About damned time you lazy fools!!!!

Who are they again?

Belgarion (from David Eddings Belgaraid and Mallorian series)

Kyler Stern (from Brent Weeks Night Angel trilogy)

Never heard of either the characters or series.

I've heard of Belgarion, but I don't know much about him or the series.

Need a little help here, guys...
As my seocndary char/sidekick, I could either go with something common-sense but boring, like an attendant techmarine or something.

OR, I could go with something off-the-wall, destined to create tension, infighting, and drama... but something for which I have a plausible backstory for him and my other char to be in the same place at the same time.

Thoughts?

I'd go with the second option.

Maybe an Eldar?

Did you write that before or after I posted it?

Yep, an Eldar ranger from Iyanden - so he has a shared reason with Ashok to hate the Tyranids. I was gonna go with an Aspect Warrior, but I thought it made more sense that Iyanden was so low on numbers that they wouldn't send their Dire Avengers out on a 'Nid hunt. Besides, I think a recon/sniper unit complements the characters we have better.

I don't know... it just seemed right for you.

I think you're right. The only other possible sniper is my Predator character. Seems we are short on stealth.

Roland and Jack fall into the "stealth" category.

So does the Predator someone said they'd have.

I have the Predator. I just haven't brought him in yet.

Any of the Astartes should be able to do stealth, hell if the Space Wolves can, anyone can. Might be a little difficult for a 70 ton war machine though.

Edit: In Space Wolf, we learn that a bolt pistol has a range of 300 strides. A normal stride for a bog standard human is 3-4 feet, a SM is something like 9 feet tall. That pretty much makes any SM a sniper.

Cain's pretty damn good at going unnoticed when he needs to.
Jurgen's a tad obvious though. The whole "making them freak out wildly" thing might tip the bad guys off if they've got a few psychics with them.
Then again, who needs stealth when you've got a meltagun?

The fact that Ferik smells like an ork in a heatwave might negate some stealth, also.
