Kill Team Epsilon Zeta (DeathWatch) Mission 1 -- Final Sanction

Game Master Radavel

The Watch Captain ordered your team to proceed to the Avalos system to link with Inquisitor Kalistrade and eradicate the genestealer infestation there. The Imperial Sword class frigate Valiant stands ready to bring you there now.

I am interested in playing familiar with the rule set and the universe.

How much background stuff do you want?

For Background, you just need to answer the question: why did you swear the apocryphon oath?

But that does not prevent you from adding other stuff. Those taking Deeds from Rites of Battle, however, would have to explain the reason for such.

Alright. let's roll first, then, and see what can be done :)

WS: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (9, 2) = 41
BS: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (2, 9) = 41
Str: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (1, 8) = 39
Tou: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (1, 1) = 32
Agi: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (9, 5) = 44
Int: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (8, 6) = 44
Per: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (1, 6) = 37
Wil: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (5, 1) = 36
Fel: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (6, 4) = 40

Really? Well, I'll have to think carefully where to place my reroll, since I was thinking Librarian, but that 1+1 in Toughness is so nice...
My highest rolls are 44, LOL

Edit: gonna reroll Toughnes... then let's see what can I do. Devastator is sooooooo dul... Librarian is down the loo with this Willpower. So probably Techmarine or Apothecary, or just plain Tactical.

Tou reroll: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (10, 8) = 48

Time to roll:

WS:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (8, 2) = 40
BS:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (9, 6) = 45
Str:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (9, 4) = 43
Tou:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (2, 8) = 40
Agi:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (2, 5) = 37
Int:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (3, 6) = 39
Per:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (3, 10) = 43
Wil:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (7, 3) = 40
Fel:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (3, 1) = 34

I am not sure which to reroll yet. I am leaning toward Assault Marine.

Rerroll: Agi:: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (10, 8) = 48

I've been wanting to get into some 40k games, so count me interested. Let's see what I roll up!

WS: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (4, 5) = 39
BS: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (8, 7) = 45
Str: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (7, 1) = 38
Tou: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (3, 10) = 43
Agi: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (2, 10) = 42
Int: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (1, 9) = 40
Per: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (8, 10) = 48
Wil: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (10, 5) = 45
Fel: 30 + 2d10 ⇒ 30 + (10, 1) = 41

Wounds: 18 + 1d5 ⇒ 18 + (4) = 22

I'm thinking I'll go Librarian. Always fun to try and play a Psyker in 40k

Thank you for the invite to the string Radavel. Here is Viluf as he currently is. I do not know what you want me to change to comply however.

And Viluf swore the Oath after losing his brothers in battle. The last of his kill team he left the Homeworld and swore the oath, choosing to live out his days and die as part of the Deathwatch rather than his home Chapter.

Um, Viluf I believe was made with 2,000 XP more (i.e. Rank 2). So you will need to delete some of the advances he has acquired in excess of the standard starting PC.

Just a reminder to all: you will be dealing with a genestealer infestation. Arm yourselves accordingly.

Okay, I think I managed to get the majority of his crunch sorted out, along with spending the XP and Requisition. Here is my Librarian of The Black Templars, Eridas Stormeyes.

Librarian of the Black Templars? ^^

Anyway, I'm finally cooking a Tactical Ultrasmurf, though I'm out right now so it won't be until the afternoon. Here are the secondary rolls, though:

Fate: 1d10 ⇒ 3
Wounds: 1d5 ⇒ 3
Power Armour History: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Hi Radavel, I have still got this guy from your solo chapter game that unfortunately didn't take off. Is there any space for him here? I can easily take off the extra cost if needed.

Black Templars don't have librarians. Perhaps a different chapter: Imperial Fists or Crimson Fists., or heaven forbid, a Soul Drinker ;-)

Same deal as Viluf. XP should be set at rank 1

So far we have a total of 5 players.

Einar - Wolf Scout
Viluf - LOngfang (Devastator)
Eridas - Librarian
Nohwear - Assault Marine
Jereru - Tactical Ultrasmurf

Apothecary is very much available.

Oh. It's written kinda confusingly in the CRB about what Specialties are allowed. Using 'Restrictions' makes it sound like only these Specialties can be part of this Chapter. Should probably put 'Banned' or 'Disallowed' or something.

And while the Crimson Fist sound cool to be a part of, I can't for the life of me find any tabletop info on them. The kind of write up that's int he Deathwatch CRB. All I keep finding is fluff and info concerning their units for use in the miniatures game.

Have you got Rights of Battle? The Imperial Fists are fully detailed and then there is a slight rule change further in to convert them to Crimson Fists.

Brother Gaius Cornelius (Jereru) ready for battle (though still some gear to pick and fluff to make).

One question: Do we have 65 Requisition Points to spend? If possitive, we do still need to fulfull the Renown, I suppose...

No I didn't have Rights of Battle. Was hoping I wouldn't need it. I found it on Scribd, and changed Eridas so he's now a Crimson Fist Librarian.

Yup you each have 65 requisition points. But you all must satisfy renown.

I'll get to changing Viluf up.

Good to have you at my back again Einar. Guess not all of Viluf brothers died in battle. ;)

Nohwear, how goes the assault marine?

Info on the Crimson Fists are also available in the supplement: Honour the Chapter. Note: Timeline-wise the game is set before the events of Rynn's World.

Final Note: One slot left, an Apothecary will help this Kill Team a lot ;-)

I would be up for throwing my hand in for an Apothecary, though I have no idea what Chapter. Possibly Dark Angels, or a successor?

WS: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (6, 9) + 30 = 45
BS: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (6, 2) + 30 = 38
Str: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (7, 10) + 30 = 47
Tou: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (10, 9) + 30 = 49
Agi: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (4, 10) + 30 = 44
Int: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (10, 2) + 30 = 42
Per: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (7, 9) + 30 = 46
Wil: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (6, 3) + 30 = 39
Fel: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (1, 4) + 30 = 35

Damn, low Fellowship but Intelligence is only average. Gonna chance it and go for a better Int.
Int Reroll: 2d10 ⇒ (9, 9) = 18

Wounds: 1d5 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
Fate Points: 1d10 ⇒ 2

I will try to finish him after work today.

Everything finished except for the Requisition (still picking grenades and special ammo) :)

In digging further into the Dark Angels, I have selected their successor chapter the Consecrators for my character.

Power Armour Mark: 1d5 ⇒ 4 only 1d5 as opposed to 1d10 because they can only have up to Mk 6 armour, and 6-10 on the chart generates mk 7 and mk 8

Power Armour History roles (2 for Mk 6 Corvus)
table selection: 2d5 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
2 = Battle Scars
3 = Legends of War

Table 3-11: Battle Scars: 1d10 ⇒ 7 Battered by War (+10 intimidate, -5 charm)
Table 3-12: Legends of War: 1d10 ⇒ 4 Emperor's Finest (+5 pinning, fear, command)

Ok, this is my avatar for my Consecrator Apothecary. Still working through filling in the avatar and requisitions. A little confused on requisitions as several of the other characters have weapons that require higher than base Renown rating. Care to clarify?

Also, going to take the Deed Initiate of Secrets. Just feel like you have to have that extra little Fallen Angel piece as a Dark Angel.
Insanity: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Some of that is just left over from pccrevious campaigns. And I are both downscaling our characters both xp and requisition. I should be done over the wknd.
@Radavel do our marines have any clue as to whether this likely to be ship based or planetoids? I have kitted up for Tyranids planetoids is all, but if they don't know and it turns out to be ship-based I won't be put out.

Since is redone to starting level. I haven't checked all the wpns against the errata yet, but I will on Sunday. Choices are done though.

Oh and my last post should say planetside, bloody autocorrect.

Gotcha, thank you for the clarification. At work tonight, will be able to finish character sheet after midnight.

The roster is full.

I will be putting up the discussion thread later.

Viluf should be fixed or mostly anyway.

[dice=Insanity]1d10

As per my earlier post, can you elaborate on how you acquired the Initiate of Secrets deed?

Oh dear did I REALLY just miss a Deathwatch campaign?! My favortie!

If you there is an opening or someone drops out I'd love to jump in.

...also we've had our devastator drop out of a Deathwatch campaign I'm playing here so if anyone is interested let me know.
