=5 nice! Mark 6 Corvus (seems fitting!) Choose any Battle scars Gauntlets of Xirion: Mk 4 Gauntlets, AP7, +10WS, +5Fel with anyone loyal to the Imperium. Blood of those who came before: +10 to pinning tests
How many are we aiming for in the squad Radavel?
Yeah, that sounds a tough group to stand out in. I think you have to pick your character on what else is being played, at some point an appropriate spot will come available for any character you have. I knew someone playing a raven guard techmarine in a previous game and they were really effective.
Ok, so no one steals my idea, I'm going to put together a raven guard librarian. Loving the idea of the first thing the enemy knows of his presence being a force sword through the chest!
Marines know no fear surely! But more seriously why give yourself the extra effort and it could drastically change your character , so I wouldn't. Plus it is better for the story basis.
If I am rolling up a different character, I will probably need a new spread as it will affect my character so here goes!
Hmm fairly average, above average AG, BS and Per. It's asking for another scout!! No seriously I will have a think. Something shooty no doubt.
Hi Ducki,welcome I'm from the first attempt, but I'm not sure how many others are making it across (obviously Gaius and Radavel) as there were some posting issues and we didn't make it very far. I understood it that parry and dodge weren't opposed, but happy to play as Radavel sees fit.
Sorry, quick question. Is it ok to use First Foundiquicor the successor chapters in Rites of Battle? I'm possibly thinking White Scar, or even a Mortifactor (could be fun having ultramarine squad patterns, but being looked down on by Gaius) but if you would rather keep it core, that is fine too.
Oh and thank you. It is about time I made an honest woman of her after 12 and a half years!
No problems, I will have a think, something more chatty this time I feel. I would quite like to play a librarian I think, but I will see what comes up from everyone else and fill the appropriate gap as needed, if they get in before next week. I feel Einar had better have died amongst a mountain of chitin and bone, or maybe he is still out there lost behind enemy lines!
Reporting in, excited.
That's a shame, I was rather getting in to Einar's character and the game. I enjoyed the roleplay and the way you were running it Radavel. Thanks everyone, I hope we can play again soon.
With 2 approaching him, Einar, takes the opportunity to catch both (and any others within range) with a grenade, before straightening and loosing a short burst of fire at the most wounded genestealer. simple fail
1dos
As they had approached the bastion, Einar had holstered his weapons, readying his bolter to defend the walls. Now as the genestealers race through the gate he drags his chainsword out and flicks his bolter to hellfire rounds.
Used to, both 40k and fantasy, still have the minis. Don't really like the way a lot of the new stuff has gone (although the Heresy stuff looks awesome!) So when I do playhwhich is now very rarely, it is an older version. Gonna have to try and find a copy of The World Engine then! On a separate note, apologies my posting is a little slow at the moment, I will get a proper post up tomorrow. I get married on the 30th, so posting is likely to be a bit slower until then. Please bot me if needed, although I will try.
The dead piled around them, Einar salutes the space where Reinald had fought. This duty done he checks his weapons and reloads. Happy that he is ready for the next encounter, Einar rummages in his webbing, applying salves to the various claw marks that are already beginning to seal up, however he unable to reach the worst of them.
simple fail 5dos
2dof Continuing his fight with the genestealer, determined to bring it down, Einar swings again. However this time it is easily parried by the genestealer 's claws.
What do you mean 2? We are still waiting on Reinald.
I'm really enjoying the way this is run and we seem to have a good collection of roleplayers. I'd like to give it a bit longer if that is an option. Maybe a PM chase?
Rolling clear as the genestealer springs to it's feet, Einar rises to one knee and swings his chainsword at the creature's leg.
6dos sight or 4dos smell/hearing
Einar fires a short burst of semi-auto fire from his pistol, but ducking return fire throws his aim.
Not one who normally partakes in team displays of bonding, Einar is however fully aware of the power of fear. As Gaius calls his battle cry, Einar lifts his head and howls. Revving his chainsword he charges forward, loosing a storm of death ahead of him.
1dof unless modifiers.
4dos
"Negative on the signal interception, I could creep closer and overhear conversation though. Be aware these are Hybrids, no longer human." Einar flicks his round selector to Metal Storm rounds and checks over his chainsword, refraining from firing it up until stealth and surprise is gone.
Sorry Leonadist, just trying to play up to Einar's low fellowship. Didn't really mean to bite your head off (well Einar did, but you know what I mean). Also noticed, if that ammo is for your bolt pistol, then clips are half the price. Couldn't see that you otherwise had a bolter to fire them from.
This is why I don't like packs! There is a time for fury and this is not it. That Son of Sanguinius will get himself killed and us too! "Blood Angel, I lead and then you sweep past and kill them all! Will that calm your fury?" Pistol and sword drawn, Einar will head for the beleaguered guard at double pace. Fast enough to be stealthy and fast enough to be useful. 1dof
Suspicious as always Einar's weapon remains trained on the newcomer.
1dos smell and hearing, 3dos sight. " I can't see signs of Eridas, they just stop! Something doesn't smell right, look, over there!"
Ahh Binerith, come on down and join the 'nid killing party! Fadil here! We can always use a frothing at the mouth, sword wielding crazy! :)
Arriving back at the pack to ensure the threat has been removed, Einar scans to check they are all present and unharmed.
Followed the link and now want to be! Don't have the cash right now though
A timely glance back at the squad as he scouts ahead, gives Einar a glimpse of the purply-blue exoskeleton of a genestealer moving in on his wolf-brother. As he brings his pistol to bear, Viluf opens up with his heavy weapon. Realising, stealth is lost, Einar flips to normal rounds and aims carefully before placing his shot.
Noting the close quarters of the urban environment, Einar draws his pistol and chainsword, thumbing the fire selector to stalker rounds.
[ooc] 1dos for sight (assuming still night) 1dof for smell and hearing.[/dice] 3dof
I'd agree recruit a new. We haven't got far, so wouldn't notice too much. The librarian only matters for the same reason as a techmarine i.e. if you have written material that is going to need knowledge of the Immaterial.
"Much though I love the hunt, I agree, it is a known location rather than hunting for shadows, and they need help here."
"I have here a Cartograph with the planet's maps uploaded, can you identify last known locations for the Astropath, any isolated loyalists and any sightings or suspected locations of the Broodlord?"
I really hate that! Almost enough to make me curse the Emperor and his progeny!
Einar quickly reloads his weapons, stowing his sniper rifle he then checks the transponder location against his cartograph.
Use agility. Sorry was away from my books yesterday. If you look at the grenade part of the Armoury chapter (page 151), there is a sidebar on throwing grenades. Why not in the rules section, who knows! Basically it is a BS test, on a miss it scatters (roll 1d10 against table page 248).If it 'jams' roll 1d10, 0-9 is a dud and nothing happens, 10 it explodes centred on you. scatter table roughly translates as 1= NW, 2=N, 3=NE, 4=W, 5=E, 6-7=SW, 8=S, 9-0=SE
"Indeed brother marine, you are a swift fighter"
"Message received! 10 dos =max 4 hits.
Keeping his breathing steady, Einar let's loose another accurate burst of fire.
Well we have an Apothecary, librarian, devastator, tactical marine and Scout, as long as there isn't anything too techy we should be ok, but really don't mind if you want to get someone else in as well.
I think even 2 hits like that would very nearly kill me? 1st meaningful wound works, it is pretty much 1st blood as well, so seems fitting. Grr that means I lost to both a Son of the Lion and an Apothecary, oh dear! I think I would always have struggled to beat your swift attack.
I had forgotten that, whoops.
