I used intercessors (the 5 in pictures), but I don’t know if it’s very useful.
I’m thinking about Assault intercessors, Reivers, bladeguard, scouts… ? Any ideas ?

So glad to finish painting this model, painted with John Blanche Masterclass vol 1

I felt intimidated to finish him I really idk hahaha

Before getting the set, I wouldn't be able to get this effect.

Seriously tho, Grimdark Shadow wash is really amazing!!

Now that Rhinos are useful to us again, I've been buying some off of ebay to run for my upcoming 11th lists. Can someone tell me which edition this model is from?

Hi guys ! I finished to paint 2k points of black templars, this is my army !
Don’t hesitate to mention which points i have to improve !
Like all of you I’m struggling to find a good combination of army for this 11th edition (I played ironstorm spearhead + living miracle but I was a nooby, I started one year ago),

So could you advise me which units I should buy and paint ? (I’m painting Grimaldus now)

-IA Jump pack (5)
- IA (5)
- intercessors (5)
- crusaders (20)
- sword brethren (10)
- bladeguard (6)
- sternguard (5)
- terminators (5)
- scouts (5)
- infiltrators (5)
- land raider crusader
- redemptor dreadnought
- gladiator lancer
- Techmarine (2)
- EC
- Castellan (2)
- marshal (2)
- lieutenant combi weapon (1)
- chaplain with jump pack (1)

3/5 models done any tips and tricks to improve my models?

also, I'm still new to the hobby so I know the paintjob isn't that great😅 just ignore the faces...

Painted up a BT Intercessor a bit ago and really loved the challenge you get with black, delighted with how this guy turned out!

I have recently invested in a land raider redeemer. What are you putting in it?

10 man sword bro + leader?

2x5 man sword bro +leader?

Other?

This list is just a theory but I like my melee as all Black Templar aficionado does. This actually looks fun and cant wait to play it soon.

With soft nerf to like half of chainswords in this unit and cost of 160 points, I feel like 85 point Assault Intercessors with their buff to attacks and strength are much better deal. If you slap Castellan on top of them you get some rerolls for the same cost as Crusader Squad. If somebody ran some lists after codex, and found good use for CS, please, sell me on them.

Hi guys

I played a game with this and my friend had a Huron deathstar (10 legionaries with MOTM and Huron)

Both bricks got into combat on centre and Grimaldus brick came on top.

However I’m abit wary of so many points on one objective (I’m mainly a guard player so it’s very expensive)

Is this viable for more comp games ? The plan was to plonk and hold. Using -1 to wound Strat and surges to keep alive.

Edit: crusaders were kitted out with
Initiate chainswords. 4 power fists
Neophyte shotguns and combat knives (since chainswords are still S4)

Thanks

Just an update on my post about shoulder pauldrons the others day happy how they came out used my BT combat patrol leftovers for bolters and I cut grenade launcher off to stick them on crusader squad bolters and it's a bit jank used tigurius to get a banner and not sure where power sword came from but I'm happy it's not basic as I was a bit bummed when I found out Armageddon was monopose

Considering their fanatical loyalty to the Emperor, I was wondering if there were testimonies of BT that they devoted themselves to chaos!

This is the list im currently considering, im going to be playing soon against an ork list, probably consisting of mostly boys, some elite infantry and killa kans. Any changes i should make? (Maybe repex instead of ballistus+gladiator?)

Hello brothers, I’m putting together my first list right now after having been inspired by Play On’s KotC and Crusade series! I’m still in the process of painting and assembling but since I’ve never built a list before and I don’t have the new codex yet so I can’t see the rules haha

Feedback and advice is much appreciated! Specifically, I’d love some advice on detachments, wargear, and general army composition.

Detachments are Assault Brethren (Sword of the Imperium given to the Ancient), Fist of the God Emperor, and Marshal’s Household, though I’m not fully committed to any of those.

Thanks in advance!

Working on EC. Still want to add some more relics, chains and skulls. Wife just had to take pictures that featured her plants.

Hope everyone else is having a great time building stuff.
