I think you guys are overestimating the cost of ammunition for a high-tech industrial society and underestimating the increased effort of manual slaughter, even for a mechanized force. Especially against populations with substantial amounts of esp'ers. It's not so much the cost of ammunition, and m...

My face when I see this page. Based Bug Borgs. JJcp0dkF86I Re: The knife thing. I think Arioch's explanation makes sense. You've got a very mobile and very damage resistant combat unit being deployed for urban warfare. It can close distances in ways a regular soldier can't, and will be much harder t...

Damn. Episode 5 was a wild ride. I think it rather clarifies that this almost certainly wasn't a "normal" rebellion that got put down. Though the ending quite frankly raises A LOT of questions.

This latest one might be interesting for anyone pondering ways to visualize psychic powers VS more mundane military tactics in a sci-fi setting.

The problem is they are not good soldiers in here. They literally step in evry trap that was in front of them. And evry one of this traps must work. Both autocanon and multilaser. Space marines must win because they are great soldiers- they know where ambush will be even without scouting since they...

Oh god, no questions anymore, author is fapping at space marines so hard. That multilaser is literally twice stronger then space marine heavy bolter but deal 0 damage. How is it literally twice as strong as a Heavy Bolter? On table top if I recall the multilaser only has a +1 to the strength stat, ...

People wondering about heavy weapons might be interested in the latest episode that got uploaded. It seems that team that got engaged initially was a more lightly armed security detail, and they started cracking out the heavy ordinance as soon as they recognized what they were fighting. https://www....

Why are Space Marines shooting Imperial Guard? First ep outlines that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-MteECxZUY There was a failed planetary rebellion against the Imperium, and a number of leaders for it are attempting to flee on the ship. The Space Marines, acting in cooperation with the Imperi...

Yes, but there is no point send team with Stabbers (not even lasguns) against space marines. They cant even damage weak points, they wont stop them even for a second. Well there's some benefit. Keeping pressure up on the Marines by continuing throwing guys at them lets you at least know where they ...

This is of course assuming that the ship's armory wasn't destroyed during the breaching process. From the look of things, the breaching craft passed through several areas of the target ship. If not then it would be prudent for the tactical squad to have inserted near the armory, so as to neutralize...

I always wonder why they dont have guy with rocket launcher to shoot in drop pod when it opens. Keep in mind that we're talking about a multi-kilometer long warship with dozens (if not hundreds) of decks. And that shipboard security likely only had a short time frame of warning for where the boardi...

I think the better question is why exactly the security officer AND Fireblade are decked out in combat armor. Generally you don't wear combat armor like that unless you suspect the possibility of being shot at.

Umiak boarding? Or meeting up with the rendezvous ship?

Except the Umiak don't have farseeing. The Umiak aren't inhibited at all from far seeing sensors in a system being jammed.

A good point- Humans do not have the benefit of Loroi abilities; so they may actually be superior at "reading" someone compared to a Loroi who is denied mental contact with the target. After all, you can still get tone of voice, phrasing, and some body posture info from a video feed. This is ignori...

Tactical Genius? Be that as it may, Alex is still no Ursarkar E. Creed.
