First post here since lurking so treat me kindly my dudes.

Did the rest of that campaign go as badly?
Our GM thought we would be happy to have a ship with Kroot mercs for crew. He underestimated our dedication to roleplaying xenophobes, so in the end we took control of the bridge through a mix of force and trickery (and with a little Navy help), then vented all the oxygen in the decks where no human was present. Then, we sold their bodies and eggs to the local AdMech's Biologis department.
We made a lot of friends that day.
Last I checked, even rolling a nat 100 on a WS test doesn't make you hit yourself, only specific weapons do that.

Five years on We are now facing the single largest ork WAAAAGH in the Jerhico reach trying to take out sub commanders of an Ork Waaagh that is absolutely resolute in its faith to the Emperor and worships the killteam as living saints.
And that's the tale of Boss Gretchnick

>the plan they came up with was to place the psyker within a metal, protective box, dangle the box from a shuttle-craft, swing him vaguely near the creature, and have him holocaust, to create a psychic burning pendulum of death
Oh boy i love this thread.
Wouldn't holocaust have also damaged/destroyed the box he is in along with the rope/cable connecting the box to the shuttle?
