It was just, cos in our other game, we started in a thunderhawk crashing towards the planet and then discovered no one could fly it! I am pretty sure bayou is right though, normal flying doesn't require a test.
Sorry for the delay here too. All worked out just need a chance to type it up. Should be tonight or tmrw.
Probably going to go wolf scout and keep it all wolves, considering the deed of disdain 'gene seed anamoly' if ok with the GM which will get me the skill medicae. I figure it makes sense for a scout to know a bit about 1st aid.
GM, flavor-wise, which should I get: Avenger or Smite?
Re-reading Prospero Burns.
..Mk8
Roll any table
None shall escape the Emperor’s Wrath
Deed: Battle Damage (300xp) (Gives additional armor history of my choice)
Helm of Mordicus
Finishing details on all I need now. I think Armor was the last thing I needed to roll. Oh, and I'll change name of this Alias

I would go Smite. Lightning feels more appropriate for the Wolves.
Can everyone post their specialty. We need to get an idea of what we are looking at strength/weakness wise.

Note also I am taking: Reading and Augury to round out Ulf's psychic powers and they are kinda connected with his nickname "Second Sight."

Smite seems like the better choice flavor wise for a Space Wolf.
Poor Thousand Sons got a raw deal.

Sorry busy wknd, details going up tmrw morning.
No problem and thank you.

Hello all!
As I understand it you are already gearing up for the first mission. I don't mind sitting this one out and just monitoring the game play as I make my character - I did show up a little late after all!
If it's all the same to you, I'll wait for the role-call to get it's way through everybody and I can make something to sort of fit in with whatever seems to be missing. I'm more or less just excited to play and I don't much mind what sort of role I take the mantle of!
Greetings brother!
By Russ, welcome.
Hail wolf brother.
I'll roll some stats so I can at least get those out of the way:
And a Reroll
Whelp, no 50s, but with the reroll replacing the 33 I've got nothing below 40 which is good enough for me!
Vlka Fenryka!!!!
Well, considering that we havent yet started...
@Bilbo when do you want to have a get-go on the PbP?
otherwise if you manage to make it till then, everything is good :)
Seems like we are missing a couple of folks so, Volkner, go ahead finish your guy out.
The greater majority of your brothers are Space Wolves and a Storm Warden. Is there a Chapter you prefer?
Meantime passing the time with Space Wolf Omnibus :) Some great reading.
Any suggestion for Chapter Trapping for my Rune Priest?
That is literally the only 40K book I have read, is the Space Wolf Omnibus. Haha
No storm warden, just a black shield, former storm warden.
Trying to figure out requisition, we got any mission Intel? Considering jump pack but not sure if the environment will be suitable. Cartograph, pict recorder, and some melee weapon. Maybe missile launcher...
We gonna be planetside or on a hulk with orks and spores?
For wolf priest, there's a wolf necklace that gives you frenzy talent, but you can't use psy powers in frenzy or parry without certain talents.
Maybe wolf pelt, there are a couple, but only one available as a trapping I think.
Do we need to consider squad leader and oath now? Or wait till we get more mission info?
I would rather wait for a mission info (location, what exactly need to be done) etc before we grap oath
I need to look the mission info over one last time and will get you guys set with a brief and let you guys set you squad leader/oaths in the next day or two. Going to get all my materials in line the rest of the week with a goal of starting by Friday.
We will be making contact planet side on a Forest World.
Well I don't have a particular preference to any certain Chapter per-say; I like the Salamanders, the Lamenters, the Raven Guard, the Raptors and a number of other successor chapters.
In this case, I don't mind playing a Space Wolf since that seems to be the flavor of the game. We seem to be missing an Apothecary and a Techmarine; as a Space Wolf I couldn't be an Apothecary but could structure my character for gaining the Wolf Priest in order to fill the "healer" role after it becomes available. Another option is I could just play a different chapter and pick up Apothecary.
As for the Techmarine, they are convientent to have since they can really just crank through Tech-Use and have a few Lore skills, but I'm not sure how "necessary" they are.
What do you all think you would like to have to support the team?
I could be wrong but I think Erik is building to Wolf Priest
Take your pick, i have taken a deed that gives me the medicae skill, but i'm never likely to be much good at it (without the gear and advancements). I have an apothecary statted up, which i can play if people want(really don't mind myself), so really is up to you.
If you do pick apothecary, i will probably switch out the deed if that is ok.
Well, the first mission is "WAAAAAGH" according to "game name" heh :) So lots of orcies
For further if we all like it and keep going and Bilbo have patience and we overall... we all are having blast of fun :) I can only imagine we will maybe do other stuff also and who knows what we will be facing.
and as Viluf said-> Erik is going toward Wolf Priest rank but that will happen laaaaater in the game when we ever reach that point.
Just have to crank up some extra 2000 exp to get my Stats over 45 (Planning to get them around 50)
I could imagine a Techmarine would be super considering the possibilities but you decide
Not to let too many squigs out of the bag, but expect orks, Tau, and some Chaos action along this run. If things get real sideways, we can adapt. The loss of a gene seed is a terrible thing, but it happens. So long as you die well and can be recovered....there is always the "honor" of being placed in a Dreadnought.

That would be fine.
"Wolves of Fenris, Assemble!!!"

"Ar ar ARWOOOOOO"
Grumbling slightly, Viluf pushes himself to his feet before strolling over to the assembly point. "Aye!"
"We shall wait for the other before we consult the bones (i.e. Augury)."
Grumbling louder and nodding, Viluf turns his head and spits. "Aye!"
I will get the first post up and get this thing soon, fellas. Volkner can get his guy together even after first portion comes on line.
can some1 post the updated stats for bolter and force sword??
m in the office with no access to the books.
Check my alias Castil, he's got it all.
As far as arming goes, you will have the opportunity to adjust if necessary after the briefing.
Hump Day Surprise. Campaign just went live.
@Bayou I finally got a bit to look over several books and came up with some good stuff for your Black Shield. I will PM you to keep the mystery of your fella secret.
If anyone has any character changes they want to make, you have until you leave the Watch Station to do so. Your final arming will take place before making planet fall.
@Stormson, did you see there is a special talent for Deathwatch Scouts? I will need to look for it again to see if it would be of use to you, but saw it in passing this week before you had decided. Also, several sharpshooter/stalking items.
@Volkner
How is your guy coming along?
Chainsword-10
Missile launcher-10 (4 each krak/frag)
Stalker Pistol-10
Jump pack-15
Inferno rounds-free clip from tactical Marine specialty
Cartograph - 5
Could change, but pretty set. Campaign up, gonna check it out.
Will this be our first mission together as squad? We know each other? Wolves might, but am I known? Any past meeting?
Yeah I didn't even ask that. Either is good with me. Some of us could have known each other at least.
Being Black Shield I doubt they will know too much about you, Bayou. But, that is up to you. I would say the Wolves will all be acquainted given the closeness of that Chapter, though it will be the first mission for you all as Deathwatch members....you will have all worked together training up as a kill-team on second thought. So, yes, you are all acquainted.
Military units do not just send people from other random units to handle special missions, especially elite ones. While some unknowns will remain, the unit should be working together pretty well by now.
