It shouldn't be too hard to beat something together out of scrap metal, GM permitting of course.

You will need a Trade (Armorer) check for that, but technically yes, as long as you know how (represented by your Trade (Armorer) check, you should be able to build anything orky out of what you have on hand.

Edit: Don't feel compelled to limit free acquisition to personal scale items. If you don't need/want anything atm, remember your armsmen are poorly equipped even by IG standards. Some heavy weapons/vehicles would go a long way toward improving their combat prowess against orks.

I, unfortunately, can't get that skill until I have acquired 13k XP. Alas. About how many armsmen have we been provided with?

The thing is, you can't do Ork weapon modifications, even if you had the skill.


I'll look for something to give to the men, you guys can save your acquisitions for the personal

Alright, i've decided on am Acquisition: 1000 Echelon Pattern Mark 3 Assault Stubbers, to be issued one per squad of 10.

This weapon puts out a withering storm of well...Storm fire, and has enough armour penetration to completely ignore common squighide. It's easy to use, and takes a relatively common form of ammo. It's a little heavy, true, but I think being able to put out 1d10+4 I, Pen 3 at RoF 6 Storm outweighs the drawbacks. It's in Into the Storm for those who want a look.

Kallias doesn't need anything, but I agree we should better equip the troops.

We could definitely use some man portable weapons for destroying vehicles. A lasgun will already almost never hurt an ork, i'd hate to see how ineffective it would be against a Wartrukk, Killa Can, or Mork forbid, a Meganob.

or some rocket launchers, a cheaper alternative, with krack missiles, i'dd help with outfitting the troops but i lack a decent weapon or an armor. Hell gun is nice, but not that good vs groups of monsters or heavy armored ones.

Sadly, missile launchers aren't that cheap. At most you could get 100 of them within the parameters of the acquisition.

So, for now we have:
Xerael: Clovis Mk IV Plasma Gun
Wrex: 1000 Echelon Pattern Mark 3 Assault Stubbers
Raineh Daze, Harald and Scout 89 still to decide

The deacon is also waiting for an answer whether you have room for some extra troops aboard your ship (which you currently do, as your barracsk doesn't house any of the heavy gear usually associated with a regiment of armsmen; ofc, you're free to say otherwise if you want).

I'm fine with letting someone else choose rather than picking something myself. More efficient that way. :lmao

If it's ok with everyone i'dd like to requisition the power armor, if Raineh doesn't want to use her acquisition, if not we can use the acquisition to further equip the troops, if i can take the power armor i'll give my old carapace armor and power axe to a squad commissar or sergeant. If not i can i suggest equipping the squads with motion predictor, as it gives them +10 to BS when auto firing or an semi auto, or equip everyone with auto guns since they are a bit better than lass guns.

yep, did the calculations :p, and cleared it with LordBlades :p extremely rare gives -30 acquisition modifier, and because i want just 1 piece of armor it gives me a +30 bonus to acquisition modifier, the common quality also has a +0 acquisition modifier, everything totaling at a glorious +0 modifier :D

You mean I went with worse power armour for myself than I could have? ;-;

Because I think this is the same sort of restriction as the character creation thing? XD

yes, i'm afraid you did :) .. i'dd recommend you swap it for the artificer power armor from faith and coin, page 94, it gives +10 armor, the sturdy trait :), and an awesome generator pack, 24 hours before recharging, o.O, everything a growing captain needs. I don't think Lordblades will mind because you didn't know of the better alternatives :p.

No, I'm not undecided. Kallias doesn't need anything right now.

All right then, others can use your acquisition as they see fit.

@Raineh: you can swap Light Power Armor for regular Power Armor (it was your starting acquisition, right?). As for Artificer armor, I'm going to house-rule bumping it's availability by 1 step(so Near-unique and Unique for Consecrated) because it's silly to be just as easy to get as Power Armor (who would get power armor then if they can just as easily get artificer?)
