[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Noctus Cornix]

Noctus: Good post, I will be emailing both you and Slips to try to advance. 

 

Mazer:

For narrative expediency, I need Ryken to still have the rosette - you will have the opportunity to get it back very soon.

 

Yeah, Montesa could use a good swift boot in his ass.

 

 

Also, Mol, I just finished fixing Montesa's character sheet in regards to his purchase history and stats. I'll need to sit down a bit later and write down the psychic powers to go with it. I'll pull out my big ol' books a bit later so I can transfer that information. 

 

 

Which reminds me, gents. I'm sure all of you are frequent visitors of the Warhammer Community page. For those of you who aren't, The entire line of Deathwatch RPG books are available on Humble Bundle for as little as $18 dollars. So if you lads happen to need copies of any of the PDFs, now's your chance! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/05/07/a-humble-warhammer-takeover/

To be clear, Ryken's proposed plan is not intended to kill the bio-ship, but rather to poison it so that it's easier for you all to board it and kill it from the inside!

Gonna have to go back inside?....

 

I'm hesitant to imagine how Montesa's going to react to that... Either he's going to dread returning to that place, or there's going to be absolute Hellfire in his wake. We'll just have to see how that transpires. 

[Xin Ceithan]

Poor Akkad. We knew him well....

 

Why is all I can think of suddenly the picture of him standing on a heap of dead xenos amidst the pool, yelling "Made it Lufgt, ya bastard! Top of the. World! "

 

Edit: that is ... the idea is to drop him as single runner with the toxin and the Stormraven provides covering fire ( and hopefully pick him up,again afterwards ? Just checking before writing something...

Xin: that's right, feel free to write what you wish (or pop a placeholder post up!) - consult the data slate threads for Spearcast's armament should you need to.

[Xin Ceithan]

(placeholder)

 

 

(OOC:) Spearcast rises and begins circling the area. The idea is to keep turret and or character heavy bolters to cover Akkad, using the front mounted assault cannons to engage targets of opportunity AWAY from the objective for distraction or AHEAD to clear up some space. Think circling helicopter more than cruising gunship. Sabaan will also track and log Akkkad's position for recovery / geneseed retrieval. [sp

LET THE (END) GAMES BEGIN.

[TechCaptain]

I hear that Chapter two of this epic Deathwatch play is about to end. Is there opportunities to Join in Chapter 3? I would like to use Apothecary Ian Creiche and build him up more, as I built him for a different Deathwatch Campaign using the Raptors Chapter Rule set. (It was the closest I could find to represent Bloodmoon Hunters.)

[Commissar Molotov]

Hi TechCaptain, 

 

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm! We are moving towards the final act of the Chapter, which will be the assault on the hive ship. However, I still anticipate this may take a month or so! The best thing to do is to stick around and participate in threads like this. Many of the players in Kill-Team Swordhand, who entered in Chapter 2, were fans who were inducted in. 

 

When we get to Chapter 3, I will ask for new players if we have space. 

 

Hope you're well, 

 

Mol.

That looks decent, but I think are soft on more generalists (Tactical Marines) at the moment. We've got at least two of every class right now, but a third tactical would be a welcomed addition.... unless you are looking at crafting bio weapons with it?

I am looking to making him eventually crafting specific bio toxins to use with a sniper set up. 

[Steel Company]

Our Raptor sniper would love you for that... he uses a sniper rifle despite being an assault marine.

[Commissar Molotov]

As I said, hold off on character creation. Especially the case when incorporating DIY Chapters into our shared canon. 

[TechCaptain]

No problem. This was just what was on his old sheet. I figured I would have to remake him.

 

Right now is research and material grabbing.

Of course, delivering the toxin to the digestion couldn't be plain sailing. :rolleyes: :lol:

[Nineswords]

Greysight would like to do a test to catch the canister. If we don't catch it and the arming mechanism breaks or it gets swallowed by a passing hormagaunt, we're completely wide open with nothing to show for it.

[Mazer Rackham]

I'm on it.

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

At the moment you can't see it - it will be perched perilously close to the edge of the pool no doubt...

[Commissar Molotov]

Not sure what happened to the formatting in this post..!

 

Hi Akkad, 

 

I can't fully resolve combat yet as I want to give a grace period for the players to decide whether they want to up their initiative. 

 

Just as a note: 

 

- Akkad does not see the canister at all, so if that would affect your actions, please feel free to alter them. 

- Akkad activated Burst of Speed before the Mawloc jumped him, but as Burst of Speed says "once per game session", I would disallow him immediately exiting Squad Mode to reacquire his Burst of Speed. 

-I'm also happy to assume you recover your Wounds immediately after recovering from being Stunned. 

 

Let me know if I've missed something!

[Xin Ceithan]

Sabaan will keep up covering fire (feel free to roll as usual)...

If Greysight is going for the Canister, he might be able to keep the itch to launch a missile or two in check for a turn or two....

[Mazer Rackham]

GM, understood, will amend as required.

 

EDIT:  Going to hold off until the others post.

 

FYI team, my Heavy Bolter is on board the Spearcast.

[Commissar Molotov]

Mazer - I had some issues with my last post in this thread; I have edited and hopefully that's come through to you. I have assumed you're still activating Bolter Assault and have rolled Nineswords' dice for that. 

 

Once we've sorted things I will attempt to reconcile everyones' actions. 

 

Xin: Greysight isn't leaving the gunship, so that gives you choice as to whether you want to use your heavy bolters or the bloodstrike missiles.
