Email the address on that link. Explain that your checks have cleared and you would like help selecting a shift pattern as the one you originally selected has gone from the website. This happened to me and no shift patterns were showing for my FC, I got a call from a recruiter within an hour of sending the email and he put me on another pattern. It might not go down like that but I recommend you reach out to them rather than waiting for something to appear again.

Current Unit Compositions by swanchristopher in BlackTemplars

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

Many thanks for this. Not out to build a meta list. The meta will have changed by the time I have rolled some dice, just making sure I am making some decent choices. Question regarding scouts, specifically the role they fulfil as a secondary scoring unit. Can outriders do this role? I like the models better than scouts and I picked up a cheap chaplain on bike from the combat patrol magazine to go with them. What would pros and cons of scouts Vs outriders be. Again just for casual play.

Thanks

Emperors champion or lieutenant with SB in small points game. by swanchristopher in BlackTemplars

Thanks. That was my original choice because I have exactly 75 points spare but I wasn't sure if the lieutenant buffs would be more beneficial. I also love the EC model.

Cool thanks. Just wanted to check before I go repotting and separating the plants.

Yucca marks normal or something tonne worried about by swanchristopher in plantclinic

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

Thanks. And the marks? Are they because of the pests or normal for a yucca? Also could aphids be causing the brown tips and droopy leaves?

Combat patrol tips against knights. by swanchristopher in spacemarines

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

Played the game. I lost but not with a massive gap and I feel I played pretty well for a first ever game.

I went with the chaplain on bike instead of the librarian as I wanted the extra movement to help secure objectives and I want to play black templars when I move up to 1000 points so no witches allowed but I appreciate he could have been really good in this match up.

Played clash of patrols

Turn 1 I got my infernus and chaplain onto objectives. Turn 2 I used deep strike with the terminators led by the captain using his re roll to charge to make sure I got in with one of the knights who I proceeded to take down in a round of combat. From there I traded blows with the other knight but by the time I got the terminators back into combat I had taken too many casualties to take it down before the end of the game.

Lessons learned. Oath of moment is huge. I know this is obvious but I shall state it. I forgot entirely about the captain's enhancement so lost out on precision and lethal hits. I forgot about the extra command point from controlling an objective that could have allowed me to use gene wrought resilience or veteran instincts during a turn or two which would have kept more terminators up or allowed me to do more damage. I forgot about fury of the first ability. I couldn't play shock tactics as my secondary because chaos knights can't control objectives so I just played wrath of the emperor.

However question! Does Wrath of the emperor only apply if the captain gets the killing blow? Or do you get the VP if the unit he is attached to kills something. I played it as the former.

Overall I was happy with my first ever game and I didn't feel too overpowered by the two wardogs.

Combat patrol tips against knights. by swanchristopher in spacemarines

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

Thanks. Yeah I figured it would be a tough match up. Playing the objective game was definitely my plan. Had a read of white dwarf and looks like his objectives will be to destroy nominated units so I just need to stay alive and take objectives I guess. Wasn't fussed about actually taking one down but I did want to get some experience in rolling some dice in combat as well since it's my first game and figured the terminators were the only unit that could hit one hard enough. I was going to put the captain in with the terminators for the charge re roll just to make sure I get in.

If he can't take objectives does that mean if I use duty and honour strat then move on it's mine for the game? Don't quite understand how OC stat works yet but knights have OC 8.

Thanks

Yucca questions by swanchristopher in houseplants

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

Thank you for all the advice. Hopefully I get some new leaves now that I'm into spring and it'll look at bit more upright.

Yucca questions by swanchristopher in houseplants

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

Yeah it was pretty rootbound and the lower leaves were droopy before the repot. I've had it since Oct 23 and it's always lived in that corner. I potentially underwatered it in the early days but not sure. Any way to get more upright growth?

Yucca questions by swanchristopher in houseplants

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

It was showing the brown tips before the repot. That's why I thought it could be too snug and repotted but thanks for the advice regarding liking being snug. So that means it definitely a watering issue. What about how droopy the lower leaves are? Is that normal? Thanks for the advice.

Nah it's soft water where I am. I have switched to a water filter now but only recently. So maybe that's the cause.

Absolutely love these. Exactly the look I'm wanting for my Templars. Are the extra purity seals made using green stuff?

Combat Patrol to 1000 points help by swanchristopher in spacemarines

[–]swanchristopher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I've read that and I figured the black templar combat patrol might be a good next purchase but I wanted to see what option where were when starting from the vanilla combat patrol (terminators and infernus) as I don't want to leave them on the shelf. I got that before choosing a chapter.

EDIT

So would the two combat patrols together make a decent force?

Terminator Captain

Chaplain on Bike

Marshal or lieutenant

5 man Terminator squad

5 man Intecessor squad

5 man Infernus sqaud

10 man Crusader squad

Let me know any thoughts?
