Dark Trainer Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I 'really' need to get back to throwing dice. This seems like a good way to get my first 40k game in 2 years (haven't even played the new edition yet). Heck, not even sure I can make a 500pt Necron force, not knowing what they all do yet. Is battlescribe still viable, or what online army builder works well? I have the codex, just hate paper/pencil. But, tomorrow, eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, tomorrow, eh? battle scribe works with necrons, crusade is a bit different but if you make a 500pt list it you can get the hang of it and make the rest of your force after you get a feel for it I have the new Necron codex if you want it...brand new & still smells like victory. I can bring it in next week and it's yours if you want it ...this is not a bribe just a temptation 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally haven't looked at anything GW in a while. I 'own' the newest Necron codex, but still has plastic wrap on it, ever even read it yet. 🥴 I would be needing some SERIOUS hand holding back into the fold. Assuming folks are up for that.

kb10r Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Salty Monkey said: your force does not start with any relics or WLT. but you can purchase these at the building phase. each force starts with 5 RP it costs 1 RP to give a character a Relic or WLT example: I start Gimpy the Warboss with a Warlord trait & a relic his starting force RP will be reduced to 3 RP (minus 1 for each ) other upgrades depend on description in the the section in the rule book that discuses spending RP. Some allow you to start with them but others can only be obtained after the unit has leveled up'd I hope this helps Ah... cool. I thought you gained 1 RP per game and started with 0. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Monkey Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Some Fluffy recap or Thursday's beginning Crusade. Anyone involved can add what they like to help the narrative along 🙂 --------- The sound of battle rang loud. on a small bluff some distance away a small, bug-eyed gretchen watched and reported his findings to Da Boss with his weird radio ting... "Heyya Boss, Big Eye Tik letting ya know watz wat!" I followed that Goff git like you said and he is a toofless *&#@ if I ever saw one. He ran into some hummies, ya know da skinky kind we ran into a bit back. Now one was a big hummie, had flappies and such and dat boy stunk! I could smell his rank a$$ from here. Boy o boy, dey nokked that teef out of ol' Gergie boy and his krew...I no tink they be commin back from dat one. I were to come back but another groop of humies showed up...lit'l ones, just bigger den me I suppose. They fought with the stinky ones too...seems everyone is up for some krumpin here. best send down soom ladz and see whats what i rekkin...Tik out" -------- The @Salty Monkey's Goffs fought and lost to a mean batch of @ImperialTrooper's Death Guard and it was a fun game but the Orks will have to regroup if they hope to stand agianst them again. @Treads-n-Wings's Gurard (that's right, they will always be The Guard 😉 ) came to a similar fate against @ImperialTrooper's Death Guard. The Cadian's fought well and the Commander took a champions charge at the Deamon Prince...he died but it was glorious. I bet there will be some armor next time with the Cadians, bring some righteous vengance(and some big guns) against that stinky lot for sure 🙂 till next week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Monkey Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 A little flavor for Thursday's Crusade. Anyone involved is welcome...nay encuraged to add their own fluffy goodness. I am not very good at it but here...ahem.."ER WE GO!" The sun was blazing as Captain Gressmer wached his subordinates clean his uniform for a third time. “ I don’t think the stink will ever come out…” he muttered out loud as a commss officer rushed in “Sir, there’s a disturbance, 3 clicks south!” he said out of breath “you…you have to see it! Its difficult to explain” “Get my chimera” The captain snapped “Sir there is no need you can see it just outside” Captain was led outside, looked up an saw a giant…Bubble? The size of a small town growing to the south. “What the *#%*” as he was interrupted by a cacophony of sound as the bubble popped. Music from where who knows... ***Some background music if you want but it is immature, crass and probably a bit offensive...but clean (I think) be warned 😉 *** …meanwhile, just out of the atmosphere… "MOJO! We hit fire line and breachin’, should be at Tik’z campt in minutes…he has already issued the mind oup noise to indimatate dem humies…That'll get em worked up!" A mucked up grot in goggles screams as the ‘land’n kraff’ breached the atmosphere. …. Even the Death Guard looked up from…whatever horrible nonsense death guard do in their down time. As the exceptionally loud music is accompanied by what looks like several imperial cargo containers chained together, with wings maybe.?. Comes screaming full tilt from the atmosphere. Seemingly out of control it crashed loudly in a desert valley. Just where the giant bubble seemed to originate. “What hell is this now?” Captain Gressmer explained. A young soldier in a look-out tower yells down, “ORKS!!!” Captain looked at the feted scar on his arm from his last battle. “Get your gear boys, we have work to do.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tao Tsê-Mung Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) FYI if you haven’t joined the crusade yet, this Saturday 8/28 or Thursday 9/2 are still great days to get a few games in. By popular vote we’re keeping the games at 500pt combat patrol missions for one more week - through Thursday 9/2. We have a couple folks still building new armies and at 500pts it’s easy to get two or three games in one night. We’ll move to 750pt games and 1250pt Order of Battle Supply Limit on Thursday 9/9. I’ve updated the mission dates to reflect this. Edited August 27, 2021 by Tao Tsê-Mung 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tao Tsê-Mung Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Loving this crusade and just wanted to share this with folks - don’t buy the GW crusade journal! Evidently a 1/3 of the pages are useless because of a printing error but GW is selling the misprints as the product instead of reprinting to the intended design: https://casualhammerer.com/2020/07/27/warhammer-40000-crusade-journal-review/ I’ve already linked the pdf and google doc versions in the announcement post as well.

And at this point it seems as likely to me as any other theory as to why GW is how it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Monkey Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Redo on crusade fluff. "Skirmishes have been breaking out all over Kizmiaz. Death Guard and Necrons fighting in the north Valley. Orks running about fighting anything in their path and yesterday Thousand Sons ambushed us.” Castellan Crowe calmly reported to his assigned Astropath. “The Warp disturbance here seems to be real and it seems very much to be the unspoken enemy’s. Now it is a pity that some or the Emperor's loyal troops are hear as well…it troubles me to have to cull the faithful in order to keep the madness of Chaos at bay. But it will have to be done.” “We will begin to work our way to the abandoned city. The surge seems to be strongest there. I will report more soon” ... “Send that to Titan right away” Crowe told the pale, gaunt man before him. “I fear this expedition has just begun” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treads-n-Wings Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 How are we going to expand our lists and still be battle-forged? Going from 500 to 750 points isn't enough to create a new detachment (for most armies), but the patrol detachment I'm using is almost out of room for units. Obviously I don't want to lost the experience and honors my units already have. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted September 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 So @Salty Monkey correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I understand it the Order of Battle is independent of the detachment(s) you bring to any specific game. So you can reorganize the detachment(s) brought to each battle as long as the units are all drawn from your Order of Battle. The requisition points are for modifying/swapping units out from your Order of Battle permanently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detachment's are not locked in 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
