@SgtEasy Ja'Far and Ellis will most likely be the team's frontmen, Rykarn and Skarr serving as forward backup, Phalanx running flanking maneuvers, and Vella taking up the rear, watching our six, with Tiberius as our powerhouse caboose. I'm not sure about the others yet.


I have to agree with @Rithy, in term of Tiberius, he like your 'let me get all up in your personal space as I want to be the last thing you see' kind guy.

Also I'm currently working on a post.

@Arcarius@Rithy Well, in that case, might I suggest dual forward teams, One side headed by Tiberius, backed by Vella, Skarr taking up the rear, while Ellis takes point on the other side, backed by Ja'Far. Rykarn runs diversion, behind Phalanx, who strikes at range to soften them up beforehand.

Totally forgot about Rol'Naaris/Rayes. I'd put Rol'Naaris on Diversion with Rykarn, and Rayes on Support behind Ellis and Ja'Far.

God I love 40k but I'm hesitant to make him that zealous in his faith but then again, in for a penny in for a pound amirite?

@PrivateVentures

OHHHH, okay that makes much more sense. Seems like the religious fanatic and the unstable bipolar human will be spending a lot of time fighting together XD

@SgtEasy Two teams, moving in a double helix formation, systematically regrouping in force, then breaking into parallell assault teams, while guys far ahead get sniped out of nowhere, and a Krogan charges through the center with a deadly, invisible helper.

@Rithy I didn't mean it like that! She's just better equipped to fight large groups of soft targets in the open than, say, someone like Ja'Far, who can't handle the spotlight.


She also has a Missile Launcher for hard targets as well :P

(I've actually considered maybe swapping it for like a plasma launcher or something, just for more sci-fi!)

@RithyThe plasma launcher would be more anti-vehicle. Due to the ballistic nature of a missile, the fire and shrapnel are secondary damage, while the brunt of the blow is the kinetic energy released on explosion. This makes the secondary damage types of the missile useless against vehicles, but extremely effective, along with the explosion itself, against infantry.

The plasma launcher just nails something with hot plasma. It doesn't splash far, and it sticks, limiting its capabilities against enemy infantry, but because it sticks so hard, it makes it hell on earth for tanks and mechs. Plasma launchers can also be used to shut down an area from occupation by enemy forces for a limited time. No one wants to enter a room full of hot plasma.

Edit: but nah missiles are awesome. Nothing says 'I mean business so give me all your money' like a rocket pod.

Or maybe I should just go with something more reasonable, like a Flamethrower... ^^

Given Sicaria gets approved, she'll probably be in the front as well.

I always did picture Rayes as more support than a fighter. He'd get rid of shields and enemy barriers from afar or behind someone to make the enemy an easier target with his tech. On missions, while he does that, I also saw him as someone who would open locked doors, bypass security systems, repair things on the field, etc. All in all a definititive tech support character.

Ellis: "Just put it back with the others. It could save your life someday."

@MechonRaptor That's what I figured. Low key sabotage and shield draining, turning hard targets into hard soft targets.

I've already set the tones for "Ja'Far & Phalanx: BFFs 4 Eva" in my recent post XD.

Ja'Far: "IF THOU ART PRACTICING SARCASM PHALANX, AND THOU ART TEACHING PHALANX SARCASM VELLA, I SHALT BE HAVING WORD WITH THOU LATER!!" *gasps heavily as he continues to jog, carrying Phalanx like a father would for his child on his shoulders*
