A with a bit of E thrown in. Send the servitors to do their job, be unfeeling meatshields. I almost want to experiment with hurling the artifact at the daemon.

D.E The meatshields can deal with the daemon, but we have to deal with the Lord-Sire after this. Update him on the situation during the battle so that we can start schmoozing and advance our rank by being the woman-on-the-scene.

E. Send in your mastiff, keep "Flour" and the Servitor with you. With a clear head, record what is happening and try to broadcast it to the Lord Sire.

A E. Find that Xeno! Inform the Lord Sire that there is a Xeno! Send our servitors against the Daemon, inform the responders that servitors may have the advantage here, at least up close. How many points is an arco-flagellant of our very own? VanSandman fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Dec 17, 2014 |

VanSandman posted:How many points is an arco-flagellant of our very own? Well, arco-flagellants are a Church speciality, so you'd need to make friends with them. Upgrading your current servitors to Mars based killbots would be pretty reasonable after killing a daemon though.

As a note, we aren't an Inquisitor, we just work for one. That said, alert the Lord-Sire that the daemon was summoned by a xenos, and that we are in pursuit of the xenos, but the daemon is an active threat.

Oh for fucks sake, don't start looting poo poo before the fighting is over you clods, that's raid etiquette 101! Also I don't think we have the training to use most of what the Sisters are/were packing. We'd probably just end up shooting/sawing off one of our own appendages by accident.

The best we're probably gonna get is the trusted Magos at the right hand of the one of the previous individuals, or leading a Magos Explorator Fleet/being the Fabricator General of a Forge World for the AdMech.

It's 40k. Contradict the lore freely if it tells a good story. Besides the difference between an Explorator fleet and a Rogue Trader is one of motivation, not action.

There's nothing in the lore stopping us from doing any of those things though as you can be a techpriest and still serve as a commander in the Guard, Navy or Inquisition. It's not uncommon for people to have several titles in different organisations just to do the one job. We have a claim through our family ties to the Warrant and we're an acolyte to an Inquisitor which is pretty much one of the only ways to actually become an inquisitor so we can pretty much do whatever we want.

It's not uncommon for people to have several titles in different organisations just to do the one job. Don't you need to serve as an Interrogator for an Inquisitor for a while before you're judged worthy by a conclave of senior Inquisitors to hold the Inquisitorial Rosette? At least, that's how I remember it worked in Eisenhorn and Ravenor, and remember a passing mention of that in Dark Heresy: Ascension. Also, I'm not sure I ever remember an example in the fluff of a Techpriest serving in a position of command outside the AdMech. They're pretty much outside of other Chains of Command, what with having their own. Of course, in a universe as large as 40k, I'm sure an example can be found somewhere. As others have said, one can always bend the fluff a little bit in order to tell a good story, though. The grognards won't be happy, but when are they ever?

MaliciousOnion posted:Ravenor was in his twenties when he became an Inquisitor. Also, who cares it's just a game. Do whatever is cool. Really? I thought that he served as the Interrogator for Eisenhorn for a while before the Thracian Atrocity which was what burned him and led to him being put in the life-support hover chair and him getting his Rosette soon after. I remember that being mentioned in either Xenos or Malleus, either the first or second Eisenhorn book. The book also said he was young for an Interrogator, and that Eisenhorn felt that he would likely be getting the Rosette soon as he was a prodigy, but I don't remember him being that young... Also, this is becoming a huge derail and I'm sorry for being the one who started it. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Dec 19, 2014 |

For all you doubters, remember that the Imperium is perfectly willing to bend the rules if your status is high enough. I'm sure the lord-fabricator of this sector could be persuaded to discharge one tech-priest to get on better standing with the inquisition.

What about the Great Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919, Sogol? Ya mean recreate it? I'm down with that, but where are we gonna find a crappily-built, non-tested tank holding several million gallons of sweet, sticky, viscous crap, and the rampaging temperature swings to make it succumb to hoop stress failure? Otherwise, I'll jump on the Plan mydad

At least, that's how I remember it worked in Eisenhorn and Ravenor, and remember a passing mention of that in Dark Heresy: Ascension. From memory, I think all you need is the recommendation of a conclave (so a minimum of three inquisitors) or the approval of an Inquisitor Lord and you're set. In theory, you're suppose to be from the Schola Progenium and work your way up the food change but the key component to being an inquisitor seems to be whether other people, especially fellow inquisitors, recognise your authority.
