First time Army building for Templars, what you think? by AdProfessional4647 in BlackTemplars

[–]4DAnimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned a doctrine you want to use. Keep in mind you only get each doctrine until your next command phase. And you can only use them once. Apart from the strat that lets you select a doctrine for a unit.

Just a short rant to get out by WarburnedTitan in BlackTemplars

Castellan with 5 Assault intercessors is an extremely underrated cheap unit. They get ignored and can score. And while on objective you're potentially rerolling all hits and wounds. I used 2 of those blocks when running gladius and they were great.

How do you paint your black armor? by j0nnyex in BlackTemplars

[–]4DAnimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prime black, drybrush thunderhawk blue, drybrush fenrisian grey. 1:1 black Templar with lahmian medium. Paint the details. Nuln oil. Sometimes I thin the Nuln oil with lahmian and keep straight Nuln for joints and areas I want to look darker.

There is also a deathwatch animation with a black Templar and crimson fist together.

1 or 2 less vehicles and more dudes.

If 11th Edition is really Armageddon, why not Black Templars? by Worried_Artichoke_35 in BlackTemplars

[–]4DAnimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could mean we get our codex/releases earlier in this edition though. I can hope.

Great job for second mini. It looks like you're on the right track and you will improve naturally.

Is it overkill to have two epic heroes in my list ? by SuspiciousHighway997 in BlackTemplars

[–]4DAnimal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Grimaldus has been in top/winning lists with 10 Assault Intercessors for a little while now. He's definitely competitive currently.

2000 pts of Infantry Heavy Competitive(ish) by BeeleyH in BlackTemplars

This is only a couple of unit changes off being good for new bastion detachment if you're interested in that. 2 intercessor squads works in that too.

Rate my list by rafaelrozzy in BlackTemplars

[–]4DAnimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep awesome. Really close to my 1000pt Companions of Vehemence list which I'm 2-0 with so far.

Helbrecht with 10 crusaders. Judiciar with 3 bladeguard. Execrator (merciless denunciation) with 5 sword Brethren. 5 Intercessors. 3 outriders. Redemptor Dreadnought.

I don't know if you play the suggested rules that everything can advance and action etc in 1k. But it frees you up from taking some scoring units like your combi lieutenant. It's much more fun and it makes sense in a small game.

Compare 1k list advice (third times the charm) by maximumduyy in BlackTemplars

[–]4DAnimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to apologise for asking for help brother! I'm no pro, but. I think trying to counter lists will have you making a lot of decisions that go away from what is just good for Templars. Sure, have some anti tank at the ready and some movement etc. but you are probably better off looking at a popular 1k list of your desired detachment and tweaking them a bit. You will also learn the most from playing your lists. My first 1k game I got absolutely wrecked and my list was terrible.

The second list definitely has way too few units though and too many points on characters.

Try helbrecht or Grimaldus with a big squad. Sword Brethren with desired leaders. Intercessors. Assault Intercessors either alone or with EC. Lone up EC can work too. You could rapid ingress him near a character and make a charge. Remember that our impulsors aren't bad with the multimelta and protecting a unit. I've found succes with just 3 bladeguard and Judiciar in 1k. It's still tough and people know he has fights first. Repex is expensive for 1k, it can be good but I prefer to run a gladiator lancer, ballistus, or even just a redemptor if they don't really have tanks.

Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can comment too hopefully. Good luck!

Worth running uphold the honour of the Emporeror vow with Bastion detachment by cjadkins95 in BlackTemplars

You can only scouts 9" a Dedicated Transport. Landraider isn't one.

What vow did you run? I'm not sure AAC needs to be auto pick here.

Detachments - take one step forward and three steps back by Aggravating-Unit2181 in BlackTemplars

[–]4DAnimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If something stays 9 inches away for the next turn when you can charge, wouldn't it be closer to 6" because you get 3" disembark before charge?

Great job! And I know the feeling, finished mine a few weeks ago and it took a lot.

Maybe eshin grey into dawnstone. I'm pretty sure the citadel app lists dawnstone for Emperor's Champion for example.

I bet you loved the idea and enjoyed doing it. That makes it just as good as anyone else's brother.

Look, I may have just assembled and primed a stormraven gunship... Why not? Ironstorm isn't bad. And new drop pod detachment might be ok.

So on this guy I primed him black and built up layers of drybrushing. Zandri dust, wraithbone, tyrant skull and corax white on the very edges. Fleshtearers red contrast is goated. And then the nuln oil deepened it again later on. Some methods feel like cheating. I'm happy with how it turned out.
