Preparation

OOC:
Use that thread to discuss leadership, requisition and planning

You need to assign a leader for this mission, choose a mission Oath and you each have access to 100 requisition to use according to your renown.

Would you prefer if I assigned a squad leader?

Don't think Bannus would make a move for leader, this doesn't sound much like a tech related mission. Matter of fact, if the Tyrranids have mostly overrun the planet, there might be little tech left to speak of anyway.

I'm thinking an upgrade to Heavy Bolter, possibly with a shoulder mount and chainsword combo. A motion predictor too, perhaps. Hellfire rounds, most definitely. Still need to finalize the above mix, before spending any leftover requisition on Wargear and Tools

Guts will nominate the rune priest if asked. Mykhaal doesn't want it for now.

Lucian will not desire the role but will take it if there are no clear choices.

Hellfire Rounds (Bolt Pistol) x3 36 Req
Red Dot laser sight (Bolt Pistol) 10 Req
Dipole Mag-Lock x2 (Bolt Pistol, Force Sword) 20 Req
Stummer x2 10 req

Total Requisition: 76.

As for leadership, Whilst later I might take up We are all One specialty deed.. probably not now. hah. He's not trained in Command so probably not wanting to step up to lead as of yet. Unless there's no real choice. Additionally, Ragnar will be using his power of Augury prior to the mission to see what may come. ((I'll post rolls when appropriate!)

@Krajin This is the preparation phase, so it is appropriate to roll them. Depending on the rolls/questions, you may have your answer early or right before the mission.

Since we're looking for some sort of psyker, Bannus' vote lies with Brother Librarian Lucian. Since we're expecting hordes of Tyranids, Oath of Knowledge for a +10WS and BS against Tyranids sounds like a good choice.

Trading the Bolt Gun for an Astartes Heavy Bolter (20req) with a Red-Dot Laser Sight (10req) and a clip of Hellfire Rounds (25req). Gonna grab a Chainsword (5req), a Combi-Tool (15req) and a Multikey (15req) for a total of 90 Requisition.

How many weapons can we bring ?
Just want to make sure, because Guts has a bolt pistol, a bilter and a stalker boltgun... Does he have to chose between the bolter and the stalker boltgun (both basic) or can he have both ?
Or can a devastator have more that one heavy weapon ?

The only limit is common sense. II do consider heavy weapon need to be carried by hand, so it would limit it to one unless you requisition a Servitor or a Guard to carry it for you. Two basic, a melee and a pistol weapon can be carried easily by a Space Marine.

Unfettered Power check: Augury
1D100

( 26 ) = 26

Had to score under 53.

Question posed to the Runes:
What dangers along the path to our target will we face?

Augury Roll once more!
1D100
( 18 ) = 18

Who or what is the target we are going in to rescue?
Apr 17, 2020 5:28 am
Any group recommendations for leftover requisition?

Also, as there been a consensus for the squad leader?
Apr 17, 2020 11:18 am
Guts already took a camoleoline cloak (20), could be a good idea for the rest of the team. Could help our advance, hidding from flyers...
And Guts would still be more comfortable being led by a rune priest. As for Mykhaal, any librarian would do the job.

I'll finalize the req this evening for my two characters. Choice paralysis and all that

I'm good with my load. My vote lies with the Librarian, but Bannus would also be ok with the Rune Priest as a second option. Anyone but the combat-only oriented Battle Brothers, really :P

Almost there.

While I see a consensus for a psyker to lead the kill-team, none of them seem interested. Failing to assign a squad leader would lead to a slight loss of renown, so I recommend someone steps up!

Req seems good and done, so i'll be starting the mission tomorrow.

@Deadpool Yes for the 4 grenade loaded in the launcher

Lucian will accept the role, and administer the Oath of Knowledge.
