The problem with the players in this quest is that there is never enough good words to be said about them.

I went missing for a month and Luigi presents us with the most accurate and awesome 3d map of Sector Deus to date!

Well, I know that this cannot be repaid with simple ingame bonuses, but I will try:

+You can pick a canon character of your choice to accompany Inquisitorial taskforce into the depths of Farness Beta to confront Quixos. Character should be alive and mature at the time of our game and can't be above Chapter Master on the badassery scale.

+Chapter Master gains +1 Psychic Rating

I find it odd that for a group going after someone with the daemonic and psykers, no one thought to grab some SoBs for a good old purge of 2 out of 3 of the things they hate most.

That and acts of faith.

>>33131231
Eisenhorn's Distaff is loads of blanks.
Psykers not like.

Current situation - Thracian 51st and your task force is entering enemy stronghold, massive underground complex which survived your orbital bombardment only because of powerful Alpha+ class psykers who are being used by the enemy. You know that Quixos is hiding inside and you are going to smoke him out of his hole... How will you enter enemy base?
a) Send in guardsmen, we can't waste blood on enemy minions (Shadow Guard Renard)
b) Let's send in our special troops - Kasrkins and Inquisitorial stormtroopers (Inquisitor Eisenhorn)
c) We are the strong ones, we should take the brunt of damage - let's send in the Astartes (Brother Apothcary Neiton)

What shall you do?

>>33131302
I agree with Eisenhorn.

IIRC Eisenhorn never had close relationship with Sisters, while he was pretty well connected with military and other Inquisitors.
+++
>>33131349
>>33131335
Please be advised, that these are the best troops you have, in total there are about 350 of them. They will stand their ground against supernatural enemies and against human foes, however their numbers are very limited, compared to around 10 700 infantrymen of the Thrachan 51st(around 1300 perished or fell to radiation fatigue while crossing the nuclear bombardment site). If you agree to put these men at risk, roll 3d100 - losses; enemy losses; how deep do they manage to penetrate. less is better. Also you can(if you wish) deploy Distaff, special unit of blanks trained by Eisenhorn. There's 20 + d10 of them(please roll) avaialble at the moment. You are keeping them at the rear in order not to demoralise your troops.

>>33131462
Alright, can we send them AND the guardsmen in?

>>33131302
>a) Send in guardsmen, we can't waste blood on enemy minions (Shadow Guard Renard)

>>33131511
These nuts

>>33131462
Presumably we're deciding who acts as the tip of the spear, I say we send in guardsmen but intersperse storm trooper squads behind the first few ranks, that way enemy emplacements are identified and can be more accurately targeted by the elites.

>>33131480
>>33131462
In fact, why not have everything barrel in at once?

This will be [Underground] type of combat, it means that you will be able to deploy very limited numbers of troops at the same time, probably passages are wide enough to allow a squad of men to engage at the same time. Another problem with mixing them up is different command structures and combat styles, it would create more confusion than cooperation.
>>33131545
This is possible, it would slow your advance, but minimise losses (for stormtroopers).
>>33131553
check above

>>33131598
Ask Eisenhorn if the shield would protect against the Guardsmen carrying a nuclear weapon inside the bunker, and how much damage it would likely do.
Also, why are we in command? It should be Eisenhorn that's doing this.

>>33131598
I still think we should go with guardsmen and stormtroopers, despite the slower advance.

Rolled 37

>>33131629
You are the warriors he brought to help him destroy Quixos. He is an Inquisitor first, warrior second. And despite his deep experience in pursuing investigations, Eisenhorn has never commanded an army in a battle, that's why he leaves tactical planning to you.
+++
Eisenhorn nods:
>Good thinking, shielding can be penetrated by slowly moving objects, such as people, so it would be possible to bring in a tactical nuclear device. I will ask Commander Thorn immediatelly whether they have one available on the spot. (80% chance)

Your plan to coordinate guardsmen and storm troopers seems to have partly worked, your men entered the upper levels of the underground complex, taking out enemy machine gun nests, killing mutants and mad slave-soldiers that Quixos uses to stall your advance. After first suicide bomber took out a whole squad of guardsmen who were marching in the front, there was minor panic, but the Kasrkins who were walking behind restored order and mowed down approaching enemy force. Later your men became more careful, realising that they are playing on the enemy home ground, where they have the advantage. In total you have lost 300+2d10x10 gaurdsmen and d10x5 specialist troops. You control 2d10% of the enemy base. You estimate that you have killed around 300+d5x100 enemy minions. You may roll d100 for Strategy(+0) to estimate how many minions does enemy have.

30% = outer levels

Enemy is afraid of your rapid advance - your men report that Quixos has sent a champion to stop your advance, a strange mutant who is a master sniper. He took position in one of the open caverns and has already killed d10x10 guardsmen who tried to approach him. What shall you do?

enemy had about 6000 minions to begin with, but after these past 4 hours of fighting, only around half of them are left(6000 - 800 - 2200 = 3000).

10 soldiers were killed by Artegran the Sharpshooter. He is healthy and in excellent morale.
>>33132533
200 guardsmen were killed in this phase of combat, leaving you with (10700 - 440 -10 - 200 = 10050). Low casualties mean that your soldiers get a slight morale boost!

>>33132823
>>33132758
Well last session it was assumed that you will teleport into the base with the Inquisitors as soon as the guardsmen bring the transmitter beacons, however if you wish, you can return to the orbit. Inquisitors however do prefer to stay on the ground due to the possible use of supernatural by the enemy, which conventional force wouldn't be able to counter.
You have Omniscio and Tempestus, chaplains with you. All sanctioned IG psykers were ordered to stay in the ships due to possible dark influence by the enemy or discomfort caused by the Distaff if deployed.

Guardsmen deploy the smoke and charge forward, with Shadow Guard lying in wait, waiting for the sniper to show himself. Suddenly, Commissar who was supervising operation falls to his knees with a hole in his forehead. Next, Captain falls while trying to give order to put on additional smoke screens. Then, a Leutenant. Another. Third. A sergeant. One by one, all of the officers in the unit fall to Artegran's shots. Panic spreads among the advancing men.
Artegran kills 10+d10 guardsmen.
Test their willpower (d100 vs 20) or the assault will break and they will flee.
Shadow Guard may try to enter a sniper duel with him, but then they will open themselves for his counter-attack.
