As an exercise in boredom, and in preperation to run the Deathwatch Demo-Rules for a few friends I have started working on minis of the pregens from Final Sanction. Today I finished assembling.

What does /tg/ think?

According to someone with a Gencon copy the suits have the built-in equivalent of recoil gloves that let them use Basic weapons one handed, so its not so far fetched. Besides the Sacris Claymore is basically the same stats as a combat knife with an extra +4 damage.

Since I've got this thread, I'll put this musing here instead of a new one.

Given a drop-pod exists to deploy a Dreadnought. Do you think one of them could be adapted to instead carry marine bikes (two or three) to a Kill-team needing transportation?

I'm just trying to think of things that I could do to make missions more interesting, and being able to deploy the kill-team equipment in the field could be interesting. Need a vehicle? Drop in some bikes or a Speeder (Doubt you could fit a speed into a Dreadnought pod though, unless you partially disassembled it).

Also, here is an idea I had for an adventure/mission that isn't just a combat fest:

The Kill-team is on a transport carrying supplies for the crusade (As well as a smaller shipment for the Inquisition, the Kill-team being part of it) to the war-fronts, when must make a translation to avoid a small warpstorm. It finds itself in a system that hasn't really been scouted in the millennium since the Imperium pulled out, and was labeled "un-noteworthy" at the time. However it detects a habitable world.

Pulling into orbit it detects signs of civilization, just in time to be set upon by an Eldar Corsair (Dark Eldar too). The transport has no chance against the raider and is quickly defeated. Preferably the Kill-team helps repel boarders for a bit, but are ultimately ordered to preserve themselves and flee the ship in one of their drop-pods, shortly before the ship takes a massive salvo from the D.Eldar (who the PCs forced to fall back from a boarding attempt) and loses control, falling into the atmosphere.

Basically they find themselves on a human populated medieval world, dominated by a religion with some trappings of the Imperial Creed, but also some chaos influences (how subtle I'm not sure). Psykers known to the populace (who speak an extremely degenerated form of Low Gothic) as"Wizards" exist and often rule small duchies and kingdoms (and the Wizards will not be happy with these "star demons"). Feral Orks are about, and signs of the Dark Eldar occasionally raiding the populace for slaves and playthings.

What does the Kill Team do? Do they just sit tight and wait for rescue? Will rescue come? Did they get an astropathic distress call off? Did the Dark Eldar notice the Kill-team escaped? Will they want to hunt the Marines?

What will they do for supplies? The power packs will last for about a month of use (IIRC), and they've only got whatever ammo they can carry and was in the pod (a handful of reloads each). Can they find more supplies in wreckage from the ship? Presumably the main body of the ship came down somewhere, do they try to find it?

I figure in a month or so an Imperial Frigate/Cruiser shows up in orbit to investigate the distress call. Until then they just gotta survive the attentions of the local wizard/sorcerers, the Feral Orks (who take a big interest in these 'ard metal men) and the Dark Eldar, who would love to have some Astartes trophies/slaves. I'm a bit worried that such an adventure might be frustrating for the players however. Stuck with dwindling supplies on a backwater world.

The FFG page on Templars states that brothers inducted into the Deathwatch often have to spend days in meditation just to take their killsense from "FUCKYOUANDDIEWITCHSCUM" down to "happyplacehappyplacesistersandhoney."
Even then, if the Librarian even so much as thinks about having an opinion, brother-Templar is going to make the resident Space Wolf look civil.

The Heavy Bolter is 2d10+10 X -/-/10

And these are the simplest of the Marine's equipment, the standard issue! Imagine when they get renown to start requisitioning heavier equipment.

>In playtesting two rank 1 marines killed a Daemon Prince in one turn. Things have been tweaked a little since then, but not enough that this would be completely outside the realm of possibility.

>There was a little bit of Righteous Fury. It was mostly a combination of Heavy Bolters being death on legs to anything that's outside of their charge range (which to be fair was pretty big) and Librarians being really nasty if they decide "I'm being attacked by a Daemon Prince, what's the worst that can happen if I push my powers?". Psychic powers in particular took a lot of attention to find a good middle ground with.

Honestly that almost sounds TOO powerful.

Well, Demon Princes are very strong Space Marines with no guns. So, technically, it isn't too weird.

But yeah, just two marines taking down a Demon Prince is a bit much. Or actually... less.

Well, one was a Psyker going all out. Don't play tabletop, can your typical Librarian be a valid threat to a Daemon Prince?

Angron's Daemon Prince form was also given stats for Apocalypse in GW's site. He's not that much more powerful than a standard daemon prince, so I guess four rank 1 marines would kill him with relative ease if he's ever statted for DW.

Fuck yeah, Tau stats. If I GM Rogue Trader, I'd totally have a Tau colony ship lost in the Warp and tossed halfway across the galaxy due to a warp drive malfunction.

Well, one also has to remember that, being a d6 based system. Everything in the tabletop is kinda squished into the middle due to there only being 6 results possible.

Basically tabletop isn't necessarily an accurate reflection of "fluff", then again the fluff is extremely nebulous. I guess my method will be if I think something is too weak, add more wounds!

Though a Librarian desperately going all out with his powers to wound/stagger/stun a Daemon prince long enough for his Devastator buddy to rip it apart with bolter fire (possibly while their fellow Battle-Brothers are holding back a horde of lesser daemons) and killing it that quickly is kinda badass, and might be allowed to stand, depending on the circumstance.

Actually it appears that the Imperium controls the Warp-gate between the Jericho Reach and the region around Calixis.

Most of the troops fighting the crusade are from Calixis/Scarus/Ixaniad Sectors THINK they're fighting in the Margin Crusade at the edge of the Imperium's borders near Calixis. In actuality that crusade reached a disastrous end decades ago and they've been transported across the galaxy and are fighting in the Eastern Fringe. They're fighting the crusade the secure the area around the Jericho side.

LOL no, If I ever used Angorn in a DW game, the players are dead before they realize just how fucked they are. Wouldn't matter how high ranked you were, or what kind of fancy pants equipment you had, at best you're going to manage to distract him with a guard regiment or two while you flee.

Undead corrupted Tau corpses on a Tau Spacehulk? Fuck yeah.

Especially since the resident Tau faggot will rage like a motherfucker.

"Tau can't be possessed!"

That's right. The Tau aren't possessed. They're corrupted. And there is no immunity for corruption.

That explains the Kroot, then, and it makes the PC Rogue Traders encountering Tau entirely plausible. I take it that they don't have permanent bases on either side of it, like Port Wander and Footfall are on either side of the Koronus Passage?

Also, I wonder if they'll do a Tau career path when they do an Eldar one, given the existance of said Warp Gate means O'Shovahite Tau could make their way to the Koronus and Calixus Sectors.

It's possible for a vessel and its inhabitants to survive a disastrous Warp travel accident. Not terribly likely, but possible, especially for the Tau since they wouldn't get as many daemons turning up to nom on their souls.

Oh no, I imagine they have the warp-gate locked down tight (They are constantly sending additional men and material to Jericho afterall). They are probably large fleets stationed on either side.

Plus they've got a big conspiracy going on, keeping most people out of the loop that there IS a gate to help prevent the Imperium's enemies from learning of it.

Anyways the Primary enemies/warfronts/salients of the Crusade in the Reach are:

Tau
Chaos
Hive Fleet Dragon

In addition at least two Space Marine Chapters have sent companies to support the Crusade, those being the Space Wolves and Storm Wardens.

How does that work with Astropaths? Can't they tell that the people receiving their messages if they need to contact home planets for reinforcements are all suddenly much farther away than they are supposed to be?

Hence the Most people part. Astropaths are a controlled element.

"Send all messages to the crusade to these Astropaths (totally not Throne Agents, we swear) they'll relay the message beyond the Margin.

Those bastards! And I'll bet money that the con I go to won't have it on sail, even though it's the weekend before the official release date.
