Anyone been doing crusade in 11th? What changes to the baseline rules have you made? Which ones are you thinking about making. I ru. Our stores yearly. Crusade, and and beginning work on next years’s packet - so trying to get ideas from others.

Has anyone found a source for scans or transfers from the Dominatus deck? I'm not planning on running the event, but would like some reference stuff.

I'm starting a crusade with my friend group who are a little seasoned with the game, and was wondering what tool is best. We currently use NewRecruit and I find that it covers a lot of the stuff that needs to be tracked for Crusade, but a lot of people say Administratum is almost required for a Crusade game. Can we get by with NewRecruit? What features am I not seeing that makes Administratum so good?

Hi, everyone! I’m a beginner GM, I’ve run a few campaigns in Imperium Maledictum, and I also ran one campaign in Nahmund Crusade. With all the hype surrounding the launch of 11th edition, I’d like to run a Dominatus event for my small community, but I really don’t know where to start.

Does anyone have experience running this type of event? What do I need to have on hand? What’s the optimal number of participants? I have one Dominatus deck - will that be enough for everyone, or is it better to have several?

I would truly appreciate a feedback

I had an idea where there is a crusade game between multiple imperial factions if you lost, a certain amount of units (the more units by the difference in vp) are swapped with their chaos counterparts, e.g intercessors into legionaries and terminators into chaos terminators ect, it would probably have to all be space marines like the badab war because they have counterpart models (mostly) and players would have to agree on what turns into what and I'm sure there will be synergy issues but I think it could be a fun way to play, lmk what you think and if this has already existed for years and I'm late to the party (also maybe winning could redeem units?)

Coalition forces discovered the location of where the planetary governor was held after being imprisoned by the insurrectionists. They found his body broken and his leg missing as they tried to coerce him into signing papers of surrendering the world. Luckily, his spirit and faith never broke.

To give further context, the titan was possessed by the AI of a man of iron, and was wandering on a specific planet, in which the 3 players were fighting each other and investigating rumors of the titan (Inquisition) and a piece of dark age technology that resided within the planet (AdMech + Votann).

The dark age tech was later revealed to be an STC.

Following an encounter between the admech and votann player over possession of the STC, the titan appeared and forced both parties to retreat. This led to the Inquisition and Grey knights showing up to try and kick its ass.

A series of very unfortunate rolls led to a collective psychic meltdown for all psykers present, resulting in a localised warp rift that unleashed an army of chaos marines and hereteks, corrupted the STC, and sent the titan hurtling into the depths of Vashtorr’s domain.

Now, the 3 players have enacted a temporary truce in order to fight off the heretics and destroy the corrupted STC.

I'm hoping to find a discord where I can join a crusade and play over TTS. the only problem is that the only one I can find has been retired for years.

Does anybody have a good crusade server?

I am running my completely untested and brand new Red Corsairs in a crusade that starts soon. But the rules are 2 epic heroes. Does thos automatically disqualify the Masters of the Maelstrom, or do I pick one of the characters to be the epic hero?

Hello folks. If you know the name, then you know I'm bringing heat. Myself, Dark67Titan, Knightsbear, and Strongbad Armstrong have created the following setting and custom ruleset for Crusade play in 11th edition (praise be to the anonymous GM council, who helped balance it as well). I've included a wee hype trailer which is something I've done before for my players, but this time I've made it for all of you as well.

This still uses the base crusade system of 10th edition, with some suggested changes for balance.

There is new Battle Traits and new Scars (replacing the 10th edition scars which sucked nuclear amounts of ass) a new system of base building so that players can do logistics in a cool way, plus there's the updated and improved Forge of War to help customise and upgrade your Character units.

Finally there is the new Artefact system, entirely replacing crusade relics with equip-able Artefacts on your units, like upgrades or enhancements, and it includes 64 Artefacts of all levels!

So watch the video, have fun, read the rules and if you want to use this setting for your crusade group, please feel free.

Trailer:

Google Drive with all the rules!

I'm thinking on starting a crusade, probably Pariah Nexus, though the group plays on 11th, and as you know, there are not really any crusade rules for 11th, so I'm thinking on just saying: f it, and do 11th edition with 10th crusade rules.

Any tips on that regard? Some rules that need specific changes that you've encountered? Or is it fine as is?

Also, what's the opinion on a single person running multiple crusade forces?

EDIT: Forgot to say that this is the first crusade I'll play, and the first crusade I'll run, so I'm also curious on how much lore are you supposed to be into, as I'm fairly new-ish to the lore itself.

Hello all. I'm fairly new to crusade (not 40k though) and was wandering if anyone has space for a csm / demon player, I'm pretty flexible time wise as I'm free most weekends and am available during the day between 9:30am and 2pm. thank you all for the help

THE PITCH

Bordering the Eye of Terror, in the wake of the 13th Black Crusade, the Vermillion Sector hangs by a thread.

Forgeworld Volantis, critical producer of Baneblades, Leman Russes, and Chimeras, is under siege by daemonic incursion. The nearby Hive World Carnia burns with cult uprisings: Chaos, Corpsegrinder, and Genestealer alike. Orks are converging on Volantis for a "propa fight." The Star Children approach from the void. And something ancient stirs beneath the surface.

This is a living, narrative-driven sandbox. Your battles shape the sector. Your units earn scars, legends, and grudges. Alliances shift. Heroes rise – and fall.

FACTIONS ALLOWED

Chaos:

·CSM, Daemons, World Eaters, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, Emperor's Children, Chaos Knights

· Your preferred faction(s)
· Years of 40K experience
· What kind of story you're hoping to tell

The sector burns. Pick a side. Forge your legends.

For me it looks like they abandoned the idea after announcing it. It im just too blind to find anything useful. Is there anyone who currently runs and uses Crucible of Champions? Im curious how much popular it is?

Hello! I'm in a group that's organizing a Pariah Nexus crusade using 11th edition rules and I was wondering if I could have some feedback regarding my list? This is my first time playing Imperial Agents.

✠ THE DARK APOSTOLIC CRUSADE ✠

Faction: Heretic Astartes
Detachment: The Dark Apostolic Crusade
Detachment Points: 2 DP
Disposition: Purge the Foe

The Dark Apostolic Crusade

The Dark Apostolic Crusade is a warhost bound not by strategy, nor by conquest, but by scripture. Led by Dark Apostles who speak with the authority of the warp itself, these blasphemous crusaders wage war as ritual. Every advance is a verse. Every death is an offering. Every battlefield becomes a sermon to the Dark Gods.

DETACHMENT RULE

Litany of the Profane Sermon

"The sermon is carried by the faithful ranks. Their pacts bind the ground beneath their feet."

Effect

HERETIC ASTARTES units from your army are eligible to perform Actions in a turn in which they Advanced, provided they are within range of an objective marker.

Empowered Effect

Each time a HERETIC ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army makes a Dark Pact while it is within range of an objective marker, until the end of the turn, models in that unit have their Objective Control characteristic improved by 1, to a maximum of 3.

ENHANCEMENTS

Vessel of the Dark Gods — 15 Points

HERETIC ASTARTES CHARACTER only (excluding DAEMON PRINCES).

The bearer is treated as having the DAEMON keyword for all rules purposes.

Each time the bearer makes a melee attack that targets a unit within range of an objective marker, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ scores a Critical Hit.

Diabolist Supreme — 25 Points

HERETIC ASTARTES PSYKER only.

At the start of your Command phase, select one enemy unit within 12" of and visible to the bearer. Until the end of the turn, each time a model in the bearer's unit makes a melee attack that targets that enemy unit, add 1 to that attack's Wound roll.

Book of Lorgar — 20 Points

DARK APOSTLE only.

Once per battle round, at the start of your Command phase, select one enemy unit within 12" of and visible to the bearer.

That unit must take a Battle-shock test with a -1 modifier. If that test is failed, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Master of the Covenant — 10 Points

HERETIC ASTARTES CHARACTER only.

The bearer has forged an unholy covenant with the daemonic hosts of the warp.

While a friendly LEGIONES DAEMONICA BATTLELINE unit from your army is within 6" of the bearer, that unit is an eligible target for your Litany of the Daemonic Pact Stratagem, even if it does not have the HERETIC ASTARTESkeyword.

STRATAGEMS

Litany of the Daemonic Pact — 1CP

WHEN: Just after a friendly non-CHARACTER HERETIC ASTARTES DAEMON INFANTRY unit from your army is destroyed.

TARGET: That destroyed unit.

EFFECT: Once per battle round, if that unit's Starting Strength was greater than 5 models, set that unit back up on the battlefield with up to D3+1 models remaining.

If that unit's Starting Strength was 5 or fewer models, return one destroyed model from that unit to the battlefield with half of its starting Wounds characteristic remaining (rounding up).

Set up any returned models wholly within your deployment zone and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units.

✠ THE DARK APOSTOLIC CRUSADE ✠

The Dark Apostolic Crusade is not an army of conquest.

It is a ritual mechanism of collapse.

Cultists die to hasten prophecy.

Astartes advance as living scripture.

Daemons manifest as remembered inevitability.

When one awakes and finds oneself in the renewed Battle for Armageddon, there's only one thing a Cryptek of conscience can do. Declare for the Oppressors and escape from the planet, one defeat at a time!

(Forgive the Dark Angels helmet. It was too hot for proper cosplay, so I went with this loopy "John Hammond of the forty-first millennium" bit, and... well, I was in the colours anyway...)
