Well, if we plan on being a Guerrilla regiment, we can't really be raised on a Hive Planet. I honestly am neutral on the make-up of our regiment, but I prefer the Covert Strike doctrine.


Oh yeah, and character forthwith, most likely tonight once I've read my manual. Which was totally procured by legitimate means.

You don't wanna take the few and mistrusted it'd make replacing men a nightmare and were going to need to replace a lot of men.

[Parsely]

I volunteer my interest! Mooks have a special place in my heart.

[Caellath]

@Remuthra: Yeah. It'd be particularly interesting if we managed to amass enough recognition to call tactical airstrikes whenever needed. Earning the right to stand back and watch the fireworks when your regiment has a fairly large number of troop carriers/gunships would be fun.

By the book, The Few only becomes an actual problem when you have to replace your comrades, usually in case the GM is killing them left and right or you just happen to be unlucky. In general, it's a good drawback to pick.

On a different note, remember that riding anything (horses, Krieg quasi-horses, robodinos, regular dinos, bears, tigers) is a different skill than driving/piloting.

[Again_Dejavu]

So... are Robo-Dinos a go?

[Caellath]

I find the concept a bit over-the-top, but it depends on the other players. That and Harbinger never specified how those robo-dinos are supposed to look, unless that image he posted is what he had in mind. Going with that means a Rough Rider regiment and possibly a Forge World origin; a planet ruled by the red robes is the most likely to have that kind of tech and the means to maintain it.

Alternatively, the regiment could be High-Born and the mounts could easily be waved as the result of eccentric and rich people playing soldiers. Maybe something like winged hussars or even fancier monocle-wearing knights mounted atop mechanic critters because their families have the cash to buy and keep that kind of stuff.

+1 to that.

[Remuthra]

The campaign now has a name. Yay.

[Caellath]

+1 to that.

That looks a lot like our last Drop Troop regiment (relevant links: 1 2 3). Multi-melta can't be a favored weapon due to how rare it is and the favored basic weapon slot is usually - though not necessarily - spent on as deadly a Basic weaponry you can give your weapon specialists (melta or plasma).

*shrug* I've never played this before.

Background/Description: Atlal is a tall, slight man with olive skin and a face of high cheekbones and sharp features dominated by a beak of a nose. His hair is black, descending in an uneven cascade not even the rigors of military life have been able to neaten. When going into battle, he dabs his face with ashen warpaint in the way of his fathers. The jaguar pelt resting on his shoulders is his own kill, and he wears his obsidian daggers hanging over his chest.

Atlal is known to be silent when nothing is to be said, charming when he needs to be with a slight smile and a glint in his eyes. When going underground and into the regiment's favoured environment, Atlal turns tense and focused, as if expecting something to jump at him from any shadow. Despite, or perhaps because of, this, he stays cool, level-headed and never lets his guard down until safety is reached again. Though the man wouldn't tell you so directly, this stems from a childhood incident where Atlal fell into a deep, dark tunnel and was trapped with a jaguar. It was an experience he has never quite been able to escape.

Yeah, that was directed more at adwarf than anyone. Your post just happened to be the most convenient to quote.

Demolitions -3

Good?
((Robo-Dino mounted Guerilla warfare FTW))

[Parsely]

Didn't you already post that? I'm all for robot dinosaurs, but not in this game, really.

[Again_Dejavu]

Yeah, have we came to a consensus on what we want?
