I've been waiting for the others to post, but seeing as we haven't heard anything in a good while now, I'm happy to press on with this small group, if everyone who is still about is up for that.

Update: life is a bitch but I'm still here, will post when I get home from work

@Andreyich

Hope everything is alright, man!

To hold my post or not. I feel as though a Giant four-armed mutant all but screams "shoot me with a bolter."

Also, if the Astartes thing is going to be a serious problem I can play a different character. I don't want to cause an issue.

@Gallows

Astartes aren't an issue :)

Snicker-snack says the Slaneeshi's sword.

@Lady Selune

I did pick up on the vorpal sword part. Love me some Carroll

“FRAK!”

Laverna crouched for cover in the warped, smoking carcass of the shuttlecraft. Autogun fire, and las beams, roared all around her, as she stooped down behind a wall of twisted metal, and readied herself for combat.

“FEAST ON THEIR FLESH! GUZZLE THEIR BLOOD!”

Mutants, misshapen and deformed, were pouring over a hellscape of bombed-out rubble, and streaming down on the shuttlecraft’s felled corpse.

A furious blast of Laverna’s rifle sent glitter shells soaring through the air, and smashing into an approaching gang of mutant bandits.

Those who weren’t slaughtered by the initial burst staggered to their knees, their brains wracked with visions so horrific that they defied articulation through language. Every cell in their sickly bodies was gripped with heinous terror, rendering them inoperative.

It wasn’t long before the thundering of gunfire ripped those damned souls to tatters.

Bullets and lasers filled the sky. Gnarled chunks of metal littered the ground. Blood and fire soaked the earth.

“DEATH TO THE SPACE WALKERS! BATHE IN THEIR SUFFERING!”

An enormous, lumbering form came looming out of the horde of charging mutants. This goliath towered above even the renegade astartes, with its cracked grey flesh, and numerous, thrashing limbs. Scraps of metal plate were fastened over its gargantuan form, and an abundance of deep, black eyes were dotted across its monstrous face.

In two of its arms were crude, makeshift blades. In the others, it clutched an enormous heavy stubber, with a lance-like set of barrels, which spewed fourth a storm of shrieking shells.

“YOU’VE COME TO THE WRONG FRAKING PLANET, SPACE WALKERS!” the beast bellowed “ONLY DEATH AWAITS YOU!”

I had been under the impression that Ezekiel's post was signaling a new 'turn' of posts.

But I'm excited for this to take off!

@Guy0fV4lor

My post will be something fairly brief, just to give a rough outline of the scenery, and the mutants that are attacking us, etc etc :)

Maybe this is a little bit of bias because I came into this (and designed my character) around the idea of having us be low powered, but I'm not exactly pleased at the moment. I'll stay, but I want my voice to have been thrown into the ring.

@Lady Selune

Hearing you, loud and clear.

Characters like Lady Kotys, and also Laverna might not be able to go toe-to-toe with space marines in combat, but there will be political intrigue and subtle manipulation that we can pull off in a way the others can't. I understand your frustration, but it seems like Kotys and Laverna will be able to excel in more nuanced situations, where our beefy comrades would fall short.

ALSO

I shall crack on with the next IC post.

Really enjoying the posts so far, guys! :D

As a quick aside, I thought it might be worth mentioning that souls are used as a form of currency in chaos space, so Krynne's offer of slaves is also like the equivalent of him giving everyone a big bag of money.

@Ezekiel The pointy twins are approved. Feel free to add them to the CS tab.

@Guy0fV4lor Counting ammunition won't be enforced, as only a portion of the adventure is planned to take place in this environment, but if you want to include that, then by all means go for it :)

The next IC post is up! Let's get this carnival of chaos on the road!
