Iago Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 And so it begins. It's funny, the history of the 9th crusade dates back to the third war of armageddon. I wrote the background as I was playing for years... I never thought I would come back and revisit the history from the very beginning. My brother and I are doing exactly that. He is building up his goffs and I will be revitalizing my black templars crusade. We have each made a 1000pt list to work on. This thread will serve as a cataloged and library for the progress of this endeavor. It has been many years since I walked these halowed halls and I intend to do so in style. Take note, this is a long term project, so saddle up for the ride if you dare. There will be restructuring of course if we get a new book before we are done, but I am trying to keep the army as generic as possible to decrease the possibility of time and effort wasted. Now, the army has been inspired by the recent release of the house heresy series, since our chapter fights in a very similar fashion to the legions of old. And without further due... Here is the army: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r94/MarshalAugustine/IMG-20121104-00108.jpg Castellan Augustine (remember this was before he became Marshal) Storm Shield, Lightning Claw - 105pts Command Squad Sarge + 4 Initiates - Fighting Company Standard, Apothercary - 120pts Emperors Champion - Suffer Not The Unclean To Live (after all I am going to be facing Orks mainly, against others I would run Abhor) - 125 Crusader Squad 10 Initiates, Multi Melta, Plasmagun Crusader Squad 10 Initiates, Flamer Black Templar Bike Squadron 4 Bikes 1 Attack Bike - 178pts Venerable Dreadnought (im assuming we use the precedent in the DA faq to use the book values for the Ven dread, making him a steal) XA, Assault Cannon, Storm Bolter - 130pts Total 1000pts As you can see, its a very foot list. I am cosidering adding in some allies for 1500pts in the form of some forces from the Blood Angels codex. An excuse to use a Storm Raven... and to get some AA in there as well. It fits well because Dante was the overall commander of the Armageddon campaign so I like how it ties in. I am really looking forward to this. Stay tuned, for updates!

DasPanzerIstUber Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 my black template crusade. A bit rusty eh? :) I was pretty sure our Venerable Dreadnoughts didn't receive the upgrade, unless I missed something?

Iago Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 @DasPanzer - Edited. As for the dreadnought thing, I was going off the Dark Angels FAQ were they state it. Since we are in the same boat, I would like to use that as precedent.

Since we are in the same boat, I would like to use that as precedent. Still no guarantee on that, some people are some very serious rules lawyers, and wouldn't allow any amount of wiggle room, even for something like this.

DasPanzerIstUber Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Well this looks like it is going to be fun, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Any reason there are no neophytes?

Marshal Wilhelm Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well this looks like it is going to be fun, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Any reason there are no neophytes?

Iago Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah, neophytes... The lists have changed a bit. I am dropping one bike and then changing up a few things with the points. Ill get to it in my next post. And the orks have changed their list up a bit in light of a few new purchases... Yes stay tuned, as this is bound to get interested. I can't wait to paint my templars, play with them and make my opponents tremble in fear once more! (its funny to think that my main army is now a fringe army, where as my DE are more mainstream... hehe, time to root for the underdogs once more!)

Iago Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ok, so I think I will be dropping a bike (because I do not have one of the handle bars, and cant be bothered to scratch build one) and this gives me a few points to work with. Frags for the command squad (and castellan) Krack Grenades for the Castellan and terminator honours for him. Why not.

Marshal_Roujakis Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ok, so I think I will be dropping a bike (because I do not have one of the handle bars, and cant be bothered to scratch build one) and this gives me a few points to work with. Frags for the command squad (and castellan) Krack Grenades for the Castellan and terminator honours for him. Why not. Drop the Krak Grenades and give him either Bionic for the 6+ FNP or a Meltabomb for the true anti-tank.Monstrous Creature Weaponry. With the new Meltabomb rule, you could use this against Walkers/Monstrous Creatures/Vehicles.

DasPanzerIstUber Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Maybe some special weapons on the bikes or a power weapon in the Crusader squad? The grunts need love too! EDIT: He should have FNP via the Apothecary anyway. So 5 points saved. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264985-from-the-wastes-of-armageddon/#findComment-3235309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iago Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I did some building last night. -1 Biker and -1 Initiate. + 2 Neophytes cc/bp this leaves me with 28pts. Terminator Honours, frag grenade for the marshal, frags for the command squad. 7 Pts. A searchlight for the dreadnought and a flamer for the command squad? Or 2 flamers in the bike squad.

Iago Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Next update. Almost done cleaning and building three initiates. Want to prime the command squad burn waiting until the tournament this weekend is done and I get back from Puerto rico.

Iago Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 The Building continues of the Crusaders. I was in puerto rico for a week so that was stalled for a bit. I did find this tho, the original fluff that I wrote years and years ago for the crusade... I love that this project will allow me to fill in between the lines. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r94/MarshalAugustine/IMG-20121122-00157.jpg Cheers!

Iago Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 So. Being that I will be fighting mostly against orks I have opted to use the Suffer Not The Unclean vow... There are 2 neophytes in my list, I feel they will get killed off rather quickly.
