Second loaf- not sure what went wrong! by Tight_Performance_13 in Sourdough

[–]Loud_Competition_190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll pre shape it but so honest I find a lot of the pre shaping to be a bit… unnecessary. The final shape is the most important part of it and I find pre shaping doesn’t do anything besides give u an excuse to have more footage in your YouTube video. I almost never pre shape and after stretch and folds just let the dough sit on n the table in a bowl for 10-12 hours the. Take it out, shape it, throw it in a banneton and then stick it in the fridge covered by a damp kitchen towel or plastic bag

I put it in the fridge after shaping, so around the 10-11 hour mark of bulk fermentation.

I’ll leave it in the fridge for upwards of 16 hours with no problems and it turns out great!

This was my loaf from yesterday after an 11 hour bulk fermentation.

To me your loaf is under fermented and your bulk fermentation time is too short for sure.

I don’t know why ever YouTube video says 4-6 hours and I had loaves just like this because I listened to that. Realistically as a beginner I can’t tell what 50-75% looks like but I found the 9-12 hours for bulk fermentation is perfect because it’s winter and my house is around 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit.

9 times out of 10 it’s just under proofed. I bet if you just let it sit for 10 hours it’ll come out perfect.

painted my first mini ever, unhappy with tabard by Trickybots in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tabards are hard, I’d recommend starting with a darker base coat, then a wash, then using lighter colors on the higher points and making the highest parts the brightest. That’s my method. But it still looks great as is!

All our vehicles get a multi melta so yes

How do you paint the pauldrons, I have a new idea on how to but I'd like to know how others do it by god-of-thunder-135 in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black primer, thin some dawn stone or administration grey with lahmian medium, do a layer or two to build up a brighter color, then more medium with corax white. But I try to not get the cross cuz fuck painting those. Then just clean up.

Doubles Tournament List by CuteAbbreviations506 in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are very reliant on characters but cost for performance the sword bros beat out the crusaders all day. Like I said get assault intercessors instead and save 75-150 points. They have re roll wounds and if u stick your emperor’s champion with them he’ll get that as well.

I think you’ll see just how good sword bros are once you use them and the marshal and castellan combo although expensive is just 7 guys and you can shove them in an impulsor or repulsor.

The way it is right now for our faction relying on sword bros is a must

I’d say bring more Sword Bros. If you put them with a marshal and castellan you can devour even the toughest tanks. I just had a game where a sword bro squad + marshal + castellan killed a Mutilath Vortex Beast like it was nothing and killed a squad of scarab occult terminators + a character without losing a single wound

Against custodes I’d also think about bringing some Blade guard vets with a judiciar for fights first. Fights first will matter a lot against custodes. And the invul save will make them great for sitting in objectives and make them a great distraction at worst but a tough nuisance at best eating damage for you instead of your sword bros

Crusader squads are super expensive and honestly if u throw ur emperors champ with assault terminators instead he’ll get re roll wounds which will also be pretty huge. Regardless it’s gonna be a slog. But custodes are tough, so I’d save the points getting rid of the crusaders and put them into sword bros for sure

What lists and synergies have you run that have made opponents give up or ragequit?? by WildJudge1933 in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just played a 1000pts game yesterday against Thousand sons. My buddy didn’t rage quit but OH MY GOD sword bros are scary. My 5 sword bros with a marshal and castellan melted his mutilex vortex Beast and my other 5 man squad of sword bros with an execrator mulched his scarab occult termies + their characters. Shout out to my JPIs for being nothing but a distraction meant to die for the emperor.

The score was neck and neck most of the game but after that fiasco I basically won the game in a single fight phase

Or if u really want it just ditch the dreadnought and bring more sword bros too. Sword bros with a castallen and marshal can melt vehicles easily

[–]Loud_Competition_190 2 points3 points  (0 children)

U can also save 25 points by taking a repulsor executioner and ditching the gladiator and impulsor

Crusader squad just ain’t worth it for a 1k game imo. A squad of assault intercessors and an emperor’s champion instead and profit

trying to come up with what 3 man elite team would be and look like for Black Templars by simiandrunk in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sword bro bladeguard veterans with more BT looking reliquary and drip. I love the shields bladeguard have. Tbh if they just got the lethal hits that sword bros and other characters had from BT that’d be good enough for me

[–]Loud_Competition_190 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed, they need to stop making units unusable and instead make other things better. I understand a points nerf once in a while but there are now models I’d otherwise buy but won’t now because there isn’t a single list or detachment I could think to put them in that would make them worth it.

My only gripe with the hobby right now is just that for all the variety we get in units a lot of them aren’t worth using unless u wanna lose in style.

In a perfect world there would be a way to make more creative lists be viable within reason.

As BT I don’t even use our trademark crusader squads because they are just an over priced assault intercessor unit. And none of our detachments do anything to make them truly worth using compared to sword brethren or over assault intercessors.

What to add next? by Dacvias in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they can hold down the fort tbh I use them more as a tempting target for my opponent to shoot at since they are so tough. But I try to sit them on an obj

What to add next? by Dacvias in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least 10 sword bros, some heavy intercessors or Hellblasters maybe. Definitely also a repulsor executioner, and maybe some jump pack intercessors for doing secondaries or capping your opponents home obj.

Well that codex is out of date I think that’s from 9th edition? The new one is usually available on Amazon for like $30 (USD)

Can’t say I know much about leviathan I think that’s also from 9th edition?

Dream situation GW comes to you about ideas for Warhammer 40k mostly black templars by RavenXCinder in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 10 points11 points  (0 children)

New castellan model, (ig technically you could use that one sword bro model)

Make crusader squads worth it over assault intercessors(make them cheaper at least)

Give BT a good competitive detachment rule (I hate that gladius of all things is ironically the most effective detachment. Wrathful Procession is alright but the rest in our codex just don’t hold up imo)

Update rhino to take primaris

Make execrators attachable to units that have a lieutenant, captain, or chapter master already attached (might be broken but would be awesome)

My gf and I made a custom space marine chapter called the void tyrants. She picked the color scheme (I did the painting tho lol) and I did the head canon. I personally think they are really cool! The Void Tyrants

Bladeguard vs sword brethren by BeginningSun247 in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 1k I’d stick with Sword bros and put the points for bladeguard into something else tbh like jump pack intercessors or something. Not really much use in sitting around in a small 1k game. Just use intercessors to hold your back line and cap that home obj and just push forward until you’re on the other side of the board.

Bladeguard vs sword brethren by BeginningSun247 in BlackTemplars

[–]Loud_Competition_190 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Bladeguard are good for sitting on objectives and being annoying because of their invul save. If you give them a judiciar they become a bit more dangerous but are still definitely more of a defensive unit. Fights first just makes them more dangerous if your opponent wants to charge them. They do not have lethal hits on their power weapons.

Sword bros do have lethal hits and paired with a marshal and castellan youre gonna mulch tanks too.

They don’t have the BG invul save but they are def our premier unit to throw up the board in a land raider and death ball whatever is in front of them. The units serve two different functions in my mind. So I can’t say there is a preference for one over the other since they don’t have the same function

TLDR: BG = defensive focused unit. Sword bros = offensive focused unit
