ChaosRising Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 You are 100% correct. That was the Cephian IV campaign (WD 310). I believe there was another BT vs. DE several issues later (WD 331 ish) when the DE invaded Lilia Mundi - a BT recruiting world. Pictures are coming. Caption: Dark Eldar Warriors disembark and prepare to kill and capture the Black Templar Neophytes. Caption: Chaplain Develain and his warriors stand firm against the Dark Eldar Wyches. These are the only pictures of the battle itself. If you want to see the original armies and/or army lists, I can add those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Oh that. That was 4th edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosRising Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yea. I went through all my 3rd edition WDs and didn't see and BT vs DE. I'm thinking there may have been a Cephian IV style battle before I started collecting WD (around #278). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The 3rd edition battles rocked. We were almost OP back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosRising Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I started playing 40k right as 4th ed was coming out. I figured that the Battle for Macragge boxes would be getting sold left and right for top dollar while the 3rd ed starter sets might be selling slightly cheaper. Given that the 3rd ed box came with the full rulebook (unlike BFM, which had a mini ruleset), along with a landspeeder (in all other regards the two sets were pretty much comparable), I considered the 3rd ed box an overall better purchase. I also liked the fact that the 3rd ed box wasn't as faction specific in its presentation. I'm looking at you, Ultramarines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gang_chong Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 ...I wanted to do chains but couldn't find any in this part of the world...Have you tried an Internet search for "model railroad hobby shops" or similar? Worst case scenario - you might order some chains through an online store.I am in Korea and I don't know the Korean language. Found a place that sells stuff and they didn't know where to get things like that. Korea stikes me as a place where you don't really do/build things with your hands. Wanted to build a bedframe, however nowhere to get lumber. From my understanding ding manual labor is a sign of being poor/lowly/uneducated. Which is a vast difference from how I was raised, "Want something your way, going to have to do it yourself". If I get around to a captain I will have to get some chains for sure. I’m in Korea too so maybe I can help you with find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gang_chong Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Now the vilgius book is released and I have some question. What colour scheme should I use for the veteran intercessors? Can these guys be Sword brethren, and donned with the red crosses on their shoulders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Why not? It's your Crusade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Personally, I do not keep to any of the formal rules with regards to trims and markings. In my Crusade everyone gets a black cross, black trim, with the exception of 'Veterans' who get a Golden / Bronze trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Now the vilgius book is released and I have some question. What colour scheme should I use for the veteran intercessors? Can these guys be Sword brethren, and donned with the red crosses on their shoulders? It seems suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherWallenstein Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Now the vilgius book is released and I have some question. What colour scheme should I use for the veteran intercessors? Can these guys be Sword brethren, and donned with the red crosses on their shoulders? You do you! I realized when painting my army that my army has a lot of elite models/squads, therefore not even all elite Space Marines are Sword Brethren in my crusade. For example I have Company Veterans with CS/SB, but they are painted up as regular initiates. They might be "former Sword Brethren", like that guy (forgot his name) in Command Squad Grimaldus from the Helsreach Crusade. I reserve the Sword Brethren color scheme for Castellans (lieutenants) and two units, both Company Veterans with PS/SS. More than 10 Sword Brethren in a 60 man crusade seems to dilute the "eliteness". To me, the Sword Brethren is basically Honor Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Getting back to the heraldry, for more completeness, here's the scan of the page for the Black Templars Chapter from How to Paint Space Marines. This was published in 2004, so the information is largely consistent with 3rd edition guidance (though it's a tad bit more restrictive in that the guidance below defines that the Chapter badge appears somewhere on the shoulder pad, and no mention is made of personal litanies). That guidance was later changed when the 4th edition Codex: Black Templars was published and an actual system was introduced. Hidden Content (It's a pretty large image, so I put it in the "hidden" tags to save some of you the hassle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
