Fail. 2 degrees. I just see a hulking terminator in front of me.

So Lucius ordered Bleda and Ashmon to wait at the top of the hole to cover our retreat if we need it (or be ordered down) and both of y'all are now in the hole. I am not mad, I am just disappointed.

Didn't include the Terminator auspex since I assume it has to be actively used rather than a passive device in his HUD (?). Otherwise, it'll be another +20 and another 2 DoS

Does terminator armor have a built in auspex? In any case Hydrako gets a DM for having the highest result.

Oof, that's the one thing I cannae be. When I started playing Warhammer the shop owner called them 'cheese wolves' and the pre-teen boy played them. Their Devestators had a +1 Ballistic Skill over every other Marine chapter (but a -1 Weapons Skill that never came up) and their Assault Matines had a +1 Weapon Skill.
I like vikings and werewolves, but I can't bring myself to like Space Wolves. Does that make me a bad person?
But Black Templar? I could do that. They have that ability, too?

Chainsword in one hand for now. Half action grab a frag grenade, half action throw it into the water on side I'm on. Away from me a bit where I sense immenient attack.
IC Sensing something in the water around them Grimnir brings his chainsword roaring to life, ready to attack or defend depending on what happened next. Not bothering wait for the attack he grabbed a frag grenade and threw it into the sloshing water. He knew the water would dampen the explosion but it should rouse whatever lurked below the black waters surface.
your AG bonus is 5(+10 to your current AG modifier) since you're in your PA.

@Dave - Equipping gear is always a free action assuming it's on your combat-webbing/belt. So, you could get in a 1/2 action aim as well if you needed to. SPACE MARINES PLAY ON EASY MODE!
1 DoS, just kinda remembered how PA STR bonus is applied.

If you're in an unopposed test you get a +10 for unnatural trait (strength); in an opposed like this, as long as your opponent doesn't also have unnatural, you should get an additional DOS.

It has unnatural strength. But this is an opposed WS test. Khol has 2 dos and the enemy has 1 dof, so Khol is not Grappled.
Khol slips out of the grip of the xenos, his stature must've given him that extra advantage. As a response, he naturally discharged his lascannon into one of the tentacles onto Cassiel as a painful lesson onto making such an attempt.

I'll wait for DDMW to post, but I will likely be calmly pumping mass-reactive bolter rounds into this thing while chewing on some recycled nutrient paste.

Having stepped aside, Cassiel realizes that he has the creature, whatever it is, in his sights. Unlike the lascannon, the heavy bolter could make this thing bleed. He depressed the firing rune and heard the staccato scream as the mass-reactive rounds launched themselves away from his bolter, and the following dull thuds as they exploded in xenos flesh.

Base roll is 3 degrees of success; point blank and aim should be +2.
That should be 19, 25, 23, 25, 20, 24 damage.
Was looking at the gun stats for the Pen, its 1d10+12 with 5 pen and tearing. That means the damage is actually: 17,20,20,22,17, and 21. Not sure what those last 3 rolls are for?

** Combat PSA - don't forget we have Signum Links - we always count +10 ganging up or +20 if you have the Double Team Talent **
OOC: Semi Auto Attack vs beastie boy BS 52 +70 (Mastercraft/Signum Link (double team)/Aim/Motion Predictor/size/Hunter of Aliens) -20 (called shot to its "head") <102; rolled 3/All the DOS
IC: Lucius took up a firing position that allowed him to fire past Cassiel and Khol, and hopefully give the Astartes behind him clear lanes of fire as well. As he shifted, he calmly squeezed the trigger of the Hesh Bolter. Four rounds were fired at whatever this tentacled monstrosity considered a head.

Just double checking, but Bleda and Ashmon are to hold their positions until the rest of you have reached the Armoury, correct?

That's what I thought would be a good idea, but I also thought we were right next to the Armory already. It appears we have to keep trekking to it, so I think if Bleda and Ashmon started following to meet up with us then that might be better.
