Reyner - Swordhand will always have been Kill-Team Secundus, I've just not put it down until this Chapter. I've been re-reading the Deathwatch codexes for more background information on the layout of Azurea. 

 

As to the cough - easy enough for us to say that there's some lingering damage from inadvertently inhaling Tyranid micro-organisms. Yeng was able to banish them through the use of contra-septics and xenocidal unguents, but you are still recovering. 

 

EDIT: 

 

Necronaut - my intention is that Helgrim and Achillion cannot be the Watch-Sergeant, as they are attached from above. (That is not to say you might not take command of the mission, when you are deployed.)

Cool that's what I figured.

so Ekieo is one of the Tac specialists in Blackthorn. He is a veteran of the Watch and im lost as to where to go from here. How is Blackthorn choosing its Sarg? Ekieo was a sergeant in his Chapter the Black Consuls. Im not putting him forward as such because it might be an interesting dynamic if he wasn't. Any Blackthorn Tacs want to interact or seasoned players want to give an idea?

Lycus is also a tactical, and a former Sergeant, but I have in no way built him (talent wise) as a people person. He is a killer first are foremost, as the Emperor intended, but he is not above stepping if he felt it was required.

 

I'm gunna wait and see how it develops, but I'm not expecting Lycus will get the nod. (Not that that's a problem of course :) )

I'm happy for Ekieo to take a back foot and let the already established members of the station to lead whilst he watches from the outskirts, observing I order to improve. He will have his time to shine and show his chapters skills/his own veteran watch experience.

I'll read the story thread tomorrow and probably write an interaction after that

So, any ideas as to who should lead Swordhand? Not Chaka, it isn't really his specialty, at least not beyond Void Engagements.

My feeling (basically as per Titus comment) is that it makes sense to be a Tac Marine, which means either Titus, Vorkys, Gideon or Argus. Argus at least has exp as a Sgt... but he's brand new to the Watch, which feels wrong to be put over a squad immediately? Titus wouldn't want it, he feels he's more useful out on a flank or something. Gideon or Vorkys could do it, but Titus goes for Vorkys because he's more of a strategist, and known to members of Swordhand and Gallowbane.

 

All of that said, I don't think it has to be a Tac Marine, so an original Swordhand-er definitely could do it... although (no offence Reyner!) putting Vorr in charge might be scary... :D

I think Vorkys sounds like a good idea, Chaka has met and spoken with him before, and seen his strategic mind on the Regicide board, so he would vouch for him as well.

At least you know his orders would be simple, kill 'em all! Fire everything! High explosives solve all of life's problems.

As a wise man once said: There is no such thing as over kill, only sufficient force.

Mojake/Apologist: One idea I had was perhaps that Achillion, in his customary haste to wage war in the Emperor's name, begins putting the Kill-Team through more and more punishing drills, forcing Yeng to intercede? That might be an interesting interaction.

I like this; but to keep it more in line with Achillion's chapter demeanour, instead of making the drills more punishing, he'll just be relentless in pushing their stamina to the limit, not allowing enough breaks and insisting they continue training beyond even what an Astartes is capable of.

 

Does that work for you @apologist?

Fits my idea of your Chapter they were always my favourite Blood Angels successors. Relentless crusaders who aren't really crusaders they just fight and fight and fight.

I'm glad you think I'm doing them proud!

It's late here and I stupidly posted my update as a new post instead of updating my placeholder. I'll fix it now - sorry for clogging the thread with removed posts Mol.

 

If any of my post doesn't work with what you guys are expecting, please let me know so I can edit.

Double post, Emperor forgive me.

 

Updated my placeholder partially. Working with @Ancient_Sobek in PMs to hash out Pyke and Incariel's interactions, but for now I felt the need to urge things along and keep the flow going.

 

As I said in my previous post up there, I'll have a follow up with reactions, a few rolls and a little teambuilding roleplay at my earliest convenience.

I agree that Argus would be reluctant to lead when he knows so little about the others. I think he would defer to any of the other tactical marines or even the codicier.
