r/40k_Crusade

I'm thinking on starting a crusade, probably Pariah Nexus, though the group plays on 11th, and as you know, there are not really any crusade rules for 11th, so I'm thinking on just saying: f it, and do 11th edition with 10th crusade rules.

Any tips on that regard? Some rules that need specific changes that you've encountered? Or is it fine as is?

Also, what's the opinion on a single person running multiple crusade forces?

EDIT: Forgot to say that this is the first crusade I'll play, and the first crusade I'll run, so I'm also curious on how much lore are you supposed to be into, as I'm fairly new-ish to the lore itself.

For me it looks like they abandoned the idea after announcing it. It im just too blind to find anything useful. Is there anyone who currently runs and uses Crucible of Champions? Im curious how much popular it is?

Hello! I'm in a group that's organizing a Pariah Nexus crusade using 11th edition rules and I was wondering if I could have some feedback regarding my list? This is my first time playing Imperial Agents.

THE PITCH

Bordering the Eye of Terror, in the wake of the 13th Black Crusade, the Vermillion Sector hangs by a thread.

Forgeworld Volantis, critical producer of Baneblades, Leman Russes, and Chimeras, is under siege by daemonic incursion. The nearby Hive World Carnia burns with cult uprisings: Chaos, Corpsegrinder, and Genestealer alike. Orks are converging on Volantis for a "propa fight." The Star Children approach from the void. And something ancient stirs beneath the surface.

This is a living, narrative-driven sandbox. Your battles shape the sector. Your units earn scars, legends, and grudges. Alliances shift. Heroes rise – and fall.

Imperium:

·Guard, Space Marines, Sisters, Agents, Grey Knights, AdMech, Imperial Knights

Genestealer Cults, Orks, Necrons, Tyranids (Phase 2 onward – GSC players can ascend to Tyranids, XP transfers over)

RULES & RESOURCES
· Tracking: Administratum (companion app)
· Missions are homebrewed by the GM depending on narrative.

INTERESTED?
DM me with:

· Your preferred faction(s)
· Years of 40K experience
· What kind of story you're hoping to tell

The sector burns. Pick a side. Forge your legends.

When one awakes and finds oneself in the renewed Battle for Armageddon, there's only one thing a Cryptek of conscience can do. Declare for the Oppressors and escape from the planet, one defeat at a time!

(Forgive the Dark Angels helmet. It was too hot for proper cosplay, so I went with this loopy "John Hammond of the forty-first millennium" bit, and... well, I was in the colours anyway...)

Hey all, I fused a simplified version of the 500 Worlds Campaign, the Narrative 11th Edition Mission Deck, and the 10th Edition Codex Crusade Rules into 1 system, and am calling it "The Endless War" Crusade; let me know if you want the player handbook I made!

In any case, I'm trying to start a perpetual Narrative Crusade with people in my area, but most WH40K players that I find seem resigned to the "tournament with a loose narrative tie-in" direction GW is taking Crusade, but I know there are people who like Narratively rich, casual gaming... you're all here!

The issue is, I can't find any of you in my area! I know many hardcore Crusade players / Narrative players stick with close friend groups, but I'm hoping to find others who like Crusade as much as I/we all do.

At risk of doxxing myself I'm just going ask: 1. How do you find players that pref Narrative/Crusade over comp play? 2. Dm me >!if you live in the Eastern Ontario, Canada (that's all I'll say on a public reddit post haha)!<and maybe I'll be able to find some cool players that I didn't know were Crusading in my area!

Some context:

My partner and I are interested in starting a crusade game, we've both been playing for about 2 ish months now. He'd like it to be just the two of us (at least for this first crusade, as long as we play it), though in the future we might find a playgroup of people to play it in.

We've decided on Pariah Nexus as I've read that it is the simplest one to get into, but what I would like to know primarily is the title^ (along with anything else worth sharing!) or any ways to make crusade easier to play without explicitly homebrewing.

Cheers and thanks!

This is still in the idea phase but the vision is to create a massive narrative campaign across a star system in the WH40k/HH universe. Players would enter the system with their BFG ship with paper army lists embarked. They would be able to engage each other in BFG and deploy assets onto the planet surface around key points (PE) and then fight it out in those key areas at an epic/legions and HH/40k 28mm scale.

You are Bran Redmaw, leading the Bloodmaws to defend the Fenris System which is under siege. You are Mordokh/Typhus, plundering and spreading plague throughout that entire system. You are a Warboss, a Farseer, the Hive Mind…

In order to keep things on course there would need to be a Dungeon Master equivalent. This could take many forms, a Tyranid hive fleet invasion under command of the DM could serve as a backdrop for the whole campaign, with Tyranid attacks flaring up to balance out the skirmishes between players, or when otherwise necessary to keep things moving along. Or players could unite against the DM—Tyranid/Ork/Chaos hoards—it would all be highly dependent and tailored to the models each players has available. The DM would be instrumental in whittling down numbers so that the later stage 2k and 3k point games work.

Legions obviously doesn’t crossover to 40K but as BFG and Planetary Empires are OOP the idea would be to fill up the gaps with 3D printing.

It’s a massive undertaking so just thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone has contemplated this or—Emperor willing—have done this before that I could use as a launch point.

Disclaimer/Clarity: I’m not reinventing the rules, the existing rules/edition would govern their individual sectors of play. What I’m most concerned with is rules for how those systems interact (how many turns to deploy assets on a planet from BFG to PE, can a ship use surface orbital strikes, points conversions across the systems, etc.). This is huge, something that a core group of close players would engage in over months—time and model costs even with printing are significant, I’m aware of all of that.

Appreciate any thoughts

Hey, hope I'm okay to post here.

I wanted to share a tool I made for me and my mates. We really like having a narrative for our mini tournaments and battles, and when AI turned up, we all started using that. It worked fine until we wanted to use lists and previous battle results. It would get so much wrong and ignore so much of what was asked for, and seemed to always stick in a Land Raider (dunno why ChatGPT loves these so much). 

So I built us a website that does it better (so far). You give it the factions, score, what died, who your MVP was, and it generates consistent narrative across the campaign. It reads the thing out loud too, which I threw in cause I thought it would be cool, and it was

Let me know what you think; no account needed to see the demo rounds: https://www.lorewarden.co.uk/demo. It's AI-generated content, obviously; that's the whole premise. My mates reckoned the wider gaming community would like it as much as they did, so here I am sharing it. Obviously, can't have any brand-affiliated presets in there, but it works well for 40k.

Has anyone tried Dominatus with an Order of Battle? I know there's no Supply Points, etc. for it, but changing up the Crusade Army for matchups was great in Crusade games.

Had a couple people drop out of our ceusade game. Looking for 2 to fill in. Still in the first phase. DM me if intrested.

I am building a Quastor Forgepact for an upcoming crusade. Are there rules against including other Imperium forces. As a long time Space Wolves fan I was thinking of slowly adding them to my roster as we battle over a war torn world. Is that allowed or no?
