[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Dosjetka]

Amended my post with the results. Passed the Fel test but failed the Command test. I'll keep attempting both each turn (I'm assuming those both counted for Round 3).

[Steel Company]

(Steel - Balanced is +10, though some relics give bonuses?)

 

 

You're right, my bad... going to eat a bunch of damage this time....

 

Hopefully it'll roll badly....

Talons aren't too bad against marines. Claws can be really nasty though.

With them hitting Right leg, I'll be looking at 1d10+1 damage, after taking into account Pen, remaining armour and TB.

 

So minium 2 max of 11, with 18 wounds remaining this is going to hurt.

Well, you'd have to call for help and I'm not sure if Tyber would be too proud to do that before I get locked into CC myself and/or possibly be trying to stab Varvost in the back of the skull with my Narthecium as well.

Mol, isn't Vaidan supposed to take a Hard (-20) Willpower test?

If the Battle-Brother is in Squad Mode, the Kill-team suffers a point of Cohesion Damage for every Degree of Fear the creature possesses unless the Kill-team Leader passes a Willpower Test (with the appropriate modifiers, see below).

(Core, page 277)

[Steel Company]

Dos,

 

After taking a look at your post, you have the Bolt Gun doing too much damage, they got adjusted in the errata a while back...

 

They are now 100m S/3/- 1d10+9X Pen 4 28 clip full round reload tearing special quality

 

So damage wise, you'd be rolling 2D10 taking the highest and adding 9.

 

Nid Warriors are armour 8, so against a Bolt Gun with normal ammo, that becomes 4.

 

Nid Warriors are TB 10, meaning that when you roll your damage you need to take 14 (10 TB + 4 Armour) off of it to find out how much you actually did to it....

 

Yea Nid Warriors are tough, I've long considered them miss classified as Elite when they should be low ranked master.

[Commissar Molotov]

You are right, of course - and actually your quotes proves me wrong further. Akkad at the moment is the only brother in Squad Mode, and he hasn't directly involved himself with the Tyranid Warriors yet. As such, I would argue that you don't need to roll the willpower test. That said, Vaidan might still harbour the belief that the warriors of the Kill-Team are disunited and acting impetuously. 

 

I suppose this begins to develop the idea that as the squad level up and find Squad mode more useful (through Forging the Bond) then they would find cohesion more important. 

[Commissar Molotov]

SC: The thing to remember is that Dos is using Hellfire - so natural armour is ignored. He doesn't need 14 - he needs 10. He also does a righteous fury on a 9 or a 10.

True, but that is why I was sure to add the part about it using normal ammo, as I didn't know what type of ammo he was using.

SC and Mol: Cheers to the two of you. Post amended. Failed my RF roll but a headshot is still a headshot. :P

 

Getting late so I'll call it a day and get to work regarding squad cohesion and sync tomorrow. :tu:

No need to roll for RF confirmation, you've got Death Watch training, it is automatically confirmed against Xenos.

So I just automatically roll for damage if I get a RF against Xenos? Sweet!

[Commissar Molotov]

I used your rolls to do 15 damage to the Tyranid Warrior - see my last post.

yup, and it can trigger it's self again and again until you fail to roll that magic number... (9 or 10 with hell fire rounds)

Just saw that. Cheers, Mol! :tu:

[Commissar Molotov]

Please check the update to my last post - Slips, I think this will especially affect you. 

[Dosjetka]

"Thorvald, use FRAG CANNON!"

 

"It's super effective!"

[Steel Company]

I honestly didn't expect the second horde to move to the upper hall... this changes a few things....

[A.T.]

Slightly awkward turn order for the lower team. Possibly Akkad overwatching on the tyranid warrior with the condition to shoot when Atratus clears out the gaunts, or else Akkad clearing out the gaunts and Atratus trying to finish off the wounded one.

 

Sabaans bolter (explosive damage) would have inflicted one extra magnitude so any hit will finish them now...

[Commissar Molotov]

Thanks, A.T. - I will amend in my next edit. 

[Slips]

Aaaaand post amended. Blast Weapons with the Explosive quality are well fun vs Hordes.

 

Another interesting tidbit with Hordes for us:

melee

When fighting against a Horde in Melee, a Space Marine

inflicts one hit for every two Degrees of Success on his

Weapon Skill Test. Melee weapons with the Power Field

Quality inflict one additional hit.

 

Found on page 359 of the Core DW book.

I've been following that in my rolls for Vârvost thus far!
