Just a suggestion before I forget it completely. Could we say the new blood answer the astropathic call, remaining members of another kill-team on a small inquisition ship, or something like that?

Req was 50? I got 45 in gear but iirc we where buying heavy weapons for some people.

I took Force Dome as a power. Might take a little edge from my Smite but i think protecting us from most ranged attacks is a good help.

So i took this.

20 Camo Cloak
01 Chrono
04 Astartes Harness
25 Melta Bomb

The meltabomb seems like a solid choice for a prime target. Not sure how usefull the camo cloak will be inside the ship though so i am open for other suggestions.

What is our Renown at this point?

as i understand it hasn't risten to 20+ so still booring gear.

I'm thinking of bringing a flamer on for our little boarding action. Maybe even a heavy flamer, unless a devastator beats me to it. Any other suggestions for kit, team leader, oaths etc?

Requisition spending (this is what I requisitioned first time around, and it worked well)

Extra Chainsword 5
Astartes Assault Shotgun 7
2 Nova grenades 30


I'll contribute 8 Requisition for the Team's use.

I got the psy flamer but vs hordes Smite is so much more effective its silly. Mostly cause my rolls DC gets all the size modifiers too.

My spends are:

Chainsword - 5
Kraken Rounds - 15
Hellfire Flamer - 25 (First Founding)

The last 5 points can go into the team pool, if they don't get used I'll nab a dipole maglock for the chainsword.

Looks like I'll need to spend thusly:


Leaving 3 for the general fund.

Why is your melta bomb 12 and mine 25?

Also should we also take a multi melta or las cannon?

Errata vs. Core, I suspect. Changes Kraken rounds too, although the errata raises Kraken by 10, but, sadly, does not reduce Hellfires' cost.

Not enough Renown for Lascannon or Multi-Melta. I can use them in a pinch but without Unrelenting Devastation a Heavy Bolter or Heavy Flamer lose some of their value. I really need a Hesh Pattern or Precision Bolter, but alas... not famous enough.

What about bunging a suppression suspensor from First Founding onto a heavy bolter?

The Suspenssor let's me treat the Heavy Bolter as Basic for Move and Fire, right? Use Metal Storm ammo to offset not having Unrelenting Devastation? Be hell on hordes, for sure.

The suppression stabiliser (my bad) lets you hit a target location twice before having to move on when in full or semi auto.

The Heavy Bolter option looks something like:


Looks like I'll need 10 points out of the pool and we're not shooting any big creatures to any meaningful effect. Hordes we'll melt though.

Edit: In retrospect the Surpression Stabilizer doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense with Metal Storm rounds. -/-/10 rof with Blast (2) doesn't gain much by hitting the same location. Dropping the Stabilizer and spending those 10 points on Hellfire rounds lets us ignore Natural Armor though.

Thoughts?

Sounds ok to me, that and my flamer should help deal with hordes. If I've got the right end of the stick, our two sharks can stomp on  hordes and individual beasties alike.

It might be worth you guys getting the Forging the Bond talent too, so we can all share chapter squad patterns.

Already did. Spent some for Command and Fellowship too.

I like to point out that this shark is set up to put the hurt on hordes mainly. But a psy weapon is nasty on low will critters.

So as i all of a sudden got 13 points left. I could take a soundstrike missile launcher with krak missiles for that odd hard target.


20 Camo Cloak
01 Chrono
04 Astartes Harness
12 Melta Bomb
10 Soundstrike Missile Launcher with excessive Missiles (3)

Or we save 18 points and get someone a breaching augur? Lets ignore walls!!

That sounds like a plan. Take the Soundstrike and I'll take the Heavy Bolter with the Hellfire rounds.

Should we use some of the pooled Req to grab a teleport homer?

If it's available, yeah that's a good idea.
