Hoffa Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Hi, I'm dusting of an old army built for 4:th edition. What uses are there for crusader squads in the current codex except the obvious min sized squad to fill out troops?

Tokugawa Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Just filling troops slots. In 9th pre-codex rules, classic crusader was once 15pts per model. But even at that price, tournament lists still only take 5 men squads to filling troops slots. Spamming them in larger counts was not profitable. Now,18 pts… Edited December 11, 2021 by Tokugawa Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372596-crusader-squads-non-primaris/#findComment-5771805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 well, putting them in rhinos to move up the board and assault things would be fun, and you can give the sergeant and an initiate a power fist each for a nice total of 110pts per 5 man squad. Gives a nice punch to a unit that the opponent wouldn't expect too much, with 5 power fist attacks on the charge. Otherwise, let them have chainswords and some special weapons and you are good to go.Also, if you're not going into a rhino you could give a minimum squad 1 neophyte for the smoke grenades they give the squad. Or, if you don't care about too much competitiveness you could make 1 big squad of 20 guys, put grimaldus or an apothecary near them, and charge them forward across the board. I recommend giving the neophytes in this squad shotguns for that sweet, sweet damage 2 strategem.

Hoffa Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) What are the thoughts on initiates Neophytes? They seem a lite squishy with only 1 wound at 13p. My guess would be either:*Go big with lots of shotguns for the "Incendiary shells" damage 2 stratagem*Take a single initiate for the smoke grenades.* Edited December 12, 2021 by Hoffa Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372596-crusader-squads-non-primaris/#findComment-5771900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 What are the thoughts on initiates? They seem a lite squishy with only 1 wound at 13p. My guess would be either: *Go big with lots of shotguns for the "Incendiary shells" damage 2 stratagem *Take a single initiate for the smoke grenades.* *cough*Neophytes*cough* Initiates are our full fledged battle brothers. And I'd agree with going shotguns for the stratagem Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372596-crusader-squads-non-primaris/#findComment-5771905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
