Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Interesting new Goonhammer Article on Smash Captains, a BT Marshal comes out second to only the Scars when you combine all of the shenanigans we have access to currently. (And that's without any rules specifically designed for us beyond Vigilus) https://www.goonhammer.com/hammer-of-math-smash-captain-thunderdome/ Edited October 29, 2019 by Brother Adelard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And that's without any rules specifically designed for us beyond Vigilus) https://www.goonhammer.com/hammer-of-math-smash-captain-thunderdome/ A bit pricey though. Compare to actual White Scars (not Successors) who don't need any stratagems and clock at 52%. But I'm curious now about the wording we get in PA. Right now we can use all Imperial Fists Stratagems, trheir Warlord traits (unlike Crimson Fists) and relics with the usual stratagem tax. If PA doesn't specifically state that 'use these rules or the the rules in IF supplement', then we would get new stuff and keep the older new stuff with potentially still being able to tap into not-really-old-but-actually-old new stuff in Vigilus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if any new rules for us in PA make Vigilus obsolete. I also expect a nerf on the use of Fists rules. I just find the complete omission of any mention of Templars in the rules of the book really weird.

Smirnov Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 No question that there should be a rules clarification if we get our own write-up, but coming from the people who gave us Iron Father Feirros and invulnerable dreads, I very much expect this part of the rules to be a copy/paste from successors entry in supplements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because additional attacks proc better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Yeah, so you can arguably improve upon those results. That was just a straight comparison of like for like, without relics. (They also haven't factored in things like having Grimaldus nearby, or the new relic banner) Edited October 29, 2019 by Brother Adelard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirnov Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The article was specifically testing Smash Captains against Knights, so Teeth of Terra wasn't an option by these conditions. I think every chapter can do better if they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Let's stay on topic please. What if any of the new IF rules (which may be temporary depending on PA) will you guys be taking? I think a couple of the warlord traits are stellar and will definitely consider using them in my games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 That relic banner is a must I think, having the Ancient in the fray is pretty vital generally, but with a guaranteed plus one to hit, that frees up a chaplain litany to go on something else. jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 So could we use BT CT as a random successor (not bt specifically) and still get access to IF stuff? If PA2 blocks BT from using it, could we still use BT CT but without acess to BT WT relics and strats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PA2 blocks BT from using it, could we still use BT CT but without acess to BT WT relics and strats? in terms of lore - YES. rule-wise RAI AND RAW - NO Edited October 31, 2019 by Medjugorje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because BT are not a first founding players are not able to use BT CT via the Inheritors of the Primarch successor tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Wait, I think you can. Why couldn't you use the BT chapter tactic and the IF stuff? We play exactly the same as CF essentially. Oh wait, is this for someone trying to play another IF successor with BT rules? I.e. Red Templars? (White Templars are now not of Dorn's lineage.)

Medjugorje Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That could be a thing in the fluff for good novels/books (white templar are not Dorns sons) but thats another topic. RAW you could play BT with IF-Supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asking if you could chose the BT tactic but via the IoP tactic which you can't do because we aren't listed. Basically looking for a way around a potential ban from PA of us using IF stuff.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Ah I see. Yeah that's not a usable workaround, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I am just wondering about our CT and restrictions. As it stands it's no use to run BT rules in the PA supplement as a chapter with unknown founding maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands it's no use to run BT rules in the PA supplement as a chapter with unknown founding maybe. We don't really know anything for sure about PA other than we're in it. So I think it's a little early to worry about that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gang_chong Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I’m wondering if we can also use Legacy of Dorn doctrine rule as well... together with our own Chapter Tactics, Righteous Zeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can, we are a successor of the Imperial Fists. Godspear 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
