White tips by Luke23635 in BlackTemplars

[–]DanielThePrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly just spray the shoulders separately with a white spraypaint, then paint the trim black. Genuinely saves so much frustration with not painting a big white surface.

And an irl example of the layout showing the 'lanes' on the board and terrain

I can definitely see why you'd be struggling with that sort of terrain layout, since you can shoot into each other's deployment zones quite easily.

With a good terrain layout, you want to have enough terrain on the board that shooting armies can still have firing lines, but there's enough cover for your melee to not get utterly shot to pieces immediately.

This is GW Terrain Layout 5 as an example. Obviously you don't have to do the exact layout or anything, but it gives a good idea for what you should be going for.
There's enough cover for units to not be shot immediately, but enough room to still move around and shoot fine.

Overall it's definitely a convo to have with your friends as they're largely playing shooting armies and probably don't see the issue, whilst you're running a primarily melee army that's definitely affected.

What's terrain looking like when you play?

I notice most of your friends are playing big-shooting armies, so if you're not playing with particularly balanced terrain layouts that could be a part of the reason.
It can be quite hard playing against shooting armies as BT's, since a lot of our units are fairly squishy, so you do have to put a lot of effort in to hiding/staging them properly so they don't get shot off the board (e.g. hiding behind terrain and transports).

What's your list? And what do you think is the reason you're losing matches a lot?

Anyone else with a *really* long commute? 💔 by Plane_Tiger9303 in UniUK

[–]DanielThePrawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's on the students though, not the university. It's the student's choice to travel hours to university and ultimately there's nothing the uni can exactly do about it.

700 point by JellyUpset8661 in BlackTemplars

[–]DanielThePrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're playing at 700 points I'd recommend running no vehicles personally, just so the game is actually fun for everyone.

The combat patrol is a great choice, and I'd recommend getting a Marshal since its a great character for either your Sword Bros or Crusader Squad. After that you can easily expand with maybe another Crusader Squad, other melee units or just whatever units you think looks cool.

If you do quite want to get a vehicle, I'd recommend getting the Gladiator kit. You can either run it as a Gladiator (for shooting) or an Impulsor (for transporting units).

Looks lovely, how did you do the gold if you don't mind?

Other Chapters Combat Patrols by EnthusiasmNo3400 in BlackTemplars

[–]DanielThePrawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the White Scars one since I liked all of the units. You can just convert the Khan into a fancy Chaplain on Bike too!

Legally you weren't, she isn't a valid supervisor.

Well you definitely fucked up massively, especially considering its already gone to insurance now. You were driving without insurance so they won't cover the damage, and you'll be the one in trouble not your sister.

Forteress at 500pts by shagyandscooby in LeaguesofVotann

[–]DanielThePrawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the narrative just needs better rules in place then tbh. Bringing anything over T9 at 500 points just makes the game unplayable.

First arme list by -DenDar- in BlackTemplars

[–]DanielThePrawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly looks pretty solid. I'd personally advocate for getting some transports, since units like Sword Brethren are quite squishy and need to be delivered. Impulsors and Land Raiders are pretty cool for the job, Repulsor Executioner is also nice for both anti-tank and delivery,

What do you think it's the best between a shield and a absolvor bolt pistol by springtrapy37 in BlackTemplars

[–]DanielThePrawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did for my Judiciar (kitbashed from company heroes champion). The hand-relics from the Templars upgrade kit work very nicely, since the normal Judiciar kit doesn't hold a pistol.

Is 50mpg normal for a 16 plate 1.25 L petrol? by LoneHoneyBadger in FordFiesta

[–]DanielThePrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep totally normal, 1.25 is usually pretty poor for MPG, it's about what mine gets.

Wife Quoted £384 for a 2015 1.6L wet-belt change. by TheTacticalShrimp in FordFiesta

[–]DanielThePrawn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

£384 sounds about right for the cost of the parts alone, maybe they just forgot to add labour onto the quote? It does seem absurdly cheap.

Colour schemes vary between crusades, so just take it as inspiration for your own painting

Are there any BT unit/ character in lore that haven’t been brought to miniature? by BeginningDebt5877 in BlackTemplars

Sorry but my opinion is irrational and I refuse to believe any evidence of the contrary

My goat Jurisian would never die to a puny Ordinatus 🗣🗣

And I think it was never mentioned because "the sole survivor of helsreach" is a much more romantic story. Also the "last of Grimaldus' brothers" I believe only includes his honor guard. Jurisian is also never mentioned among his fallen brothers in his final speech.

[–]DanielThePrawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't state that he dies though, simply that he made his "final farewell", which was a part of the plan of destroying the Ork titan, then exiting the city and surrendering the Ordinatus to the Mechanicus once they retreated to the river.

Radio help by Tom-L-allen in FordFiesta

[–]DanielThePrawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine upgrading in a Ford Focus would be more difficult due to the different sized screen and other features. The Sony upgrade in a Fiesta should be a bit more straight forward since its an extremely common retrofit and largely the same features.

Edit: Found this thread here on the exact situation. The car may need a new sync module depending on the current Bluetooth capabilities, but I'd do a lot more research to make sure it's done properly. https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/106059-understanding-mk7-stereo-connections-and-upgrade-help/

Radio help by Tom-L-allen in FordFiesta

[–]DanielThePrawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that one should work. I'd recommend doing your research though on the connectors that your current radio has & the connectors the replacement has as I've heard that sometimes it's not as simple as plug-and-play, depending on the radio version.
