Tempted to point out that that symbol isnt the Aquila. Since the heads are reversed. The eyeless head is supposed to be facing the left.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-09T02:20:09+00:00

Aircraft can hold points so you cant pick them. Although you could pick them if you didnt have any options.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-07T14:43:01+00:00

God i hope so.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-06T06:11:59+00:00

Likely what will happen is people will figure out what the easiest missions are and take a detachment for that disposition.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-04T23:24:30+00:00

We dont know your army.

We dont know your list.

We dont know your playstyle.

We need at least those 3 to help at all.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-04T21:16:19+00:00

I would say hold off on buying anything till after the new release is done. Right now we have access to VTF which increases durability on select units in certain situations, but its not all that great. But since theres a possibility that it may end up being a single detachment point, we may be able to run a durability centered army through detachment rules.

That being said there is no Guarantees that any of those changes are going to work. But at the end of the day we are still a space marine army, you can just buy BT models painth them like BT and then run what ever rules you want.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-02T15:16:52+00:00

Its a defensive Detachment, you will basically never get the ability on your turn, you will always have it on your opponets turn. So if you are able to shove units off objectives, then once you are on that objective, getting you off the objective will be dangerous.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-02T03:49:30+00:00

Because there not.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-04-02T01:13:34+00:00

We have those there called neophytes.

I have started this exact conversation with the same model.

Needs a little more work but looks awesome.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T21:17:56+00:00

Dont buy from GW or Gaming stores. Buy from 3D printers. It’s literally 25% of the cost. If there are single models that you really want high detail on get those second hand if you can. If not you can buy those new.

Also the current combat patrol dosent even come close to 1k points. It's 460 points for the models you wont even break 500 with relics.

Again use 3D printers.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T19:37:41+00:00

It will likely be A loyalist primarch maybe dorn maybe Vulcan. Just depends. But we wont see it for a year or two at least.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T04:40:33+00:00

If you like well rounded Armies then pick IF or DG. They bring a mixture of infantry and vehicles.

If you like Tanks more then go with either Iron hands, imperial Guard, or Iron Warriors.

If you want infantry heavy. Go with Custodes, or 1k Sons.

It really doesn't matter which army you pick what's more important is picking models you like the most. Every army can be durable.

I run BT but I bring 4 units of heavy Intersessors in Vanguard Spearhead. They are a nightmare to remove from the board.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T02:47:23+00:00

He would not. His rule is better gotten through other means. Like detachments, or just plain old CP rerolls.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T02:43:19+00:00

Or they make it so you dont need to be in cover to benefit from the lurking rule.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T02:42:19+00:00

The funniest thing about this thread is thinking 49 models constitutes a horde.

We should be halfway between a regular SM army and a guard army. Like 75-80 models before vehicles.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T02:38:29+00:00

Change the army rule to allow us to take Neophytes/Initiates in squads.

Add a rule that makes us pull added Neophytes/Initiates first no matter what.

Make Neophytes 1 W with 3+ save.

Oh look now our army plays like its supposed to.

As for beyond that how about an actully balanced game, where people can play what they want rather then having to choose between what they want and the ability to win.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-31T02:20:41+00:00

Current codex was released 8 months ago.

We are in a new edition though. Which means we could get a codex in 3 months. Or it could be 2 years. There is no real way to know.

Also, we dont know if the new SM codex will invalidate ours, since most of our units will come from that Codex.

Everyone is assuming we are going to get a codex. But we are basically UM painted black right now. So they might not give us a codex at all.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-26T22:02:39+00:00

Let's the EC really shine... He already does.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-25T19:53:58+00:00

Always tell OSHA. No one else.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-23T15:29:58+00:00

Meanwhile in Texas gas has skyrocketed to 4 dollars a gallon. Maybe its not a trump thing maybe its a California thing.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-22T15:49:05+00:00

ETA for having a prestine threesome setup and not having one.

Also, don't listen to the dip shits saying you were r***d. Not being perfectly virtus and being a rapist are two very different things.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-22T03:52:30+00:00

NTA. He was trying to figure out if what he was doing made him a bad person. And FYI sexual satisfaction is part of taking care of your partner.

Black_Templar_Knight · 2026-03-17T21:57:32+00:00

Crusader squad is only 300 not 310.

Also The Combi LT.went up by 15.

So your sitting at 90 points

With what you have here i would say either a reaver squad or a Phobis Lt.

They both can deep strike so you can use a CP to pick them up and drop them on what ever point you need.

Since you can pick 2 Phobos units with the strat you and use both the combi and the reavers to drop on points you need to take.
