Honda Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yes, the epiphany had the same effect on me. :) After I started fielding him, all my challenges turned into massacres for the opponent, as I no longer concerned myself about force weapons and such.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 "The Black Knights always Triumph!" Well, my Black Templar will take some killing now. 2+(3+), 5 x St 10, AP 2 attacks on the charge and Eternal Warrior. Mwa ha ha ha ha. Thank you Brother Honda, again.

greggles Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 How are you making the chapter master str 10? Did I miss an update or change? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290799-the-dolourus-crusade/page/4/#findComment-3753862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Bob Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think even with FC only gets up to S9, which isn't shabby at all. Probably is a bonus for the awesome hammer-poleaxe. I'd grant it in game. NOW I WANT TO SEE IT COMPLETE! CHOP CHOP! BASH BASH!

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 How are you making the chapter master str 10? Did I miss an update or change? My bad, Brother Greggles, it would be St 8, because of the Thunder Hammer, don't know where I got the idea it was ST 10. I will do 3 days in the pain glove as penance.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Brothers, a question. As the Shield Eternal was a gift from the mighty Rogal Dorn to his Seneschal, I was thinking the over riding color should be yellow. I will add the necessary red and black!! A good idea?

greggles Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Doh...i thought I missed something that made him str 5 and was so excited :). Scott, Could always do a yellow base, then wear it down significantly so it blends in with the black better. I'd imagine if it was handed down by Dorn, it would have seen plenty a battle in the 10k years or so. (I don't know the age of your crusade though!)

HLVW Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If it was just yellow it may seem a tad to much Imp Fist, After re-reading helsreach, the description of the EC's armour would fit for your shield. Have it black or of the colour scheme you want but then add in yellow for the chipping effect, thus displaying the orgional origen and history of the shield.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Oh, I like that, re roll misses in the first round, Zealot, and re roll a wound, Digi Weapons. I think he may have to have digital weapons, with a ST 8 weapon, it should negate any 1's thrown.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Having done the numbers for my Marshall, it seems he is a tad expensive for a 1500 point game @ 240 points. Chapter Master Marshall, Shield Eternal, Articifer Armour, Digital Weapons, Thunder Hammer. It is shamefull, but in smaller games I will be running him with a standard Storm Shield, standard Power Armour and no Digital weapons, it saves 75 points. Or is it still worth running him with all his Gear, is spending 16% of your total on one HQ model, its almost as much as a Landraider!!! What say you Brothers? Keep him tooled up or slim him down for smaller (1k - 1.5K) games?

greggles Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If he's that expensive, might as well put him on a bike for a bit more :). Remember you are not only paying for his awesome statline...but his orbital bombardment as well!

Remember you are not only paying for his awesome statline...but his orbital bombardment as well! Oh yeah, I forget about the orbiting Battle Barge. Cheers Brother, for reminding me about a very important tactical asset. I am all for assaulting and softening up a target first should be The Number 1 Rule of assaulting. Be it Bolt Pistols, a Vindicator or an Orbital Bombardment. Soften up that target!!!

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 ETL III Vow complete. I have many plans in place for next year. I am going to build and undercoat all my other BT stuff ready. Maybe not my marshall, I may finish him. Excuse the bad pics. Vow is reported as complete.

Honda Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 If I was going to guess, I'd say that Chaos nabbed it. From the sounds of it, their big vows are going to come in. If we're being honest, at this point I think we're fighting to see who came in second.

Marshal Mattias Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I think we fought hard and made a good show, but I have a nagging feeling that the second place competition is between the lesser chapters... Ever get the feeling that our zealous rallying of the codex-followers may have been slightly reckless given our subsequent split? :P Still, 'twas all in the spirit of the ETL after all :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290799-the-dolourus-crusade/page/4/#findComment-3762221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Indeed Brothers, our ZEAL has pushed our MANY lesser Brothers on to an outstanding show. We can be proud, a victory won, a battle lost, but THE CRUSADE IS ETERNAL!!! I will look in a minute, but I believe Codex Space Marine the Black Templar and others Codex, as the ETL was originally, would have won? Holy Emperor on Terra, we would have SMASHED IT!!!!!!

minigun762 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Put things in their proper perspective. A single (if oversized) Chapter was a strong challenge to the numberless minions of the Warp.

greggles Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 You know you're a black templar when...

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yes, my first game of 7th Ed is now coming. Plans are being drawn up to visit GW HQ and fight there. 2000 points against the manace that is the Necrontyr. The race my BT army was originally created to fight. The story behind my Crusade. I am taking my LR and my LRC and my shooty Crusader squad, my assault Crusader squad, my vindicator and my Predator Executioner. My Marshall, Grimaldus, my other Chaplain. Questions. Take my SR or buy a Hunter/Stalker? Which table to play on? Do I take my Knight? Oh so many questions. ++ First post edited, new names and kit added. ++ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290799-the-dolourus-crusade/page/4/#findComment-3763795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
