Necronaut Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) I'll give it a good think before play starts.

Necronaut Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) Well I didn't think I was going to build this guy out as a sniper, but the assault marine felt forced (and I think I've done... many... of those lately), so I have retooled Hierax as a sneaky git and long-ranged combatant. As such, I have rebuilt my dude as a tacman and adjusted his spend to pick up sig wargear (stalker boltgun). @Mazer Rackham in keeping with some sort of theme and to cut down on the amount of gear Hierax might be toting around (for maximum tacticool), might I sub his chainsword out for a chainblade melee attachment for his standard tacmarine boltgun/bolt carbine? Otherwise he's ready to go. If we end up having spare req, I would like to snag a camo-cloak once play starts. Additionally, what was your ruling on special issue ammo for tacmen? I remember you stating that the boltguns don't have a shot selector, but I can't remember or find your ruling on the starting ammunition (sorry!).

Don't see an issue. 2 hours ago, Necronaut said: Otherwise he's ready to go. If we end up having spare req, I would like to snag a camo-cloak once play starts. Should be one at the ERV. 2 hours ago, Necronaut said: Additionally, what was your ruling on special issue ammo for tacmen? I remember you stating that the boltguns don't have a shot selector, but I can't remember or find your ruling on the starting ammunition (sorry!). Tacmen don't get the SpecAmmo, it's just a pool I randomly rolled up. Obviously, you can swap a Mag for one of your Standards, and you can Req a Shot Selector (it's all done narratively from the ERV. It'll become clear as we move on. For clarity, loose SpecAmmo Rounds won't count against your ammo total - there's always a small bandolier, pouch, behind your ear, on a keychain, in your teeth, in your sock, etc etc. I'll put the Ammo allowances/ordnance in the Char/Data thread for everyone's easy access.

Necronaut Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) One other thing: if it pleases the GM, for a bit of fun (and/or psychological trauma), I replaced Concealment +20 from the Raptors Table with Rapid Reload and the deed (of disdain) Lone Survivor. This should mesh nicely with a secondary theme of this character that I had somehow overlooked given his past event plus one of his armour histories, and give you some extra carrots and/or sticks. And for the first time ever I have rolled up an astartes character with a sub-30 Fellowship.

Trokair Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) I have not had any specific req in mind, but based on other games have seen that Apothecaries often go and get a Diagnostor Helm. So I could do that, but as I am seeing Kur-Dawa as being near the beginning of his Apothecary path I am not so sure. Perhaps just a Medkit (or such supplies) and donate the remaining Req to whoever needs it. Edit: Does the starting narthecium medicae bonus stack with a medkit?

The blurb about Medicae Kits/Pouches: Medicae Pouch: Contains cataplasm patches, contraseptics, synthetic skin applicators, single-use injectors containing de tox, pain suppressant, morpha, resuscitex, a few bandages and a tourniquet. Grants +20 to any Medicae Tests.

Mazer Rackham Posted Tuesday at 09:35 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 09:35 AM I've sent some PM's out, but with Murderers entering the final stages, if you need to tidy anything up, or ask me about don't hesitate, as I'll be opening thread soon for introductory posts. When I call for them, you are welcome to post even if your chargen sheet isn't compiled, but obviously you'll need to have a rough draft of your character concept sorted out. Please note that once actual play begins, no further changes to characters can be made, so make sure you want to be the change you see. Some ideas for your characters being split off from the main force of your Chapter: Enemy action has killed your squad, Thunderhawk shot down, lone survivor, Separated by some mishap or miscomm, Went to get help, comrades forced to move, don't know where they've gone. You get the idea. Remember, the Imperium is losing. Reliable comms and intelligence is not there, friendly air or space craft won't be available, or even embroiled in a dogfight right above your head.

Mazer Rackham Posted Wednesday at 01:51 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:51 PM (edited) Alright lads, just to let you know one of our Players has dropped out due to commitments elsewhere. We thank that Player for his interest, and a place at table shall be kept for him if he has time. This means the team is now without a Librarian and extra live body. What I will do is allow his ammunition and grenades to be distributed amongst the squad as they will, and his Requisition will be honoured too, so +15 Req for the Team overall. I will not be recruiting further Players without the tax of a good character concept. Note that as our Libby is in Limbo, this Specialist slot is still considered taken, and cannot be swapped. Therefore, our team currently stands at: 2 x Techmarines 2 x Devastators 3 x Tacticals 1 x Apothecary. EDIT: Team is finalised. Guys, when you get a second, if you don't have a Character Profile in the Data thread, work one up as soon as you can please. We've got four-ish weeks, but I'm busy, so it's going to go fast. Thanks.

Lysimachus Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Can't see it either, unfortunately... Just throwing it out for future reference, but part of the advantages that Bro T mentioned of having a Club is that we have our own free Gallery where we can add all our PBP related images? It's up to each individual, of course, but it could be a solution?

Necronaut Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Would that I had the time or skill to throw models together like you gents can! I love seeing everyone's kitbashes for their dudes in these different RPG games. It has the nice effect of making the game somehow more grounded and physical.

Trokair Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago The little kitbashing project are alway fun for these, and unlike commiting to paint an army I can try things I would not otherwise. I’ll try and get mine painted this month. Alas I also can’t see Ikka’ latest offering, but knowing him it will be a good one. On 9/26/2025 at 10:02 PM, Mazer Rackham said: IIRC, It does stack.

If no one else ends up needing the it then, GM permitting, a White Scare Power Lance (P99 First Founding) may be a good idea.

Mazer Rackham Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago Power Lance isn't too crazy. SB on the Charge whilst mounted, no SB on foot, 2m Reach, no Renown level. No objection.
