[OOC] Trials of Initiation: A Warhammer 40k Salamanders campaign (currently full, apologies!)

Have our little dudes been given a specific objective yet? I assume as scouts we would be forward recon or LZ security or something like that.

You have not been brief for your specific role yet. that will come in the next post. As for wargear, ya shotguns are cool but I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you really want one you can adjust your CS now and it's no big deal, but boltguns are standard issue for a reason, They work in nearly any scenario and environment. I always think of space marine shotguns as clearing cramped space hulks & underground tunnel crawling but you do you.

Ok my first post is up.

Just so you know... yes neophytes are put to work in the forges. In fact this is their primary way of training them before they are deemed good enough for battle training. At least according to the internet...

I also took some poetic license with the means of creating Astartes armor, as on the tabletop Salamanders ignore -1 ap weapons on their armor in addition to the new armor of contempt rules which reduces -2 ap to -1 (which salamanders then ignore... PRETTY SPICY!!). Salamanders may now in fact be one of the strongest marines on the tabletop.

FYI Salamanders also reroll 1 wound dice per squad, per turn. Which is meant to reflect how much better the craftsmanship of their wargear is, as pretty much every salamander repairs their own gear, which allows the chapter artisans to focus on crafting other gear.

Alright. maybe my OP didn't leave enough of a hook for people. I can progress the plot to planetfall if that makes it easier for people
