Acebaur Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 So several of you have mentioned having another character duel do determine a new forum champion and even though the forum at large isn't presently doing one, I see no reason why we can't have our own annual one anyway. So without further ado, here are the rules. CHARACTERS Characters must conform to the following rules: HQ or Elites character(see list below) 145 points or less 0-1 attack at Str 8 -or- Instant Death ability* (this means no PF and Melta, one or the other) Not accompanied by any models with stat lines Bikes, jump packs, or the equivalent may be taken No vehicles No Special Character(EC is ok) Characters must be created using only C:Black Templars *There will be no Instant Death in this competition, as covered under Stunning below.Some deviation from the above might be allowed on a case-by-case basis, except for the 145 point limit (contact me or Das).I may do some story based battle reports but we'll see how many people want to do it. Eligible Characters - Emperor's Champion* - Marshal - Castellan - Master of Sanctity - Reclusiarch - Techmarine *To provide some variety, the Emperor's Champion may change his usual Black sword(+2S, one handed, AP3) for any of the standard PW options(Axe, Lance, etc.) Note that doing this changes the entire profile and you lose the +2S that it normally is. Also he may exchange his BP with a PP for +15 points BATTLES Battleswill be arranged by a random draw. All of the battles for a round will be announcedsimultaneously. Once the battles for the round are announced, memberswill have about 24 hours to submit special instructions specific to thatbattle (special instructions are covered later). Battle-specificspecial instructions will be submitted by PM to the member that isconducting the battle (which will be listed with the battleannouncement),Battles will be conducted using the following rules: Combatants start 18+3D6" apart Combatantswill make an Initiative check each turn by rolling 1D6 and adding theirInitiative score. The combatant with the higher Initiative check winsthe initiative and goes first that turn. If the combatants tie in theInitiative check, the combatant with the higher Initiative wins theinitiative. If the combatants have the same Initiative score, theInitiative check will be re-rolled until there is a winner. Models may move up to their full movement distance forward, or up to 2” backwards. Stunningreplaces the Instant Death rule. Any attack that would normally causeInstant Death (e.g., force weapon, Str of the attack double or more thedefending model’s Toughness, etc.) causes Stunning instead. A Stunnedmodel may not perform any more actions (moving, shooting, charging,assaulting) for the rest of the game turn. If the model is engaged inassault, it may not attack and will defend at -2 WS. The next game turn,the model makes a Toughness check. If the model passes the Toughnesscheck, it may roll an Initiative check and act as normal. If the modelfails the Toughness check, it automatically fails the Initiative check,but may otherwise act as normal. Models may Parry.A model may parry one or two times each turn, sacrificing that numberof attacks but forcing the opposing model to re-roll that number ofto-hit rolls. Declarations to parry are made at the start of the Assaultphase (by special instruction). If the other model fails to landsuccessful to-hit rolls, the attacks are still sacrificed to the parryintent as the model has readied itself for defense. Models mayfall back voluntarily (based on special instructions) or may be forcedto fall back by losing an assault. Losing an assault is similar to thenormal rules, but is based on the number of Wounds inflicted. Wounds forwhich the save (whether normal or invulnerable) was passed count asdouble. A model that falls back immediately moves back 2” from assault.The other model may not consolidate, but if it passes an Initiative test(roll less than or equal to its Initiative score on a D6) it may make asingle normal attack with no special modifiers (i.e., using its own Strand no special rules). If both models fall back for some reason,neither may make the free attack. Each battle goes until a modelis reduced to 0 Wounds, at which point the other model is declared thewinner. If both models are reduced to 0 Wounds simultaneously, bothmodels die and the battle is a draw (the “ai uchi” rule). The only exception to the ai uchirule is that it can’t result in a champion by default (i.e., if we havethree models left and one has the bye, the other two won’t be able tokill each other off by ai uchi) – the champion has to earn the title. TheCrusade of Honor is single elimination, so once your model “dies”(regardless of how it is portrayed in the battle report), it is out ofthe competition. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS Specialinstructions allow players to direct the way their characters fight.There are stock special instructions that apply to every fight in whichthe character takes place, and there are battle-specific specialinstructions that direct how the character will fight against specificopponents. In general, the stock special instructions will be usedunless over-ruled by the battle-specific special instructions. Bothtypes of special instructions should be submitted using the followingformat:Moving - [enter your instructions here]Shooting - [enter your instructions here]Charging/Assault - [enter your instructions here - this is where you’d give Parry instructions]Voluntary Fallback - [enter your instructions here]Thestock special instructions will be submitted with your character entrywhile battle-specific special instructions will be submitted before eachbattle. Members will only need to submit battle-specific specialinstructions in cases where their characters’ tactics will differagainst a specific opponent. ENTRIES Members may submit one character for the entire Crusade of Honor. Submissions will include: Character name Unit entry used all weapons, wargear, abilities, options, etc. Total cost Stock special instructions Image of painted mini (must be at a tabletop level – three colors or more). You don’t need to have images of Golden Daemon quality painting, nor do youhave to have an elaborate background PRIZES The champion of the forum will get a nifty image to display that they are the forum champion. This will be likely a banner or ribbon style image.And then there’s the right to talk a little smack.

Count me if only to have a chance to bring justice to heretics who thought they could tarnish our forum with witchery. So when does this kick off? When are the deliverables due? Whoops. Fixed. It was because I copied and pasted it from the old AOD and modded it for us. I haven't set a date yet for anything. Going to make sure we have enough people to do it.

Acebaur Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 The response to this is thrilling guys :( Really no one else is interested in this? I'm disappointed, where is your zeal?

reckoning Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have to be honest, my zeal for our army has been rather lackluster lately. Im sorry brothers, but I am very pessimistic about our codex situation and Im letting it affect my hobby. I would usually jump on this sort of thing but I just dont have the motivation for it.

Urkh Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 With the way my personality is, the fact that i even post on this forum at all is quite zealous. I frequently am reading forums for all kinds of things, but I never post. This is the only place where I post at all, and I think I post quite regularly. I've even only just started venturing outside of our little corner and into other part of the B&C.

Brother Christopher Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Count me in too. I'd love to participate :) I'm not decided on the character I'll submit though. I'd like to go with my techmarine, but the model isn't ready yet, so It all depends on when this will start (if it'll start in the first place).
