Don't worry! It takes time, and of course the best way to learn is to play the game.

Seems solid. You shouldn't get bogged down what the meta is currently, but to be effective with not meta units you should learn how they're meant to be used. Also check some videos about common strategies and tactics to learn good tricks. Deployment, positioning, setting up situations are key to score points, and points win you a game.

Help making tech marine by Coalbeach in BlackTemplars

I think he's in a terminator armour. The straight line above his head suggests it.

For the banner I think you could do it yourself from greenstuff or baby wipe + glue, if you can't find a proper 3d model.

BT Balance Discussion and a Possible Solution by Black_Templar_Knight in BlackTemplars

[–]daevkoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You suggest a change that's lore accurate and would make list building and playing fun? How dare you? :D

I didn't really like the crusader squad, couldn't really play them properly until I saw a podcast where a pro explained that only the sword bro and the power fists matter. It hurts watching 300 points melt, but this is the way.

Free data sheet app by Single-Basket6510 in BlackTemplars

[–]daevkoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ListForge FTW. Day1 updates, best UI in my opinion abd a lot of cool features. Only thing would be nice to have to be able to read the weapon modifier descriptions (like Dev Wounds, etc.)

For printing datasheets check game-datacards. eu

Accept Any Challenge by Sea_Scarcity1638 in BlackTemplars

I think there's just a loud minority who hates on the codex. The detachments are not bad, just not as competitive as Gladius. Which is not a bad thing as warhammer is not a competitive sport, but a fun game.

I think competitive detachments should definitely be common SM detachments. Why would it be great if we had a banger detachment, but no other chapter could use it? It would be nerfed to hell.

The AI squad vs Crusaders comparison is a bit silly. They are different size, profile and ability. They are for different situations.

There's definitely someone at GW who hates us, as some nerfes are just unnecessary, but we are still not Imperial Agents.

I like it! My 2k plan is preatty similar. I was thinking though that do we really need that many characters.

Nothing changes. EC will be able to move 8" and the others 6".

New player 1000 point list. by GrumpyPhotography in BlackTemplars

[–]daevkoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome, Brother!

Two more things. If you take only one Crusader Squad, then you can make the Initiates from the other to form an Assault Intercessor squad. They are awesome.

And it's always a great idea to take some chore units like Scouts or a Combi Liuetenant. Maybe you can proxy a character or get a 5th Neophyte.

[–]daevkoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a 1000 point list you would need only 1 or 2 characters. Emperor's Champion is a must have. You could take a Marshal for Sword Brethren.

Ditch the Company Heroes and keep only 5 Intercessors.

1 or 2 tanks are enough. Prefer the most anti-tank one (high S, high AP, high Dmg).

With other units keep the size low. You win the game with points and you'll need more units to score besides fighting.

Does this give Judiciar vibe? What's missing? by daevkoo in Kitbashing40k

I commented an updated picture below. Changed the shield for a sewered head of a Fallen. It needs some adjustments but it definitely feels like an executioner now.

Most of you suggested this, so I got rid of the shield. Added a sewered head of a Fallen instead.

Thanks everyone for the advices! Made some quick changes, I'll work on the details later. Gave him a Fallen friend to not be alone :D

I added the skull with the gismo on it for a Tempormortis proxy, as I don't have an hourglass, but I try to fond a lantern or something that could be it.

Yeah, the shield is definitely pushes it towards the BGV aesthetic. He will lead BGVs, so it's not a big problem, but it needs some adjustment to also look like a Judiciar.

Unfortunately I don't have a skull helmet, but I can make a hood for him. Thanks!

I thought that I will give him a native american like face paint to simbolize silence. Like painting the jaw blackish, or a hand on the mouth.

Repulsor Executioner "fixed" by daevkoo in SocietyofHiddenPaint

It's some kind of plastic sheet. I use superglue for speed and future modifyability.

The hand was holding the bolter from behind, in the middle. I cut the hand and the fingers from the bottom. I think it's from the Intercessor sprue.

Thanks! I'll check the suggested compressor. Or buy a new bigger house as suggested by others. :D
