Okay, so a few years ago I pre-ordered Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM) 3rd Edition from Guardians of Order. Almost immediately after that GoO announced that it was going bankrupt (totally a coincidence?). Happily, the books were already ordered from the printers and White Wolf took over the rights. After receiving both the printed and pdf versions I happily dived in and began enjoying this rather nice rules-light system. The only problem I have with it is that it is a point-buy toolbox. That's fine if you're running a game in a relatively modern period, but for other periods it's time to hit the design studio--hard.
Now, I wanted to run some Warhammer 40,000 scenarios for my gamers but didn't like what I'd seen from Games Workshop (plus their reputation for over-priced merchandise). So, I whipped out BESM and started designing away. I decided that I would add a few of my own ideas to the basic WH40K world. It would be "BESM 40K" instead. Below is a class template for the Sisters of Battle Valkyrie (cool armored battle chicks with jump packs to enable maximum mayhem):
