Post by: hlaine.larkin
AH yes.
But any true catachan will be so covered in sweat and mud from a days hard work that the acid will only burn away at that layer if you dive in and out quick enough.
also 'deadly' implies it could kill you.
Since when has anyone died from lack of limbs?

Just to clarify- it is a mixed regiment in reality. By role-play and fluff standard, male only, so any women we have, such as JKB tend to be disguised as women for fluff terms

Commander Seric: I hope the Marshall's Wrath has not given the Emperor's Honour any ideas... I already made it clear to Sam and Pintus that we will only give it oil but... * low growl comes from tank* the Marshall's Wrath seems to have created a bad example for the other tanks.
Also, on the topic of the tanker sniper feud, my gunner, Sam, was actually a sniper before he became my gunner. Hopefully this connection can help to dissolve tensions slightly.

Ooooh.......you do NOT want to get me started on this topic, Nate. Trust me.
I can rant all night about the stupidity of the female figure and especially clothing in the Imperium as depicted in minis.
Guardsman - a few female heads. That's all we need. They're so bulked up under fatigues and armour you can't tell their figure anyway.
WHY would a commissar be wearing a corset in a freaking combat zone?!
Why does female powerarmour have corsets built in?!
As someone who does martial arts and loves paintballing, and has done combat archery corsets are not appropriate battlefield clothing!!! Trust me, you want your girls strapped down nice and tight and very well protected.
