In the grim darkness of the far future there is only increasingly expensive molded plastic.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only the further deviance of the STC.

So I'm thinking a barrage of krak grenades is likely in order if we want to keep our limbs firmly attached to our torsos... Unless you have a burning desire to be subjected to field surgery followed by implantation of crude prosthetics by our resident butcher, I mean medic.

[Commissar Molotov]

Certainly seems to me like a bolter assault is in order. Beyond that, your combi-melta might be the key we need...!

[Lysimachus]

Very nice gents! Did any more of those 10's for Initiative come from using a FP, or is everyone just rolling super hot? :D

 

So, we just need Odysseus' roll for Alpha, and Radago's roll for Beta, then I'll start getting Rounds started and maps up, etc.

 

Edit: I think Trypanon is a Stalker, not Combi-melta, but with an aim should still do a solid amount of Dam! (I'm still really looking forward to using Titus' Huntsman in Blackthorn! :lol:)

Yes sadly Vesalius has but a humble stalker pattern boltgun, but he'll manage somehow. And yes, his initiative roll was a natural 10. We're going to Vegas, baby!

[Mazer Rackham]

We're going to Vegas, baby!

 

What?  Where the house always wins...?

[Necronaut]

Listen, I'm on a hot streak!

[Mazer Rackham]

Oh it's that kind of trip to Vegas?

 

Well let me just avert my eyes first!

[A.T.]

A Kine Shield might help

Odysseus has had his shield up since the tunnel explosion - as long as he doesn't need to run around it's free to maintain.

 

Doesn't help you at all in close combat though. If anyone wants to go toe to toe with the Penitent Engine the Odysseus can use his squad mode to extend the Iron Arm power to them granting one bonus parry roll per round, with bonuses.

Lysimachus - Draak is on Initiative 10

[Lysimachus]

Derp, I read that as your roll rather than your total, will edit! :)

[Machine God]

So we just have to wait for The Traveller to declare Bolter Assault...

[Lysimachus]

Well, Vesalius' go first, but yep then the Traveller!

[Necronaut]

Vesalius has a squad mode ability which would be rather beneficial in this situation: Exploit Weakness (allows for damage to be rerolled; second roll must be taken). As I have not spent any of his Fate Points yet, I could spend one right off the bat to bump our cohesion back up to 4. However, this would preclude us from performing a Bolter Assault. I think I will spend the Fate Point regardless, but do we want to stick with the plan of trying to blitz the Mortifier down? 

 

Edit: I believe I'll open things up by trying to place a Krak grenade right in between the Mortifier and Sister B, as I have not used any of my explosives yet, plus spend the Fate Point.

Looks like Krak's vs Morty is the order of the day, although one of the SB's has a Heavy Bolter

[Lysimachus]

@Necro: I'm happy to say with the reroll you caught the sister in the edge of the blast. So you can make a wound roll against her too, although she will have extra AP from the stairs and will probably try to Dodge too...

 

That said, if you wanted to save your second FP, your first roll would have been a hit on the Morty due to Size (+20), but then I'd argue you were targeting the machine specifically so couldn't also hit the sister... your choice!

[Necronaut]

I completely forgot about the size modifier! However, I believe I will still spend the second Fate Point in the interest of attempting to whittle down additional HP and/or force enemy reactions.

 

Edit: updated round 1 post.

If memory serves, our resident techmarine is the one toting around hardware with any notable armor pen.

all natural 10 from me.

And that's Beta's fight set up too! I'll get the officer's Actions up in a mo.

 

Edit: Actions added to post. You're up next, Sobek! :D

@Necro - Had me some of that Alberta Beef when I was over there training. Wasn't fussed with Letterkenny I preferred Trailer Park Boys.

 

@Lysimachus - What is Toks doing, did you roll Initiative for him?
