Female with explosives AND flamethrower(Special wargear?Please?).

**ineptus astartes**

yeah slugs (and jabba according to wookipedia) are hermaphrodites along with several types of insects

(female vernids are shorter and have longer antenna)

and a female Demoman would work probably

I would't think they woud have flame-based weapons when you can simply turn people into burning skeletons with vernid blastguns (vernid exclusive)

Not everyone are vernids.

**ineptus astartes**

I would say plasma-guns make flamethrowers obsolete though...

**Kasrkai**

I'm pretty sure fire will be useful against these guys. Napalm launcher, anyone?

**ineptus astartes**

you would have to use a different variation of flamethrower (see: SM flamer)

**Darkvoidof40k**

This game has way to much discussion for something that doesn't even exist yet. I'll care about it when we start, at which point I may bow my hat, jump out a window and quit to reboot RZ&LWC. On that note:

If and when Blood Moon wraps, up, I'd love to jump into this, as I won't be playing Frankensteins monster, RZLWC or whatever the abbreviation is. Only issue is there's too much choice. If you'll have me, I'll need some help choosing what to be...

Why not? Something tells me Karon won't be returning for another go..

What's wrong with back mounted fuel tanks?

because, they make the perfect target.

No guts, no glory.

Anyway in reality fuel tanks hardly explode like in the movies, most you get is oil leak.

**Perkustin**

Have a few questions preferably to be answered by one of the GMs. As in my mind they are very important to the very fabric of the RP and should come from the originators.

Of the ten original major races, who has the longest established empire? Secondly what is the average lifespan of each?

Finally in what form does humanity exist in the ~25th century? What are the ideals of the average man, what are the political leanings of the coalition (Already it has been established they are harsh by todays standard).

True enough for petrol/butane/whatever hydrocarbon you can think of. Not true for any other form of fuel, A tank of Hydrogen for example would go BOOOMM!! for sure. Also in a future containing lasers and railguns (it is speculated that if fired in atmosphere a railgun would ignite the air it travelled through) any fuel in a tank is gonna go BOOM.

Meant to edit the comment not write a new one!

**Kasrkai**

The cat has me sigged.

Besides, fire guys would probably be heavily armored. Like StarCraft Marines.

Oriosians live to an average of 350 years, the Alpha is currently 683 though.

Humanity is simply one of the groups in the galaxy. Oh, and they average 80 years.

**Devastator**

Okey, how about this:
The fuel is made of two fluids that have same amount of explosive/flammable as e.g water, but become space napalm when combined.

sounds bad *ss...can you drink them separately?

**ineptus astartes**

yes (and I know about the inert bullet biz but I expect the weapons used here are the essentially the same as bolters (read: charged slug cold fusion)

exolians are the oldest and vernids live about some 300 years on avarige (multiply the standard ages of ants)

the oldest to exist are the exolians, the vernids, and the Mcabrians.

**Darkvoidof40k**

Ass isn't censored.

**ineptus astartes**

but a plasma blast going through both tanks or a shot to the fuel line would make an explosion. oh well I would have gone for SM styel but each to his own I suppose

**ineptus astartes**

but children read this site. (they probably know the words anyhow but still...)
