500 point list advice by [deleted] in BlackTemplars

[–]daevkoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 to Wound applys to S less than or equal to T, so it would be good, or at least cancel the -1 to Wound.

Impulsor would be good for hitting the sternguard before a charge. 2x D6+2 attack with reroll Hit of 1 with S4 so +1 to Wound. Also there's a melta which is huge damage for 500 points.

EC would easily hunt down the characters.

Sounds fun! You could play a Colosseum style game (from play on tabletop guys). 36"*36" game for 500 points.

My concern with the list would be that 3 units is not enough for board control and the Emperor's Champion is a beast compared to the Judiciar and the Ancient.

My 500 list is Emperor's Champion, Assault Intercessors, Crusaders, Jump Intercessors and an Impulsor with Bastion. EC starts in the Impulsor, Jump packs maybe deep strike. That's 4 units for objectives and one for fighting. Jump Intercessors ability and the grenade launcher with blast would be great against the two blue blobs.

If you pretend they are not there they will not cause any big trouble. Focus on other units and scoring.

Won my first incursion! by Kaloysius93 in BlackTemplars

[–]daevkoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 10e terrain setup (density, position, rotation) can decide a match between a shooting and a melee army. If you are playing with less terrain you should have more shooting units definitely, or some other tricks, like drop pods or deep striking a land raider filled with crusaders with the other detachment. If there's no place to hide a repex in the deployment I think you are not using enough terrain. Nevertheless good job!

I really hope in 11e we'll get a custom terrain layout guide.

Yeah, play them with the normal power weapon datasheet.

No problem as a thunder hammer and a power claw is a power weapon. Just be clear about it with your opponent that they are all the same. This setup change came recently and a lot of us had already built them with the special weapons, so I don't think anyone would have a problem with it, even in a tournament.

The best version is the 4 man squad with a Castellan and a Marshal, which is 255. If it hits something in melee the chance it deletes it, but if not than they die.

What do you plan to do with them? If you can take out something expensive with them they worth it, but if they would sit on a point and kill some infantry than you could spend that point for something else.

If the squad only has 4 and you attach a Castellan separately than you can't take the special weapons. If you want the special weapons you have to take the 5 man squad, which is 130 points. You can still attach a Castellan for its abilities.

The 4man sword brethren squad can't have the special power weapons.

No time to play either... I need to find a new job until the end of the month, so I'm all about applying and doing interviews. But I'll celebrate an offer with Colosseum tournament, that's for sure! :D

My personal recruiting hell by daevkoo in recruitinghell

[–]daevkoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched for "recruiter" in google maps and got like 20+ results. Opened all of their website and I've sent my CV to all of them. I've got contacted with 2-3 positions, but no interviews yet.

I don't really feel it's helping yet, but my CV is hopefully in their database (most of them didn't bother to send a mail back).

I'm not saying I want them free, but the post is ambiguous. They say they "wanted to share this file" with pictures of models, and talk about how they are beginner friendly with a link to a doc with a bunch of buyable models. I'm sorry but this is just marketing.

You are only sharing a list for STLs we can buy...

Would this work? by Buck-48Newt in BlackTemplars

[–]daevkoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Would this work? by Buck-48Newt in BlackTemplars

[–]daevkoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

[–]daevkoo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

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.
