[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[A.T.]

I would be willing to offer you a needle precipitator and then feel free to research Dark Heresy for different toxins?

I think the microblast compound from Rites of Battle p60 is the only needle type that would work on tyranids? Would 10 requisition be enough?

 

(edit - that would be alongside the hellfire flamer and second chainsword, for 40 req total)

I could see Ghent overseeing the city's defences with Wrex, checking out the fleet assets and disposition aboard Locke's ship, or ripping out Desiato's guts getting Desiato to cooperate.

[Xin Ceithan]

Since Sabaan picked up the Armourer Trade, it seems fitting that the Techmarines bond while reforming Vaidan's armour!

 

And while Imstill gave to fill in that placeholder, I guess then it's going to be expanding the connections Sabaan made with the Mechanicus in the 14 days downtime ....

 

 

And I like the gyro stabilized Boltgun ..... some special,ammo might be neat. They Broodlord was not that impressed by the basic shells :(

Greysight imparts the hidden lore of his chapter with Atratus: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344357-blackthornswordhand-the-ties-that-bind/?p=5271570

[Steel Company]

Nine, that was an epic read, I love how much detail you've gone into with the Storm Sons.

[Steel Company]

 

For the 40 requisition:

 

2x Kraken Clips for Bolt Pistol (15)

1 X  Kraken Belt for Heavy Botler (20) -- this is for Akkad, but Tyber is picking up as both a joke and precaution in regards to his tendency to jam.

 

 

I'm not sure if you missed it CM, as you got MR's requisition that he chose after mine, but I've quoted it here for you.

[Commissar Molotov]

Updated to incorporate.

 

AT: I am very dubious about Atratus having a Bolt Pistol, 2 Chainswords, a Sniper Rifle and a Hellfire Flamer!

 

Xin: I have incorporated the Recoil Baffling and the Hellfire Rounds, giving you 35/40.

The renown 1 wargear options for an assault marine are unfortunately limited. There is the camo cloak but i'm not sure that'd work with the jump pack.

 

Without the flamer-

Chainsword -5 req

Ammo -? req

Mol, quick query on the Dataslate thread for Beregar - are there any outlying buildings/works we could plant demo charges in?  Like stuff them full?  Blow them up as the bugs come in?

 

MR.

[Slips]

Solastions 40 Requisition:

-Keeping his Diagnostor Helmet: 15

-Astartes Assault Shotgun: 7

-Slug Rounds x2: 4x2=8 (Assault shotgun has clip 20 so Im assume 40 slug rounds req'd)

-Leaper Mines x2: 5x2=10 (I assume its 3 mines per requisition)

Total: 40

[Commissar Molotov]

Mazer: If you mean within the districts, inside the walls? Possibly; I don't feel it's something I would need to detail specifically for you, but it's something that you could do feasibly and discuss with the defenders of the city. It would then be something I take into account when determining the outcome of battles (more on that later.)

 

 

Everyone else - I am enjoying reading your posts and looking forward to more! I anticipate being able to update on Sunday, so if we can get more in before then that'd be great.

[A.T.]

Perhaps Greysight can get a little sparring in and teach Atratus how to use all of those renown 0 power lances the white scars keep to themselves :p

[Steel Company]

CM, I'm going to edit my last post to expand on it, having had a little while to think on it... Dos, I might put some words into Ghent's mouth how ever...

 

 

Edit:

 

Expansion made to it:

I have to say, Steel, that I thought the first version of the post was far more elegant and superior. I don't think Ghent's lines add to your post, and if it is something about the Dragons you want to come out, you would be better served doing it in a dofferent place, later.

[Steel Company]

Okay CM, I can back it up to the older version.

 

Backed up to the first version.

MR.

[Morovir]

Placeholder updated.

 

Requisition:

 

Breaching augur - 28 (I think it is fitting given that they are going to potentially board a hive ship, as well as Teralil's history)

Auspex - 12

[Slips]

Oh forgot to mention, since i also took the Signature Wargear: Jump Pack, Solastion will be permanently requisitioning one of Swordhands Jump Packs. Ok, thanks, bye~~~!!!!

[A.T.]

On the subject of requisition - flamer with chain attachment rather than two chainswords. Still too much?

[Commissar Molotov]

Unfortunately, I think so. What with the sharpshooter rifle explicitly mentioning that it's 2 metres in length, I can't see a Marine carrying two two-handed weapons alongside his bolt pistol and chainsword. I can appreciate your frustration with the requisition, though. It seems to me one obvious option is to take Hellfire Rounds in your Bolt Pistol.

 

As a thematic suggestion, how about this?

 

You take the needle precipitator and look at the shotgun special ammo types on p.140 of Rites of Battle. Some of these could represent unusual and volatile crystalline compounds that explode or ignite. I would allow these to remove the Toxic trait from the rifle whilst firing these rounds?

Sounds good, I was just working through my options before hitting the ammo and grenades.

 

Atratus Req 40:

Chainsword (5)

7 clips of slug rounds (28)

Hopper mine (5)

Fire selector (2)

 

Can drop a clip or two if others need to requisition something big

[Mazer Rackham]

Going to add to the woes here:

 

If it's possible, going to change my Req from a Hellfire backpack to a Kraken one plus other bits and bobs...

 

Kraken Rounds = 15 + 15 (Backpack) = 30 Req

Astartes Chainsword (exchanged for Combat Knife) = 5 Req

 

Total = 35 Req and 5 left over for the pool.

 

Gear fit is now:

Heavy Bolter

Bolt Pistol

Chainsword

Flamer

 

Am open to thoughts?

MR, I thought the ammo belts for the HB were 100 rounds... did they get reduced in the errata? I got it wrong, book says 60 round belts.

 

I like Kraken for the AP 8 and 50% range boost when facing elite / masters personally.

Edited March 10, 2019 by Steel Company

[Mazer Rackham]

I'm fairly sure a standard "mag" for a HB is 60 rounds, or that's what I was going on...but considering they are each 1.00 cal, that's a hefty belt!

 

Having had a thunk, compared to Storm, Kraken really has no detriment.  Request updated.

 

Thanks Steel.

Hi all,

 

Keen to see some of those placeholders filled in!
