Medjugorje Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) its so crazy how the tournament scene struggles with the new supplemen but the rest is that hyped. Btw... the new lore of the BT is great. Edited October 14, 2021 by Medjugorje BitsHammer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmu Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Wait, you can have Grimmy and a MoS in the same list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Wait, you can have Grimmy and a MoS in the same list? No. Ol' Grim has the MoS keyword. EDIT: Since the Cenobyte servitors are in a seperate FOC slot and not with Grim that's the old list where Grim wasn't a MoS.

LordValandil Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Wait, you can have Grimmy and a MoS in the same list? Old rules. He said it was the curtain call to the old rules, so the tournament didn’t update yet. Hence 5 man crusader squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still take 5 man Firstborn Crusader squads in the new book. but it was just taken because they used to be cheap. I dont know if i prefer cruaser squads over Assault Intercessors by 5 points difference but one attack each model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Assault Intercessors have a great stratagem and still access to real Transhuman. Crusadersqud for 100 points ave access to sword brother with lightning claws ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJyo Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Am I resurrecting a dead thread? Just curious if anyone has info on the planned release schedule for november. We have potentially 6 boxes coming out. Crusaders, sword brethren, grim, EC, Helbrecht, upgrade sprue. It's alot for one month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Given GW's penchant to do pun-related timings on releases (like Orktober), I heard the worrying speculation they could be aiming for Black friday with us. But no, I got no info. Brother Carpenter, SirJyo and BitsHammer 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 as long as the book is new we need several threads until we have found our lists and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9x19 Parabellum Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 That's fine I need a couple weeks to paint up my 13 new Crusaders. BLACK BLΠFLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargingSoll Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Had a fun and small 25PL Crusade game at my local GW today, my templars faced an orc stormboys army. My army being a crusader squad, Emperor's Champion and two 5 man intercessor squads. Had the master at arms Warlord Trait which does wonders as an heroic intervention monsters. Opponent got first turn and went forward and charged my crusader squad with my Champion by their side. He intervened and got charged with during the game, not only surviving but destroyed the enemy in holy close combat and blunting a squad of 10 storm boys to one with 4 remaining and killing the enemy Warlord the next turn. Used Suffer Not the Unclean to Live vow to help with the 5 Toughness of the orks. Sixs to hit with a chainsword is a dead ork. Going forwards with bigger games in the future gonna have another crusader squad, redemptor from the box, chaplian and bladeguard. Edit: I learn the power of fight first when being charged and prolonged combat, I only wanted the extra attack for him.

TheOneTrueZon Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Anyone heard of when the rest of the good stuff, ie - Helbrecht, Grimaldus, Castellan Chonk, will be dropping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsHammer Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 So I've been rolling AAC atound in my head, and I think I was looking at it wrong: the bonus attack isn't the main buff, the bonus AP from being in the Assault Doctrine early is. Plus we don't have to switch Doctrines right away meaning we can ride the Tactical Docteine for an extra turn with no downside (doctrine-wise). On a different note, anyone else suspecting Bladeguard, Vanguard Vets and flamer type weapons might go up in points this December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Vanguard vets probably, doubt the rest will. Khornestar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 AAC basically giving us the benefit of the Tactical Doctrine and Assault Doctrine for two turns is, I think, really good. It may not be Uphold good, but I think it's better than the rest. BitsHammer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra attacks in prolonged combats are just icing on that increased lethality cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I know my Vindicator wouldn't want to get stuck in melee because of AAC - but yes, overall it's a solid Vow, with only Uphold being better. And in some matchups AAC could even be better. BitsHammer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
