Did the previous posts answer your question, Tro? You can indeed attack with pistol and axe!

Just need Brynjarr and Svelk's Actions and I can update through to end of Round 3... with the possible exception of letting newcomers act too...!

Is OHBD just Single Shot or can it be used for higher fire modes? 

[Lysimachus]

Hmm, it's a good question... I think two weapon fighting says it has to be two weapons that can reasonably be held one handed, so nothing bigger than a bolter?

But I'm not sure about SAB with bolters/pistols...?

It did, just been short on time to roll dice and write stuff

 

Edit: And the week is not looking kind either, if Lys/Mazer want to do rolls for me so as to not hold either game feel free, things will hopfuly be normal next week

Sorry GM, I think that I should have asked this question in Desolation of Innocence. I had Storm Bolters on my mind.

Done, and rolled pretty decently for ya, too!  

If you want to add any epic fluff to go along with it, feel free to stick a placeholder in until you've got time?

A.T. - 

Vesalius said that reinforcements were coming. Probably from off the map to the right, so could Odysseus just use his powers to Teleport the party to them? 

We've all looked at the map of the ship before combat so it is not like you don't know what is beyond the right map edge.

[Necronaut]

@Lysimachus as a friendly reminder (not just to you, but anyone using these devices), melta weapons double their penetration at short range (below half of listed range increment) and below. Considering Brynjarr is in melee combat with Red #1, he should be getting the full melta effect of Pen 24 vs AV14. It might be worth going back and double-checking our battle math for the previous round as well, as Brynjarr may have been unduly robbed of some extra wounds dealt. 

[Lysimachus]

Oops, good spot! Edited, adds a couple of extra Wounds! Didn't matter for previous Round though, fired at Long Range. 

[Lysimachus]

Wrong thread.

Red 5 - Burst of Speed because Terminators can't Run? 

[Lysimachus]

Exactly, 3, 4 and 5 all needed to get somewhere just outside of their normal move! Burst of Speed increases your Ag Bonus, and therefore all Movement rates so Termi's still get the benefit to regular Move and Charges, even though it doesn't affect their (non-existent) Run!

Teleport takes three full actions to charge up.

(and also Odysseus has burnt all of his fate points in the last couple of rounds to avoid perils of the warp from pushing all his smites so psychic powers are extra risky now)

Just a note to say Green 6 is toast.

Also, I've PM'd Xin and Sobek to see if they'd like to join in for the end of the fight, so I'll wait for responses there before autopiloting their characters to the end of Round!

[Machine God]

Orphiel destroyed Green Six in a Hail of Bolter fire - like a Tie Fighter Vs an X-Wing.

As the terminators have just acted doesn't Draak have a full action to take again?  Feat of strength and double team that guy next to him?

(if you don't have multiple attacks and are confident of your strength a half action knockdown and half action single attack might work)

[Lysimachus]

He will do, but just waiting for Radago and Ithan to act, then we'll be back round to the top of Initiative for Round 4 with Vesalius, then Draak.

It's still Round 3, Draak has to wait for Round 4.

[Lysimachus]

There we go, Round 4 up... and Varn's inspiring presence gives you a few more SQDM options to think about...

[Machine God]

Draak is not in base to base contact with Red 4, but he will be!

Waiting on Vesalius.

[Necronaut]

Sorry for the wait, gents. Have had a busy day with the kids.

Post is up.

[Machine God]

Draak was going issue Furious Charge!

[Necronaut]

Well sorry to steal your thunder, @Machine God, but I wanted to pump out some more dakka with Vesalius and give the Iron Gods's back line a chance to move in closer.
