[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Commissar Molotov]

Apologies, I have amended. I've also added in a little narrative. 

 

Reckless Charge is a Squad mode ability. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Nice updates Mol :)

 

Quick query GM, are the crew of the Medusa classified as individual crew or a Horde?  Not asking for "game" advantages, I could do with knowing for the mechanics sake.

 

@ everyone you're all in support range of me now, as per errata you can join squad mode for free immediately.  Maybe Vaidan could stick his flamer out of the gunner/driver access hatch and set the horde on fire whilst Xin runs them over? :D

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

The Heavy Weapons Crew I just counted as one twenty-wound "individual" - the rulebook suggests 10 wounds for a heretic, so I went with that. 

 

The crew of the Siege weapon are separate from the weapon itself, so can be sniped/killed, though I would perhaps consider it a "location" on the Siege Weapon, requiring a called shot (which the heavy bolter can't do). Let's say a 25% chance of hitting the crew (three 10-wound individuals) if you're firing from the rear of the vehicle.

[Mazer Rackham]

Sounds good Mol, appreciated.

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

Corrected my last post as I made a mistake in not counting the Strongpoint bonus. It means that Vaidan's Heavy Bolter did actually hit.

[Mazer Rackham]

I think it's that kind of day - guilty here too ;)

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

Is the bolt pistol intended to be your reaction in Round 2 before your turn? In which case, you could put up your actions for Round 2 also, as you go before Sabaan does.

[Mazer Rackham]

It is, the Reaction can be used at any point besides your own turn IIRC, and since Hordes can't be dodged anyway...took the risk :D I was going to be cheeky and ask if I could do it for Round 1 as well, but that would have been a stretch!  I'll go ahead and amend the post with my Action for Round 2.  Cheers GM.

No problem about the squad mode / solo mode thing CM, I was just wondering as it seemed way better than any solo mode in the books. :)

[A.T.]

Don't regret picking up assassin strike - being able to hop 14m as a free action with the pack is all kinds of useful for positioning and tying up targets.

[Steel Company]

Nicely done A.T., but how did you know Tyber was going to take one of the stubbers and open up on the horde from above, before turning in on the crew compartment of one of the Medusa's...

Mixed up marines :p  All adjust the post as required after Tybers action.

[Commissar Molotov]

Steel, if you can get a placeholder post (or make me aware of your intent in here) I can get a mid-round post up so that it's before Sabaan. 

[Steel Company]

Place holder up CM, Tyber is going to move to take a heavy stubber and try to place himself into a good position fire down into a horde or Medusa's crew area, trying to walk the rounds between the three crewmen back there. Edited December 23, 2018 by Steel Company

Updated. Xin, I am happy for you to move the Chimera and to run over the final member of Horde 2 with no rolls or tests required. The flesh is weak, after all!

Mol, with your permission, as Atratus goes before me, seeing him drop onto the Horde, then the Medusa, as the last action of my turn, I would like to use a Free Action to Call Target onto the Horde to his right, in front of the building with Tyber on it, trying to cover him and work with his actions?

 

Nice! @ AT

Along with MR's request, could I also ask the damage and RoF on the stubber so that i know what to roll should I generate any hits with it?

[Commissar Molotov]

Mazer - you are free to call a new target, though I'm unclear which you mean. 

 

Steel: 

 

The Heavy Stubber is 100m -/-/8 1D10+4I Pen 3. Remember it is not designed for an Astartes, though. 

 

Per P.161: 

 

Poor Manual Dexterity: While protective, armoured glovesare not ideal for fine manipulation. Delicate tasks suffer a –10 penalty unless using equipment designed for Space Marines. Similarly, ranged weapons other than those of Astartes design are too small for an armoured Battle-Brother to wield at all.

 

 

I am willing to give you a -20 (which will counteract the +20 for Full-Auto Burst) however.

[Mazer Rackham]

Thanks Mol.

 

I'm guessing it's Horde 3?  The Horde I mean is the one directly below AT and the Medusa he's on, in front of Tyber and Varvost's building perch, if that helps?

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

Yeah, that's Horde 3. Fine with that on my end.

[Steel Company]

Works for me CM, the -20 seems more than fair.

[Commissar Molotov]

I'm happy for you to have Tyber breaking the stock off or ripping the trigger guard away - whatever you think would be narratively cool. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Steel just put the bullets in Varvost's mouth and whack the back of his head, then it's Astartes equipment and narratively cool! :D

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

I'll put something together CM, once I'm done the weekend grocery shopping.

[Xin Ceithan]

Nice workable around !

 

Updated. Xin, I am happy for you to move the Chimera and to run over the final member of Horde 2 with no rolls or tests required. The flesh is weak, after all!

 

Don't mind if I do. It's a bit literal, but sometimes you need to drive the point home ;)
