Necronaut Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I think there could also be an argument made for Cyrandras being smuggled in along with the humans headed to Bounty to oversee operations there, but obviously that's up to @Xin Ceithan and keeping an 8 ft tall, fully-armoured space wizard hidden is no mean feat. In all, the astartes are definitely best suited for some smash and grab.

That said, if Kraggan wants to join us, having a Tech with both teams makes sense? Tarh could go with either, but I'd say having a soldier/scout type might be more use for the infiltration team? I'd suggest Crux'as might be a good call for Anointed on that side, either him or Xerxes?

Necronaut Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I would say Crux'As for sure being our anointed for the advance team. He could totally pass himself off as a merchant or representative of a rogue trader or somesuch to infiltrate society, with our band of misfits being his retinue.

Mazer Rackham Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 (edited) Talax Hide is on p.43 (ToB) and helps with concussive etc, but yes, the difficulty of grabbing it goes up from Extremely Rare, to Near Unique... 49 minutes ago, A.T. said: On the subject of which can we 'requisition' from our new benefactor? Some suitable disguises, perhaps a null rod and hexagrammatic wards, a portable gellar field... Hmm. She may have left something for you to complete your mission - of course, she would know only about the Helium Platform raid...perhaps if 'Factor Crux'as' could contact the Seneschal again, there may be some leeway - but expect extensions to the jobs, or extra steps, or even another job in return. Rogue Traders trade - in Gelt, Information, or Blood. The only problem you will have is actually speaking to them. However, it can be arranged that when you pick up the vessel, you may trade on your Infamy (more as reputation than threats) to acquire extra equipment which could be dropped off/picked up en route. It is up to you whether you mention what you are doing. If it is not in her interests, the Tigress may refuse, so be canny. Be advised that if you choose to Infamy grab kit for yourself using someone else to do it for you, BC counts that as dependency (based on considerations) and may affect Infamy gains/rates etc. Just to clarify - I do not see getting stuff for a Compact, or simply giving someone something you can't make use of/or storing it in the armoury for team use etc, as Dependency. 42 minutes ago, Necronaut said: @A.T.

While there is overlap on many of their skills, one being human sized and the other having sealed power armour definitely plays to choosing certain environments...?

Mazer Rackham Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 (edited) Tarh would actually get to deploy Mithra on Bounty, so I think this would be better for the pair of them - but Tro has stipulated he doesn't mind being put in Marine Threat level...so...we've got until Thursday. EDIT: To be fair, the percentage chance of explosions on Bounty is very low. Conversely on KT-41 Upsilon, it's Kaboom O'Clock.

There are usually some mutants about in any Imperial world and Crux'as should be able to sniff them out. From there we can probably find some malcontents and maybe even a nascent cult or two- if so, then that is Crux'as' bread-and-butter. Unless there is a full-on Chaos cult with a very charismatic leader, I think the Smiler should be able to do some working in taking over control, especially with the help of a psyker like Atesh and Xerxes/Tarh as the muscle.
