I thought we could use a thread where people could introduce themselves and we could keep a running tally on who is in the RPG. We could also use this thread to discuss things that would be hard to convey In character (OOC meaning out of character) such as what our aims and intensions are and such. For example I personally feel we are spending a bit to much time killing each other (not that that's a bad thing) before we are even out of the starting area. We can't kill off all of our characters in a Tyranid RPG without first killing a few Tyranids now can we?

Firstly I would like to apologies to Nevie, I did kind of take control of your character when I dragged him into the Chimera and put you at knife point, not even metaphorically either. Secondly I would like to say that Ahzek isn't god moding in my opinion, no one wants there characters to die in the first two pages and he hasn't done anything utterly unbelievable. If anything my Archon realistically should of died by the first Rail Rifle shot, knowing my luck on table top with shadowfields the first strength 6 shot I take I will ALWAYS fail

Yeah, I just flat out ignored Ahzek's godmode and assumed he attacked someone else. ^^' I do not know how everyone else does it, but I always assume that one can only say what our characters do and their intentions, not what others' characters do and how they are affected by anything.

It feels pretty sad to just have your character ripped out of your hand and torn apart.

In my opinion when doing an action packed assault scene it would be very slowed if neither player could not, in a minor way, take some control of the enemy for short time. Otheriwse the entire thread would a string of one liners approaching ''He aimed a Kick for the chest'' only for the next player to say ''Which he was coming, and attempted to block the attack''. Would it not make more sense for one player to say ''He delivered a crushing kick to the ribs'' for the other player to say ''But he bit back the pain and lashed back out at the enemy''.

In my opinion as long as it is nothing utterly game changing then you can use someone else's character to 'set the flow'. Then leave it to the other player of where to go from there. For example when You came up and began firing upon my Eldar it would be unreasonable for everyone to get out scot free, so instead you blew open one of my warriors. Was it not god moding saying you began firing at me? No, you where setting the flow with character interaction. God moding is what I accidently did by dragging Nevie with me to the Chimera.

Can we agree on the general idea that 'setting the flow' is OK but god modding is frowned upon?

I agree completely, thanks for making this thread btw, The actual reason I gave us all some troops is to have some expendable characters that others could kill with less impact/rage then if it was a full player character that they attacked. and I also thought that the survival of the rail rifle shot was perfectly fine.

You don't have to do it like that. You can do it something like this.

'With a snarl, the Chaos Marine charges his loyalist brother. He draws his knife and starts stabbing and chopping wildly, regardless of result, he then tries to pull out of the melee and, if successful, opens fire with his bolter.'

As for my guys shooting, that was OK I felt since I only dictated what my guys did, not what actually happened to yours.

Also, @ thepowerfulwill's Tau chopping in melee:



Tau melee!

No apologizes necessary, I'm big on the fluff, and I challenge anyone to say that a dark eldar wouldn't hurry up a guardsman that wasn't moving fast enough with a knife. Lol.

Also Khornate tau, quite possibly the most amusing I've read in a while.

Thanks. I really liked your writing style.

Hey just polling everyone before I do this, how would everyone feel about me, being the OP, bringing in some (unsynapsed) tyranids? I just want to know if I should do it, are we wait for someone else to start bringing them in.

There was no god mode intended, it made sense if the orks were assaulting that someone would be smashed aside by the orks.
I said the ceramite cracked and the marine was knocked over, not that the marine was killed

I felt that was a suitable extension of my control over my characters, I wouldn't push any further

I like the idea of unsynasped Nids

ahzek wrote:

You still dictated what happened to others, as opposed to simply what your own characters tried to do.

For all you know, your Orks might have been spotted and filled with Bolter shells the moment they broke cover. Not saying that they would have. But you alienate a lot of possibilities and remove control from your opponent by doing it, and I am personally no fan of that.

No offense intended, just keep that in mind if you get your guys into a fight with mine.

Well to me, when an RPG is finished ad you read back over what has happened, it should read something Akin to a book. A book made up of lots of sections sure, but a book all the same. If it where to happen where you had absolutely no control of what the other characters did or where they went then it would read more separate stories with interlocking characters, where one player might say ''The Orks charged straight into the Space Marines'' the Other could then say ''But the Space Marines turned and bolted away from the charging Green Skins''. This way no one can dictate what is happening in the story at any time and each set of characters will progress at a different pace then the others.

While as opposed to saying ''The Orks charged amongst the Astartes and began laying punishing blows upon them'' this is more the kind of thing that a book would say, giving perpose, intent and action while your way could at best only put intent into a post. this makes considerably more sense me ere with each post that person is dictating the story and giving the direction he wants the next writer to go, much like a 1 word story, only with paragraphs.

This is simply how I prefer my RPG's, but everyone is of different opinions.

The issue is when it is taken not only to the point of the Orks successfully charging, but the player behind the Orks dictating that the Orks inflicted X damage on the Marines, and the Marine player can't have a say in the matter.

And are the orks still attacking me? I have been playing as if they broke off.

I guess i should say hi.

Im the Kreigsman who just joined.

Hi Archie.

Ok for my peace of mind, I need to list where I am gathering everyone is.

Kreigsmen( there are three of them now?), Tau, Dark Eldar are in the Chimera transport bay. I'm Driving said Chimera. Plague Marines are Facing down the Mawlock. And Orks were Krumping something but are currently off doing their own thing.

Yeah, that sounds right. Its me and 3 other men, ones a Engineer, ones a Quartermaster and another is a retired Death rider.

Ok Archie, by group do you mean your Kriegsman? And how did you go from the Chimera to a cathedral?

Apologies, i missed this thread.

I was asking if i can join?

You could, not sure if it will restart or not, but Im hoping

I wouldn't mind restarting if someone got the ball rolling, i quite enjoyed this,

and done!

http://youtu.be/1GLaV9aXQ7Y?t=6s

Karnus, perhaps unsurprisingly, matches this gentleman very well in appearance and voice alike- though his armour is differently coloured!

Will, could you give us a destination or an objective (such as finding an energy source for your battle suit) that can shape where we take this? I am a bit lost for ideas.

Sure! No problem!

Let's see... The main goal is to get off world, in my case the suit being a means to an end, I really should make some sort of mock-up of the city, but anyways as Dark Eldar you could be working for a homunculi who wants tyranid parts for some unholy experiment, trying to re-capture or kill an escaped slave, make your way back to whatever ship you came on to recover something before you go, or just be trying to take as many prisoners as possible.

any of those sound good? And I will spent some information about the city in my next post on the main board.

I think he meant more of a general player goal, not just for only the DE.

Thanks Will, my main intention was to get off world. Maybe your Tau would like to participate in a 'cultural exchange' aha.

Brother was right though, as we are all working together now setting an objective we must reach would make things go smother.

*Edit* mock up not working, Ill just say it.

The city contains the following, all at different (not set, players have control over the general layout of the city) locations, An armory (Containing a large amount of PDF hold-outs) A vehicle Depo (Contains a nest of gene-stealers) A Gene-stealer cult base in the sewers, A space port with two functions ships, one much smaller than the other (NOT RECOMMENDED TO GO ALONE, MAIN NEST OF THE TYRANIDS) A chapel (Containing a Slowly maddening space marine) and a few other "Mystery" locations, make them whatever you want.

Hey guys, just some Roleplaying advise: don't use *these* little things. Not trying to be rude - just giving some advice - it'll improve the way your posts look.

To be fair, preferences vary. This is not an objective thing.
If they prefer *s, I really don't mind. As long as there's no godmoding or something, they can write how they wish.

Due to my long absence, I got in an extra long post, and Im moving the plot along a bit more too.

Just asking, I am adding more prose in the "*"s does anyone mind them? because I could change it up if you want.

umm, is it like, too late to join? I mean uhhh, well. I kinda assumed you just joined by posting, you know.
sorry if I did anything wrong but ahh...
anyway, if it is okay for me to join
my main guy is a captain of my custom space marine chapter, the hounds of loken. his name is merric veren and he has terminator armour and lightning claws. my companions are a tactical sergeant, thresh, and another terminator, named ativus, who also has lighning claws. I am on the outskirts of the city, and just came out of a pile of rubble I was buryed in for a while. I had another tactical marine companion, but a carnifex exploded him.
again,. sorry if I did some thing wrong.

It is certainly OK to join! Just wander in.

It was really fine

I'd like to pile into this fracas as well, though I'm torn between FSE Tau and Grey Knights

Actually did make up my mind on Enclaves, but my fething mobile device won't let me edit my post, so I'll repost what I had here (and also fix my derps along the way)

Shas'el V'sari - Crisis suit with TL fusion blasters, fusion blades, shield generator, and (broken) positional relay.

Shas'ui Fi'lin - Crisis suit with dual flamers and vectored retro-thrusters (out of jetpack fuel).

Shas'ui A'kali - Stealth suit with burst cannon and drone controller (drones long since destroyed or salvaged).

Shas'la Lu'kii - Fire warrior with pulse rifle. Best mechanic of the survivors. Fun fact: this battle would have been his Trial by Fire, but then Tyranids happened.

Bring them in! Would be cool to have some other tau running around.

Also, Im posting the "map" in the main thread, first post.

My marines are heading toward the chapel, do I need to know anything about the inside? Or just who ever gets there first makes it up?

Aside from the maddening marine mentioned in the post of locations, no, for the most part, you just make it up, you can make your own location too.

What sort of interaction would the mad-marine have with a loyalist bearing a bunch of wolf iconography in shiny White armour?
Sorry I just don want to break the flow.

What ever you want My games are about players doing what you want.

Was bored, joined.

Entering with an Iron Warriors Captain/Chaos Lord (in terminator armor with power axe and combi-bolter), a terminator (combi weapon and power fist), and two Legionairres (both with boltguns, and one with a chainaxe, the other one with a chainsword).

May I get in on this? I want to type the paragraphs about my characters shootin' nids.

I am going to use a lone Storm Trooper because why not. Of course, he will be one of those swanky Eisenkern ST.

You may join.

You sure you don't want a whole squad? It's difficult enough to be a stormtrooper when there's Terminators running around!

Hm, probably should. Do I just jump in?

Ya, just write up an entrance and your start at any point in the city you want!

Here's hoping my IW don't get ill

I'll get a reply up ASAP.

Excuse any mistakes, on my phone.

Hah, same for me. Posting can be quite annoying when you're on your phone.

Don't I know it. My man hands are far too big for itty bitty tiny baby buttons. BTW, I should mention this now: What my characters have are upscaled autoguns that are basically Hotshot lasguns/Hotshot Volleyguns for all intents and purposes. The reason I mention this is because I'll reference their weapons using bullets instead of... Photons, I guess.

And my CSM are nine feet tall movie marines.

Don't worry, I have roleplayed for years and I know what and what not to do.

Same here, miss. In WoW too. I've roleplayed for awhile on Sisters of Elune and Moon Guard. I've seen some gak. Really, really funny gak.

Ah, Chaos Movie Marines. Combining the uber powerful Space Marines with the corrupting power of chaos. Truly the greatest warriors until the Ultramarines come into make them look like fools at the big finish.

I roleplay in WoW currently, on Argent Dawn. Great fun.
And luckily there are no Ultramarines here.

Imagine trying to balance dat gak though. 'Shoot: deals 3626273736372^5 physical and 5260272636 Fire damage.'

Ultramarines are above this heretical thing called balance.

You don't play Mists? You're missing out!
Throne of Thunder is so much better than Ulduar in every way so it is not even funny.

Well, I'll stick with Uldaur

Yay! I like this thread. Well, my terminators are going after the Plague marines but have marked that path finder who is/was following them. They're heading toward a small field armoury at the moment, hoping to find either survivors or something automatic. Oh, they are also trying to find a stronger VOX point so they can scan for any of lukas' squad and or the plague marines.

Uldar forever. No raid will ever take my nostalgia away! *Totally not a Wrath baby*

Did the Nids completely strip the planet of it's atmosphere or is it still somewhat breathable?

It should be breathable.

Most life is gone, but a lot of buildings haven't been stripped yet, food is salvageable.

Out of curiousity, are we waiting on me? I am new to this forum roleplaying thing, I apologize.

nah, I'm waiting for someone to try shooting at me, then i will keep going.

My Plague Marines are headed for the highest ground available (With one squad member instead going for the Iron Warriors) so either the Xeno players or the Iron Warrior should be ideal.

Though anyone may theoretically continue, I'd rather not right now as I posted recently and I want to give everyone opportunity to react should they wish.

So I was thinking about adding a common enemy to the game. I'm thinking an inquisitor drops down on the planet, sets a date for exterminatus, while trying to stop us from reaching the escape shuttles, he would be targeting everyone, xenos and chaos for being, well, xenos and chaos, and the guardsmen for stealing the governor's water, but for now the marines would be safe from his wrath, unless you want to make your new recruit a secret heretic that is . What does everyone think?

I'm guessing you noticed the subtle hints? Subtle like a brick.
I might have him heretic, maybe when the marines and plague marines fight again?
Other wise, maybe a plague marine stabs Avicus in the elbow (it was damaged) and then the inquisitor wants to kill him to make sure he is not corrupt? What do you think?

Hah, killing elite soldiers over water. How like the Imperium. How did the Inquisitor find out about that, though?

Shorter post than I'd have liked, but meh, sort of busy-ish.

I was thinking he had video surveillance of most of the city, so he know who is where (roughly) and what they have done.

So do it?

Feel free to.

Im game.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I've been really good about procrastinating on getting roleplay posts done recently.

How can you have two lightning claws and a stormbolter, or any of the other combinations?

Wrist-mounted.
E.g grey knights.
If any one has a major problem about it, they can explode or solething.
Thepowerfulwill What do to think?
EDIT: by they I mean the weapons.

I think as long as you say it is wrist mounted it is fine.

Gee, that makes three combined Chaos Astartes survivors.

So many heretics. So many bullets. So little time.

Perhaps you should join them.

Pff, and hang out with those fashion rejects? My Stormies are too cool for Chaos and their outdated style. Spikes and chains were soooo 40th Millennium.

Alex, I think that was a bit of a godmode there.

You have to take into account that the Crux is very capable of halting the grenades before they can hit the armour, it is not gauranteed but it is a possibility.

In my opinion, not really knowing how the Crux works i didn't assume it was always active and it needed power diverted to it (much like a Shadowfield or Tau Stealth field) and i also believe me having the ambush is also justified due to having said i was stalking them in previous posts while he said he lost the tracing on the Xenos. But i will take this into account and try not to do anything like that again. For the record, it's still just a single Wych with a knife at your throat in the middle of 3 heavily armed and armoured terminators, if he decides to make a fight of it she will undoubtedly get a few stormbolter shots to the face while the Marine walks away (yes, Marines can walk away from such) with 'just' a knife in the throat


@Edit. Otto, i actually really like your look on this. A different approach and i like it, things are getting very interesting.

Just dropped in on this myself, seems like fun. Thanks Alex, I thought it would be cool to add a little more adversity xD. I don't expect they'll last long, especially if they encounter that large group of Chaos buddies lol.

Wow. RemInd me to look up next time...
damn half naked drug space elves.

I'm sure you'll find a rather big group of Chaos Space Marines, including Veterans of the Long War, to be much more satisfying!

For some reason that's not very Reassuring. Wait, aren't haywire grenades just EMP? I have a plasma reactor, nothing to EMP.
Oh well, I'm going back to the thread give me a minute.

There we go.
I figure to give it some balance the Plasma cannon will take 5(?) seconds to charge before discharging.
Also, what I just did must have hurt a lot. Like, alot.

Would you guys mind if I threw in another character? I've been knocking an idea for a Word Bearers lord around that I want to play. Besides, we clearly need more Chaos Marines.

Chaos Marines are severely outnumbered here, and are in need of help!

Then I shall send in reinforcements! Do not worry, it's only one guy and his buddy.

Ah, can we add another lonely loyalist? My armour will probably not survive sustained fir efrom the 15-odd traitors running around.

You better hide, then. Loyalists been doing that all the time.

You do have Terminators walking around. Those guys are tough as nails.

True that. I just gotta hope you guys don't gang up on me...
Oh shi-

Whelp, your guys still have some Stormies to help you. Hot shot Lasguns/Volley Guns are decent at killing marines. I'm just going to hold my Word Bearers back if and when my Stormies bite it. It gets awkward to roleplay two opposing characters.

 TheCustomLime wrote:

I've got two Terminators myself, both Veterans of the Long War.

Sigh, almost everyone is in power armuor or better! What do you expect a poor, half naked Wych to do again these kinda people, Flirt them to death

Just wanted to ask, how would you lot think i should handle the shadowfield? It's fickle by nature but it is still a very powerful shield. I am not sure how i would write it to absorb the enertgy of an entire plasma cannon bolt, i simply can't picture it even though with a 2++ I will happen 5/6 times.

So when you think you're going to kind of kill another person's character do you, like, ask first? 'cause, ah, if Alex agrees one of my terminators will probably step on the dark eldar before sqying something suitable. Or is she going to be rescued?

No, it's perfectly acceptable to put someone in a killing situation for the other person to act out the death for example ''Merric simply stepped forward and raised his armoured boot, preparing for it to crash down on the Xenos head.'' That way there is a slim possibility for the 'divine intervention' that every player gets one of (see first post of RP thread) if i decide to use it, but i foresee trouble in the future so i might very well save it for later.

#Edit Just to give a rundown of the Archon's weapons so people are not surprised later. Putting in game stats to help you imagine their effects.

Huskblade (S user AP 2 Instant Death): Looks like a bone blade with smoke pouring off it, if it hits home it sucks all the moister up and leaves someone as a dried up husk,
Blast Pistol (S 8 Ap 2 Pistol, Lance) Very powerful, if short range, pistol. Can conceivably punch a hole in a landraider, terminators beware!
Shadowfield. 2++ invul until it is failed, then it needs to be recharged, semi-sentient. Will fail under a lot of fire power or at 'inopportune times'.
Soultrap. Does what it says on the tin.
Plasma Grenades.
(Found) Displacer Ring. Yet another 3++ invul, but when it's passed the wearer is teleported somewhere random. Teleport and be 'steered' due to mind link.

Incubi

Warsuit. 3+ save. Much less bulky then even Marine armor, barely inhibits DE natural speed and reflexes. Can deflect small arms fire.
Klaive. Big ass sword. Str +1 Ap 2 at initiative. What makes this guy deadly.
Tormentor. Psykic torture device. Sends waves of psykic agony in a wave in front of the charging Incubus, used to incapacitate enemies.


I know DE are not the most well known of armies, thought the 'skinny' on each might be helpful. If you have anything fancy that others might not know what it does (Harlequin Scare mask, Daemonicly possessed battle suit, lucky belt buckle....) then a run down might be nice,

Just a couple of questions before I move on --

Would it be alright for my little trio to split up?

Is the Inquisitor still alive? The last we saw, he was fired on by the stormtroopers but I don't know if they lucked out or not.

Also, in-game I know there's a 48 hour count-down for Exterminatus. Out of game, how long are we going to say that'll be?

Out-of-game the game master Thepowerfulwill will decide when the time is out. He also decides if the Inquisitor lives. You may split up if you wish.

And poor AlexisAwesome, now you don't have a lot of soldiers left!

Putting out full equipment lists are a good idea.

My Marines all have frags, kraks, bolt pistols and bolters, as well as chainswords. The exception is Karnus the Plague Champion, who carries a Bile Spewer (A weapon that fires the digestive juices of Nurgle in a slooshing torrent) and a Zombie Plague-infected Power Sword.

I already partially did this, but.. 'ere we go.

Chaos Lord/Iron Warriors Company Captain Gavriel Vrakul: Terminator armor, power axe, combi-bolter (melta), frag/krak grenades, melta bomb.
Chaos Terminator Aspiring Champion Torador: Terminator Armor, power fist, combi-bolter (melta), frag/krak grenades.
Legionaire Rorke: Power Armour, bolter, frag/krak grenades, chainsword.
Unnamed legionaire: Power Armour, bolter, frag/krak grenades, chainaxe.

I have a feeling that unnamed Legionaire is the kinda person that will be one jumping in front of the main character to take a Rail Rifle shot to the chest Poor Scrub.

Me and Will are both down to two characters, His Chaos lord Tau and Pathfinder and My Incubus of Awesome and Archon Xilian. Has any other characters died yet? I know a Plague Marine i walking around with half an army an all but apart from that i'm not sure.

Jumping in front of? You mean "being pulled in fron of"?

I've had two tactical marines die, but gained a terminator.
BTW, since when do die eldar come back to life?

 the shrouded lord wrote:

When did they die?

Also, Eldar has the tech to ressurect people.

And indeed, one of my Plague Marines lost an arm, but hey, it's a Plague Marine. He is not overly bothered by it and Nurgle will grant him a new one in time.

Don't worry, i won't pull something fishy, she won't be back in this RPG, you can count her as dead. But successful Dark Eldar such as famous Wyches or Archons make pacts with the Haemonculi where they leave the Haemonculi with a part of their soul and a part of their body, meaning should the Dark Eldar die in a particularly nasty real space raid the Haemonjculi can regenerate them from the parts they left behind and call the soul back to the body. As with most Dark Eldar things, this is fueled by pain, as when a Dark Eldar is exposed to the extreme pain of other things they can regenerate (hence FNP for a Pain Token). The Haemonculi are only to happy to arrange these regenerating Dark Eldar above their torture chambers, why not make a buck off of a hobby or torture?

Ah, equipment lists! Should've done this before but oh well.

@Alex: DAYUM, that is some Goofy time stuff.
Equipment list.

Merric(Captain):
Terminator armour.
Storm bolter (wrist mounted)
Power sword
Plasma cannon
Iron halo (4+ invuln)

Avicus (terminator sergeant):
Terminator armour
2x lightning claws
Stormbolter (wrist mounted)
crux terminates (5+ invuln)

Lukas (terminator)
Terminator armour
Thunderhammer
Stormshield
Stormbolter (wrist mounted)
Crux terminates (5+ invuln)

Are there any disadvantages to terminator armour enemies can exploit? I know it provides great protection vs small arms fire, has a 'might get lucky' invul save and lets them carry heavier weaponry but apart from that i don't know over much about it. Does it impede how fast the Marines are? Does it need batteries? I know the mechanics, i just don't know the fluff.

They are really big and bulky. You could easily outmaneuver them if you got the skills. They also have to go single file through narrow (Read: Normal sized) corridors allowing for good ambushing opportunities.

You could also do what people do in game and drown them in Plasma/Rending/Melta fire.

They are significantly slower then Normal space marines, but they're still fairly fast.
The biggest weakness is the joints, which are still as tOugh as power armour.
Also, aw with that shot.

Terminator armor mainly decreases walking/running speed. Certain weapons can make them much slower, too, but a terminator with, say, a Power Sword and Storm Bolter wouldn't b much slower (with still striking at initiative and all).

I also recall Catapractii armor not hampering movement at all, but those suits are virtually non existant among loyalists, and very rare among traitors.

Also Shrouded Lord, watch out with the fact that Adeptus Astartes can shrug off poisons in the fluff. In game they're vulnerable to poisons like the rest of the races, so only have a chance to survive a poisoned shot.

Just watch out that it doesn't become a kind of God-mode against other poisoned weapons. I'm not just saying this because I have a Death Jester with a giant poison cannon xD

Oh and gear wise:

Farseer:
Shruiken Pistol (pretty pathetic)
Witchblade (also pretty pathetic)
She's a low level Psyker though.

Troupe Master:
Shruiken Pistol
Eldar Chainsword (pretty much an SM chainsword)

Death Jester:
Shruiken Cannon - fires poisoned shots that can cause the person to explode if they penetrate the armour.

Don't forget to mention the Holosuits and 'Boo' masks, the best part is while Holosuits provide a 5+ invul in the game, fluff wise they work very different. When a Holosuit is activated your entire body turns into a kaleidoscope of colors and blurs your outline completely, making accurate targeting all but impossible. The Masks (they have a name, just CBA to find it) portray whatever the Harlequin wants them to, which in battle is usually the enemies worst fear, but since the suit is holographic as well as the mask that troupe master could conceivably pretend to be a civilian and no one would be the wiser.

Also, for the record, don't down play your basic weaponry. it will be doing most of the heavy lifting. Shuri Pistols lack stopping power but can cut through Termie Armour if enough shots connect, with the Shrieker Cannon just being a bigger version shooting more shots, which just so happen to make you explode. On the other hand Witchblades are immensely powerful weapons depending on how much energy is poured into them, represented by the fact if a Farseer is angry enough she can shove that thing straight through a Land Raider.

Ah yes, I forgot those special gear items...

also the Flip belts for the harlies, in game giving them move through cover by greatly increasing their agility etc.

Cataphractii is actually slightly slower than normal armour.

Tartaros suits, however, are very advanced and not slowing down the wearer at all over Power Armour. They still are as protective as Indomitus.

Ah, got confused with the two. All dem armor patterns

Ignatious is still the coolest looking.
Dude don't worry I shrugged it off because it was just a pistol. Would have done the same for any pistol. Except plasma.

Did I just have building drops on me?

I believe so. Worry not, though, apparently Termie armor can save you from being stepped on by a Titan.

Huh. Cool.

So how good at killing MEQ are we going to say Hotshot Lasguns/Volleyguns are? Both can get through their armor but only the Volleygun can really put one down reliably?

 TheCustomLime wrote:

I'd say lots of shots (so killing one is faster with a volleygun). There's descriptions in the HH books where lasguns manage to hit them and go through their armor, leaving some scorched flesh behind (and an angry Astartes).

Oh man so much happened in my absence, sorry... But ya, inquisitor went to the ground, he is alive, and kinda pissed but you get away. sorry again... and the 48 hours are just to make sure this doesn't go on too long, and get ridiculous, the game is still in the first day though.

 Ashiraya wrote:

No they're not. Tartaros only gives a 6++ whilst regular TDA gives a 5++.

I am going to ignore game mechanics here. The fluff says the protection is equivalent. Just check their FW page.

As for volleyguns and hotshots, they are quite good at penetrating armour (Unlike lasguns, lol) but they pay for it in punch (Still better than lasguns).

There's nothing that 'reliably' takes one down unless you go into the really big guns.

There you go, the shrouded lord. More loyalists to balance things out.

And the greatest of them all too. You best make sure you pay respect towards your spiritual liege.

You mean those lads that get owned by Xenos and Iron Warriors all the time?

Having a building dropped on you will at best slow you down, Terminator Armour can survive orbital bombardment and battle cannon shots, you got hit by a few bricks I just intended to cover my escape so a Termie couldn't look round the corner, see Xilian escaping and put a clip of storm bolts into her.

I don't expect any lasting damage to be caused by the stone work.

Yep. But when the exciting conclusion to the story comes our plucky smurfs will always come on top. Because Matt Ward protects.

What Alex said. It makes you a walking tank tbh.

Ok I've escaped now. I think my people sill link up with the ultramarines and then make a beeline for a ship, to bad there are no black legion, I would have had to kill them first.

There needs to be a massive confrontation between the loyalists and the chaotics... it would cut down on some of these blobs xD

Metro is fine, check out the first post,you can add your own areas

Just to let you know, you can kill the inquisitor now, he served his purpose

Yay! It's heresy time!

 TheCustomLime wrote:

Now go and get some spikes and chains!

What does the guy have on him?

Inquisitorial power armor, a force sword, a very nice bolt pistol, a fancy cape, some grenades, and most importantly, a map of the city (in a tablet-esque from)

Did you just shoot me? Right after I just pulled myself out of a building?

In RPG's, there is no reprieve. Only war!


Just to say sorry i haven't posted in a day or two, had family over for Easter and apparently me working on an RPG is 'anti-social', Gah, parents have no sense of priority

Lol.
So what does a rail-rifle or what ever do?

In game it's a powerful anti tank rifle, less so then the Rail Cannon employed by the Hammerhead's and the Broadsides. But it is still a piece of powerful anti-elite weaponry. The stat's in game are something like Str 6 Ap 1 Heavy 1 (forgive me if that's not exactly it, i don't play Tau) so they would be strong enough to punch a hole through terminator armour where ever it hit it, but unless it hits the head or slap bang in the chest i doubt it would instant kill. Very likely blow a hole straight through where it hits though, but Marines can survive with a hole in their abdomen for a surprisingly long time.

S6 AP 1 Rapid Fire. Yeah, that'll do a number to a Terminator but you have the Crux Terminatus to save your butt.

To be fair, i find it a little odd how the terminators could spot a stealthy Tau pathfinder over 15'' away in game terms (he only fired a single shot, meaning he was out of rapid fire range and i believe it is range 30'') in a rubble strewn city atop a building by the position of a wound when it was fired from behind them so they don't even have the muzzle flash to give the Tau away.

I mean if they went to cover then confirmed his position via Auspex i would understand but simply spying him seems a bit unrealistic. Also, due to the Rail Rifle out ranging the Storm bolter by quite a bit it also a possibility he is outside of their effective range.

Auto-senses, Terminator Armour also has inbuilt auspex and heat detectors.

In a war torn city, much like the cramped confines of a space hulk as precedence, i doubt Auspex's would be overly effective at such ranges. I'd also like to think, using nothing but head cannon as i know not otherwise, that heat detectors wouldn't have the range necessary to pick out a lone pathfinder at such ranges.

Even if Terminator Armour does have sensors that effective (they don't have rules such as night vision or ignore cover to show that they do in game, but i know rules=/=fluff sometimes) i would be hesitant to use such omniscient sensors and heat detectors built in to armour that is all but impervious to small arms fire that ALSO has a built in force field seems dangerously powerful in an RPG.

He is bright orange...

If you think things are 'dangerously powerful' you should have protested back when the Guardsman player joined.

Seriously, Terminators VS Guardsmen on equal numbers is not 'dangerously powerful'?

I know from personal experience that great power unbalance won't damage a roleplay as long as you manage it correctly.

I don't recall what colour armour he said his Tau wore, it didn't mention it in his first post. It also isn't mentioned what colour the buildings are, what colour the sky is, what colour lenses the Terminator is using (I know in space hulk they see things tinted green) . It's an alien planet, the colour of his character may or may not be seems irrelevant.

At any rate, it's not my fight so i shall leave it between you two to decide what should or shouldn't happen.

I have only made passing references to the color of the armor, but it is in fact, bare metal, with the pathfinder's being polished brightly due his slaaneshi nature. I have no problem with them seeing me, a rail gun is not really that sneaky of a weapon, but I will say there weapons will be less than effective at this range.

And I think it might me time in a couple posts to bring in some more nids for some non-terminator marines to fight.

And if anyone wants to fight some tyranids, don't be afraid to add them on your own.

Yeah my weapons are useless at this range.

Bolt weapons can hit and kill at a range of several kilometers.

Plasma Cannons are effective weapons against CSM but no I.W.I.N. button. It's very possible to 'contain' a single Plasma Cannon if you use tactics.

That's good. I would like a big fire fight between three terminators and twenty-odd traitors, we've all got ranged weapons.

Damn those Stormtroopers for killing the Inquisitor! xD If my guys survive the encounter with the Dark Eldar, they might have a little fun with those stormtroopers soon

I thought they were Craftworld Eldar. I didn't know... Oh, you meant killing them. Right. Well, they are the best non-Space Marines there is in the Imperium. Face the fury of a weapon that isn't as good as a Bolter but pretty close!

My Eldar are of the Dark variety, while his party is lead by a CWE Farseer and 2 Eldar Harlequins. Harlequins are weird as they don't serve the CWE any more then the Exodites or the Dark Eldar, as they work for the Eldar Race as a whole.

I'm sorry, but that one pathetic cultist is sooooo dead

I was going to name him Jim....

Hey is it all right if I join I was thinking a chapter master in artificer with no bombardment ability (to op) storm bolter and power sword and 1 terminator bolter and power sword and a scout with camo cloak and sniper rifle
start out in a shot down stormraven

Sure.
This must be an important planet! Lots of CM and Captain equivalents have ended up here.

cool thx

Yeay! More 2+ saves, my favorite

2+ SVs = live

Now avicus has been stabbed too

Alex, I would respond now.. but I'm going to wait and see what happens with the Terminators + the Farseer. If the shrouded lord doesn't take too long

Sorry, but a man needs to sleep once in a while.

Just use your catalepsean node?

I am still waiting for noobbomb to respond so I can continue. :(

Happy birthday, btw.

Interesting twist you've added there Shrouded Lord. I'll have a think before I respond

Yay! Argentmun is being saved! xD

@ Custom, don't feel the need to kill of anyone else to Koth's assault. I fully intend it to only be a distraction to get the Harlequin to saftey, as well as the ever careful Archon of course.

Incase you missed it, The Archon gave Koth a displacer ring she found in an inquisitorial cash, which i intend to use as the get away card after Koth has sufficiently intimidated the Humans. I would feel terrible if i killed off any more of your characters when my own is probably going to get out alive (other then being teleported into a dumpster...)

@Otto, out of interest how willing do you think the Harlequin would be to helping Xillian 'liberate' the Farseer from her Human 'Captors'? I wanted to ask before i made it a life or death (well, life or Klaive) decisions due to it might be quite hard to write a combat scene where both of your characters are present, but on different sides

I'd say very willing. He'd blame the Farseer for Jaraxius' Death and see her allying with the humans as a betrayal to the Eldar. I think the issue is more that Argentmun is in no condition to fight, let alone even stand.

His injuries as I see it:
Useless right arm, because of shattered shoulder.
Useless right leg, because of shattered hip.
Left leg capability reduced because of a bullet in it.
Multiple grazes etc.
He's probably going to be bleeding out as the Archon is carrying him, he needs urgent medical attention.

M'kay. Feel free to dodge their shots since they aren't pouring fire into the guy and he is a Dark Eldar.

This is getting fun. It will be interesting to see how this eldar business is settled. Otto, what do you think will happen?

Shrouded Lord, I honestly can't tell you. It's been an interesting ride so far, and a lot has happened I didn't originally plan xD. I think a lot will depend on who makes it to the Medical centre first.

The plot thickens. >_•

This really is getting interesting, three parties trying to get to the Medical centre xD

One Of them kind of broken, one of them dark eldar, and one of them knocking down buildings.

Hmm, it seems this is about to get very blood...

@ Thecustomline, I seem to of missed the Ultra Marines intro, i apologies. What wargear do they have?

EDIT** Found it.

Sorry about the long wait, but Ry'leth is back in the game, and is really beginning to show his chaotic side... Of course that doesn't mean he is not willing to cooperate.

And that is what you get for being nice an Eldar.

This is gonna end badly for her lol

Oh crap.
Ummm, well this is umm problematic?

You say something first, then I'll respond

I cannot see this ending well for the Tau there, not only is he a Xenos, but he is a Chaos Xenos. With a Melta. So...i dearly hope you have a plan here!

I have a plan dont worry, Ry'leth is Tzeentch he is always working an angle of some kind... Who says the pathfinder is where Ry'leth says he is

We do not negotiate with heretics!

Because I love crashing parties, and I think it's time we gave things a good shakin' around.

Don't worry, the people in the building are too far away to be sucked into the Warp, but the collapse of the building might be a hindrance, and I believe the noise not only of the Plague Marines but also of the sheer destruction they cause might be enough to cause the Ultramarines to reconsider pulling their triggers...

Yeah, too bad for the Stormtroopers they were leaving the building as this was happening. All dead. At least they killed an Eldar and,in the end, if a million humans are worth one Eldar and only 5 died to kill one then it is a net gain of 999,995 million for humanity.

I think I'll wait for the Shrouded Lord to respond before I do.

oops, I made a long post are two more came in as I did it....



But on the other hand... I brought in my nurgle unit right when the plague marines showed up!

oh that kind of sucks. about the farseer i mean.

HOLY gak did all of my people just die?

4 Meltaguns in close quarters... I'd hate to do a total party kill on ya shrouded lord, so why don't we say that the explosions cut them off just before they popped the Meltys?

that sounds like, the only way to do this. either that or merric throws avicus behind him and only he gets killed. maybe use my miraculous survival on merric and then no one dies?
or your guys get interrupted, wither one your choise?

Eh, let's do the interruption. I think that is what Ash was going for.

ok cool. you wonna post first or me? i want to see otto man to say something

Oh ok, I'll go then.

I'm tempted to respond now to that Custom, but I think Shrouded should go first, so I'll wait for him

I couldn't resist. It's like you have the biggest stick in the muds as your characters and then that happens.

Well, time to get out of there.

Out of the frying pan, into the Huskblade my good friend.

At least they have a naked Eldar in their arms.

Haha, this is getting funny xD, but definitely interesting. Waiting on Shrouded Lord atm xD

I did not see any of this coming. I thought the Ultras were going to say hi to the Termies, the Storm Troopers were going to get healed up, take some losses from the Dark Eldar and then go kill some bugs.

I didn't see any of this coming either.

I though the Farseer would have died in that first encounter with the termies. I was fully expecting Shrouded Lord to gun her down xD.

I was also expecting Jaraxius to be the last one standing out of my group, considering he had the best long range wep but he was the first to go.

I also expected the Inquisitor to not die to the Stormtroopers.

So many cool and unexpected things xD

MAKE WAY!

Ottoman or alex's turn I think.

I'm on it xD

Also btw, you don't have to stick with the Farseer anymore, she's too far gone. Even though she appreciates the loyalty

So, there is no lOnge typos of her out-lasting it. Oh. Well, unless she says something I can't see my people killin her.

What a party! Too bad you aren't playing any metal. Guess the Iron Warriors will have to fix that, eh?

No, Iron Warriors are the guys who want to DESTROY everything, and cut off mutations, replacing those with bionics. And the Obliterator Virus is their thing

Very true, but hey, we're Iron Warriors, damnit! 10.000 years of fighting should make you pretty tough


...and we have the numerical advantage, ofcourse. Especially counting the Plague Marines. Though perhaps we won't need to fight the Greater Daemon.

Yeah, why doesn't Chaos work with Chaos? I mean, all the Keeper wants is to screw a smurf. It's what the Iron Warriors have been doing for awhile.

I don't get this either, why did you shoot her? xD

Plus, I just had to say "She is now" on the "you're truly lost" bit

Haha np

The Ultramarines never consorted with Xeno. One of them wanted to but the Hounds of Loken cock blocked him. The bastards.

Ha. This should end funnly.

That. Was. AwesoMe. I am officially adding that to merric's fluff.

I go sleep a bit, and when I return you guys have posted two pages of RP?

Holy feth, luckily I had a good excuse for the Plague Marines' lack of participation in the fight.

Much like the Iron Warriors, the Glacier Serpents Plague Marines are veterans of the long war (Although they have only seen ~3000 years of war), so this will not be an easy fight for the loyalists!

Ash, the Ultramarines aren't there anymore. They a made a totally not cowardly retreat to get flashier Dakka.

Oh right. Gonna edit.

Boosh.
So can merric now talk to the farseer? Is that how it works?

It may be difficult, given the suppressive fire that the Plague Marines are focusing on the loyalists.

I'll get a post up in a moment.

Man, I should've gotten a power weapon when I had the chance.

Damn, that's sad.

Eh, probably in the next set of characters when the Ultras bite it.

There've been quite some deaths today. Poor CustomLine

Ayup. It happens, though. At least I am not god modding all over the place.

Wow, a whole lot can happen in the time it takes one to kid get up, put in an early morning post then go to school.

@ShroudedLord I must say i am a little grieved to see your post brush me off to simply. I mean, i understand you wanted to continue the story while i was off at school, but you could of done it in a way that *didn't* make my characters look like bumbling idiots? I mean, a Terminator in full armour, maybe about three times the width of an Eldar, ''Barreled' through two combat prepared Dark Eldar with Swords drawn and a Harlequin with a Blast Pistol and not take a hit or make any evasive maneuvers? Then the exact same thing happens with the other Terminators get through, where my characters distracted by a glimpse of Farseer side boob or something? Whats done it done, but try not to do it again please.

I'd get distracted by Farseer sideboob.


If I wasn't an angry, sexless 10.000 year old murderer, of course.

QFT.

Oi you Dark Eldar, that kill belongs to the IVth Legion!

I should of got that kill first! I just got distracted! Does dibs mean nothing to you savages?

Also...dibs.

No, he wouldn't be able to talk to the Farseer but I'd say on some subconscious or instinctual level he'd know she's in the blade. Sooooo all I've got left in truth now is a crippled Harlequin xD

Also, does that stuff fully fix me or just prevent me from dying?

The Emperor called dibs on being allowed to go back to Terra.


We all know what happened after that

Bit of both, you will be able to move and walk and all your normal sword play but it's more of a quick fix. Basically you are functional, just don't try to lift up any cars. Your movement honestly should barely be impeded at all if you factor in the flip belt now i think about it.

Custom, is that a nod to me? If so, i would be glad to help kill those pompous Terminator armored Dogs!

**Also, as a point, i will be away all of tomorrow and most of the next day as i have to go camping for Duke of Edinburg.** See you on the other side if anyone is still standing. And anyone, feel free to use my Characters how ever you wish (for example Otto might want to control the Incubus currently with his Harlequin, Custom Might want to use my Archon), but do *try* not to get me killed. I would be most displeased

Actually, they were referring to how the Termies were being buddy buddy with a Farseer. That's a big no-no in the Imperium. However, I may or may not introduce another group since the Stormies bought it. Probably more Eldar.

Just fyi, if merric tries to get to the port alone, he is 99% likely to die, I was saving this for later, but there is not one, but two biotitans in the area. I like him, and want to see him escape so....

Whoa.

Yeah, I can see why it'd be difficult...

Biotitans!? No one could take those on.... they don't have heavy support!

Hmm. Perhaps I should introduce the Elfdar I was planning in that case. Three smurfs alone, with one being hurt, isn't going cut the salami. M'kay, here is the replacements for the Stormtroopers.

Farseer Talor
Heavy Aspect Armor
Shuriken Pistol
Witch Blade
Haywaire Grenades

Autarch Li'sai
Heavy Aspect Armor
Fusion Gun
Power Sword
Haywire Grenades

Dire Avenger Exarch:
Shuriken Pistol
Plasma Grenades
Dire Sword
Aspect Armor

Sergeant Joen Tross
Heavy Autogun Repeater
Frag Grenades
Krak Grenades
The Inquisitorial Device.

I'll wait till everyone says their peace to deploy these mofos.

Has this Farseer seen the same visions as Laurella? xD

Actually, his vision was that the Inquisitor had to get the doo-dad the Storm Troopers were to deliver or else their Craftworld will get om nom nom'ed by a Hive Fleet. Doesn't matter how he gets it just that he does.

mmmmk

More specifically, the Inquisitor with this doo-dad will end up getting a sector eaten by the Tyranids rather than their Craftworld. What a bunch of dicks.

I thought we where having a 4 character limit per party?

Oh, I wasn't aware. Character roster modified.

In that Case what does a witch-blade do besides glow pretty colours?
I'm sure I read somewhere in the 5th(or 4th) codex that spirits in wargear can mentally communicate with who ever wields them but I may be wrong.

Witch blades are Force Weapons. I don't know what kind of armor penetration they got on them.
