I need to get home and confirm in the books, but I am pretty sure gutter forged armour is from Dark Heresy 2.0.

Given that the "Judge's Carapace" published in Ascension is still armour 5, I would assume the average Arbite is not quite as heavily armoured. A solid option for not sacrificing your Agility would be Guard Flak Armour. Armour 4 (all), costs 300 thrones. Think about the Cadian IG armour - its basically what Arbites wear, and is common among Planetary Defense Forces and could easily be used for Arbites, especially say new recruits (we are Rank 1, after all). It also saves you 50 thrones, and comes standard with a microbead and gas mask/respirator, so you have more thrones for gear/ammo. Just a thought.

Nevermind, its from the Book of Judgement. Late 1st edition, but still 1st edition.

Vasyl's trying for mostly basic gear with a few choice pieces that may or may not be in the vault anyway.

I don't know how much I'll get to post this weekend. So gearing up might be done before I'm replying again.

I'm worried about the use of the word common if its in the mechanical sense.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

Yeah, we'll need something with a bit more punch than a standard lasgun to take down flyers.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

No, it was meant in the idea of 'How likely are a bunch of Judge Dread cops to have it?' than common item availability. So long as folks don't get creative in ways to grab a few thousand thrones worth of gear, of course.

If Gutterforged armour is about in the books, then yeah, it can be taken. That -15 agility will hurt.

@Lothar in the in game text, JonGarrett said the armoury was rather sparse, the whole precinct having been called into action, but their was some basic stuff, including plenty of ammo for all weapons, and some 'other things'. Then, in reading the full ooc statement, "Any common items the Arbites might have, with the exception of their armour, is also up for grabs." I take this to refer to what they typically have - so shotguns (pump, combat), several autopistols/stub pistols/revolvers/laspistols, batons/clubs, knives, shields, and possibly a couple autoguns or lasrifles. Plus the aforementioned ammo and possibly grenades (likely smoke & frag; possibly blind, krak, & stunner - though if so, in limited supplies).

While I would love a set of Malleus Terminator Armour, a Sanctified Lightning Claw, and a Storm Bolter, I don't think I am going to find it.

Nice. That sounds like a much better idea. Especially with the micro sad, gas mask and respirator. I’ll get the math worked out and will update accordingly.

Ah ok that makes things a bit easier.

That is all what I am taking from it, but obviously that is just my theory.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

Was Vasyl able to obtain a microbead? That will influence his opinion on team tactics.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Yes.


WS 39, BS 46, S 32, T 33, Ag 34, Int 28, Per 33, WP 38, Fel 31 | Wounds 17/17 | Armour All 4 | Fate 3/3

So as noted, this is the first time I've played DH... Given the tight quarters, and that I'm at the front of the pack, should I switch to monosword and laspistol, or stick with the big gun and switch if/when the battle becomes close quarters?


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

I recommend the latter unless it's incredibly close quarters. And the point-blank bonus for shooting under 3m but not in melee is +30, so still worth having the guns out.


WS 39, BS 46, S 32, T 33, Ag 34, Int 28, Per 33, WP 38, Fel 31 | Wounds 17/17 | Armour All 4 | Fate 3/3

Okay, good to know, cheers :)


As a note, I'd like to have Aenarius up front too. Point blank with a shotgun should be fun. Standing behind everyone else with a shotgun? Less fun.


WS 39, BS 46, S 32, T 33, Ag 34, Int 28, Per 33, WP 38, Fel 31 | Wounds 17/17 | Armour All 4 | Fate 3/3

GM, is it only one abreast, or can we go in double file?


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Double file should be doable.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Lug has decided to leave the game, and so his character will be making a dramatic sacrifice to save you all from explosions.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

Oh! Well, cheers Lug, and good luck in the hereafter!


WS 39, BS 46, S 32, T 33, Ag 34, Int 28, Per 33, WP 38, Fel 31 | Wounds 17/17 | Armour All 4 | Fate 3/3

Thanks Vasyl! Sorry folks, I'm pretty busy at the moment and finding it difficult to keep up with a new game and unfamiliar system. Give those blood traitors hell!


WS 41, BS 42, Str30, T30, Agi34, Int32, Per28, WP30, Fel37 Wounds: 8/13, TB: 3, Armour All: 4, FP: 1/2. Deathlight 15/18

Aww, well enjoy the games you are in. Hopefully you can get some grim dark goodness at some future point!


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Have fun and good luck.

Agreed, hope to play with you again someday


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

OK, to confirm before I continue - Praetus is entering the command deck, Vasyl is in the troop area, and everyone else is waiting at the manhole cover?


Moritat aspirant | WS 42, BS 35, S 34, T 33, Ag 41, Int 26, Per 34, WP 32, Fel 21 | Wounds 13/13 | Fate Points 2/2 | Armour 2/3 Body,Arms, Legs

:thumbsup:

Vasyl in the troop area, fairly close to where Praetus is. But looks good!


WS 30, BS 29, S 30, T 38, Ag 29, Int 36, Per 27, WP 32, Fel 35 | Wounds 3/12 | Fate Points 1/2 | Armour 3 All | Laspistol 30/30 | Lasgun 30/30 | Spare Charge Packs 4/4 | Insanity 6

Yup, while he is quite unnerved at the thought of a civilian handling the bomb, Heironymous is well aware of his lack of stealth.


Moritat aspirant | WS 42, BS 35, S 34, T 33, Ag 41, Int 26, Per 34, WP 32, Fel 21 | Wounds 13/13 | Fate Points 2/2 | Armour 2/3 Body,Arms, Legs

Will I need a WP Check to toss grenades into the command deck?

The Bloody Edge (Trait):As a result, they must pass a Hard (–20) Willpower Test to use any weapon lacking an “edge” in combat (thrown blades, knives and arrows are fine) unless they obviously have no chance of harming their enemy otherwise.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

I can't imagine a grenade qualifying as an edged weapon, no matter how you cut it - even shrapnel isn't always that sharp. Especially fresh from the explosion.


WS 40, BS 40, S 34, T 33, Ag 34, Int 36, Per 28, WP 46, Fel 39, AP 4 all, Wnds 12/12, FP 3/4, ShotLas 21/30oc LongLas 20/20oc Stub 13/13ms

Vasyl, while I would love for this to go as cleanly as possible, as the only target remaining is fighting Praetus in hand-to-hand, i am pretty sure there is a -20 to ballistic checks to hit him.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

Ah, I misunderstood how many had been killed already. A -20 it is then.


Moritat aspirant | WS 42, BS 35, S 34, T 33, Ag 41, Int 26, Per 34, WP 32, Fel 21 | Wounds 13/13 | Fate Points 2/2 | Armour 2/3 Body,Arms, Legs

Can I get a reminder of where everyone is?

I believe
P, V & H in the drop ship and the rest near the escape?


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Yup.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

Okay. The closest was my post here. Once Vasyl knew how far it was into the shuttle and to the cockpit, he had some frame of reference for how long it would take him, Hieronymous, and Praetus to sneak back out, and set it for that long.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

So what you're saying is that the explosives would have been set for about the time you guys left, and if it cooks off anything on the transport it would also catch the badguys?

...sounds like it was set to Dramatic Moment, yeah.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

Huzzah! :D

So, I've mentioned this once or twice in the main thread, but basically, I'm working about twice as much as I normally do. I'm actually disabled, legally, due to some damage to my spine, knee and shoulder, so it's really taking a tole. Normally I'd be OK...but I've actually been on an unusually busy schedule since December due to a run of bad luck and awkward holidays. This last few weeks have simply been the coup de grace.

The good news is I'm paid hourly. So this month, for example, my paycheck is half again as large as usual. Cha-Ching.

The downside is I am utterly exhausted, and it's started affecting hobbies such as RPing.

Don't worry, I'm not stopping or pausing the game. You guys are simply going to have to be a little forgiving if I'm not quite my usual post a day self, or I make an error.

Basically, if I screw up, be vocal. I'm not gonna be offended.

Killing your character in the next scene will be a complete coincidence, I promise.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

Understood. The heads up is appreciated. Take care of yourself.

Glad to hear the bank account is benefiting, but sorry that it is hitting you so heavily. We all go through difficult periods, and totally understand that RL takes priority over game. I am happy that you are keeping the game going, please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist as players!


WS 41, BS 42, Str30, T30, Agi34, Int32, Per28, WP30, Fel37 Wounds: 8/13, TB: 3, Armour All: 4, FP: 1/2. Deathlight 15/18

No worries, real life takes priority.


Male WS 33 BS 30 S 37 T 42 Ag 45 Int 36 Per 37 Wp 34 Fel 33 | Wounds 11/11 | Fate Points 1/4 | Init +6 | Armour 4 Head, Arms, Body| Armageddon 15/15, Orthlack Mark IV (12/12).

A heads up. Between Friday 1st June and Sunday 3rd June, I won't be available at all. My availability on the Thursday and Monday is also likely to be very limited.

So realistically, I'm not likely to post much from Thursday May 31st until Tuesday June 5th.

If the fight is continuing, Vasyl will switch back to armageddon and full round aim, single shot with manstopper rounds at the traitor marine.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Sounds good, thanks for the head's up.


WS 41, BS 42, Str30, T30, Agi34, Int32, Per28, WP30, Fel37 Wounds: 8/13, TB: 3, Armour All: 4, FP: 1/2. Deathlight 15/18

It'll be questionable if I'll be able to post this weekend either.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Goodness. Sounds like we should have a party.


I have found that I have to go to some national guard mandatory fun in June. From the 3rd to the 23rd I’ll have limited internet connectivity. While I’ll finally learn how to use an m249 light machine gun...it’ll limit my posting. My apologies in advance.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

Man, everyone's leaving this month...but have fun with big guns.


Male. Mostly. Human. Mostly. Archaeologist

OK, given the nature of this section (you guys are pretty much done with the Hive section, but the last hurdle will be a little more challenging) and with three people off in the world, we'll pause for a little while. Once we have four players again we'll continue.


WS 40, BS 40, S 34, T 33, Ag 34, Int 36, Per 28, WP 46, Fel 39, AP 4 all, Wnds 12/12, FP 3/4, ShotLas 21/30oc LongLas 20/20oc Stub 13/13ms

sounds good, Erkan is ready with for his one-shot of doom!

I have returned.
