Well, I helped playtest it, and had absolutely no problem with the Chaos Marines being too powerful in combat, or whatever.

The other characters did just fine, given the weapon stats are fairly balanced, and Doombolt is fairly strong - the humans do just as well as the CSM, and get to also have social skills, where as the CSMs just get to soak up fire.

I think it's a fair trade, personally, especially since how much combat happens is entirely down to the players, and, more importantly, the GM.

I would like to limit the character selection to no more than 1-2 CSM, but even so, the marines are going to be doing most everything during the adventure, as it's more physical/combat based. One CSM seems like it would work best, but then that means the rest of my four players are completely restricted in character selection. I sort of wish they had taken away one of the Chosen characters and replaced it with another human arch type for the demo.

Hm, I'll have to ponder this.

 

 

Kastala is downright scary. She is has probably the most powerful "weapon" at her disposal.

If you want, give the heretek a Hellgun instead of a lasgun. Instantly ups his threat level for the CSM. (He has the gun that ignores their armour) without making him too crazy against unarmourd guys. If you dont do as i say, ill put an energy spike through your head as if your armour isnt even there. So much for the CSM taking too much of a lead ^^.

Nina Black carries a bolt pistol. Yeah, if that isnt enough to get you enough oomph.....just give her a plasma pistol instead. Ex RT and all that.

Just ran the module last night.

Kastala's doombolt is good damage, great pen, superior accuracy.

But I think that Babaroth's melee is probably a better weapon. Two swings so it's harder to dodge. Much better damage, tearing.

It is of course harder to use, less accurate, but heck, it can one shot the Inquisitor.

And... its attached to Babaroth!

Yupp thats a good reason. Anything attached to a CSM is better by virtue of being attached to a CSM .

 

Considering Kastala can attack at 80 metres, i still prefer a doom bolt .

Within the confines of a ship one might not always be able to use the full range ^^.

My girlfriend played the psyker, and everything she looked at just melted. Ciro made her his secondary weapon and just let her fire over his shoulder and he shielded her.



...I just try to imagine how huge your Psyker-Pc must have been as she was able to look over the shoulder of a CSM in Servoarmour
