Here is the list I have decided on for 1500 points, and eventually scaling up to 1750- 1850 points. Let me know what you think, or any tips for playing the list or for the construction and painting of my Declates Crusade Force, need all the help I can get.

Work in progress

Got my mini's organized and started doing some upgrades on my Crimson Fists Rhino, notably the Tac Arrow on top and the white shield on the front were the Maltese Cross will go, and some chiped paint effect, and some more weathering to come after decals are applied. I also worked up my list, and realized, i need money! Just to get to 1500 points I will need a Rhino, 2 Predators, some bits to make my Marshal, and would like to get the new Ven Dread in plastic, but I can use my current CF Dread for now. Looks like I need to come up with around $175.00 to complete. I think I am going to finish my Skulltaker and Bloodletters, and ebay them along with some old High elves that I have, might get 100-150 bucks for it all, just have to see what I got that I need to get rid of and get some serious painting going on too. Anyways here is a pic of my work this morning, not much, but gotta start somewhere.



Working on a few 1/72 scale WWI planes for Canvas Eagles too. Time to get back at it, and I will post up the new list later as well.

Took some time off...

Now I can focus again, I hope. Well, I have decided to run just my Templars, and to paint up the Demons and sell them. I have gotten quite a few things ready to incorporate into the Declates Crusade force recently. I dug up my old Crimson Fist Marines and started adding here and there and this is what I came up with.


E. Champ
Castellan
Dread
7x Ini.,2x Neo Crusader Squad w/ BP/CCW, Melta and Power Fist
7x Ini., 3x Neo Crusader Squad w/ BP/CCW, Melta and Power Fist
10x Ini. Crusader Squad w/ Bolters, Plasma Gun and Power Fist
2x Rhinos
2x Drop Pods, 1 (is still in the box)
2x Land Speeder Tornados, w/ MM and HF, (1 is still in the box)

Now to make a list, think I am gonna go Mech rather than Drop, I just like tanks too much! Once I have a solid list for 1500 pts., I will know what else to buy, probably some Tri-Las Preds would be good. Well, off to write a list, and plan my army build, so I can get it done sometime before Christmas.

Back to my Black Templars...

Wow, I have been so uninspired and extremely unmotivated of late, time to bust free of my laziness! I am putting the Daemons on the back burner, and getting back to my Templars, yes, I have inspiration to work on them again! I haven't broke out the paintbrush yet, but I have been working on some army lists for 1500 pts. Once I get to that level and get a few test games in, I am going to try and head down to Indy and get a game in with some of my fellow Indy Gamers. On to the list.

I took the Quiz, and it is dead on!

You are a d20: You are a ruthless warrior. Thinking is for idiots and nerds. Doing things is what gets things done. You are the type who stabs now, and then asks questions later. Much later. And it usually involves a priest. For you, the best defense is a good offense, and the best offense usually involves burning the whole place to the ground -- at least twice. You are a whirlwind of destruction, composed of rash decisions and reckless actions. Put briefly, you are a danger to yourself and others. Good thing nobody ever listens to you.
