Let's LARP the Emperor's Finest - a wh40k IF

[Renegen]

Going with 2 since root said the choice would be very meaningful.

 

[ironyuri]

Why the fuck is everyone voting 1? We took the left path to reach the LG, we've pushed our luck in combat. We've used 4/10 or more of our LAS pistol shots, we're severely injured, we have hulghasts ripping some mutants limb from limb (mutants who will run the fuck away when they start dropping like flies) and we have very little opportunity to survive against the numerous creatures still left in our path. We purged the witch, now let the mutants fight among themselves while we fuck off and carry on with our mission to find the LG.

We're still on board the fucking ship, Schafer is not Klovis the fucking redeemer. Have some fucking sense. We've done some grand heroic shit, but we're not suddenly Yarrick the fucking Commissar, all we are is a strong minded private in the Imperial Guard. Do you want to live in the fucking black hold among the mutants forever, while the ship is taken over by possible heresy and we get bumfucked?

When did Shepard become Schafer?

The real question is,











Would you rage again?

What do we do when the mutants have possibly beaten the hullghasts? Shoot them all in the back of the head?

Are we going to go on a crusade to reclaim the entire black hold before showing up to get blammed by Herr General for a) consorting with mutant scum, b) dereliction of duty.

It's not Limdick McFaggotry to get the fuck out. We took on a witch instead of running away, we purged the heretic, now let's be Pragmatdick McSmartcunt and gtfo when we have the chance.

Ps. Would rage again.

 

[Ulminati]

Looking forward to seeing IronYuri raging again

You might need bros meatshields later on. This may not be the last fight before reaching the LG's quarters.

 

[Ulminati]

Private Shepard would run away and let muties and hullghasts fight each other. Officer Shepard will work with what manpower he's got to ensure his mission is likely to succeed. Even if they may be mutants we'll sacrifice for the EMPRAHs glory later, right now it's manpower and equipment to survive the dangers of the black hold. Remember rootbro said our performance in the hold would determine what rank (if any) we would have held before and could get reinstated to if we somehow survive meeting the LG.

Yes, and the available options are probably "servitor" and "private"

 

[Ulminati]

Either's better than our last guardsman M:

 

[Saark]

You forget that mutants, while they may be scum, are no direct enemy of the Imperium. They're tolerated in the lower parts of the hives where they even have their own nests, and when they become annoying, its the PDF handling them, not the IG. Several races already used Mutants as meatshields and/or slaves, not the least of them being the necron, so they do actually hold some warfare-value. If we manage not only to acquire such a force, but also are able to sustain them throughout a fight with Hellghasts and until we meet up with the LG, he certainly won't shoot us for it. On the contrary, I believe he will acknowledge what we did and then put them down like the rabid dogs they are.

 

[Baltika9]

Either's better than our last guardsman M:

Indeed.

Actually, I hope we end up as the commander of a penal legion. That would be awesome.

 

[Baltika9]

Bros, guess what I found: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Schaeffer

Colonel Schaeffer. Commander of a Penal Legion. Although they fought on Armageddon, I'm not sure if they are a part of the Steel Legionl, but it's possible.
I'm sure this was intentional, root.

WE MUST FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE!

 

[Kayerts]

We purged the witch, now let the mutants fight among themselves while we fuck off and carry on with our mission to find the LG.

You raise good points; I just doubt how feasible it'd be to run. Our new recruits are not the most reliable bros in the world; they were rooting for our deaths a few minutes ago. If we desert them in the face of danger, they might decide they had the right of it before, yell "Death to the False Redeemer," and then we'll have both hullghasts and mutants on our ass.

Furthermore, how much time do you expect they're going to buy us? Root didn't give exact numbers, but I don't see the fight lasting more than a few minutes. Depending on how focused the hullghasts are, they might come after us when it's done; if we make a wrong turn and have to double back, that's bad news. It also seems fair to count on a boss fight at the end of the black hold. I'd prefer not to face it with a t-shirt and 6 shots of a flashlight, while hullghasts close on us from behind.

 

[Saark]

A few minutes is optimistic. If we abandon our new friends, the Hullghasts will rip through some of them in a matter of seconds, and the rest of our canonfodder will scatter out of fear.

This thread feels too much like playing Age of Decadence...

Except AoD's Imperial Guard life expectancy in combat is possibly lower...

 

[Kayerts]

Would trying to blindly run from a horde of mutant killers with broken ribs and spastic muscles (and possibly our loyal allies chasing after us) really have been smarter?

Yes.

 

[treave]

Agern was expecting Schafer. Agern has also probably considered the chance that Schafer may attack him. The only surprise here is the Witchesbane, but that only protects against psychic assault. Warp sorcery is another matter, no?

 

[Cassidy]

1) The Inquisitor will get rid of the Guard later in a far less favorable condition for him to overcome the odds. He has seen too much already so it's only a matter of time.

"Olololololo let's go up against a swarm of hullghasts and be a REEDERMUR LULZ!1 EMPRAH PURGE HUEHUEHUEHUE'

enjoy your fate point, retards.

And yes, I'm sure attacking an inquisitor with 2 fucking stormtroopers is a dandy idea, dumbfucks, I'm sure our WITCHUZBANNUBANNU will protect us from MASSIVE HELLGUN RAPE and PSY RATING 2978

[Esquilax]

Yeah, that was fucking stupid. We've burnt out the ace up our sleeve, now we've pretty much gotta bend over and hope Agern is kind enough to use lube. Goddamnit, we should have picked our fucking battles more wisely. To top it all off, even if we survive, the Inquisitor is probably going to shoot all of the mutants anyways, showing how utterly futile that endeavor was. I wanted to shoot his smug fucking head off, and now we're not in a position to do so.
