Okay I recognize that the weapons jam on the enemies was a good thing, and that was written beautifully Lysimachus.

 

BUT WHEN DO I GET MY FEATHERS AND EXTRA EYE THAT ONLY SEE SHADES OF PURPLE AND ORANGE?!  Or tentacle with sharp teeth embedded in the suckers like a colossal squid?

 

It was funny against the dirty Imps, but not so much for me!

Hmm, looking through your records now, sir, I have to advise you that when you enlisted, you decided to take the 'Economy' plan and therefore don't have access to those upgraded modules without further significant investment.

 

I mean, we could upgrade you...but that would require escalating directly to the 'Premium' experience, and other in-app purchases may be required for the full set of accoutrements.

I resent you using insurance-esque language with me, Sir Rackham.

 

@Iron Father Ferrum...I mean.....it was KINDA funny...

Tell that to one of our guys whose bolter jammed three times on the trot, or when a psychic power caused a mortal ally to half puke themselves to death and then collapse.

Keep Pushing powers, and I'm sure Tchar will give you what you're asking for at some point!

Along with plenty of things you did not request.

'I do appreciate the mutation, GM, but why did it come with Anchovies?'

[Iron Father Ferrum]

I really wanted to headshot that dude, but the cinematic comedy of him charging, landing a solid hit dead center mass, and just rebounding with a bell-like "boooong" is worth it.

Hi guys, dropping in to say hello as I'll be joining in a few weeks  TBC on a character, looks like I'm going Heretek, I'll see what other people have picked and try work from there.

[FabiusV4lcoran]

Welcome!

[Necronaut]

Another heretek, eh? Excellent. Between you three we should be able to mass produce terminator armour and lightning claws for everyone within a fortnight!

[FabiusV4lcoran]

Can the mortals get fancy stuff too?  Purdy please?  I wants an autopistol with a daemonic magazine.

In this economy? The energy costs alone will bankrupt you within a week, and all you'll have is excessively armoured underpants.

 

Mind you, that might be a bonus, and keep you all out of "trouble".

Son, I love me some Faustian bargaining, and right now, I'm looking at you as a walking, talking TPK machine.

Looks like he was going Heretek but he went Marine instead

Ok, it looks to me like the Possession Test process is quite drawn out, potentially lasting several Rounds before anything even happens! I don't think the whole fight will go on that long, so I'm going to simplify the process a bit:

 

Each unit on the map will make 1 Wp roll, Opposed by the Wp of an unnamed Lesser Daemon. Player Characters gain a +30 to their roll. If the Daemon wins the roll off, they will immediately Possess that unit for the remainder of this combat, with all the effects listed on pg142/143. Otherwise the Daemon is immediately denied and banished.

 

However, if you wish, Mob 1 and/or 2 can choose to voluntarily lose this roll off and willingly welcome the warp entities in. (For these unpowered and poorly informed cultists, posession by even a lowly Lesser Daemon might be seen as a great honour and a worthwhile trade to help them against the guards/Arbites?)

 

So, please add your Wp rolls for the PCs (and if you want the Mobs to Oppose the Possession, a roll each for them too) here in the OOC. Then we'll see what happens!

Wow we might have a chance to test out the expanded possession rues from the Tome of Decay (pending GM approval)! Very cool!

If it crops up, I'll look at it, but for now we roll with Core.

I ain't TRYING to mess with the others, but I am trying really hard to enjoy the concept of a horrible 40k death for my character.

I GOT a daemon for EACH of us to ENJOY.  If YOU'RE upset that you can't control it, that's your problem!

 

Also........I'll say I'm sorry just to be polite and because I understand I threw a challenge at our DM making him flex............but I'm not THAT sorry.

 

Once I get a more mundane weapon I have no intent of spamming Doom Bolt pushes like a DnD Lock, I promise.  I really am not SHOOTING for TPK or trying to play stupid.

 

That being said, Atesh would rather the convicts get possessed to make better meatshields.

Resist Possession

 

WP53 + 30 (per DM) =  83

 

Roll: 45; 3 DoS

@Mojake my mistake; it looks like you went with a chaos havoc build instead. Love it! We have a very nice spread of CSM builds forming up now. Very excited to get stuck in again.

When in doubt in Black Crusade, apply more mind bullets (preferably pushed)!
