I see well I hope this gets moving again, taking far too long for my liking

I'll be away for a week as of tomorrow. I'll likely have internet on my phone still but I can't be certain just how active I will be in this. In any case, Elysius' actions will typically come down to burn the xenos, or stab them with his new sword if they get too close - just in case I'm unable to direct him. I'm sure you guys can mention him in your posts to keep him 'active' as it were in the event that I can't make any IC posts.

Hey guys, sorry for my absence. Our road is being dug up and some genius put his pickaxe through our internet cable

We have it back now, so hopefully I can get this moving with no further interruptions.

This RP still up and going? Just curious...

Think so, just waiting for - something. I think.

I kind of thought it was dead. It was a bit slow after my week away and then getting our internet taken out shortly after I thought it had died. I'm happy to continue though if there is enough demand to do so?

The DMing was excellent. I would continue if there's interest, as well.

Let's finish this suicide mission in style!

In the name of Russ! I demand a bloody doom!

I'll return and do the Emperor's work.

Holy good god yes!

Like anyone would say no. What kind of filthy casuals do you take us for?

What a bloodthirsty lot. I love it!

Ok then, because I'm feeling generous here's a hint of what's coming your way next - keep a close watch on yer denim trousers, oh and make sure your armour is fireproof!

Good god Castiel, really? *le sigh*
And as far as I know, Astartes Power Armour has a layer of Ceramite which is pretty much fireproof (up to a certain temperature, probably around 3k celcius.

Ceramite is a ceramic material, it is made by exposing it to extreme temperatures.

Flame-based weaponry against PA is like having a snowball annoy you, and hoping to destroy it by putting it in your freezer.

You're going to need heat up in the Melta range in order to acheive a satisfactory effect.

Its more the acid S:5 AP:2 cc weaponry that the unit brings to the table that should be worrying you

Oh you fiend! You are trowing a Tyranofex at us are you not

Nope, Pyrovores. They attack at Strength 5 AP2 in CC due to their Acid Maws, as well as having the equivilent of a Heavy Flamer on their back.

Its ok though, Pyrovores suck.

Ah okay, I almost feel ashamed for not thinking about those infernal beasts, and yes. Its a reason no one ever fields them

That's just because they are overpriced. Castiel does not have to take pts costs into account.

No you dont say Einstein, I am well aware of that. I was refering to the general suckiness of them, both fluffwise and by any other means

Take it easy guys, it's no big deal what he throws at us. They will all die just the same.

Or you will........

Blasphemy!

New event up!

Actions posted IC for Renzo, but for clarity there are, in this order

Advise ranged combat to his brothers
Fire 3 Hellfire rounds at the nearest Pyrovore.
Shout "Frag Out!"
Hurl frag.

I will do the following
2 shots with specialist ammonution
Shout " grenade out!"
Hurld a frag grenade

Burn the xenos!



Stick to one of the squad's flanks, protecting it with bursts of fire while also trying to stand far enough apart to avoid being caught in the Pyrovores own fire bursts. Naturally if they're close enough burn them with the fury of a thousand suns.

I suggest we engage them a backwards advance, so that we keep out of their close range attacks for as long as possible while still laying down relentless return fire.

Arthilos' actions are simple. He assumes a braced stance and opens fire.

Rightt, I'm giving it until the end of today for people to post actions, then I'm rolling the dice tomorrow.
