I should never be able to roll a 01 and suddenly manage to find 3 sets of fully working, undamaged Termi armour for my 3 Champions of Nurgle. It'd break the game, or I'd have to very suddenly turn up the power on enemies, meltas abound. It cheapens the reward in my opinion.

 

That's why these games have GM's. They determine what is available before you can even roll. This is actually one of the first things I told my group: "A successful roll does not equal a successful aim". What do I mean by that? I means that suceeding at a roll does not mean you suceeded in the task you were rolling for.

Example:

"You are in a store-room. It is full of old PDF surplus weapons."
"I search for a Lascannon." *rolls* "I got a 3! 4 degrees of success."
"Congratulations you search the room throughoutly, getting a good idea of the inventory. You do not, however, find a Lascannon, as there was no Lascannon to find."


In your example you've rolled for sets of Terminator armour. This would be fine if you were in a place where Terminator armour is likely to be/is being sold. If you're not, passing an Infamy Test shouldn't provide you what you rolled because you were never in a position to get it in the first place.

BYE

There are no female Space Marines. Don't believe me?

Gender & Appearance
Due to the special nature of the zygotes that make up a Space Marine's geneseed, all Space Marines are male.

So enough with the Female Marine threads…
