Mike Zulu Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Good to hear you’re on the mend. As I have first move: did we want to spend first round positioning (we’re in the open, but may waste out surprise), or fire at will on nearby Sentries?

Mazer Rackham Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Silencing anyone close enough to bog us down might be an idea. I think we're going loud either way, no?

A.T. Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 How loud are our various weapons? Ialandranth will be able to teleport behind unwary guards and mince them with monowire fairly easily so long as no-one is watching, but there are a whole lot of wandering guards liable to spot him or the body almost immediately by the looks of things...

Akylas Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 If we could take out a few guards moving south maybe we could free that batch of humans midway between us and the vehicles as a distraction before alerting the camp?

Sial’s Ranger long rifle is probably the quietest, then the various Shuriken weapons. Death Spinner, Fusion Gun and Reaper Launcher are all louder. Things like Running/Sprinting is also more likely to draw attention than more cautious moves, and using the wrap jump generator will certainly cause some noise at both its start and end point (not sure how exactly it works in universe but I assume like other ‘Teleportation’ methods that the air displacement from the sudden vacuum at the departure location and the forceful moving of air away from the arrival point to make space for the teleporter will cause some noise). Also keep in mind that even if your actions are not noticed, injured or dead Dark Eldar may still draw attention (crying out, falling to the ground, their own weapons fire if they get the opportunity, etc). However that all said, there are currently still some sporadic wepons fire noises, and cries of pain from injury as the last reaming escaped slaves are hunted down, so making a little noise is not going to automatically result in being spotted.

I think the ranger rifle is the best for disruption - hit one or two guards over the far side of the encampent to draw attention away. Though getting reaper missiles on the top guys before they spread out / know to dodge would also be valuable.

Mike Zulu Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I suspect we may only need to kill 1 or 2 orange guards and that might encourage the humans to revolt or scatter. I'm going to attack the Sentry ~80 m SSE from me, to give us some space between them. On 2/26/2026 at 5:05 PM, Trokair said: ...

Looking at your post I would hazard a guess at the Ballistic Skill abbreviation being the culprit. Surprise/Unaware targets are at +30 to hit (p235/p249 in Core), I should have included that in my start of round post. So that is three more DoS for the Death Spinner resulting in 2 additional hits. Edit: having made the roll that Kabalite managed to dodge all the hits.

Akylas Posted Monday at 05:02 AM Share Posted Monday at 05:02 AM Should I avoid using the reaper launcher this turn since it's likely to be noisy? I can try to position for next turn, or use my sidearm instead.
