[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Commissar Molotov]

Well, once the anti-air is down Sabaan can drop off the rest of you and you can assault the house!

[Mojake]

I've updated Achillion's psychic reading and have emailed Mojake.

Swordhanders, you can feel free to respond to Thorvald's observation - feel free to order Captain Rubio accordingly!

I will update regarding Blackthorn's assault element when Necronaut posts.

Steel - in your latest spoilers you say your bolt pistol is at 4/5, but the errata says a bolt pistol has a magazine of 14?

Currently making actual notes and annotations on these to try and guess what they represent. Does each triumvirate represent a single threat described by three cards, for a total of 3 extra threats, or are they separated and thus 9 extra threats? I've responded to the email too.

 

I feel like I'm way back in GCSE English Literature trying to work out the importance of having blue curtains in a room and how it represents sadness!

[Steel Company]

Working on it CM, hopefully Tyber's prize will be useful for getting the guns turned off or at least giving us access to the inside of the building.

[Petragor]

Posted for Swordhand, made sure to make the orders to approach such that they would minimize the chance of a surprise barrage from any direction.

[Necronaut]

@CM I fixed my post, removing the +10 for a standard attack (I was thinking of the Black Crusade ruleset).

[Steel Company]

Okay strike team, remember you can shoot through cover. :)

I've added my piece and hope that my initiative roll is done correctly?? If not I will obviously change.

[Steel Company]

Tbtl,

 

You should be rolling 5 + 1d10, in this case, you got a 14.

 

The other thing, just to keep the flow, we often do the crunch stuff (mechanics) in spoilers and in a different colour. I like to use green personally.

Cool, I fix that. How do you do a spoiler

[That Beyond the Light]

I'll fix the spoiler bit tomorrow morning on my laptop.

On a mobile it goes [ spoiler] [/ spolier]

 

 

Remove the spaces to make it work. :)

Posted for Swordhand again, set up Yeng to give his apothecarial assessment of the radiation. Does he even need to make a check CM?

[Commissar Molotov]

Yeng would know that most of you will have the Melanchrome (I believe that Kol doesn't - or that it doesn't work fully) which would protect you against some of the radiation. If your warplate is sealed, you should be fine. You may find, however, that some areas of the vessel are worse than others, and this will be a hazard you must contend with.

[Commissar Molotov]

TBTL - If Solza starts this encounter in Solo Mode he may utilise his ability 'Student of the Codex' (First Founding, p.73) - make a Tactics (Orbital Drop) test on your Intelligence of 46. You will gain 1+DoS re-rolls to tests in combat. (If you roll 46, you get 1, if you roll 36 then 2, and so on.)

[Lysimachus]

Couple of questions: firstly, do Swordhand also have a Stormraven or something to get over to the cruiser? (Or if it doesn't make any difference, could we pretty please have a Caestus instead? They are so cool!!!)

 

Secondly, just planning ahead, but would Titus' preysense sight be helpful for getting us around the radiation hotspots? I know its described as like thermal imaging...

Chaka's Auspex may be more useful for evading radiation, assuming he can succeed on the Tech-Use tests needed to use it.

[Mojake]

How do we want to work out the results of Achillion's psyker goodness. We've got the mechanical outcome, but do we want Achillion to make the post or Mol? Should I put a post inbetween? Kol doesn't necessarily have anything to say prior to hearing the results

Just waiting on some clarifications from Mol, then I'll put up the post. I'll interpret the cards, but you're welcome to throw your own thoughts in there in this thread!

[Mojake]

I've sent an email around to show my current interpretations as I still can't get the hang of images and tables on here. If you've got any ideas I'm all ears!

[Komrk]

That's one hell of an augury

[Mojake]

That's one hell of an augury

I'm probably way off with most of them!

[Petragor]

Looks quite good to me, but the advantages seem a little vague, and the threats all too pressing. Though I guess that's just 40K in a nutshell right?

Yeah I'm hoping that my Invocation test to decipher them may shed more light on the advantages.

[Commissar Molotov]

Mojake - replying to your email is the next thing on my to-do list - but your table has some impressively close assumptions (and a few wrong ones...)

[Mojake]

The thing is, tarot tends to refer to things metaphysical in nature rather than explicit things, and I'm not sure if it's the same in 40k. For example, the Silver Door could refer to a specific event such as a warp portal opening, but could just as easily represent a journey from which there will be no return or something philosophical like that.
