[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Komrade_Atomic]

Ah, ok, thank you!

[Petragor]

And that's my turn done and one Wrekka dead, assuming I didn't make any mistakes this time of course.

[Commissar Molotov]

From what I can see it all seems to be correct and in order! A worthy kill to the Celestial Lion!

[Komrade_Atomic]

Finally posted with Thire!

 

 

 

Overkill?

[Commissar Molotov]

Updating now...

[Petragor]

No such thing as overkill in 40k, but did you remember to account for Toughness bonus?

[Commissar Molotov]

Yeah, that was the only mistake I found, thankfully between Thire and Argus they'd done enough damage. They make quite a double team!

[Komrade_Atomic]

  Whoops, my bad! And yeah, Thire and Argus seem to be setting up nicely for kills!

[Commissar Molotov]

Map is up - Lysimachus, you are free to declare actions again. I assume you will declare another Bolter Assault, in which case all players please be aware that you'll be needed for actions.

 

Note that in Round 2, all Orks may react to your shots. If you give me your rolls and what you hope to happen, I will resolve your actions as quickly as possible.

[Lysimachus]

Will do, and yep will call BA again.

 

Just to check with Petragor before I pick a target, did you mean Wrekka C or E? I think in the OOC you said C, but in the IC you've put E?

[Commissar Molotov]

I've resolved against E, so E it shall be!

[Petragor]

Argh No! I meant C, it’s always something when I’m posting in IC

Is it too late to change?

[Lysimachus]

The GM speaks! :lol:

 

Don't worry, Titus can handle the beasties on the platform. Maybe Embe could squish the Grots instead? He's got the best abilities for Horde killing anyway?

[Commissar Molotov]

It can be C, but I won't be able to change the map straightaway.

[Petragor]

I am planning to get to the grots, so Maybe E works after all. I just need to reflect that in the flavour part of the post.

[Petragor]

There, that’ll work

[Commissar Molotov]

Thanks for your flexibility, Petragor!

 

All squad members can now declare bolter assault actions in any order.

[Mojake]

How does AV and structural integrity work when attacking vehicles?

[Commissar Molotov]

AV is the same as Toughness Bonus, and Structural Integrity is wounds.

[Mojake]

So if I were to shoot a Walker from the front, it would just be damage - 15?

[Commissar Molotov]

Yes, basically, although your Pen value would reduce the armour. The rules for vehicles are in Rites of Battle.

 

Edit: Looking at Achillion's sheet, Libra does something in the region of 1D10+20 Damage, Pen 8 anyway, so it'll make a great can opener..!

Hmm, I am planning to Wrathful Descent those grots, but It’s a Squad mode ability. Does that mean that the target needs to be in squad range too before I can charge it?

[Lysimachus]

Only in the sense that you need to stay in 30m Support Range yourself, otherwise you immediately drop out to Solo Mode. But looking at the map, and with Achillion having moved to beside the generator, you'll definitely still be in SR.

 

Wrathful Descent should activate with Bolter Assault, as it is a Charge Move (I think?) but remember that you can only attack with a Bolt Pistol as part of that Action. But that's not too bad, as once you're into combat you're able to use Swift Attack to hit twice when it gets to your regular Actions?

I have Lightning Attack actually, and Wrathful Descent only activates on a successful melee attack, so I'll have to wait for my turn.

[Petragor]

Also, re-rereading bolter assault rules, it doesn't mention Combi-weapons like the one Embe has, but does mention "Variants" of those weapons can be used? Is the bolter half of a Combi-melta eligible then?
