Plus marines are well, heavily bio augmented so even if you penned, they might just heal up pretty quickly.

Depends on how much firepower you can put down, Righteous Fury, and any other perks.

As for your Dreadnaught, I got melta guns and Valkyries with lascannon

I don't think you could kill a marine with 3 shots unless you had a good roll. Armour 8 and Tb 8 mean you'd have to roll 10s to even start scratching a marine.

1d10+8 Pen 7, and that's if I hit with less than 2 degrees of success, which is impossible because my character has something like 120 effective BS. I shot an ork rocket with a -60 penalty on a 50 or something.

So I'll be doing 1d10-1 damage if I hit with a 94 (because the chest armor has Armor 10), I doubt I'll survive the return fire, but with 25 wounds and 5 toughness, there's a chance.

True... I don't play only war as much as I do Black Crusade. I can make the most broken characters possible (Psychic level 14 Sorcerer for instance)

See, your character is built, not some everyday mook

Regular Stormtrooper will need 6 and up to hurt a Marine.

Moreso if they hit the chest, still a far cry from needing tens. I am not claiming they'll kill the marine 1 vs 1 either.

Wait, did they make a Hot-shot lasgun that doesn't need to be reloaded after a single shot?

So totally NOT related to any of my characters but how long does it takes to put an injured marine in a dreadnought? A few days/ weeks ? Just curious.

4-5 minutes.

We get bored easily. Eldar look much more like people. Just trim those ears down a little bit...

At this point I'm going to be rolling to take expendable casualties as collateral if I win any combats, you do realise.

maybe i should rephrase that, if a marine is interred into a dreadnought how long until he is combat ready ?

Yes, hotshot packs are a 1 shot cell that give a bit more AP, hotshot lasgun have 30 shots with an AP of 7

This rational request from a trustworthy source cannot possibly go wrong!

At 350 degrees until golden brown. It goes faster if you thaw them first.

Wait, what are we talking about again?

I'm staying away from you BC. I think I'll go play with the plague zombies instead.

The plot thickens

You just can't leave well alone can you TS? You STILL have to try and mind-feth us.

Ah come on, dead is dead. At least my way they get a little more screen-time.

I saw what you had in that dungeon of yours. Ain't no Eldar got time for that

Dungeon? Sir, I'm wounded. It's a well sterilised medical bay.
Then again, that's if the Captain likes you. He's a very helpful man.

My EC do play by their own rules somewhat. They're in this for the practise, once they arrive. An entirely unarmed man likely has little to fear from them... unless he's stupid enough to be on the battlefield.

Well first off none of my Eldar are "men" persay. We're aliens, so that makes it bad for us. Two, it's essentially a dungeon, a place I have no desire for my Eldar to be in.

Maybe I'll just stick to going after Kharne's Necrons.
