Default First amongst the Fallen ooc

Welcome to the OOC thread for the First amongst the Fallen black crusade campaign. Please post completed character sheets in this thread and pick your voice colours- preferably ones that match your god. Do not post in the IC thread till you have done so. If you could also tell me where you are from and how often you can post that would be appreciated.

When you arrive at the Flight Deck you'll find Devron Kayruth, and his terminator bodyguards and a human wearing Cadian Pattern guard armour over a pristine white robe.

Kayruth is incredibly cold-hearted and ambitious, even by Legion standards. It is rumoured behind his back that he was responsible for the death of Captain Solvan at the Emperors palace.

I noticed something which may cause some issues for some starting item acquisitions (Edit: Actually only affects Henry's Lightning Claw and Reaper Autocannon): Ancient Warrior only increases the availability on items with "Legion" in their title, i.e. "Legion Combi-bolter", "Chainsword (Legion)" or "Legion Terminator Armour". Reaper Autocannon, for example, doesn't have it in its title and thus doesn't apply for the increase in availability.

Edit: Is it possible we can change around the speaking scheme? There's a better and more flexible way, as you sometimes want to use bold/cursive when doing speech.

"Spoken voice/External vox."
Thoughts
"++Vox link/Internal vox.++"

That's how it would look in the case of Korofos.

Is this the case, Grailkeeper? Because these are rather obviously Legion weapons, but I can make some changes if watup is correct.

"Long War weaponry is also easier for him to obtain and
all weapons with the word “Legion” in the title count as one
Availability category easier than normal (i.e. Rare becomes
Scarce, Scarce becomes Average, etc.)."


Pretty clear-cut going by the talent description.

From Lightning Claw entry:

"This variant of Lightning Claw requires power armour to use, but
can be used by Legionnaires or humans."


Both Legionnaires and humans share the same model, there's not a specific Legion variant.

I suppose the Reaper Autocannon could be argued being a Legion weapon as it's mostly CSM using it as far as I know? Though it's not made specifically for Legionnaire use.

What watupwitdat has said is correct. It has to have the word legion in the title.

Everyone feel free to post in the IC thread. You won't need your weapons (hopefully) for the inital briefing.

I'll modify the sheet.

Edit: Ok, I'll add Ammo Glutton to them both. And before you say I can't, Ammo Glutton does say "Any Weapon".

Which is obviously a mistake. Do Cursed Metal. He's got high toughness, anyway.

How was that a technicality? It said "Legion in the title". I'd argue I used logic.

And going by logic, a melee weapon which doesn't use ammo cannot be an "ammo glutton".

Edit: I'd also say the ruling regarding dual wielding heavy weapons was incorrect, as you can do that in terminator armour.

Or it's considered a house-rule for this game that you cannot dual wield heavy weaponry in termi armour.

Yes, but it's a classic Terminator weapon, and one of the only ones I could use. By all rights, it should have been a Legion weapon, or at least have some Legion variant.

Logic does not apply to Chaos or efforts at Rules Lawyering.

You can take a Legion Chainfist. ^^ You just can't Parry with it.

And I agree, it should be a Legion weapon. I thought it was myself until I looked a little closer at Ancient Warrior.

Edit: You can always ask for the Lightning Claw to be houseruled to count as a Legion weapon.

Edit2: Or take Cursed Metal instead, as mentioned. 1 damage if you fail a T test as a follower of nurgle? That's going to be like 1 damage every other combat, at most. Which is nothing in the grand scheme of things. And followers of Nurgle get max back from infamy points to recover wounds, so there's that.

You misunderstand. The entire point of having the weapon is to parry. If someone feels they stand a chance in close combat with a Terminator, they're completely insane or they do, in which case I need something to defend myself with. I have A+TB 24 and a force field of 35, but that doesn't make me invincible and I know it.

If it's the Parry which is important, why not go for a Legion Power Sword? They have good damage and Pen (though not as good damage, admittedly), but you get +10 Parry for being Balanced.

Don't take the P*ss- everthing watsupwithdat has said is true. I'll use my GM's fiat to say that it eats your power supply- counteracting the effect of the stable powersupply.

I don't want to get stuck on this kind of childish squabbling.

Alright. Cursed metal it is.

Edit: Did it. Also opted to spend my last 100xp on a Toughness advance. I was going to save it, but I feel I may need it more now.

Cursed Metal actually gives +20 (Unique 70->Near Unique 50), which lands it at Best Craftmanship.

Might seem like a tough target but remember this is your LONG TERM campaign goal. I can't say anything more without giving away what'll happen very soon in the campaign.

It feels strange being the only melee character in the group.

What's Malich's fighting style? Throwing Doombolts from afar or hitting people with the Staff of Change?

Maybe Disarm is more useful than Double Team if there's no flanking buddy. Though, why Disarm when you can kill people...

Kayruth still carries Captain Solvan's relic blade and combi bolter. One of the other terminators has two chain fists. Two of the others are armed with combi meltas and power fists. The last is armed with a heavy flamer and lightning claw. This unit of 5 is known as 'the hand'. They could take you guys pretty quickly.

At the moment a mix of both. Later with more powers I'll see what takes my fancy.
