My First Crusader!

Painted up a BT Intercessor a bit ago and really loved the challenge you get with black, delighted with how this guy turned out!

What would you use to protect your home-based objective?

I used intercessors (the 5 in pictures), but I don’t know if it’s very useful.
I’m thinking about Assault intercessors, Reivers, bladeguard, scouts… ? Any ideas ?

Which Rhino is this?

Now that Rhinos are useful to us again, I've been buying some off of ebay to run for my upcoming 11th lists. Can someone tell me which edition this model is from?

Castellan

So glad to finish painting this model, painted with John Blanche Masterclass vol 1

I felt intimidated to finish him I really idk hahaha

Before getting the set, I wouldn't be able to get this effect.

Seriously tho, Grimdark Shadow wash is really amazing!!

Interesting grim dark BT paint job by ‏TheFeralPainter

As a paint-by-the-codex noob, I was blown away by this ngl. I didn’t even know half the paints/brands he was talking about lol.

Options to deal with Sanguinary Guard?

Long story short basically my entire army just got shanked by two squads of Sanguinary Guard.

  1. One squad charged my Helbrecht w/ 6 BGV and BGA (on an objective) and just wiped them, period. For the record, I charged this same squad with a full strength crusader squad w/ Chaplain the turn prior, popped the lethal hit strat, and managed to kill one (1) of them. Rolls were average in both combats.

  2. Another squad absorbed a bike squad with chappy shooting (with their dev wounds) and a charge (chappy had imperium sword), that whole thing killed two guard and took some wounds off their jump captain. This sub strength squad then charged another full strength Crusader Squad w/ Judiciar, I heroic intervened with my EC w/ AIs, and across the next two combats two Sanguinary Guard flew off into the sunset and my crusder squad and EC and AI were all dead.

Minus one to wound and minus one to hit plus room for strats in combat - genuinely no clue how to work around it, happy for any advice… probably just a little weirded out right now like legitimately those two squads killed like 1300 points of my army, and I charged them! I’m distraught 😂.

Finally got a start on Armageddon. C&C Welcome

Took me a while to get round to them but I had a blast converting up the intercessors a few weeks back so thought they should finally get a slap of paint on them. Amazingly somehow they're the first intercessors I've had in my 12 years in the hobby. I will say i squarely fall in to the realm of an army painter but I think they came out pretty good though C&C is always welcomed.
