I'm going to have to go with the 'Don't use the gunship to blow up our own vehicles' group.  It would have been fine to call it on the Carnifex cause it took a number of rounds to arrive, but this is not only here now but in close combat with the vehicle.

Should have a post up later today.

First the Cadians, then Biggs and Wedge and Jack and Jill... This squad is 'twinning'

Isn’t that short for “Two forms of winning”?

i dont really know what the kids are saying nowadays...

Maybe it's a genetic by product of the planet the Zakurians are from that was destroyed? Disproportionately high number of twins?

Well...

It's not like making clones of humans is that difficult right Ghost?

Genetic manipulation to induce multiples using live birthing hosts rather than iron wombs.  Totally feasible for Arcetrians.

Home in about 6-7 hours. Will have to decide which thing to dodge this round. Seems likely the meltagun got its attention but anything energy is suspect now to its alien brain. It might let the first plasma strike it just to find out if the second is not a threat. Not sure about the Hellgun yet.

Hmm...no comment? Ok I'll put dinner on the table and get to work.

Wait, you're letting us choose which hit the critter dodges?  How about Jansen's melee hits once it closes with the Salamander? ;)

What you proposed sounds perfectly fine by me, the xeno mind is an unknowable maze not to be considered by mortal men....

I could always say that the Hive mind doesn't consider lasguns/hellguns as particularly meddlesome compared to autocannons, plasma guns and melta guns...but seeing as they can do some serious damage while the hellgun can't clearly that means it should dodge the hellgun :P

Nah, I just wondered if there would be banter about the situation is all.

Actually, I have a legit question while I'm cooking: if a person hits an opponent for, say, 20 damage on a 2d10+5 roll, and that includes an RF result, and the damage is reduced to only 1 point going through because of Toughness, armor, resistance, etc...does the RF get negated because the damage is below the minimum possible roll [7] for the weapon attack, or is it 'as long as any damage is done the RF stands'?

I'm pretty certain it's any damage that goes through lets the RF stand.  More accurately, it's when no damage goes through that the RF is converted to a single point...so it's logical to assume that the RF stands unless that specific condition is met.

Much as I really wanted to see my 10 Fatigue RF light up the Trygon you guys getting through the Wounds is far more important.

Speaking of RF’s...

Biggs both of your AC rounds rolled 10’s so you made RF’s of your own.

do you fellas with plasma guns have krak grenades? 2d10+4 Pen 6, Concussive isn't that bad

EDIT: Yes, Grenades have a range of SB x3 but you don't take Long Range penalties untils twice your maximum range, and it's also a free action nobody has taken yet to say DRIVE ME CLOSER; I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD

Our kraks are Mk IIs so the Concussive value is (1).  Even more boss.  Doesn't help me being stuck in with the beast, but if someone *else* has a sling and wants to lob one at the critter, I'm certainly not going to complain.

Not going to use any of mine here.

I’m too busy during lasbolts into the thing and bringing down its electrical field so it doesn’t shock the he’ll out of you all along with cutting you in half.  We better kill it quick before it chops Honey in half...

I mean if you want me to throw a grenade into a small area filled with comrades and one big enemy, sure, I'll go edit accordingly.

Krak grenades aren't Blast, so as long as you hit the critter there's no danger to us.  I think.  Unless you knock it prone and it falls on top of me, which I doubt would smell very good.

I hit it with the thing. Righteous Fury as well.

That was a damn good grenade toss.

Yeah, it was! It has to try to dodge Biggs first because the electrical field doesn't deflect projectiles, just energy weapons, and though it soaks all the damage from Zilch and Two-bit, the hits from the grenade and the meltagun [damn that Pen value] will probably be enough to drop it.

Yes, it easily dodges the autocannon fire in the dice roller....so it gets stunned by the grenade and killed by the melta after it falls off the back of the truck. I still have to roll up its attack, though, which is a Swift vs Ghost but will spread over the team like they were a single target, so Ghost, Ghost, Two-bit if I manage to get enough DoS.

Which it fails.

Not sure I can write this up on my lunch break but I'll get to it after work if I can't. Heading out the door now.

Wow, that's...I guess I can't really complain about always botching my overheat roll, can I?

Bad rolls love company~

I’m actually pretty proud of how I wrote the description of your poor  beat-up Salamander. Heh.

Richard the Deep Breather for sure!
