Venulf's page

Venulf frowned a little as the battle plan emerged around him.

"Can anyone here fly one of the Xenos vesserls, because if the answer to that is no, then we're flotsum in space. We also need to know where to land that is close to the secondary objective, the leader of the rebels."

He looked over the schematics again but couldn't get any better ideas. He was mostly skilled in recon and close combat. Hit hard and fast then get out. While much of his time had been in the fleet of this chapter, it was really about getting from place to place and the odd boarding action against the renegade marines in this section. Those were a different type of combat to this mission.

He decided to let the more experienced tacticians of his squad tackle the plan. He would do his bit when the enemy were in sight.

Venulf frowned at the question, taking the time to think through the seriousness of the question. This was a veteran of the Death Company, someone who knew more about how this chapter and its idiosyncrasies worked than anyone in his new squad.

"I believe we're as ready as we can be, given the situation Honoured Brother. I have fought the Tau before, they are nought but strange creatures too reliant on their equipment to be true threats. Remove the technology advantage, and they fall like seal pups to the Ice Bear."

He smiled at the thought, remembering what he himself could do to an Ice Bear now he had taken part of the mighty Russ' own gene seed within himself. These Tau stood no chance.

Venulf nodded his head at each Marine in turn as they spoke. Even the Dark Angel had good points to make. Grudgingly he nodded his assent to the notion of tackling Tekor Prime first.

"If we're to take the Tau, then I agree with Adalricus' assessment. We take their ship first, close assault and boarding torpedos. Once we have that, the main force on the planets surface has no recourse to reinforcements, nor can the Xenos flee to their own systems before we can bring our might to bear."

He flexed the right arm of his suit reflexively. Despite almost 100 years in service to the emperor, the musculature of that arm still ached occasionally from the transformation caused by the Canis Helix. He needed to use it, and soon. It was the only way to help with the ache and bring his mind into focus.

Perhaps when the briefing was done and the mission decided, he and Adalricus would fight the ritual dual their chapters had completed since the days of the Primarchs themselves. Oh how he hoped it was so.

Venulf shifted his huge frame slightly as the briefing took place. He watched the scenarios with the keen mind of a brother trained to patience, yet he yearned to close with the enemies of the Emperor and destroy them with his fury.

As the name of the great enemy was invoked, the Space Wolf bared his long canines. Here was a foe his chapter hated above all others. Here was a true test of his strength and his faith.

"I say we travel to Parsai. Where the enemy gathers we need to retaliate with haste, lest its corruption seep so far that nothing is left open to us but annihilation of those involved."

Already his second heart was beginning to beat a little faster in anticipation of the battles to come.

"Brother Venulf reporting. Close combat specialist and bane to the enemies of the Emperor. May Russ and the Emperor Guide us."

Venulf smiles a toothy grin, showing his elongated canines, then listens intently to the discussion about Leman Russ battle tanks. Anything to do with the great Russ is worth paying attention to.

(Still need to put my equipment together. Will sort that between bouts of marking.)

Well, Venulf's profile is now updated to reflect stats, necessary rolls, the starting talents and skills and the stuff I spent the initial 1000xp on.

Haven't put in equipment yet. That's gonna have to wait till later I'm afraid. Apart from that, he's ready to go assuming I make the cut for the first 8.

cheers

ok some more rolls to get me into things

Fate 1d10 ⇒ 1

Wounds 1d5 ⇒ 1

Demeanour 1d10 ⇒ 6

Power armour history? 1d5 ⇒ 3

I think that's all for moment. I'll put him together on paper over the weekend. Try to get that transferred to character sometime soon.

If I create a PDF of my character sheet on paper and stick that in photobucket with a link here, will that work for you TN?

Cheers
