Hoping to the Gods of the Warp some of you make it, as Crux'as is basically just stalling for time and doesn't really have a plan...

On that subject, let me know if you want to try something, because I'm aware you're kind of being driven about a bit. I do have a plan for where this is going - but if you have a direction you'd like to explore, I'm open to boosting you into the driving seat.

We only need one survivor to progress the story!

You're all good- I view it basically as the Smiler desperately trying to stay calm, avoid becoming dinner/family, and delay the xenos-tainted, as he eyes potential escape routes. So far, they've been really good with giving him nothing to work with.

I’m at work - so I’ll leave in the hands of the Gods and our GM for Cyrandras to save Kraggan 

 

(But I’ll leave it as hint that Rakash’s not going to push it this time unless he’s under the impression it’s the only way to make sure the Hybrid goes out before our resident Heretezerk  )

Let’s see if I can get the right wording here: 

 

Spoiler

 

 

Despite of this, I feel I should strongly advise against calling this warband something like  Hazard Hagga and the funky Bunch going forward
 

 

Also, I find it both somewhat disturbing and increasingly entertaining that each time Cyrandras has tried to aid this band of misfits, it appears to cause them even more distress  and increase their distrusts in him … 

[Necronaut]

I was thinking something along the lines of Damage, Inc. or The Wrecking Crew or Hagga's Blackguards/Blaggards. Or the Unfortunate Sons?

 

Edit: or The Crimson Permanent Assurance.

Edited February 22 by Necronaut

[Lysimachus]

I had thought 'the Exiles' or 'the Forgotten Sons', but that is more in reference to the Astartes players...

 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

I just got a job lot of third-hand misprinted t-shirts:

 

The Grateful unDead.

 

Gotta get rid, they came off a lorry, unfortunately they're either XS or XXXL. Bit of water damage on the hem.

[Necronaut]

Can probably stretch a XXXL over power armour, right?

Such is the way of the Warp. 

[Machine God]

Can Kraggan utilise Cyrandras' Inspiring Presence in his Fear Test versus Cyrandras? 

[Lysimachus]

Technically, the Crit effects table doesn't say it's a Fear test, just a Wp test, so Radiant and the the Heretic bonus to Fear don't apply.

 

However, the table entry also says it is any of the target's allies within 2m, so I'm not clear on the specifics of why Kraggan needs to roll or what mods can/should apply to his test?

 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Ah, apologies - misread it. Kraggan can ignore that then - sorry!

 

In my defence, I was very busy!

[Machine God]

Sorry for being a bit dense but I can't work out what there is to attack? 

[Lysimachus]

Horde 2 and Hybrid 4 3 are the only targets left, but I don't think they are in Charge Range?

 

Maybe go give Tarh a friendly slap (for a boost to his Snap Out of It test?)

 

or go drag Seryna inside and shut the door on the bad guys?

 

 

Edited February 23 by Lysimachus
3, not 4

[Trokair]

Get the NPC to Safty, we may still need Seryna.

I don't think they are for Kraggan, no. Even so, I'm pretty sure they'll be giblets in a few shakes of a GM's tail.

Might be an idea, considering enemy forces are assembling outside.

I hope so. If Ukalegon can manage to knock out the last 3 Mag of Horde 2 with his attack in the next Round, then we both immediately gain the +10 Ganging Up bonus to all our Melee tests (including Parry tests) vs Hybrid 3, and Hagga gets another +10 on top for having Double Team. That extra +20 to his WS would make it much less likely for the Hybrid to win a Feint roll-off, which in turn gives Hagga the chance to put another un-Evade-able Hit into the foe.

 

So decent odds, with a bit of luck, we might see them polished off in R5?

 

[Necronaut]

Don't worry, I'm feeling a hot streak coming up!

As long as it's not the Montezuma's... 

 

 

 

[Necronaut]

So I know the prudent thing for Ukalegon to do would be to turtle up and go fully defensive since he's down to 2 wounds remaining, but I'm going to perform a guarded action and standard stack instead to whittle down the remainder of the horde (dark gods willing) and leave the remaining hybrid for Hagga to deal with, one way or another. 

 

Fingers crossed Ukalegon doesn't get completely carved apart.
