I thought about that, but I think a shot or two at longer range is more useful than a two-weapon attack in melee that comes with some penalties. The chainsword should help in melee, I hope, if it comes to that. The best case is that the combination of heavy bolter and heavy flamer from both Devs covers most potential issues with charging hordes.

Mazer Rackham Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 I have added a power weapon (20 Req) to Xin's Req sheet as previous discussion. Whether it's an axe or what is up to the Player as they're the same cost. With Xin withdrawing his Honour Blades request, unless someone else wants to consider them, I will close the query off. Requests are outstanding for a Bike Bolter reload (8 Req) and and a DW Suspensor (25 Req). 30 Req remain.

Lysimachus Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 (edited) I might consider the Honour Blades at some point in the future, if we get to the point of earning more xp - Devs can take Stalwart Defence, so a 70(ish) target Parry vs all attacks could be useful! But for now, not bothered. I'm not fussed on the Suspensor, if the Req is being used then I'll withdraw that suggestion. So if Tro takes the reload, that leaves us with 22 to spend? Edit: I just noticed on the sheet that Nolites took the Deed that grants Counter-Attack (good choice!) but he doesn't have a Balanced sword for Parrying - would that be something @grailkeeper might want to use some Req to take? (or is he taking the free Chainsword our GM offered to everyone?)

Trokair Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 The Bike Twin Bolter Reload is not a priority, more of a if there is spare Req thing. If I read the Req sheet right we have two player who have not chosen anything yet, so if we still have a few days let see if either of them wants anything.

Now you don't want it! Don't Celebrant too loudly as payback rides a Fast Bike I did very much appreciate your generosity, but after discussion with Mazer earlier in this thread, I figured the Motion Predictor was actually a better pick at the moment? It is 20 rather than 25, so I still didn't have enough personal Req for it, so I still do appreciate your making it possible! Edit: Then for a while it was looking like we were going to have 60ish Req unused, so I said 'hell, I'll have the Suspensor too if no-one else wants anything!' ...but I wasn't really expecting that to happen!

Lysimachus Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Back banner only works on the Leader (which I think everyone was in agreement should be Xin?), so Enkush would only benefit from the Fear 1 bit - I'm not sure, but I'd guess there are most cost effective ways to get it?

You can read this in the materials, but as long as there's a handful of them, not much. As I mentioned to another Player, Fear will be useful when you're clearing the hive and bumping into renegade militias etc. EDIT: I hope everyone is now happy with their characters, because no further changes (bar gear) will be allowed from this point on.

Necronaut Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 (edited) Per Adeptus Mechanicus Treatise on the Donning of Powered and Unpowered Garments, CVIIIth Edition, Section MXXXVI, Subsection MMXIV, Paragraph II: "Thou shalt don thy pants in the manner concurrent with all of His subjects who art free of mutation, for the blessed human form shalt never be perverted nor twisted, and mutation is the mark of Heresy. Two is the number of legs thou shalt possess in accordance with Imperial Standard Clothing Formulations, for two legs is what the Omnissiah, hallowed be His name, in His Infinite Wisdom, hath provided as the appropriate number of locomotive limbs. That number is two, a right and blessed number, and so shall it ever be. Thou shalt not possess three legs, and four or more legs is right out. Mutation is Heresy. Possessing more than two legs is Heresy. Pants produced possessing more than two pant legs is Heresy. Thou shalt not blaspheme against the Standard Human Form. Having fewer than two legs is acceptable, and a sign of fervent dedication to the cause of Humanity, and one should consider entreating His Most Holy Priests of His Blessed Technology to seek a replacement unit at very reasonable repayment terms. Thou shalt don thy pants as thy Lord and Savior doth: one leg at a time."

Trokair Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Throwing us in at the deepend I see. As for scale, what resolution/picture size should we be lookig at when making the 5mm to 1m conversion? In thread the map to me makes it about 3cm (so 6m) from Kur-Dawa to the closes ork marker. However if I full screen the thread the map picture is now such the same ork markes is about 4.5cm (so 9m ish) away and if I open the map picture in its own browser tab or window it is a little over 6cm (or 12m).

Lysimachus Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 (edited) Are we assumed to have had time to collect our Req items and narratively reload our weapons, as I had written Incario's intro post with his hoppers having run dry? Can I include something to that effect along with my Initiative roll? Otherwise Incario is basically throwing rocks at the bad guys...

Mazer Rackham Posted November 6 Author Share Posted November 6 (edited) Marines can throw rocks pretty hard, though! No, that's all fine, cheers. Just to answer a query, Xin's placeholder will introduce him and another character, who at this moment in time is lurking in one of the tents. Leyuun will be moved during the scrap, to protect this person (and put them both in a bag of GM holding). Just for a bit of transparency, the only reason we've done a little dance now is that Xin is busy as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, so he won't get his post in by the launch. Thought I'd give you all a lick of violence to keep you interested.
