This is 40k, it's meant to be depressing...

And Orphiel? That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now only in my memories.

Unless he's going to pull an 'ultramarine' on the chaplain (or Varn - he did take his hat off)

Blimey, are we still on??

Guaranteed, if I start posting Round 3 it will switch off immediately... 

[Machine God]

Yes. It seems to be 100 minutes late.

Post it, you know you want it!

Besides we want to hear Orphiel's Explosion.

Reinforcements:
As noted in the previous narrative post, reinforcements are inbound. You might be tempted to pull back from the Terminators, but if you do it will obviously take longer for the help to reach you!

But we don't know that.

As an aside I have worked out how to edit the Spoiler trouble.

And it's about the friends we make along the way...

I love that clip so much - Mark Strong was great as Titus, really sold that line.

That's a valid point. To solve this, I've asked Necro (as Vesalius is first to act and on the right side of the battlefield) to include in his narrative seeing/hearing signs of the reinforcements approaching and telling the rest of you. So they will know, problem solved!

Quick sidestep:

Decimus

War of The Beast, Last Wall, OG Imperial Fist, Ullanor?

[Machine God]

Well the B&C downtime didn't last long. 

[Machine God]

So just got to wait for Vesalius. 

I've already rolled Draak's action.

are you asking where the flashback takes place?  It is [redacted] of course, wasn’t that obvious?

[Machine God]

Lysimachus - Who is Bone 5 attacking, Svelk or Vesalius?

fine, you want the truth?   Decimus is

Alpharius

[Mazer Rackham]

 How? How did I not see it?!

 

[Machine God]

A.T. - I think that Odysseus means Decimus (D) and Brynjarr (B) when he's talking about being close to the edge of the Force Dome, as Draak (K) is close to Odysseus.

[Trokair]

Can I both swing the Power Axe and Shoot the inferno pistol in the same round atthe same target? 

[Lysimachus]

I think yes, because all Astartes Characters have been given the Our Hands Bring Death rule, you have Two Weapon Wielder (Ranged and Melee) and can therefore use the Multiple Attacks Action. BS test for the pistol, WS for the axe.

Normally it would be a -20 to each attack, but because you have Ambidextrous it is -10.

 

... I think? There may be more rules that affect it that I'm not aware of...

OHBD Neutralises the penalties completely.

(But otherwise, without it, that is correct).

It is fixed around Ambidesxtrous and Adeptus Astartes Prerequisites.

Ah, there you go then! I thought there was something else! (But why do we not just do two weapon attacks every chance we get then...?)

Oh, hang on, doesn't work on Charges, etc, right? Cos it's a Full Action?

Correct.

EDIT: Unless you have Preternatural Speed (All attacks on the charge)

Spoiler

Like certain Genestealers...

The warp storm around Odysseus brightened noticably as he continued to draw more and more energy from the warp, no longer distinct bolts of lightning but instead flickering cracks in space that leapt forward erratically as if unbound by the natural flow of time. Errant bolts scorched the deck and bulkheads in all directions coming dangerously close to Brynjarr and Draak, close enough to question whether the psyker was truly in control... or if he cared.

 

Hitting Red 2 could wipe out half the party

Odysseus won't be throwing any friendly fire your way just yet...
What he really needed was the bulkhead smashing power he gets later (when I can save up 2000xp for it). Punch holes in the deck beneath the terminators instead.

So... anyone with any last minute strategems to pull out?
