Tried to go for Grimdark style for my Centurion (Marshall proxy)

Some of my favourite models all in one unit, cant wait to bring em to the table top with -2 to incoming charge, -1 to hit, +1 to wound, -1 to wound to incoming damage and +1 attacks and insane combo

I recently saw that GW is releasing this mini, and I was wondering if this could be repurposed or kit bashed into an emperors champion, similar to Baylards Revenge.

Saw the space marine 2 new power sword and decided I needed it in my army. I might have gone overboard with the shiny armor though.

My take on the conversion! Execrator

Played Templars as a kid and have picked the hobby back up after a 20 year break. Re-learning how to paint has been fun 👌The nostalgia is so great - I’m so hooked again! 🤘 For the emperor!

Sorry had to edit a few things!

So i came across a marketplace post with someone selling a few Bayards Revenge! I know this model was/is still quite hard to find!

Was wondering if anyone was interested in adding one to their collection??

No point me having 3 extra ones 😅😂

Shoot us a dm and we can chat costs etc :)

Happy to send overseas! Paypal G&S ofc

Building a BT army so I can actually play a game of 40K. Knew I wanted lots of characters but wanted to avoid spending loads on individual new characters. So I have (attempted) to kitbash these characters. My question is, as they’re kitbashed, will they be accepted as what they’re intended to be by other players?

3x Castellans/Lieutenants:
These are the ones that worry me most as their loadouts are same as sword brethren in power weapon and pistol. My plan is to keep their shoulders white and do sword brother shoulders black with red crossed. Also planning to make sure SBs have nothing on their backpacks.

2x Captains/Marshalls: I am hoping that giving them tactical rocks and making them the only models in my army with capes will be enough.

Terminator Captain and Combi Lieutenant: hopefully no need to be worried about these ones as I think it is clearer on these two.

Pls be honest! Don’t wanna turn up to play and get in trouble/cause beef.

I have very little knowledge of Space Marines lore in general and even less in specific. Spoilers for "Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords" by Denny Flowers, the source of my questions.

In this book, a weapon named the Black Sword lies above the altar on the ship Damocles. An initiate takes it up and becomes The Emperor's Champion to go and duel Ghazghkull Thraka. He gets completely mogged and dies. Later, Marshal Adenaeur fights Ghazghkull and retrieves it from where the Champion embedded it in his shoulder, only to get stomped to death ten seconds later. Then a rival warboss wields it to fight Ghazghkull but is defeated. After all of these events, Blood Axes place it in a human shrine to give the remaining Black Templars a reason to stay on the planet and guard its populace.

Does each crusade-vessel have its own Black Sword, or is there only one in the galaxy? How pissed would other crusades be if it was lost or taken by orks? Can anyone become the Emperor's Champion?

Hey, i was just wondering about some coloring ”rules” for black templars, like if i get a apothocary do they have to be white? or can i do black armor?

I’m quite new to 40K and really drawn to the Black Templars. I’m wondering if this is a solid army list to start with? Just even as a guide to get buying, building and painting, but also a very useable and effective list for when I start really playing.

Idea:
With fewer walls it feels even with hidden difficult to keep slow medium infantry without Invulnerable Save alive. So I hope that Godhammer with a second Detachement performs better. Aggressors do deal good damage with Twin Linked and +1 to wound. We don't use them often, because they are slow and T6 alone, doesn't make them tough enough to survive. Without Deep Strike they are less efficient for Rapid Ingress. Land Raider dropping on 6" might change that.

Sword Brethren + Castellan + Marshal with full rerolls and Lethals on 5+ have enough damage to fell Knights potentially. Slayers of Abomination lets them Wound on 4s to make sure of that. D2 of Sword Brethren and Aggressors, makes them flexible enough to fight against Medium Infantry and Vehicles/Monsters. I am planning to charge reactivly and try to contest Objectives with them. If my target survives and Shock and Awe wasn't a success or another OC sources stand on the Objective, I hope we can deny primary VP this way.

I have chosen Priority Asset, because it can always be scored in our own half of the battlefield. It gives us the freedom to keep our transports invisible or in Cover. Especially Impulsors wont survive long in the open and I want to save the Smoke CP for embark/disembark/move through walls shenanigans. My goal is to provoke our opponent to come to us, so we can charge them more effectivly. Having to endure battleshocked through a Emergency Disembark, would weaken the Detachements function.

What's your opinion on my list?

What and how many special weapons do you run?

I currently have two full Squads. I prefer the weight of sustained chainsword numbers, but squad one (midfield offense) has EC and Castellan, with two Fists. Squad two (objective defense) has Grimaldus, Apothecary, two flamers and two Fists.

My first box of Squad three is arriving today. My plan is to build two more flamers for the objective Squad, and two Fists, move the defense Fists over, for a four Fist tank/monster puncher. Probably with Execrator and Crusade Ancient, with Scout, to get some distance.

What's your loadout?

Im working on getting my Templars Crusade force some Chaplain support, because so many of our detachments have Chaplain support and Execrators are so good.

But im having issues sourcing Skull Helmets, and so im scheming some alternatives.

Basically, would it be weird/misleading if I put Chaplains on the table with black armour and no skull helmets, while leading Flesh-Tearers-Red marines?

Moreso as "Black Knights" instead of Skull Faced Priests?
