Only War Introduction (Pre-Game Topic)

[Necronaut]

You guys pick whatever you like best for basic weapon -- the sergeant's kit includes a laspistol and chainsword so any longer range weapon is gravy. I do like the idea of the longlas, or possibly lascarbine, whichever makes sense. Also, are we married to being sappers? I like the sappers just fine but I'm unsure if it fits perfectly with our intended regimental operating model. No complaints otherwise.

It was a bit of a fluff pick, representing a group of independent mountain dwellers+builders rather than a trained/focused Sapper Regiment - and I thought Tech-Use all round might be valuable, especially if we don't have an Enginseer on the squad? But it was definitely a last pick to use the 3 points we gained from Iconoclasts?

Not sure where the triplex is comming from? Or was that meant as a (with GM aprovale) substituion for the Longlas and M36 Lasgun.

 

Yes, though carrying a regular lasgun and long-las is much the same. The triplex is a lasgun that has a single shot accurate mode, not as powerful as a long las but all in one gun.

 

That said you do get a lot more ammo with the regular guns...

@Trokair for Throne's sake, lad, take these dice:

 

36, 37, 33, 32, 32, 33, 34, 32, 24

 

GM hasn't forced those others on you, and you're breaking your bonce over them, so just have these, ok?

 

Sorry, missed your post earlier.

 

They do look good, thank you, but I’ll stick with the stats I now have. I should have trusted in the first rolled ones rather than doubt them, so it is what it is.

If you wanted Snipers and Sappers, you could ditch Iconoclasts, and instead, take 'The Few'.

 

One Drawback, 5 Points, Reinforcements are much harder to come by. Still suits the world, but...if your Comrade gets his head blown off - might be a while until you get a new one.
