Apologies to all for my lack of posting. I was out of town over the weekend at a wedding.
[ooc]I'm confused. Do I need to roll a second Tracking test?
Quintus followed the Blood Angel, his bolter at the ready.
"What is our new destination, Brother Solar?
The Ultramarine gestured to the still smoking husk of a hormagaunt. "Everything about a Tyranid is dangerous. They are bred only for battle, with razor sharp claw, tooth, and acid blood. They come in countless hordes, ranging from blankets of ravenous worm-like creatures to monsters as massive and as deadly as a battle titan. They can come above, below, and behind with equal speed. They are never to be underestimated, Lanius. Even the small ones."
The sample taken, his narthecium began to process a virulent toxin. Quintus knew from experience that the process would take around an hour. He stood up and faced the younger Raven Guard. He chuckled darkly. Aye, Lanius. I have. You would do well not to underestimate them. Quintus eyed the Raven Guard's chosen weapon. You did well to bring a flamer. We will need it again before the day is done.
Give me a moment, brothers. I will meet you inside. Quintus crouches near the still corpse of one of the hormagaunts and begins to take a tissue sample.
Quintus rushes forward, chainsword at the ready.
Quintus brought up the rear with the rest of the Marines on foot, keeping a wary eye on the surroundings. His experiences against Tyranids had taught him that enemies could come from any angle, even from the sky or below the ground.
Back and ready to play, guys. Thanks for being patient with me.
Just as a heads up, Friday and Saturday will be difficult for me to post. I'm going to be out on a business trip for those two days, away from my computer. I'll bring my Kindle and try to post when I can, but I can't guarantee anything.
Quintus followed his brothers to the drop-pod bay, securing his newly acquired diagnoster helm to his tactical belt. Enemies of the Emperor would die this day.
Looks good to me.
If I were to buy a Diagnoster Helmet, how would that affect my armor history "Helm of Mordicus"? I'm assuming that it would have to be one or the other.
Ooh. I missed the Diagnoster Helm. I'd like that if we can manage.
Quintus's scarred face twisted into a grin with the mention of Tyranids. He hated all Xenos, as any son of the Emperor would, but the horrific race held a special place in his two hearts. Any day he could eradicate that scum would be a good one. Brothers, if I might offer a word of advice, during the Battle for Macragge we found that Metal Storm rounds made swift work of the scuttling hordes so common among Tyranids. If we can afford it, it would seem prudent to carry some magazines. I also support Brother Solar as the leader for this mission. We have all trained together and I think we can all agree that he seems the most able. Although he didn't let it show on his face, Quintus was proud of the White Consul. It seemed apt that a descendant of Roboute Guilliman would lead the first mission. He had no doubt that Solar was up to the challenge.
Brother-Apothecary Quintus, reporting. Quintus met the younger Marine's gaze and nodded. Indeed, Brother Solar. It is time we put our training to the test. |
