[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Xin Ceithan]

Placeholder edited .... hope this is enough to work on towards the next update?

[Mazer Rackham]

From house Qurn eh?

 

Why am I not reassured...?

[Steel Company]

MR, you know I think the drumming of Heavy bolters might me the right way to respond to them. ;)

[Mazer Rackham]

Dunno Steel, we could be into "Where Eagles Dare" territory here.

 

Although Clint Eastwood does do a lot of dakka in that film... :D

So I was flipping through my hard copy of RoB today and got to the entry for Imperial Guard Armourd Transport assets on page 218 and I just about spit out my coffee at the time.

 

Multi-laser: 250m -/-/10 3d10+3 E pen 4

Heavy Bolter: 200m -/-/10 2d10 x Pen 5 tearing

 

I mean what in the name of the Lion! That thing got a hard nerf come Only War.....

[Commissar Molotov]

Well, once you get to the stage where you're facing off against a Carnifex it might matter, but for now I think it will kill most things dead regardless...

 

Reyner: - Still need your Willpower roll, unless you want me to do it for you.

 

 

[Reyner]

Ah sorry Mol thought I had done it, clearly I forgot to click reply on my phone before closing the B&C tab :D 

[Mazer Rackham]

Not sure if Sabaan has relayed his comms with Vortis yet, but Xin did say he would patch us in, so dunno, but what do we think gang?

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

My preferred outcome would be to have Xin relaying what Vortis has said to you - but that's obviously an additional time constraint. I will be attempting an update tonight. I'm keen to move things forward to the next event!

[Steel Company]

CM, I agree about what our Chimera can and can't do at the moment, I doubt the guardsmen have anything with them that would be a serious threat to armour 30+ on the front.

[Mazer Rackham]

Maybe we can have Sabaan cut bits off the Chimera we don't need and make them into boarding shields when we find the Broodlord?

 

We can just get a Taxi to the Spaceport...

My bad. I thought it clear that Sabaan is relaying the vox feed to the squad ( at least those outside the psychic phenomena ) via squadvox since he isn't too keen on parley. Should have described that better.

 

I am patching something in...

[Mazer Rackham]

Well diplomatically speaking that went quite well, all things considered.

 

Good work guys :)  Where do we hit next?

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

To an armoury or munitions depot perhaps?

 

Granted the kit might not be up to our standards, but resupply of basic explosives / out fitting our allies might be useful to us... or we could just go hunting for rebels to murder, perhaps we will get lucky and find a Gene-stealer or two...

[Mazer Rackham]

So we roam the city like a Quick (well medium) Reaction Force, killing and murdering and fighting as we please?

 

I knew it Steel - you ARE a murder-hobo! 

 

Me likey.

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

I am not a murder hobo... Tyber is an Astartes that really doesn't like those that turn against the Imperium.... And some of the trouble on this world are likely just that and not xenos scum...

[Commissar Molotov]

Well, you may not be finished with the astropath just yet... 

 

Also, you may wish to get in touch with some of your contacts around the city... 

[Reyner]

Khyber wanted her to try find the Broodlord - once we get that done then we can start clearing the city :P 

[Commissar Molotov]

I will be able to update tonight, and will fill you in!

 

(Realistically we are in the last 25% of the adventure as I have it planned. I see two main combat encounters before the end.)

I recently put out an advert on Instagram looking for more players. As I begin to look forward to the second "episode" of Blackthorn, I am keen to expand the roster. If you are reading this and are interested, or know anyone who is (or are a current player interested in a new character - Reyner, you might well be) then let me know!

[Reyner]

I'd be happy to carry on as Vaidan unless Dos wants him back then I can make a new character :) I do like the look of either a Librarian or Devastator if I'm honest!

GM Attrition Rating confirmed!  We're all going to die!  

(I am j/k) (maybe) (well actually no).

 

@Reyner the bang for the buck of a Dev is phenomenal.  Just don't get into Close Assault, although I plan on making some Tetragrammaton Gun-Kata shenanigans.

Looking forward to episode 2, very much so CM, it will be interesting to see how Tyber develops as both person and killing machine over time.

[Reyner]

The team is sorely missing a Son of Dorn... :P 

[Mazer Rackham]

I was looking at Imperial Fists, but went with Astral Claws for two reasons:

1 - I'd just finished my AC battle company, very much inspired by Noctis Cornix

2 - One Bug Mugger of a plot hook.

 

I have to thank again the rest of the team and our GM for running with it.
