Just mentioning this now, I have officially had a neg test as of this morning. Last night I was positive so I am unsure if I should take this as safe. I will retest myself this afternoon and if I am still negative I am wanting to come out. If you all are unsure and wanted me to wait longer I completely understand and accept that. Again only one neg test out of two. So again if the test this afternoon is negative I am wondering if people are ok with me coming out still.

I appreciate the offer of help all. All I ask is that my army is still there where I left it. I wouldn't leave it there this long if not for the type of sickness. So if my army is still safe and sound that is all I ask. 

Just dropping this here. Finally havent had a fever in 24 hours, barely got to 98.7 today, and that is higher for me but it shows im getting over it. I doubt I could make it to this game as I will no doubt be contagious still. I wish you all luck in the crusade and hope to join soon 🙂

Hahaha lame but yeah. [big bad swear word]ed up I'm already past the worse it seems. Fever broke around 2am and I finally slept more than two hours. Also body ache is low. Just gotta let the [big bad swear word] pass as I am still gonna read positive until next week minimum.

Sorry I can't be there guys. Turns out five of us tested positive after the tournament so I'll be on lockdown at home. Fight on well crusaders!

I hope it's just a bug. Currently at 102.9 and the va said I need to get down there and they won't send a car lol.[big bad swear word]ing idiots. Either way I'll send up an emergency flag if needed. Currently trying to break the fever so I don't have to leave my pups alone

I will be there to get the "official restart" of the Crusade on the way.

Here is a link to the nitty gritty house rules and such: https://www.ordofanaticus.com/topic/217073-40k-crusade-the-unofficial-thursday-night-crusade-starting-september-22nd/page/3/#comment-2457738

Also feel free to post a brief (or not so brief) outline of your army (who you are running and a quick reason for being there) on the main crusade thread

This is completely optional but fun narrative kinda stuff for those who want it.

Here is the thesis of my force:

“Of Fetid Tongue”

Chaos Space Marines (Creations of Bile) & Chaos Daemons (Nurgle)

Bile has made a deal with the putrid Prince of Nurgle, Gorbulix, The Grand Tender of Grandfather’s garden. What foul rewards Bile hopes to gain from the maggot kin is known only to him but he has sent a small force of his most dependable marines, The Scourged, to assist the daemons in befouling the planet and summoning an “Exalted One” from his prison deep within the planet.

Idk what the [big bad swear word] happened but I'm at home with 102 temp. Might not make it to Thursday. It's not the vid but I get these wierd bugs every few years. I'll be at high temp for a day or two and then good to go. If I am I will update. If not I'm sorry but I don't wanna risk others getting sick if I am.

A crusade has begun! All the crusaders coming to this, I know I'll be there by 430 no later. Got the speedy orks building their WAAAAGHH!!!! Hope to see you all for the kumpin!

Power level is bad for anyone who wants to add models to a stock unit.  Good thing we're playing points.  Hope you brought extra red paint.

Wez the booterz! Wez don't need speed wez needs dakka!!!!!!

It was not that I was forced to use anything sir. It was pointing out that 90 boyz equals 720 points, but in pl it is 45. So on a 50power level game that means the warboss would fill the pl or it would take 130 points and I would have 100 more to at least put in a truck.  Just trying say points is way more balanced unless we are trying to put in a competitive list. I am not bringing a competitve team. I am bringing the team that my lore of the crusade dictates which is a small group of vehicles with one troop slot filled at most. Which would mean I am doing an outrider detachement and as the points go up i will add another outrider detachement as a speed waagh is meant to be bikers instead of boyz.

So all that said I will again say, thank you to salty for allowing us to use points to make it more even.

Just a side note on the very sheet you sent me it even says, 3 warbikes equal 4 pl, 4 warbikes 8 pl. See my point? Three war bikes 9 wounds total and no save on any shot with ap. It really again makes my guys weaker than weak because as we know orks are good only because they can bring a horde to any fight. If you want that changed then again I say, ok I'll be the weak army everyone can lock a win on, not to mention our other ork michael will be unable to every field his kill rig below 50pl as it is 11pl by itself but costs 190 points. It is that to me orks are very unbalanced in pl

Just FYI, PL for boyz is actually 15 for 30. Although I'm not sure I understand why you would be stuck with 90 boyz? You only need one troops for patrol. I'm sure you could fill out 1000pt or 50PL inside of that detachment.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/wRzHkacP0NPxYL3d.pdf

Ok if it is 15 for 30, 15 x3, 90 boys 45 pl. Warboss is 5pl. So that is my point. If we are going to to be real just realize I am talking about a 500 point army, which would make it 25pl. So then for the 500 I have at max, one 30 man blob, one truck, one warboss. with 500 points, I can bring two vehicles including my war boss, some bikes and a jet. That is better for fairness as I am a speed waaaagh so bringing infantry blobs is pointless. 
 

Either way the point is I am either [big bad swear word]ed going a speed waagh with the pl or I am up with the average army at 500 points. My point of it all was the pl for orks really saps them on just general numbers. As you said you cant see why i am stuck with 90, but again 3x15 is 45, pl limit of 50 means i have 5 points to spare. Which my warboss costs 6pl at base and one upgrade pushes him to 7pl. That is the point. If i want to even have a chance at 500 point games i need to go off points. If i want to go 1000 points but at the 50pl I will be the smallest horde army you have ever seen and one kill rig/decent tank/a small squad of terminators will wipe me out without a problem in turn one. So I can bring bringing up vehicles. again each small 85 point vehicle is at least 5 and up for one. So if we range that out, that is 10 vehicles and no warboss, also the vehicles will be forced into the smallest detachment possible to keep the pl down. 

Now if you prefer me to be the ork squad everyone can beat up on to get levels, fine, but if you want it fair that is my arguement.

On a side note I wanted to mention I [big bad swear word]ed around with power level checking. Thank you for agreeing to the switch to points again. One 30 man mob of boyz...12 power. So basically I would be stuck to 90 boyz and one warboss without any additions  if I wanted to hit the 50 mark.

Anyone wanna play some MCP, killteam or 40k up to 3k points?

Hey boss! Der some umie callin us scum....

Boss's response

Bah! It one of dem tall umies no worries.....get the gitz. This boss need a new skull for me trike!!!

Hence the reason I posted the info. I have zero experience with knights with any edition. I don't know how they play in 9th. I know at the 500pt level, I basically will have 3 small guys as that will be my only chance to contest and take objectives. If people think knights don't work in crusade, then I can go with a different army.

This is just me talking but I will say your knights will have a tough time at a 3 count. No matter what list they are against. I know from my experience, which is limited, in 9th edition is that knights are kinda the whipping boyz of the factions. They get beat down pretty easy because of the lack of units to spread the wounds around with. So I doubt anyone will build a meta to specifically counter them as Games workshops seems to have done that on its own. I will say no big deal for the knights on my vote, but you might shoot yourself in the foot with such a small force. Either way that is the point in the end. Its about fun who cares if you lose type of things. I mean my speed waagh is a vehicle waagh with only four vehicles and a warboss lol

added my fluff to the main topic for the crusade, not sure if I got all that was need but there ya go.

Added my fluff so to speak to the main topic, I am not sure if I got everything that was needed, but I think its a good rp start 🙂

I guess I will throw up the background of the second greenskins we got. 

Force name: Speed 'n' dakka krumpin'
 

Speed waaagh!  Orks of the freebooterz clan. 

The speedwaagh was created long ago by the infamous Zagboss Skargrim Ruknar while helping the mighty Ghaz. After it inspired a lowly ork warboss of a small Freebooterz group from the badmoons clans. Following in the footsteps of the mighty Zagboss, this lowly ork named "Volum' Dakka" took the meaning of both Dakka and speed literally. He began with hit and run tactics with loads of Dakka weapons for cover, very un orky like to his brothers, and would hit small groups of Imperial for loot before vanishing into nothing again. The small size of his speed Waaagh gives him the advantage of moving in and out of battle without much being found of where they came from or who they were. Though rumors in the ORKS of a Freebooter at the level of Kaptain Badrukk is on the rise. Some rumors even pass that Kaptain Badrukk is searching for the small speed waaagh to join the Jolly Roger. 

Only time will tell but currently Volum' Dakka is roaming the edges of Imperial space looking for loot and a small kumpin while he grows his Waaagh. Riding into battle on the infamous wartrike Dakka is known for his typical orky rage and rush in tactics, but here he differs is he will pull back from the battle once the specific "Loot" they were after had been taken. Using said loot to attract as many wandering orks to his cause as he can. His dreams of having the shinest of wartrikes only are furthered with every badmoonz who leaves the klan to join his Freebooters, bringing with them an abundance of teef for the spending and upgrading his small group of vehicles. He only hopes to some day taking on Ghaz or Zagboss himself for the title of the ultimate waaagh! 

Well that is the basics currently on the warboss from my group now known as Volum' Dakka. Yes if it isnt obviously I wanted to do a play on accuracy by volume. So I decided this was good enough lol. I will say that at 500 points, this is one SMALL speed waagh lol, but the boyz are ready!!!!

Hey y’all, I’m new to the Portland war game scene but I’d love to play some killteam (don’t have enough units for a full 40k game yet) - any chance I could find a match at this session? Or is it just a crusade event? I wouldn’t be able to get there until around 5.

Absolutely come down bro imma be trying to kick trooper with the kommandos. But I'll be done with kill team by 5ish so I'm sure he might want a redo after being stomped lol

Crusade picked up the filthy admech?! Small Umies to krump!!!!!

Also since everyone seems to be arriving around 5, as in we will have everyone involved there by that time, I will be playing some killteam at 4 with trooper. So I may be a little laggy into the beginning but I am good and quick at learning as you all know and we got until 9 so fck it right lol. Anyways I will have the freebooterz pirate crew minus the kaptain badrukk. I will have a warboss in big mek armor as a stand in for him until he arrives and is painted for next weeks meet up.

I got some new models and ready for games up to 2000 points.

@Salty Monkey The crusade is happening? Count me in, what are the details? I can do my best to be there around 5pm Thursday.

Damn! I would love to do an ork on ork krumpin with our new 2k lists! No worries though next time the krumpin will be real!

Also basically set a 1000 point list for the crusade, crusade is basically d&d with 40k games as the battle portions lol.

Sorry but this boy is an orky boy lol. No umie scum for me!

So me and zcaust are gonna be there around 730 but I am thinking I will still show up around 630-7 if that is alright as I have a few things I wanted to do before hand. @WeavIf no one else is showing will the door still be open around 630-7? Zcaust already said he would lock up so I am just making sure showing up around that time is good.
