Well, first comes my Dark Eldar character, a work in progress. Please feel free to provide comments and suggestions.
WS BS S T I Wp Sg Nv Ld Spd
86 81 54 55 105 79 78 82 92 6
Special abilites: Lightning Reflexes, Nightsight, Catfall, Leader, Feint, First Strike, Heroic
Equipment: Splinter Pistol with reload and choke toxin, Agoniser Sword (reach 3, otherwise same as rulebook), Medi-pack, Knife with choke, Implant Dispenser (gland that can be turned off/on) with De-tox, Spur, and Psychon, 40 Soul Seeker rounds (range H) coated with choke, Mesh armor on all locations except head, Conversion Field
The story comes from a playtest of this character, a brief skirmish versus a Rogue Trader.
The playing area was small, and sparsely covered with debris and some pylons sticking up from the ground, plus a large rock outcropping. I went first with my higher speed, and simply walked and paused for breath. On seeing my opponent's character move into view and fire his pulse carbine, I ran, ending out of line of sight. The next turn, I simply ran once and paused for breath, hoping to get in a few shots once he moved into view, and poison him before charging. Unfortunately, I badly miscalculated, and my opponent calmly walked into view, fired his pulse carbine and proceeded to draw his power cane sword just in case. Of course, I had been indulging in a bit of friendly trash talk ("Oh you'll never hit, the dice are on my side..."). Naturally, he scored an easy hit at 3" range and rolled a leg hit, bumped up to a groin hit by Deadeye Shot. At this point, I realised I had forgotten the force field I had planned to add. The hit dealt 13 damage after armor, knocking my character to the ground stunned for 2 turns and forcing her to take a System Shock test, which I failed miserably. The end result: my first ever character OOA result (and I've been playing a while), and great hilarity to all involved.
Strangely, that was one of my most fun games, despite taking my first OOA.
