40 K Game?

I think I mentioned to PCM along the lines that now the only safe place was behind any artillery. But now that we're not getting the sky falling down about our ears we might have a chance to live... sad when I'm more afraid of my own support then the enemy..

Then never play in a Battletech game where I'm running the arty.

Didn't your CO stand in the middle of Longtom support several times?

Well, he managed to stand up and get out of the target zone. Course the round missed the target and drifted directly along the route he used to escape...and slammed into his Highlander's head.

Well, the Arcos are out. Try not to kill them with friendly fire...and don't get in their way. They're unleashing hell.

Just a point to Nitram: the hellacious fire rate and armour piercing capabilities of the shuriken pistol make it a viable weapon agains the drones, you just need to shoot them alot, which considering how high a shuriken pistol rate of fire, isn't too hard.

Ahhh, pardon. I had basically considered it a foolish choice.

Well then. Time to emulate Natan from From The New World, then.

That's when I yank out Soul Valet. You'll like that one.

Geee.. the last time I saw a battle this one-sided was a ShadowRun where we all got frakked.

If the players would pay attention and know the door near their ships and that lead down are different from the large cargo doors across the roof but on the same building . . . .

And as for the PDF they don't have a line of sight with direct fire weaponry.

Feel free to just post stuff. Your auspexes show no signs of xenos activity nearby. Note that all communication, psychic and technological, is disrupted by the null shell. When the Admech finish launching a shielded cable up one kilometer, then you can use the relay. Clever players may be able to figure out some other means of communication.

Hmmm... the idea occurred to me earlier of using a tight-beam laser to communicate, assuming we had LoS to a receiver. Would the null field be likely to block something like that?

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 12:05 am

Been tried. The beam gets through but one gets gibberesh on the other end.

You can have the Thunderhawk come over an pick you up, but remember, you can't vox it because its no longer on the complex.

Humm? It was under instructions to return.

â€œThen circle back and ready your missiles to join the attackâ€¦â€

Then post yourself on board.

Is there any possibility that one of those alien dreadnaught-alikes could fit inside the Thunderhawk, or would it be too big?

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 3:31 am

It's fucking Thunderhawk. It transports buckets of Marines into battle. If you somehow had the strength to move the wreckage (as if, for example, you were playing power armour wearing demigods

) yes, it could fit.

Methinks this is a cramped ride...and here i was being generous not desiring to bring back the dead bodies of my guardsmen. After all, I need to present them with their letters of absolution. Ah well, I'm sure I can just paperclip it to their uniform when we come back planetside. Not like the administratum ever manages to keep up with all the paperwork anyhow...

The Necrontyr Messenger · Sun Jun 25, 2006 2:06 pm

How many guardsmen died, because you can probably cram a whole pile into a thunderhawk. They carry at least ten marines normally, and we're only five or six, and at a push, we could probably all fit on the top deck, leaving the extensive lower areas and the rear hold open.

Actually, I thought leaving your dead cannon-fodder behind was just good roleplaying.

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 6:07 pm

Two dead guardsmen and two dead arco flagellants. But who cares about the arcos, they were suppose to die...damned heretics.
