The first mission

@Elyas your TN will be 47 in this case, no range penalty or bonus to your BS skill. So a 71 would be a miss. Rerolling your miss with a fate point is an option.

@Team As this his a new system for most if not all, I compiled here some options you have that you may not be aware of.

Bolter advance tactics can be called out by anyone in squad mode for 3 cohesion point. It represent the advantages of superior teamwork and coordination in action. This gives a free bolter or grenade attack to everyone in squad mode. Cohesion can be regained be accomplishing objectives or spending fate points and squad mode can be joined as a free action with a cohesion test (rolling 7 or less on a d10 atm) or by spending a fate point.

Frag grenade do 5 magnitude damage at a horde

You can move at a half action and use the other half action for an attack both forward or backward of the melee. Ennemies engaged in melee with you will have an attack against you but, in this case, they cannot do much against you.

Those with a jump pack can actually fly and hover for 1 minute before having to let the pack cool down, allowing tactical options.

Last point, a horde damage is maxed at Magnitude 20 and significantly less at 19 or lower, so make sure to put some priority into thinning the biggest hordes.

Using swift attack to attack twice.
I know we can't parry a horde, but Stein has counterattack, does he manage to get an extra hit in ? (will roll parry and an extra attack just in case. If the answer is no, just ignore them.)

@Melanqolia Even if the reroll was a miss, don't forget to note the spent Fate point.

@Deadpool While Stein do probably use his counterattack skill in the fight, it kill one only and is not enough to count as a magnitude hit.

OOC:

@Banshianna Since the heavy bolter has no standard attack option, it would require a full action to fire. A grenade or a shot from the bolt pistol would work with the half action.

You will want a Deathwatch suspensor for that when you hit Respected renown ;)

Oh! okies. Grenade a move then? It that roll a success? I'll use a Fate if not

On my phone and bookless. Can you roll me a semi auto burst with metal storm rounds on the gargoyles?

The squad leader roll a Fear (3) test for the squad (WP test with -20) as does all the members in solo mode (WP test with -20). A squad member can use its reaction to enter squad mode with a cohesion test (d10 TN current cohesion 7). Failure on the test mean you spend your next full action entering the squad mode. Alternatively, spending a fate point succeed the test automatically.

So I take the leader's roll? Good Luck GG!

Squad mode engage

Trying the cohesion test

Can we spend the Fate after the failed roll?

The squad take 3 cohesion damage, bringing the pool down to 4 cohesion points. One cohesion point can be restored by spending 1 fate point.

Yes, I would have cleared the jam last round.
Hoping to hit both groups of Hormogaunts with this grenade.
