Yep, not a problem: you're in [the team].

No problem, that one was actually quite pleasing to write.

Thank you for the team shuffle.

Glinting in the bright lights of the armoury, it called to him, beckoning him closer. Herius. Herius' knees grew weak at the thought of handling such a magnificent weapon, such an awe-inspiring instrument of death whose every note and chord sang doom for those who stood against it. He wet his parched lips with the tip of his tongue, his mouth arid and all words lost to him as his eyes inspected every curve, every groove, and every hollow of the beauty lying supine before him, reclining upon delicate supports like an attractive woman upon a plush couch. He yearned to touch it, to feel the inner ferocity belied by its calmness at rest. His body ached to feel the recoil, to control the pounding against his body. He would settle for nothing less.

With a hungry grin upon his face, he tentatively reached out towards it, stroking its long, slender barrels and tracing their curves as if caressing a lover. He removed his gauntlets so that he could feel the cold metal against his bare skin; the frigid contact sent shivers down his spine. With his other hand he poked gently around the trigger, his finger a perfect fit. His heartbeat quickened; his body knew that he was only one move away from unleashing the fury within.

"One day," Herius whispered, brushing his finger lightly against the flat of the trigger, "I'll really make your world spin." And with a sharp jab, he depressed the trigger.

Yes, that was Herius Pertinax/Assault Cannon. Yes, it was rushed. Yes, I feel dirty. Yes, you're welcome. No, I will not ship anyone else with a damn weapon.

I can't breathe.... I can't breathe....

edit: Seriously though, you're a really talented writer. You have a suspicious knack for writing *almost* porn.

I think, in the words of Peter Griffin, "I need an adult."

I advise that we leave this in his hands...

Are you sure you do not work in the adult movie industrie? But beside that you are very good at this. Your stories makes me giggle with amusement

Okay well here goes.

The bigger the beard, the better the leader and fighter.

Yeah actually Tact squad Special weapons and heavy weapons then. Do tac get more exposure or does the dev squad?

 Doctadeth wrote:

I'm planning for Assault, Devastator and Tactical to get equal exposure/deployment, but in the Dev squad you'll get a heavy weapon every other - rather than every fourth in tac - mission, which is why I assumed you'd want to go there?

Sure Dave. I'd want a rocket Launcher or eavy plasma if you can get it.

Annoying setting csms on fire then other people capping them.

 Just Dave wrote:

n0t_u wrote:I can swap out from assault to devastator or tactical?

Yup. Devastator's probably got the most vacancies if you want?

FWIW, the main reason you and Porkpious have had less kills than the other assault marines is because you weren't yet Vets and therefore had lower skills and AP to spend: for you this isn't problem now, as you were promoted last mission. Of course these extra skills/AP helps no matter your squad!

If I can choose, I'd like an Assault Cannon. If not then whatever is spare.

About me being termie sergeant. It'd give everyone else a go with the big guns I guess, so here's my application:

"I can lead by example by showing everyone how to shoot. And I will protect them with my masterful swordplay."

(That's 20 words, just like you asked )

Thanks for the applications guys, it was a tricky decision, but the Terminator Sergeant will be... Necroshea/Isaac Hexen!

Whilst a big ol' beard (in particular, I admit) and leading by example would usually get you the position, a picture was original and I'm a big fan of people making a fool of themselves! Cheers guys.

Assault Cannon's only for Terminators I'm afraid.

Doctadeth wrote:Sure Dave. I'd want a rocket Launcher or eavy plasma if you can get it.

They are currently the weapons of choice, so you're in luck! Lascannons and Multimeltas should hopefully soon be forthcoming, though...

That's called teamwork!

Well, teamwork disnae net me terminator honors lol

Oh well, I'll just have to make do with Cynthia the Assault Cannon.

*rubs thighs*

Mhmmmhm...


(But she says she feels abit dirty being shared around the squad)

That too is how I roll, I just don't like to admit it.



Also, inspired by my shockingly not-terrible conduct in my first mission, I did this:

Librarian
Tyco Revre

I did something!

We have just deployed again: aiming to take down the enemies Chaos Gate/Warp Portal. Highlights from the mission as it stands:

- We've been shot at.
- We've been shot at by laspistols.
- They have termies too.
- Somebody's killed with every shot they've missed.
- The largely-reformed Assault Squad has proved their worth.
- Somebody has the assault cannon. And has been quickened. And has killed... A LOT.
- So far you guys are looking practically competent. It's actually kinda been a cakewalk... So far.

Have just found a spot for you - you're in as our second apothecary, and will be deployed every other mission (or until one of you dies) from when you're available.

I'm afraid, guys, that we're all full up, sorry.

I'll update the OP to reflect this. Sgt. Scruffy just got in, because he was the first of you four to volunteer.

Fear not, brother, I am currently trying to convince Marneus Calgar that this is more serious than the time Nu got lost playing hide and seek: then we shall assemble the men and coordinate your (probably botched) rescue.

How to get Calgar involved:

The game keeps crashing.
