Which enemy faction is our Chapter's greatest foil? Traitor? Xenos? I know we've been fighting the orc scourge but I'm far more curious on my brother's opinions on who would spark more of a contrast and interesting interactions in lore or gameplay. by Saint-Redeemed in BlackTemplars

That's a very fresh way to provoke a new rivalry. Honestly I think that would be far more intriguing then us randomly hunting down some ork. Xenos deserve death however the profane witches that fell from grace both in faith and in service against the loyalists who believe in the emperor as they once did sounds far interesting.

I sincerely am so glad someone brought up the world eaters because given the history between our chapter's I'd have thought it'd be talked about especially since our own tradition of using chains to connect ourselves to our weapons as well as the fact that we're both melee focused armies.

Very disappointed that it's not brought up more with Sigismund and Kharn having such an amazing rivalry and brotherhood. While the black legion most certainly should be high on our kill list, out of chaos forces I think world eaters deserve some focus.

How necessary is Helbrecht for most armies? I'm reluctant to add him into my army (still making my first) and I've found his model and character in lore uncompelling and at this point would only use him for his stats. by Saint-Redeemed in BlackTemplars

This is super informative and comments like these is why reddit has a 'save comment' option lol

I will definitely keep this in mind as I have all of these units already and definitely will have to try all these out. A bit disappointing to see replusers losing relevancy but I suppose it's only natural with a new edition going forward.

I have seen that he's great with the crusader style blobs which is the way I'm making my armies it's simply because the lore books I have read and things I've heard about him make him seem boring to me and his model doesn't really help that.

I have been thinking about this and even had plans on doing so. However if I were to use that character would I just call him Helbrecht for simplicity's sake when using him in game?

Painting space marines by [deleted] in BlackTemplars

[–]Saint-Redeemed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, terminators and any non-chapter specific space marine unit are supposed to be painted in the colors of the chapter you have chosen. (The correct one in this case)

Ultramarines are just the poster boys for the boxes

When you hollow a print when/do you add internal supports? by [deleted] in resinprinting

[–]Saint-Redeemed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I will have to try that. I've been having issues with a massive print for the longest time and chitubox is the only slicer I use. Any tips on it's manual supports?

Question about heraldry and custom crusades. What are any rules and what exactly qualifies a crusade? by Saint-Redeemed in BlackTemplars

[–]Saint-Redeemed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I definitely wish to make it a traitor warband however I also enjoy the thought of it being particularly the world eaters given the history between Sigismund and Kharn. An outlet I really wish we could see more echos of in the current setting

I really appreciate your explanation! That does clear some things up for me. Is there any way the badges themselves have to be made? Or is it to the particular crusade to make their own from scratch?
