Aside from the obvious change in leadership, there have been some updates since the last battle.

 

In our campaign, for the first two weeks we had a special rule in place:

 

Quote

Patrol Escalation
Each time a player completes a Combat Patrol battle, they may immediately use the INCREASE SUPPLY LIMIT [1RP] Requisition once to increase their Supply Limit by 10 Power (instead of the usual 5). 

 

This was essentially a 2-for-the-price-of-1 deal on increasing supplies after fighting a Combat Patrol game. I found that in previous Crusades, our group would just play 50PL/1000pt games but not bother spending resources to expand their supplies, to the point where Crusade became almost synonymous with small games, so this rule was to counteract that.

 

So, having fought two Combat Patrol battles, I had an extra 20PL of Supplies to play with. On top of that, I also reached the maximum level of Warfleet Glory, so opted to use the same Requisition one more time. I now have a total of 75PL worth of supplies to play with.

 

Starting this week, we'll be escalating our games to 50PL. With that in mind, we now have a few new additions to the Aksha'i Cruentes.

 

Blood Priest Baruda, Dark Apostle

An early convert to the Cult of the Blood God, Baruda was instrumental in the formation of the Cruentes. He wears the charcoal black armour of Loyalist chaplains in dark mockery of his misguided counterparts.

 

Baruda is an extremely - and some might say excessively - zealous individual, to the point that those around him view him with slight unease. However, there is no denying that his entreaties to the Dark Powers are an effective tool.

 

He has the Dark ZealotryWrathful Entreaty and Soultearer Portent prayers (I wanted to avoid the meta choices!). As yet, he does not have any Relics or Warlord Traits.

 

Thrax Gorechosen, Exalted Champion

Thrax is a wandering traveller, claiming to be an original member of the War Hounds Legion and claiming to be the bearer of the coveted relic, Gorefather. Regardless of the truth to his words, the Berzerkers who follow Thrax into battle are invariably inspired to great deeds of bloodshed as Thrax himself frequently seeks out the strongest enemies he can find.

 

Thrax is armed with the Gorefather relic and has the Flames of Spite Warlord Trait.

 

A New Leader Arises
Following the damnation of their former warlord, a brief conflict arose amongst the various champions of the Cruentes. Ultimately, such questions of leadership are always answered by personal strength in the fighting pits. Emerging victorious was Kratus, former bodyguard of Bardûl.

 

Owing to his new position, a new model is in order. Here's a little sneak peek of his new look:

Don't worry, once he's on a raised base, he'll be a touch talled than his old model!

 

Other Updates

  • Old mate Xarian the Helbrute has become a Hate-fuelled Butcher, improving his Weapon Skill by 1.
  • A Cultist Mob has been added. 
  • Two Rhinos have been added. (One was actually already in the list, but I never mentioned it.)
