Xin Ceithan Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Actually, with both the Librarian and the Mentors out of the picture (since they were founded mid M41), that makes my selections a bit easier as I don’t need to bother with both choices at any rate Lysimachus 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382101-deathwatch-murderers-in-black-ooc-thread/page/2/#findComment-6016003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necronaut Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 @Machine God I think Lysimachus said any chapter was on the table for use, barring a few minor restrictions.

Lysimachus Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 (edited) @Trokair Hmm, I will think on it and see if I can work something out. The trouble is it's still a DW game, so threats need to be threatening to a full squad of Astartes... at which point, mortals tend to just... die? @Necronaut A crazy medic, you say? That sounds familiar from somewhere...? (I must admit I liked the idea of Gerhardt actually being the same guy from DoI but at the very start of his DW journey, so I thought Tac/Ass made sense, but we can work with whatever you guys decide!) @Machine God Yeah, that is true... it's just a bugbear of mine, I guess. If you blindly took a random 9 balls out of a bag containing 1000 numbered balls, what would be the odds of pulling out 1-9? Or even including the BT, pulling out 1-8 and number 11. Either way, it's just not likely to happen, right? I'm not saying no First Founding Chapters... but maybe 2 or 3 max? There are so many awesome Successors out there to choose from, why limit yourself to only the first 9? Edit: @Xin Ceithan which Founding are the Mentors from? I thought the last was 23rd in late m.37? Are they outside the usual Founding process? Edit edit: Did the Space Sharks only reappear when Badab happened? I thought they were cruising around the edges of the Imperium for all those millennia, so in theory one could have found his way to joining the Watch?

Necronaut Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) @Lysimachus yeah let's run him as a tactical or assault marine instead. The thing that makes Gerhardt work is he likes to take long walks along the beach while whispering sweet nothings to his sword... Which talks back to him. I'm happy to leave the doctoring to someone else.

No worries, there’s plenty of Successors to go around..

No worries, there’s plenty of Successors to go around.. (Mmmh, Star Scorpions… another potential Rabbit Hole…) Derp, why did I have it my head that 23rd was the most recent before the Ultima? Of course it's the 26th! OK, so that means there might be some Chapters that are too young to fit the timeline of late m.38. That could probably be fudged a little if there is a 24th or 25th Founding Chapter someone wants to use, but yeah... 26th is probably out.

Lysimachus Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Anyway, so far we've got: 1. Necronaut - Brother Gerhardt, Black Templars Tac Marine (or maybe Assault) 2. Mazer - ??? 3. AT - ??? 4. MG - ??? 5. Xin - Tac/Apothecary? 6. Ikka - Tac/Devastator/Techmarine? 6. Urauloth - Space Wolf Tac? and 7. Trokair - non Astartes (at his own risk of early death! ) Perhaps an Inquisitorial Acolyte, a DW Serf, or even a Follower/Retainer of one of the other PCs? We can work on this, but he will be a one off) Did I miss anyone?

Xin Ceithan Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I am seriously tempted to do an Apothecary… even if I see the danger of suffering seizures while getting a grip on Astarsian physiology. But there also is alien autopsies - hard to beat that! There is a serious X Files theme in that. Just have to decide on a proper Successor Chapter. BA apparently make good Apothecaries - maybe it‘s time for a Charnel Guard Vivisectionist ? Maybe With Tro‘s Char providing a suitable Renfield?!

Lysimachus Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Xin Ceithan said: I am seriously tempted to do an Apothecary Do eeet...! Edit: As an aside, and not with any intent to influence you from picking whatever Chapter you want, but I've often thought that a fun Chapter for doing an Apothecary might be an IH Successor*? He not only has to deal with his desire to chop off perfectly healthy bits of himself, he has to resist doing it to all his squadmates too! *Sons of Medusa, Red Talons or Brazen Claws are all pretty damn cool! Again, this is just a thought, not a suggestion. As you said, BA types also make good Apothecaries... and I guess could even suffer with a whole different set of patient-harming tendencies!
