gmaleron Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hello everyone! As a few of you know I have been working on building an Imperial Fists Templar themed army and have already purchased a little bit of my army to start it. However a friend of mine who also wanted or wants to do Fists approached me recently and asked if I'd be willing to trade up my 20 Templars for anything I wanted from Forgeworld that was close to or equal value. my thought immediately went to the Salamanders and a "Set everything on Fire" style of army as I love the Pyroclast models and if I may be honest I love fire! The good news is is that everything else I purchased for my army can easily be used for a Salamander army as they would be similar in play style. The ideas behind both my lists: TEMPLARS: A Land Raider rush styled list with lots of blood thirsty Templars eager to get in grips with their foe and chop them up in close combat. I've never had a close combat oriented Army before so it would give me a different change of pace. SALAMANDERS: Again another Land Raider rush style list but this time instead of Templars I have Pyroclasts ready to burn the ever living hell out of everything! Though not as potent in close combat they still pack power weapons and on top of that have a Flamer that can be used as both a Heavy Flamer and a Melta weapon. Also thanks to the "Covenant of Fire" Rite of War my vehicles get a 5+ invulnerable save against melta, plasma and foci weaponry. As you can see it's quite a debate as I love both Legions and my friend offered to buy me 20 Pyroclasts if I decided to go with Salamanders so I am NOT hurting in regards to what I have purchased already. Let me know what you guys think and thanks for posting!

Reyner Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Tell you what, go for Salamanders and we will split the Pyroclasts 50/50. :P You can't really turn that offer down tbh it is pretty awesome what your friend wants to do.

lionofjudah Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hmmmm.... As a member of the VIIth I have to say that that's a nice offer and do you want to go green or stay yellow?? Fire cleansing or fists pimp smacking? Also, do you want to wait, wash and assemble an equal number of doods;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302511-an-interesting-offer-need-help-deciding/#findComment-3930810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmaleron Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Good news is I'm not painting it someone else is lol. And I really don't know, I have a bad habit of deciding in general and both armies have their appeal. I may just have to have two armies of 2500 points to satisfy both!
