[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Mazer Rackham]

Nice work Nine and Steel both :)

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

Thank you MR. I knew Tyber could take one that was wounded in CQB, with support... two would've been a case of burning a fate point...

[Slips]

Im not 100% but I think Solastion ended up with the Blood Angels advance since he bought frenzy

Xin: good suggestion regarding the IH squad mode. Though can Vaidan activate an IH squad mode that he doesn't "know"?

Thing about chapter squad modes, only members of those chapters can use them (and activate them). After the talent "Forging the Bond" is acquired, by members other than said member of said chapter are able to partake in what that squad mode grants... the exception is Tactical marines, if they took the class talent that lets them share their squad modes with non chapter members on a fellowship test, the difficulty is rank dependent on the tactical marine.

 

So all that being said, if Sabban wants to activate the Iron Hands squad mode ability (as he is in squad mode with Akkad), he can by paying the cohesion cost, but it will only benefit Sabban.

Right.

 

Chaps, just sprint the :cuss over here. :P

[Steel Company]

Working on it Dos... just let us finish off this one warrior, regoup a little (I'd like to be in squad mode) before we charge in... My Class ability when in squad mode will let me deal an additional 1D10 Mag damage to a horde on a successful charge attack.

[Mazer Rackham]

Indeed, now is the time to come together as Sabaan, Atratus and Akkad have done.

 

Good work AT and Xin as well.  Some very fine shooting and supporting.

 

Mol is using GMPC and is hitting himself.  I don't know if I should praise that.

Edit: Is Tyranid Warrior 5 dead or what?

If it didn't dodge the grenade, it'll be at -7 leg, it has taken a boat load of fatigue levels, 1d10 stun rounds, blood loss and has to make a challenging toughness test or die... also it has one leg now... so well and truly S.O.L.

 

If it did doge, then we need to burn it down still.

[Commissar Molotov]

Don't know if to be pleased or offended Mazer!

 

Will get started on update within the hour.

Atratus made a cohesion test to enter squad mode with Tyber when he jumped up and has the same ability - so the two of them piling into the horde should put a fair dent into it.

[Dosjetka]

Random thought: could we try and organise a live session at some point? I know given the various timezones and people's jobs/situations it might be tough, but it would also be pretty damn neat if we could organise it and make it work. :tu:

[Commissar Molotov]

I am in the midst of updating but if Mazer and/or Dos could give me some indication of your chosen actions, I will be able to include them much better!

[Dosjetka]

I'll get a post up in a few minutes, just need to catch my train first.

[Dosjetka]

Done.

 

I hope that Warrior is dead now.

[Dosjetka]

Home now so I amended my post with the hit locations. :tu:

[Commissar Molotov]

I have done half of the round - just posted and seen that Slips has posted, so I will be updating again - given that we have been almost doing a round a day, we are really powering through! I'm really proud of you all. Dos - please have a look at the edits I've done. I used your rolls in order for damage so you can hopefully see what I've done.

[Dosjetka]

You didn't use my 6 for the BS test though. :P

 

Cheers for the heads-up about the boltgun. Missed out on the training so I'm still trying to get my head around combat. :sweat:

[Commissar Molotov]

You are right, and I misread your post - I will amend with (much improved) damage results momentarily!

 

 

[Dosjetka]

Much appreciated, Mol.

 

The way I write down the rolls and all isn't the same as you/others do it so I'm sorry for any confusion it causes. I prefer to write all the info down so that I can get the process into my cranium!

[Dosjetka]

Using my previous rolls and remembering Tearing this time, I've amended my post. Not exceptional damage but it'll do for now.

[Mazer Rackham]

I take my eyes off this thread for one damn minute - plus @Dos, been thinking about that live playthrough myself.

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

Dos I might, might be able to pull something on a weekend, but it would take some pre-planning for sure.

[Commissar Molotov]

With the health issues my fiancée is facing and the lack of free time, I'm probably not going to be able to do any sort of Discord or Roll20 game. Plus, it would increase the number of mistakes a little, I think! It also would take the RPG off the board, making it less visible to outsiders, not giving us a record of what has happened, etc. I would not be so inclined to have that happen. However, those players who wish to play could attempt to run some sort of side or parallel narrative that could have some bearing on the game - and if that's the case, perhaps something could be worked out.

 

I will be able to update from this evening, once Mazer has gotten his next post up.

[Steel Company]

CM, I think MR unleashed a whole lot of murder on warrior #5 in round 5... like before i tossed out the grenade, if he killed it or it tried to dodge any shots, it is likely dead before it charges at Tyber.
