Out at photography ‘til tomorrow; will endeavour to get a post up on Thursday.

[Commissar Molotov]

No problem, Apologist - you're down the turn order anyway, so it'll be a little while before you have your action. (Though actions are somewhat limited in the early turns of combat anyway!)

 

For some reason the most recent page of the IC thread is blocked on my work computer (some word or another is triggering the content filter) so I will be updating on my phone temporarily and then I will see what I can do on my home computer.

[Commissar Molotov]

I've updated up to Yeng - the Kill-Team thus far has managed to take a hefty chunk out of the Cultists!

 

Thankfully it's also updated onto a new page!

[Steel Company]

So kind of neat off topic thing happened today, I accidentally got my Father's Day gift early.. a pair of shirts one with the Astartes symbol the other with a really gorgeous Dark Angels picture on it, with Legion Black Mk II/III helmet in bleached bone hood.... I'll post picks of them either from the site they came from or if I can figure out how to set up a gallery on the BC.

 

 

Edit:

 

 

The image on shirt 1, I really love this one.

Still have to figure out how to post the images I took with my phone and setting up a gallery for it... maybe this weekend if I get time....

I will be able to update Friday evening, but my usual Sunday update time might be limited as my wife's family are coming to visit. I will keep you all updated. Trying to push this thing forward!

 

EDIT: Friday evening updates will include map updates so people can visualise better.

Your efforts are appreciated, Mol. :tu:

[apologist]

Slight delay (sorry!), but I've got Yeng's actions in.

 

Mol, is there any way for Yeng to check whether his estimate that the autocannon crew are within 100m of his new position is correct, or does he have to shoot and miss next turn (as the boltgun's max range is 100m) to check the range?

Edited May 3, 2019 by Apologist

[Steel Company]

Apologist, boltguns can shot past 100m, you just take an additional negative to hit... I don't have the numbers on my phone at the moment, but I can get those numbers to you shortly.

 

Edit:

 

The numbers are as follows:

Long range 101m-200m is -10 to hit

Extreme range 201-300m is -30 to hit

 

This is found in table 8-4, page 247 and on page 248 in the Deathwatch core book.

*SNIP*

 

Ah, cool – ta! I thought that was rather short-ranged. I was picturing up to 300yds being a sort of 'effective' range, which seems to fit.

 

Hopefully Yeng's cautious advance has brought him within that magic 100m.

[Mazer Rackham]

@ Steel, you got some sweet duds there my man.

 

Some nice posts up from everyone, am catching up!

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

Awesome work everyone!

[Steel Company]

Thank you CM, but our work is only possible, due to the extraordinary work that you do.

[apologist]

Cheers Mol

[Dosjetka]

Huh. One of the Aberrants is close by. Do Montesa and Mariana want to carve up that meat-sack while I deal with Cultist group #1, Noctus?

We'll have to be mindful of group #3 though as they're not far behind.

[Commissar Molotov]

Apologist: Done. Just as a note (unsure how familiar you are with this, but) you may aim again as an additional half-action to gain a +20 BS before your standard attack.

 

I have updated up to Vorr to give Reyner a chance to update - if not I will move on through. Update possibly tonight, but if not then definitely on Monday. Hope all are well!

[Reyner]

Sorry guys been proper busy these last two weeks - I'll add an explodey update later :D can Vorr see the blob of cultists in the middle of the map? Or can he fire at the closer group without worrying about Solastion being a bit close?

[Dosjetka]

Not sure you'd want to fire in the middle group with Varvost in their midst. Or perhaps that's exactly what you want to do. :devil:

[Reyner]

Haha oops didn't see him! Bloody phone screen

[Commissar Molotov]

To be fair, you're not likely to injure Varvost unless you roll very well - 2D10X Pen 4 against TB8 and Armour 8/9 (down to 4/5) means you'd only wound him if you rolled 12/13+... that is your decision, though!

[Mazer Rackham]

Fire a Krak missile, that'll get him - oh, wait, you're NOT aiming for Varvost...oops.

 

Aberrant 2: Dodge.

Akkad: Heh, next one will get you.

Dodge.

Hmm.  Upgrades.

 

Got a plan.  Get Greysight and Sabaan to push the nearest container straight forwards 20 metres, then have Tyber slam it into the truck Solastion is pushing like a giant meat tenderiser.

 

Tyber may say "Dodge this" as he does so.

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

But MR, Tyber is going for that AC,for two reasons, one to silence it and secondly; he likes AC's...

[Commissar Molotov]

Steel - Varvost has already attacked this round, so you're free to attack the Abomination if you wish. 

[Steel Company]

Sounds good CM, I'll get something put together later... though I wonder what it is going to do for it's turn since it goes on 13 and Tyber goes on 12... Edited May 6, 2019 by Steel Company

[Mazer Rackham]

Might not help Tyber, but remember everyone, I am in Squad Mode and you may join Squad Mode immediately as long as you are within 30 metres. (FAQ 1.1, p4)

 

This may enable some options.

 

MR.
