Indeed.

Hmm.

[Trokair]

So is that a second bolter assult and those of us who can should now do so?

Yes. Nergui can shoot in Bolter Assault.

Then its back to Initiative order:

Luthais 

Nergüi 

Philemon 

Arcturion

[Trokair]

So erm, yea, I think I need some time in the bolter reblessing chapple or some such. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Don't worry mate your turn is coming up again soon.

I'm sure you'll rattle off a goodly burst next time!

EDIT: If it's any consolation, up until now, the Gensestalers haven't been very good at not dying...so it's evening out!

Am I right in thinking that only Arcturion is left to Act in Round 3 (Philemon and Luthais jumped ahead a bit, didn't they?) Edit: Oh, hang on, Nergui still has his regular Turn to take as well, right?

 

Edit: The Broodlord is going to act first in the next Round, and I'd imagine is more than quick enough to catch the rearguard. And nasty enough to do a sizeable amount of damage to them. I wonder if, depending what it does, we should turn and charge it all together? After all, if we don't kill it dead, it will only keep following us?

You boys need to do your research - Mr Grumpy is no Broodlord!

He's a WS-Stealer, a Warrior Strain.  A Broodlord would require another Cohesion Damage Test as it has a level 3 Fear rating, which is higher than Stealers.

Have no fear, this is something not utterly dangerous, just significantly dangerous.

In answer to the query on BA, yes, Philemon can be safely excluded from it, but I don't know if Luthais et al would want to benefit from the Charge Move.

And yes, we're up to Nergüi!

He was engaged when it was called and is now (AFAIK) surrounded with regards to running back towards the genestealer, so he'd hold his ground ready to aid the others when the stealer charges rather than running off if there are no other targets.

[Mazer Rackham]

No worries, just with being open to the front, I didn't know if you wanted to move ahead and open up the pack a bit.

Warrior Strain like the Nids that ate Space Marines and got bigger?

Not Tyranid Warriors, or Hive Guard, if that's what you mean. No, just Buffboi Genestealers, who will eat you and get bigger if they get the chance.

So I suppose there's that.

We are? Sorry, thought there was still some before me in the iniative order.

Will post a SAB at Grumpy shortly

[Mazer Rackham]

Wow, that storm bolter is cursed. 

I blame the Lamenter.

[Trokair]

I think it might be time to swap into melee menality.

Yes - Crozius and Litanies!

[Mazer Rackham]

We're headed for the long big punch up anyway brother, let's see if Arcturion kills you all first with a Peril of the Warp though...

[Necronaut]

Hey now! Let's just all take it easy! 

[Necronaut]

I may be making a tactical error here (and potentially blocking myself off from actually getting a piece of the action, as it were, given the brutal damage output of our party), but RP demanded something!

[Machine God]

How does 'Our Hands Bring Death' work?

[Mazer Rackham]

Simply, you don't get a penalty for using two weapons at once, CQB/CQB, Gun/Gun, CQB/Gun.

If you didn't have it, you'd be at -10 for all multiple attacks, if you could use multiple attacks AT ALL.

[Necronaut]

Well that was... Uh... Anticlimactic. 

[Machine God]

Perhaps he's just going back for a Long run up...

[Mazer Rackham]

Oh, you think it's over....do you?

Note that you're all still in Structured Time, and the mission is not done.

Well Mr Greebly isn't on the Initiative Track, so we just head off to our rendezvous
