[OOC] Valiant Heroes, Vile Heresies [Warhammer 40,000 Death Watch]

[Leolycan]

I'll get my init up at some point. Power to half of our town (luckily my half- joy) is down till at least tomorrow.

"I have no experience with this Xenos ilk, but it sounds like an ambush would be in order. Much harder to accomplish as we'll be on their turf, but if we were to lure them into an enclosure..." The Angel trailed off in thought. Despite his lack of experience with these 'Tau',

@Leolycan

This tidbit in your latest post somewhat bothered me. We are supposed to be the deathwatch, the best mankind has to offer when it comes to combating xenos. For an astartes in the deathwatch to have no experience whatsoever fighting tau (or any specific xenos race for that matter) strikes me as highly unusual. At the very least he would have picked up some theoretical knowledge about the tau somewhere along his induction into the deathwatch.

[Leolycan]

Practicle, no personal. He can learn about them all day ling, but that doesn't means he has any first hand experience. That being said, he's hunted down orks, eldar, and heretics most noticibly, with a small excursion against a tyrnanid force and brief run in with sylth, rakghoul, and strixis- but depending on the year this story takes place- Tau are not common knowledge. Senior members of the Deathwatch for sure, but the idea is Dominous is a recruit.

[SomeChap]

@Leolycan Does have a point here. There is a massive difference between reading about something, then actually have to do that thing or in this case kill that thing, and Tau are extremely adaptable. Besides, he may well be a new initiative into the Deathwatch.

That'd be a 9

[SomeChap]

Initiative follows as such then:
@MaxxRocker - 14
@Al - 13
@Natsucooldude - 11
Librarian - 11
@Leolycan - 9

[MaxxRocker]

Alright I will work on my post ASAP. For future reference is it okay to hold actions and act on a later initiative to allow ranged etc people to go before me?

@MaxxRocker

That'd be fine, yes.

[Al]

I, literally can not wait to write about explosions... or, well, melee now I guess. But still!

[MaxxRocker]

Hey guys since it was given the okay Al you and the others can go ahead and post I got some personal shit going on in my life and I don't wanna hold things up on account of that. By the time you guys are done posting I should be all sorted out.

[Al]

@MaxxRocker Oh damn, that sucks. Hope everything works out, man.

I guess I'll go now then...
Full action to charge the Xenos! Which means I get into contact, then make a single melee attack with +10 WS
So, 75 or under to hit.

35, hit

10+4 = 14

[SomeChap]

@Al Nice rolls. Feel free to post.

@MaxxRocker It's all good man, hope stuff all works out for the better.

[Natsucooldude]

@Leolycan You're up.

[Leolycan]

Rolled a 16 vs 49... Though I was wondering, do I get any bonuses for using the Narthecium and the Diagnostor Helmet for the medicae check to recover the gene-seed?

[SomeChap]

I would say yes, the helm allows you to quite literally see inside a space marine through a use of what are basically X-rays. I see no reason why it would not have functions to allow gene-seed extraction.

I'd say a +10 to the test for each implement, plus it makes sense IC.
+20 overall.

[Leolycan]

Don't exactly know how we're handling actions here, but-

1 Action to remove gene-seed
1 Action to aim down sights to fire

[Maxx]

Initiative follows as such then:
@MaxxRocker - 14
@Al - 13
@Natsucooldude - 11
Librarian - 11
@Leolycan - 9

@SomeChap

For some reason I was tagged in this. My name is trending. That is all.

[Natsucooldude]

@Maxx you should make a bug report about that really. Admin can.t fix this little bug otherwise.
