Chaos Gate seems like a really fun game, from a look around the intertubes it seems like a bit of a pain to get it running. Is this so sir Dave? What OS are you using? Do you have the disc, or did you download it from Steam?

Yeah, it's pretty old and difficult to run (at the very least, I save it every turn when I remember as it's prone to crashing). Final Liberation is even better, but AFAIK won't run on 64-bit machines.

I'm running it off a disc and - this time at least - actually had no problems installing it.

Sounds a tad frustrating, but please continue as that after mission report was a great read!

Hopefully the new Armageddon game will be good and if it's popular we'll hopefully see more games like this.

Apparently I need something with a HRoF to make up for my appalling accuracy, so a heavy bolter marine is probably the best bet

Assault probably gets the most use. Many reckon it to be the best uni in the game, second only to Terminators. Its a high-risk position though: you're more likely to die than the others (except maybe Silver)...

I do want terminator honours, but I don't want to die... throw me in the assault squad! Blood for the Blood God erm... Emperor!

Although if the Librarian is still up for grabs and can eventually get terminator honours I'll jump into that.

Yeah, I think a modern update of Chaos Gate or Final Liberation would be really popular: particularly with the cancellation of specialist games.

OK, well we'll do what we can! Lascannon's will probably be mandatory later on though...

I don't think characters/HQ's can actually get termie armour, so we'll stick with the assault squad?

Sounds good. Into the meat-grinder I go.

Nice mission report!

Glad to see Titan being useful considering I thought he would be the first to go!

Good report, but may I ask to be given a heavy bolter next time? Myself and explosives seldom go hand in hand.

Not sure if I'll do videoing/bandicam as well... I'll look into it, but depending on how much effort it takes it may not be worth it; considering each mission takes probably at least an hour, which I imagine will be pretty dull- meaning the report may be better?
Reports will be done at least, and I'll try bandicam and see how it goes/how much effort it takes.

Thanks man! Titan was arguably the best there!

'fraid you're stuck with a standard bolter for now. I put you in the Devastator squad as a standard Marine until the Dreadnought appears. To be fair, Devastator's will get a lot of face time!

No worries just wanted to ask that is all

Final Liberation works fine on my 64bit PC, I can't get Chaos Gate to install though despite numerous and varied attempts.

Awww I only wasted one cultist :(

Hold on, the attached video said it was uploaded in 2010. Are you a time lord?

Doing a bit better really nice action report.

Not a problem mate!

FWIW, next time you'll have a plasma gun! You also shot at least one of the guys Pertinax killed.

That vids not mine, but itll give you an idea of the mission and scenery. Being a timelord would be bitchin' though.

Oooh how did you get Final Liberation to work?

When the brother-captain says jump...

Well, if I'm going to into combat, it's time to start praying that I don't blow my own head up...

Haha! When the brother-captain says kill that frickin' terminator before it bludgeons us all...

It's sass like that that gets you killed!

Yeah, about that...

... You've got a very power psychic power (Vortex) that is also quite capable of killing yourself/team-mates.

Great report Dave! Can't wait to lead the men into the meat grinder. Don't worry friends! I'm sure we'll make it out alive.... Maybe...

I'm terrified. Keep to the rear xD

You bet your Ceramite encased ass we do Captain!

Just follow my lead boys, remember having the big stick doesn't mean anything if you can't hit anything! (Silver... lol/jk)

Quite proud of both my accuracy and kill count, being tops of the first and fairly high in the second is a respectable slot for a Brother Sergeant to hold! But I shouldn't get cocky, that's when the rookie mistakes happen... lol

So Dave, what did you end up equipping me with? Was I able to take a Heavy Bolter? If so keep it, though I'll gladly take a Lascannon later on, if your gonna vaporize some poor heretic's head, you might as well use a Lascannon!

Hopefully I will go far. Stick with the rocket launcher for now, but if you do get the flamer....

They weren't kill steals, I was just showing everyone how to do their jobs. Nice battle report. Didn't think I'd do that well

Do the vets go in the termie squad? I call dibs on the assault cannon!

Hey no quarreling over kills boys! Kill count is on a first come first serve basis, so try not to miss! (sorry Silver, but you superb talent for missing and getting killed thereafter is just too funny of a joke to give up on, lmao )

Exactly

Emp damn it guys! Do you have no respect for the dead?

I do like myself blowing apart a cultist with a krak....somehow poetic justice in that.

Also taking down cover for the others to get the kill, heh

Not sure what to do regarding Tac squads for the next mission...

Do I run squad III and put in some Marines from squad II to fill the numbers (this is my probable choice), or run squad II with Marines from squad III?
Or do I run squad II and hope that by the next mission squad III is complete?

Can you get auto targeters?

 SilverMK2 wrote:

You wish!

I'm thinking I'll run squad III with the two non-veteran members of squad II (purple and Otto) to fill out the numbers.
