The Warhammer 40.000/Fantasy Discussion Thread Mk.II

[Ardavia]

I was thinking more things like sights or instruments being damaged or destroyed in battle.

I mean, the average schmuck guard vehicle operator probably might know how to patch an electrical cable or something, but repairing a delicate and complex instrument used for sighting or something?

They can live without it. They're convicts after all.

Oh, yeah, the convicts are disposable.

But the tank isn't as cheap as some schmuck convict is.

I still propose my idea as better for a penal legion:

Give everyone a cheap disposable rocket launcher and a lasgun, throw them in a cheap and disposable transport like a truck, and drive them towards enemy lines.

Explode everything with the rocket launchers, pull out the lasguns and shoot anything that survived.

Convicts are disposable, lasguns are probably produced in greater numbers than there are guardsmen, and the rocket launchers shouldn't be that expensive if you just make a tube with a crude iron sight and a primitive rocket. And any unreliable rockets won't kill anyone likely to be particularly missed, anyway.

The tank in question is part of a doomed regiment.

The truck idea is a manly idea.

Pretx do a csm warband with me.

I don't feel like it.

[Partially Blind People]

Kharn's a pretty swell guy but he isn't exactly playboy or men's health material.

[Napkiraly]

The sexiest character is obviously Ravenor, post explosion.

[Ardavia]

no love for idranel

:c

He'd do pretty well at the Olympic weekend though.

Basically female Matt Ward she is.

So let's have the newest Argentum regiment rolled up

1d10-3 Imperial Guard
1d100-19 All Female
1d10-6 Standard Conscription
1d100-66 Imperial World
1d100-80 Urban
1d100-84 Artillery
1d10-8 Shock and Awe

Meh... Much boring, guess I could roll with some artillery.

You just rolled Thermidor Spitfire regiment!

Problem is that it fits too well with the sorta standard deal regiment (beyond all female).

Forgot some rolls
1d10-7 Undiciplined
1d100-25 Specialized Lasgun Pattern
1d100-70 Best of the Best
1d100-100 League of Black Ships (???)
1d100-2 ALLY IS ENEMY
1d100-54 Adeptus Titanicus (Enemy)

[Imperial City-States]

It's stupidly impractical, a waste of resources (trained tank crews), and completely absurd.

In other words, incredibly Imperial.

I'm now convinced this actually happens somewhere.

>Trained tank crews
>Implying Imperial forces train when life expectancy on battlefield = 15 hours (IIRC)

15 hours was for a particular unit in a WW1 type situation against the orks. Average lifespan for a Guardsmen in heavy combat is about forty ish hours.

They're cocky, trigger-happy mavericks who once may have accidentally destroyed an Imperial titan in the grid square they were levelling. For some reason, they're cool with the League of Black Ships who help counterbalance the Admech's chipped shoulder and sometimes shit Tempestus Scions for them.

Those are the public figures.

Actual life expectation is ~5 minutes

Regiment enemies: Got a 2 so rolled on friends and got- Adeptus Astartes (specific chapter)

I thought that would be most logical, or perhaps due to their 'priesthood', something like friends with Black Templars and enemies with someone else.
