efforts, the Imperial Fists are one of the most iconic and well known chaptors of the Imperium and the saviors of Terra itself during the Horus Heresy.


Originally, the 8th company were utterly destroyed but thanks to the close connections with the Black Templars with them being formerly apart of Imperial Fist legion itself before the Second Founding, the Black Templars offered and rebuilt the 8th Company. Centuries later, the 8th company was deployed to aid General Lionheart in his defence against the many kinds of heretics, xenos and mutants he was to face. With that in mind, the 5th squad was sent to aid Marshal Cali and his regiments with some even accompanying the 786th itself in their never ending crusade.

Why was Redmatter created?

The Beginning:
As of the time of the initial idea, their was only two visible Warhammer 40K servers for Garrys Mod, both of which were just Gmod servers, not Warhammer 40K servers, by that i mean their not what i believe what the Warhammer community is in general represents, this being memes and gritty seriousness. Unlike some fandom communities who i find are very specific of what should be allowed in "their franchise" and what shouldn't, i find that the Warhammer 40K community in general is all about having a good time, whether it be by making a meme about the current lore or expressing your inner crusader and purge heretics, either way, none of these factors exist on Gmod until now.

The Goal:
On Redmatter, we focus on the Imperial Guard so a majority can experience a true man on the ground experience that most of existing Warhammer 40K games normally don't offer, with that in mind, we do allow a few certain external units as you have read above to spice things up in both combat and rp however their are efforts put in to ensure that these roles aren't used as a power grab and are taken seriously.

However, the main endgame is to ensure that all players enjoy a serious but casual experience on the server, their are times and places for jokes and during times where nothing is going on or a mistake happens during a RP sessions, a joke can be cracked up just to lighten up moods or just for the giggles and to prevent the misunderstanding of hardcore milsim RP. However, during moments like patrols, combat operations etc the goal is to take things seriously and act in character so that people can feel immersed, even though we may be using a map from Halo you should see enough Warhammer 40K assets to compensate for the not so 40K assets. Even then, if were using non-40K assets it's for the practical sake so that you! The player! Can have fun on the server!

If you find this server, feel free to join our discord or our server by server IP where anyone is welcome as long as you follow the rules and not try to ruin peoples fun. In the mean time, thanks for making it this far and i wish you to have a splendid day in the name of our God Emperor.
