In which case it perfectly suits Adrianne's character, what with her preferring to forego safety for EXTRA POWER!!

The Galvanic Rifle sounds cool and all, but will it really be effective versus anything other than an electrical target/robot? :P

@Rithy

The Galvanic Rifle actually takes the possible energy within a being, and causes it to detonate in an electrical explosion. Which would kill anything with any possible energy, including the potential for movement.

Adrianne is currently using a custom made handgun which is just a few sizes smaller than a bolt pistol, though I have been considering switching over to a custom plasma pistol instead.

I just love energy weapons!

@Rithy

Energy weapons are awesome right up until they blow up in your face, for most Imperial plasma weapons.

And I just fond this thing, the Galvanic Rifle. This, i want Stukov running around with one of these. He could take up a longer range role, among other things.

I'm thinking a human-sized Boltgun of some kind could fit Stukov nicely!

Or... dual-wielded bolt pistols!

@Rithy

Hmm, both of those are good, I was looking at Mechanicus weapons and approving there, too!

He sounds like an FPS player. Lightly armored, super-jumpy and twitchy shotgun lover ^^

Stukov should probably ask Zhevon for a Melta-Gun! Despite The Rule of Cool and The Cult of the Shotgun, his old shotgun won't do much vs any enemy with proper armor.

@Rithy

Hah, didnt think of it that way, but he kind of is xD

And tropes shall protect where reality and reason fail us all! But in all seriousness, been looking at what Stukov would know how to use, and its not a lot lol. I'll find some pimping piece of archeotech or OP weaponry and eventually get my grubby hands on it, to the chagrin of all chaos worshippers to be had in the galaxy.

Fun fact: I actually designed Adrianne to be rather tanky xD

I know bad things tend to happen to psykers, and so I gave her refractor field, plate armor and an energy-resistant environment jumpsuit beneath.

And if I could ever give her a character trait, it'd be something along the lines of "Toughness"!

Behold the Psyker tank!

@Rithy

I didn't put any real thought into character archtype for Stukov, he was just kind of a "What haven't I done in W40k before?" approach. And now he is probably the least dangerous out of the party, relatively speaking xD

Compared to psyker powers, bolters and power armor, power weapons, so on and so on from the active group, leaves him in light carapace and an autogun at the moment. Should be interesting seeing him struggle against later enemies.

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

Hah, indeed, poor Adrianne would be in so much more trouble if dice were involved, since then levels of psyker power attempts would be in place. Odds are, both she and Stukov would be dead right now xD

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

<Snipped quote by Eisenhorn>

lol, it'll take some effort for Adrianne to muck-up that badly! I would have loved to see the looks on their faces when you did that :P

Space is dangerous, and often underestimated in fiction. That is why I decided to give Adrianne a suit capable of surviving in space. Though, I doubt it'd help if she imploded xD

@Rithy

Considering I am pretty much banned from all psyker use, and any rolls that would have made my charas psykers are rerolled, it was pretty good. And they did underestimate the void, and the void took them all. And the ship, for that matter. Pretty good times xD

I certainly hope that Adrianne doesn't muck up that bad! Talking about it makes me want to do Black Crusade again, but I don't have the time to GM a tabletop right now Dx

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

<Snipped quote by Eisenhorn>

lol, how many people were in the party? xD

@Rithy

There was about five of us, if memory serves. And the ship decompressed. And I was the only person who had power armor that could take void exposure, and I was busy being dead in the warp.

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

<Snipped quote by Eisenhorn>

I imagined that must have gone down something like the implosion in this fight.



On the bright side, it'd leave nothing to clean up xD

@Rithy

Good news, awesome SC2 video is awesome.

And it was more like the 30m chunk of the ship, in a sphere, kind of poofed. With all teh downsides of being within 30m of the hull did to the rest of the ship. It was a TPK too, which led to me being banned from playing psykers in black crusade ever again xD

Warhammer 40,000 - Chasing Chaos

<Snipped quote by Eisenhorn>

On the bright side, some psyker deaths can include everything from Incineration or Implosions, leaving nothing to clean up :P

If Adrianne goes the way of possession, that doesn't necessarily mean she HAS to turn into a 10ft tall visceral eldritch horror of tentacles and unbridled-rage that spurts gallons of blood all over the workshop!

@Rithy

On the downside, getting taken by the warp could also lead to a 30m+ sphere getting devoured (Which I have personally had happen to a chara of mine before XD)
