Hephaestus can apply up to 20 requisition worth of upgrades to his force hammer as he gets it for free as a librarian.

Signature wargear allows you to give one of your standard issue wargear up to 20 requisition of upgrades or permanently requisition another piece of wargear worth up to 20 requisition. Renown requirements must be met as normal.
^ Sweet! I'll get cracking on that after breakfast.
I might be busy until I work, and that'll be 'til 11. I'll try and get a post up between then and now but if I don't my post will be a bit late. I do promise one today at least.
I don't have much in the way of upgrading (for now), so I'm gonna permanently requisition a power sword. Dual-wielding FTW!
You guys have until around 1800 eastern time Monday to ask questions, figure out your gear and such.
Sounds good. I am waiting on tech support to clear up that issue I am having with my account, but I did get an alias set up.
Questions will be answered in a couple of hours, been a busy day today.
Do Deathwatch apothecaries wear black armor too, or do they keep the customary white?
the Astartes Webber in Rites of Battle would be great for this mission but none of us have the renown to get it. So how are we going to do this. We want to keep it as quiet as possible for as long as we can? Or just go in guns blazing and make sure there are no suvivors. Also how do we bring back a sample of their sheild tech do they want the whole ship?

More Elite Xyclorian troops have personal shields, your superiors want one of those.
I think guns blazing-no survivors will be more achievable for us at this stage.
How is this for a plan. We slip in and plant explosives on the Tau ship. Then we cut through the hull of the Xyclorian ship, and we blow the Tau ship at the same time. That way we don't have to worry about the Fire warriors coming to save the Tau envoy. We will have to completely destroy both ships anyway since we don't want to leave any evidence behind.
I think the Xyclorian ship will be there first...
Got all the pertinent books and will be making final adjustments today. Looking forward to this.
Are we in the Jericho Reach in this campaign?
yes
Sounds good. I am waiting on tech support to clear up that issue I am having with my account, but I did get an alias set up.
Have you gotten your stuff sorted out yet?
So do you guys want to move on without the Salamander?
I say yes.
Can help join "avatar-less" for now?
Wasn't Hephaestus having technical difficulties on his end with his account?
I'd be alright with moving on. Has the guy contacted you at all since?
His post in this thread is the last I heard.
I will move things ahead after work tomorrow, you guys have till then to sort out the last stuff. If Hephaestus gets his stuff sorted he can join in later.
For the record, I am perfectly fine with Corbulo being the leader. As long as I get to "rule of cool" my way through the ship with dual-wield power swords, I'm good to go!
Hey guys, I am going to need to step aside on this one. My account is still all jacked up and tech support hasn't been able to find the cause yet. Thanks for the chance, but I am not able edit profiles, check PMs, access the better part of my account due to some glitch that won't allow to load. Sorry, but thanks.
If needed, I am more than happy to step in.
I can use Hektor or create an all new Librarian, whichever works.
I would prefer a librarian, 40k campaigns are so much more interesting when psychic weirdness is happening.

History:
Joshua grew strong in both mind and body, luckily being selected by the Astartes during one of their periodic “recruitment sweeps” only weeks before his latent psyker abilities manifested. He left with the chapter rather than the Silent Sisters on a Black Ship.
The next decades progressed quickly for the young battle-brother. After being inducted and transformed, his “real” training began: learning to harness the power of his mind and the energy of the warp to defeat the enemies of the empire. Having shown his mental fortitude and physical prowess, he was recently seconded to the Deathwatch to bolster their strength as well as to enhance his own experiences.
Quiet and intense, young Joshua studies the Codex Astartes whenever possible, referring to the wisdom of the Primarchs and attempting to infer the proper course of action through their words. Pale skinned, with close cropped blonde hair, Joshua’s blue eyes seem to pierce the souls of those he gazes upon.
The only thing I would change is that imperial fists recruit in the region of space around terra, which is far from the calixis sector.
Edit: get your power armour type and history sorted out, figure out what your 50 requisition is getting spent on then join the team on the Silence of Stars
Requisition: Red-Dot Sight (bolt pistol, 10); kraken bolts (bolter, 3 magazines, 15); demolitions charge (10); cluster mines (3, 15)
FYI: will be away for the weekend attending a wedding. Should be back online Sunday evening.
I am sorry to say that I am going to have to absent myself from the boards for awhile. Some real life things have come up, and I can't take the time to play or run any games. Sorry to let you all down like this. I have enjoyed playing with you all and hope my leaving won't be too much of an inconvenience. To those of you in my Skull and Shackles game I can't tell you how sorry I am to disappear on you all like this. I said I would finish at least the first book of the AP but it just isn't possible right now.
Sorry to see you go, good luck.
FYI everyone: I will be away in sunny Curacao from Wednesday the 25th until Wednesday the 2nd. I will have my phone with me, but since I'll be on my honeymoon, I don't know just how much posting I'll be doing.
Congrats on getting married!
Life takes priority over a play by post
Who is still on? I feel we are losing steam here...
A big thing came up at work that may require me to travel for a few days. I may not be able to post until sometime next week.
I'm still here, Brother Corbulo!
Glad to hear it, Brother Vittore!
Do we follow with the people that is still here? Do we call it quits?
Running a deathwatch campaign with only 2-3 people would be difficult. If you guys want to keep going I am willing to keep running it. I am kind of frustrated that everyone seemed so keen in character creation then several people dropped off the face of the earth almost immediately after.
Roll call!
I say that there are still 4 players, we continue. If less than 4, the Tau will win the day...
Im still here.
