Machine God

@Lysimachus - GM, as for Boyz 2. I believe that I posted this on Monday: Cast the dice where they fall.

Not telegraphing anything. Rules Question. Killing Strike works with All Out Attack, but there is a wording issue to me. All Out Attack says Attack whilst Killing Strike says Attacks which is plural. So could somebody with 3 Attacks (Swift Attack with Two-Weapon Wielder Melee and Unarmed Master) attack with all 3 Attacks?

Asterius: Even in his near-berserk state, Asterius parried with an elegant flick of his chainblade. But the beast would not be denied. With a snort of frustrated fury, the vast Grubgob raised his claw over his head and brought it down with all his monstrous strength. The claw descended with unstoppable force, smashing down his right hand side even as he tried to dodge to his left, it ripped effortlessly through his plain black pauldron, smashing the chainsword from your hand, and finally caught against his right tasset with a ringing clang! Like a mighty bell might toll on Terra. Asterius is bathed in a radiant light which causes Grubgob to recoil. "They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. Like clay shall I mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear." The radiant light fades away to reveal that Asterius still stands.

Or he could "Run for the Jungle" But where is that Sniper... "The Killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on!"

Asterius doesn't have enough XP for that option.

He did say that he was busy. I'm waiting on a PM for an idea

@Lysimachus - Well if the Klaw isn't energised then the Critical shouldn't be Energy. More Impact - Leg or Rending - Leg I'm still thinking up something on something. It does say that Fate can be spent at Any time.

No doubt @Lysimachus is perusing the Power Field entry in the crb. But I have the FFG wording to my advantage. Asterius is doing the parrying and not the other way around. If the Power Klaw parries a weapon then Power Field comes into play. I know that it is not how it should be intended to be, but it is RAW.

Asterius: Asterius thanked his [Redacted]. Pain lanced through him as he thanked his learning. With practised ease he brought his chainsword to bear and parried Grubgob's Power Klaw, although it took most of his strength to do so.

NARRATOR: "And lo did it came to pass that despite the best efforts of the Deathwatch, that Alucar IV became infested with the Greenskin Menace. All because of a lowly Grot Rigger!" [x] Rigger c: After seeing its master cut down by an unknown assailant and finding itself suddenly alone, the little xenos decides discretion is the better part of valour and flees! It will play no further part in this battle.

@Lysimachus - Thank you for the offer. I will edit my post to remove the Regroup (Although if Gerhardt stays with the same action then some other character will have to Challenge Cohesion to initiate a new Squad Mode). Just as long as nothing else changes: Boyz attack and miss Asterius, Grubgob doesn't dodge Asterius' hit.

Asterius is a Blackshield, from a chapter of Berserker Nutcases inspired by the oratory of a Black Templar. Cast the dice where they fall. Heroes are forged in Battle. Let the Boyz try to bring him down. Asterius has a date with destiny!
