Sorry for blogposting.
Did my first game since early 8th ed, my 1000pts Black Templars Wrathful Procession detachment vs Dark Angels.
Here is what I learned:
>Wrathful Procession +2 movement chant is a blessing
Having marines move on 8 is insane. I havent seen the new rules, but I hope we have something similar for my footslogging melee Templars.
>Sword Brethren SLAPS
I hope the new changes wont nerf them as much, but their W3 and power weapons attacks are just tasty. I didn't expect them to tank that many shots and once they hit mellee they just ruined whatever they reached. They can't take a punch from whatever survived (6 men bladeguards) though.
>Brute Fervour stratagem is the bane of Dark Angels
Their -1 to wound thing doesnt do much when for 1cp you ignore modifers to hit and wound in melee. Too bad I only remembered this stratagem in round 3.
>Shooting is actually good.
I barely have any shooting, and I had my whole crusader squad wiped out turn 1 by eliminators, hellblasters and heavy intercessors focus firing them. I underestimated the shooting phase.
>Chaplain on bike is a force multiplier
He not only deals a lot of damage but the ourtiders are a menace with him around.
>Terminators and terminator captain are pillow fisted garbage.
Goddamn do they deal no damage at all. Like none. What happened to power fists? Once upon a time it makes anything it touches explode. Now it cant even dent a heavy intercessor. I swear they might as well be pillow fists. The captain's relic blade is no better.
>The Emperor's Champion is the GOAT
This guy almost solod a redemptor dreadnought, killed a bladesguard vet with just a look and almost took out a jump pack captain.
>I hate plasma.
Really I do.
Also here's a question. How does Precision work? Lets say my chaplain grants his outrider squad Precion against a Judiciar in Bladesguard squad. Once the chaplain killed the judiciar by himself, cant the outriders hit the bladesguard? Even if none of them rolled yet?
