mytimeprez Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I had an idea on the way to work. The Memoria Crusade led by Marshal Ricard keeps and records Black Templar Crusades in a large tome with it written with each marshal having a book within the tome. For instance: The Book of Helbrecht would include the Armageddon Crusade What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 That's awesome. Ah, "The Book of Godfried". Probably one of the cooler Crusades on this board, from a fluff POV. No offence to you Vets here, I include my own as a "less original" Crusade. GW hijacking my Crusade didn't help. Bloody Marshal Actoan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytimeprez Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 This ha defiantly been a group effort to get this going, I think it would be awesome to let everyone add to the fluff of the Memoria Crusade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 In a way, we do, with the whole "Book of..." idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytimeprez Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Anyone who doesn't mind me doing it I think it would be cool to add some of your crusade badges and banners to the Memoria Crusade. I will also add your accomplishments to the Book of Templars !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyth23 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 You could write a funny story about a fight where I suicided, not intentionally, 80% of my plasma cannons. (I had only 10 of them, but 8 died by get hots) And I like your ideas, good luck with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 To tell you the truth, I'd be honored to see my Crusade badge on your models. And I think most people here would be too. We're a tight Brotherhood, us Templars. I'll make sure to send notable events regarding the Golgotha Crusade for addition into the Book of Templars. @Zyth: Plasma Cannons dying to 'Gets Hot!' is one thing. My Plasma Cannoneer scattered back 11" (before BS reduction) to hit himself and his Comrades. 4 Battle Brothers lost their life that day. ++I, Marshal Godfried, hereby pledge full co-operation of the Golgotha Crusade to the efforts of the Memoria Crusade.++ ++Walk ever in the Light of the Emperor, Brother++ ++Imperator Vult!++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLVW Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 This is a very cool idea, since to my understanding we templar really don't have any record keepers. I look forward to seeing more of your crusade unfold. HLVW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 While I would love to see my badge on your Crusade, you might need to cross mine out or put a black bar to show dishonoured through it, as my Crusade as effectively gone Rogue (not to chaos, just no longer answering to the Imperium). Could add a bit of character :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You could add my badge as well no problem... but as for the history... High Marshal Kordhel explicitly ordered I conduct this Crusade in secret... as for the reason... well.... ... ... ... It's a Secret!!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytimeprez Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 a little background piece: Originally declared by Marshal Ricard, The Memoria Crusade is currently pursuing long lost relics from the founding of the Black Templars and attempting to unravel the mysteries of the chapter's history. Marshal Ricard is piecing together the broken history of the Black Templars and keeping ongoing records of current crusades. The Memoria Crusade is currently investigating several tomb worlds in the Garon Nebula. Rumor has it that a great artifact was lost there....

Metic Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Really digging the theme of your Templar Brother. I always pictured Templar as Relic hunters being fleet based in nature. My initial concept of my army was going to be purely foot marines. Dreadnoughts, power armour and TDA. to kind of represent the idea of a Crusading force that would focus on such a task like clearing space hulks etc. Buuuuut then I fell in love with Mechanized Assault. And that's all I use now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytimeprez Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ok I need some input I have two crusade badge ideas that I can't decide between http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee474/mytimeprez/th_20B0DCD4-1622-455A-AA32-2A9695300728.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee474/mytimeprez/th_8710A057-8C2E-4453-80BD-7D2DF9FBA58F.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elenmar Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I vote for the sword! Everybody always has a big fat pic of Sigismund's cross in the crusade badge... well, I'm exaggerating but you know what swords are cool man go for the sword! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 yeah I prefer the sword one as well, just a little different from the norm but still incorporates the templar cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 you could have the sword partially buried in the ground, like blade tip first. This would link a little better to the purpose of the Crusade, to recover lost artifacts and information about previous Crusades. It can then dual represent for symbology of the Sword in the Stone (King Arthur) cause that is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytimeprez Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 I like the sound of of that Dono and thanks for the feedback Elenmar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf33 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The sword one seems slightly unbalanced to me. Can't quite put my finger on why though. I think the chevron with a sword instead of a cross might work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 You could play around with the elements and keep the official badge quite basic and heraldic, like the belowhttp://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/sword_zps8be1a8fc.jpg And then on a really ornate banner you could expand and make a banner in style similar to what I have had done. The red would be earth, the sword embedded in it and templars standing around or even a ruined templar vehicle or two, symbolising the recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 the main banner can then look something like this, but the focus being on a Templar Power sword and damaged power armour and vehicles in the background http://wallb.com/wallpaper/1807/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ok I need some input I have two crusade badge ideas that I can't decide between http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee474/mytimeprez/th_20B0DCD4-1622-455A-AA32-2A9695300728.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee474/mytimeprez/th_8710A057-8C2E-4453-80BD-7D2DF9FBA58F.jpg Top one.

Marshal Mattias Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Agreed, top one is nice. More ornate banner versions could perhaps incorporate a book or something? But the partially buried blade is a clever idea to keep the theme of the crusade even on a simple small badge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 OK mytimeprez here are my takes for the Badges... mind you these are somewhat my renditions for what you want... except I added some elements to it... if you don't want the stuff that I added then just message me again and I'll take them off and keep your original design: Memoria Crusade Badge 1 http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o622/Marshal_Roujakis/MemoriaCrusadeBadge1_zps98243631.png Memoria Crusade Badge 2 http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o622/Marshal_Roujakis/MemoriaCrusadeBadge2_zps1b108bad.png And there's a bonus something if you click either image on my Photobucket account... use that if it pleases you too... Well... I hope it helped edit: ahhh... I'll just post the bonus optional badge here... just use it if you want... I was bored and combined elements from the 2 badges... somehow clicking the images won't post the 3rd one so....
