Okay so yeah I'm back to playing my Black Templars/Sisters army. One of my fellow players who is playing in my planetary empires campaign is using his Black Templar Drop pod army and just seeing these zealous guys in action made me feel like pulling out my army again. The funny thing is I started this blog to talk about painting my Sisters as an ally of my Black Templar's which I actually got done with except the immolater and the Rhino. I do have several more sisters but not enough to start a dedicated army. For now, I will keep them as allies to my black templars, maybe in time I will have enough to do small point 1000pt games.
The latest rumor is that they will get a PDF. codex like the blood angels did which I would welcome, just hope they finally release some plastic sisters as well. This last Saturday I played 2 games with them getting a tie against a heavy mech IG army who had 4 leman russ tanks, this game I lost due to making 2 key mistakes, 1 having one of my troop squads running off an objective to kill a vanquisher tank as I didn't want it to kill my landraider crusader. I should have kept them their and thus won the game 3-2. My other one was a terrible "noobie" mistake, since my immolater was immobilized, I decided to jump my Dominion squad into the landraider crusader as my Sword Brethren had already jumped out of it and killed 3 squads and a tank.
My Dominion squad and my Cannoness jumped into the crusader and leaped out in front of my opponents veteran squad who was claiming an objective and with 4 flamers, killed all but one of the vets, the problem came as I also fired my cannoness' bolt pistol and my sister superior's bolter thus I couldnt assault after even though they had come out of a landraider, that one vet cost me the game. The other game was just an absolute slaughter, it was a game against a straight marine player complete with Calgar. My emperors champ actually put 3 wounds on him and ended up killing him in the next assault phase, wow the best my champ has done. I did have 2 5 man assault squads hold up one of my 20 man squads for almost 3 turns as my opponent was rolling absolutely fantastic. He was making all kinds of saves until my champ got a hold of the squad and just started killing them with his black sword. This Saturday will be the last week of my campaign, a 2000pts battle for all the marbles and yes my black templars will be making another appearance as a ringer if someone decides not to show... If they all show well then it will be time for some more fun pick up games. Pics are of my Sisters squads with my "Cannoness"; the Emperor's Champ is from GW, I will post pics of my Black Templars in another post..I keep promising myself that I will continue to work on my chaos army again, or course when that will happen is anybody's guess... Geez I really need to focus...
