[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Mazer Rackham]

That sneaky so-and-so Ryken is up to something, keep 'em peeled. 

 

And yet....one other matter remains.  The Little Lion will not leave the Wolf for the crows or the ravenous gullets of the Tyranids.

Tyber works on trusting the squad with more about himself and his point of view on things.

Nice edit MR!

[Noctus Cornix]

I still don't have my laptop, but I'm gonna try to get a post off some time tonight.

[Steel Company]

Looking forward to it Noctus!

[Morovir]

Apologies for my absence these past few weeks - was swamped in exams. Now I'm relatively free, and so will get to a more regular posting schedule. I will put up Teralil's combat card information tomorrow.

Edited my combat card data, Mol. Just a couple of tweaks and additions.

Uh oh, I am late with my homework..I mean... combat stat write up.

Edit: Curious as to how Tyber is adding 17 to his Chainsword damage (1d10+3+SB) while effectively having less Strength than Solastion. Have I missed something?

Edited June 12, 2019 by Slips

[Steel Company]

Solastion, when Tyber is using Codex Feat of Strength he is effectively SBx3, his base SB is 5 currently.

 

 

Edit:

 

Unless you mean his arming sword...

 

Arming sword is 1d10+5 (lacks balanced and tearing) pen 3 SB5x2 for 10 +2 from PA makes it +17, the Chain Sword should be 2 points lower due to the slightly lower base damage.

Ah, I missed that you had calculated it with Feat of Strength active.

[Commissar Molotov]

So, as the brethren of the Deathwatch begin the final preparations of their defense, a few considerations:

 

• The Governor of Syndalla, Lord Vortis, has been thrust into power unexpectedly and needs support to ensure he can rule well whilst keeping morale high among the Syndallans.
• The commander of the PDF forces, General Wrex, has been shown to be ill-tempered and disapproving of the Astartes meddling with his forces. He also showed a lack of willingness to allow the System defense vessels to be placed under the command of Fleet-Captain Locke.
• When Greysight and Yeng visited Locke, they did perceive that something is troubling her.
• When Ghent and Montesa visited Desiato, they did believe that something strange and unusual was aboard the Rogue Trader's vessel, though he deflected any questions.
• The painting of the Dark Lantern was taken from the Governor's palace.
• Interrogator Ryken has not been heard from since shortly after the Broodlord was killed by Blackthorn.
• Brother Thorvald's corpse has yet to be recovered since he was lost during the descent to Syndalla.

[Steel Company]

If there is an excursion to find Thorvald, Tyber would be down for going on it or failing that picking the Crimson Fists' mind on the Dark Lantern would be fun, especially since Tyber thinks the Rouge Trader had something to do with the painting vanishing. Looking forward to the next update CM!

[Slips]

Ive just been super busy these past few days/weeks, hoping to get a worthwhile post in ASAP mainly to allow peeps to go on the hunt for Thorvald but being conflicted about not being able to go due to being basically in charge and not wanting to abandon his post.

[Mazer Rackham]

I think Akkad needs to prickle Wrex (shepherd) a bit more.

 

See where the cracks happen.

Slips - if Solastion doesn't go, it seems Apologist is willing to lend his scalpel..?

 

Steel - forget Autocannons, there's a damn NOVA CANNON up for grabs - obviously Desiato is a shady chap and must be investigated...perhaps if damning evidence was found on his ship...oh, like a dead Interrogator? 

 

MR.

 

Edit - Typo Begone!

Edited June 14, 2019 by Mazer Rackham

[Steel Company]

The Nova Cannon is great and all, but not exactly Astartes portable...

 

The Autocannon on the other hand, Tyber could be a Primaris Suppressor!

[Slips]

That was my thinking Mazer, that since he cant go that the other apothecary go to ensure that the geneseed is properly recovered.

[Steel Company]

To my fellow dads in here, I wish you a happy Father's Day (tomorrow for my North American brothers), I may or may not be checking in tomorrow...
