OOC: Generally having players emote every kill can get tedious for both parties, instead keep such things down to moments of free post grunt slaughter and saying they can emote a kill for a major enemy like if they got the last hit on a boss. It's much more satisfying the rest of the time for a player to read -another- persons writing that they accomplished a kill if its on a lesser foe, least in my experience and opinion. Coming out from his whirlwind....whirl, Germaius finds one Eldar headless and a whole lot more who need to be gathering up behind some barricades. Switching out for hand flamer and storm bolter once more he quickly reloads the latter and gives the former a good test puff. "I can do either, these xenos die easily and I'll gladly die in this city if it means I can keep taking the scythe to the chaff."
OOC: Share that motion! (it insta-killed the RP, quite fun, lolz) "Very well. We will act and swiftly. The first will arrive soon, and we shall not be found wanting or afraid of a handful of Xenos!" Drak'ir announced with a loud roar to inspire those around him. "Bring the fire upon them, breath like the drakes of nocturne, burn the foe, incinerate them into ashes until they are all but dust! WE ARE THE SALAMANDERS! WE ARE THE DRAGONS OF THE VOID! WE ARE THE BURNING ANGELS OF DEATH!" The literally burning Librarian started to sprint toward the enemy line, his accompanying tactical Salamanders remaining at the rear, firing storms of bolter into the Eldar, expecting the fellow Astartes would launch once more into the rays of the enemy. OOC: As said before. 1st post you need to run toward the enemy. You still can shoot with a ranged weapon while you move. If you have a jump pack (Assaults) you may use that to instantly get to the enemy, but you will most likely be a priority when being shot at. 2nd post will get you to the enemy.

Viserys ran towards the center of the second barricade, aiming his storm bolter at the dark eldar gathered there, and opened fire. [OOC: Storm Bolter: 6 shots on 3 targets means 2 potential hits each]
"FORWARD UNTO THE FOE'S DEATH MY BROTHERS!" Germaius roared along with his weapons as storm bolter was trained on individual targets, making sure they fell before moving on to the next body, hand flamer ready to purge once its fiery tongue was in reach. Despite his borderline berzerk tendencies he still maintained a fairly steady hand charging into combat, zeal no excuse for poor marksmanship. [Storm bolter firing on single targets until they die with rule of overflow hits, hand flamer purgin' an murderin' away. ]
Titus charged forward moving from cover to cover. All the while he had out his bolter pistol firing shots at the enemy.
OOC: Hand Flamer won't be in range until melee. Will add exact 1H/2H descriptions soon, but they won't apply to the test RP, they will be in effect for the final game. Also ranges will be split into 'Melee' and 'Ranged'; just for future reference.
Invictus took aim at the two dark lance operators and split his fire between them (Ooc sorry for late reply work is being hectic)
OOC: Botting De'Vaune & Zuriel because otherwise you are in big trouble Allies Attacks: Remaining at distance, the Salamanders sent their deadly shells of death in controlled storms towards the heavy weapons. Despite controlled fire, some shots still went into the barricades and it also was widely spread so the armor of the Eldar could easily absorb the blows they received. Well all but one who got lifted of his feet, but appeared to have survived the shot. While charging forward, the Epistolary did not unleash his Pistol. No. Drak'ir would bring the danger of Nocturne straight to the enemy! Like the enemies would be trees, and Drak'ir a spitting volcano, they would be lit up on fire and burn to the ground, he willed so, and so it shall be! A massive flame tornado erupted out of apparently nowhere and made a quick path through the center of the Eldar, whirling and burning and incinerating. Although it did not kill many initially... They were set ablaze, their screams of terror and pain echoing among their own rows. Only two instantly died, but that was just the start of the battle. Player Attacks: Remaining Ranged: De'vaune once more channeled his powers. The raw anger and thirst for vengeance channeling within the Psyker, seeing his brothers falling like this, he would not let more go! Out of the Empyrean, the Astartes formed a new Salamander. But unlike his brethren this one wore only fire as form and shape. Materialized out of De'Vaunes own hatred. Instantly the manifest will of De'vaune engaged into melee, while running shooting what appeared to be in the shape of a bolter, yet it shot with fireballs into the center of the Dark Eldar forces. A barrage of said fireballs hit multiple times on an already ablaze enemy, turning him into ashes. Zuriel rose his Assault Cannon once more, however unlike Invictus, he concentrated all of his fire on the right Dark Lance operator. The barrels unloaded the devastating payload in an apparent neverending stream. First one hit, another, another. The Dark Lance was covered in holes and before the operator could get away, discarding his ruined weapon, one of the rounds hit him in the chest, throwing him back, another tipped him over the railing of the bridge, sending him faaaaar into the depths of Comorragh. The Heavy Bolter makes extreme damage to the left Dark Lance platform as Zuriel took apart the right one, but it and it's gunner appeared to be still operational as the tip started to glow black-purple. Now in Melee Range: Germaius appeared to move too fast, having trouble keeping the recoil down AND seeing in the blazing inferno of the Salamander, making only a strafe hit. Making only one hit, he chipped some armor off of a Kaballite, the blazing fire making it hard to aim, a similar fate that Germaius suffered from. But he was now upon the enemy and soon they shall all die. The Storm Bolter on this close range and despite wild aiming and movement, ripped apart a Kaballite, him having been prior to the fatal hit weakened by his two brothers. Enemy Attacks: The Dark Eldar needed more than a bit of fire and a few shots to give up this easily! Despite being ablaze, they were only lightly wounded and who knew, perhaps they got off the pain. They rose their rifles and fired into the group of Melee-Range Astartes, including Drak'ir and the construct of De'vaune. The three storming Astartes were scraped but not really harmed. In fact it appeared only the construct of De'vaune was harmed as the splinters punched in it's chest, burning in it's heat but making it flicker. However. The Splinter Cannons started to share their parts in the combat. The armor withstood further of Germaius and Viserys, but Titus' armor got pierced. His Larraman Cells failing to close the wound before it's poison spread. [-1WL & Poisoned] The psychic creature summoned by De'vaune dissipated as the shards filled it from head to toes, simply disappearing. Drak'ir's flaming shield reached it's limit and let go of his body, the heat going into the ground and leaving a scorch mark, a small stream of the cannons managing to punch into his torso but not even moving the Epistolary a tenth of an inch. It was time for retaliation. The Dark Lance Gunner did not want to risk anything and aimed his weapon upon the Heavy Bolter wielding Astartes. The mighty weapon punched straight through the torso-piece and pierced the secondary heart of Invictus Luna. It was a fine and precise hole, but did not manage to come out on the other side. The torso, extreme-dense rib-cage and overall his body managing to absorb the hit before it caused any critical damage.

I.e. you have 3 crit hits and 1 crit fail. From now on you will lose 1 crit hit, leaving you with 2. This means Jamming and stuff will only happen if you have NO crit hit but at least 1 crit fail. This will also protect Librarians from Perils of the Warp (which I will take with 1d100 from my PnP Lite attempt) OOC: Weapon Stat changes (from next turn on) Bolt weapons ignore 1 armor now. Melta weapons ignore 1 more armor now.
Switching his aim as the dark lance's beam struck Invictus, Viserys unloaded everything in his storm bolter at the remaining dark lance's operator, wanting to remove the largest threat the Astartes faced. [OOC: Storm Bolter: 6 shots on 1 targets means 6 potential hits]
OOC: I see that many ppl anticipate the start of the new RP and a good bunch of these testers are gone. So I kind of ask you guys. Wanna keep this going and finish? Or would you rather continue on in the Deathwatch Station RP? I would write some posts to bring you guys at least narrative-wise closure @lord-watchman @DeranVendar @Avenging-Angel @matt23 @Valonox
