As many people have asked and I really should have mentioned it somewhere: the app I'm using to track Crusade stuff is Administratum from Goonhammer administratum.goonhammer.com/
I understand having a “mvp” for me that would be either my 5crusade points Apothecary (revive scout and cp generation.) and my Wolf Guard Terminators (DEATH INCARNATION. they kill monsters, Really Really well.) if I make a list for a battle, they are in it.
i think my favorite crusade moment was when my overlord with multiple relics charged a 5 person group of sisters and after killing 2 with awful rolls he proceeded to get punched to death by the sisters he now will refuse to charge sisters under any circumstances and refuses to elaborate on why
i had a paragon warsuit sister kill magnus the red in my enemies army i named her sister "magnolia" and gave her more of a red paintjob to match her new name and gave her a bloody rose transfer to match her new name
Waiting to paint your minis until you have some 'epic' stuff happen is 100% the way to go. I had an officer back in 9th edition that was ripped apart by some nids, and I got a battle scar that had his leg injured, so I actually cut off his leg and 3d printed a bionic leg for him instead! (then painted him)
oh hey, it's my army! Our game was really good. It felt really close and some unlucky rolls meant the objective markers you had access to disappeared. I did very much enjoy stomping my Norn around destroying everything in it's path though ;) And i'm looking forward to seeing your last game
Crusade has had some absolutely epic moments. We had an escalation league where I brought 500 points of T'au against three small Knights. One of my Crisis Suits tanked an entire Shooting Phase between her shield drones, shield generator, and armor, before being charged and destroyed. Her model now has a special shield gen and a unique paint job. Also, my Darkstrider is actually a promoted Breacher named Li'Roi who just kept surviving insane odds, such as getting charged by an entire squad of Grey Knights Paladins.
I love me some Narritive Play in Warhammer. I'd like to do it more often with my friends tbh. Because there's some great stories that have come from the Narritive games I've played. Now, I mainly play Age of Sigmar, so I haven't played Crusade, but I think doing that in 40K might help me learn how it works. Here's my favorite Narritive game story. I was playing Maggotkin of Nurgle and my opponent was playing Sylvaneth. The Narritive Battleplan we were using was called "The Ritual". My goal was to defend my home objective and hold the points on the boarder of my territory to conduct the ritual. My opponent needed to take those objectives from me to slow/halt the Ritual's progress. Now, for those who don't know, Maggotkin of Nurgle have the ability to summon units of Daemons that they add to their army using a special resource of "Contagion Points" obtained primarily by occupying territory. By the end of the game, I had accrued enough points to summon a Great Unclean One into my army in the same turn I completed my ritual and won the game. And I had been saving my AoS equivalent to Requisition Points to add a Great Unclean One to my Roster. Both narritive and gameplay came together in perfect harmony for that one moment, and it's a moment I'll never forget.
Hit all the points here on why I like both Crusade in 40k and Horus Heresy - the narrative focus. As a person who started with D&D narrative/storytelling games just interest me a lot more than more competitive focused ones. Great video!
I really loved crusade in 9th. My group started writing in-universe battle reports to track our games and spin propaganda as appropriate. Really the only downsides were some of the 9th crusade missions were really lopsided and the battle honors can get out of hand quickly. I accidentally made the killiest Gladiator Reaper in the land. I was given the option to choose a weapon enhancement so the twin onslaught got +1 D, the MM got +6 in range, I was rerolling 1s to hit and 1s to wound against vehicles. It ended the 6 game crusade with 13 unit kills. So have to be careful with that.
Crusade is the best way to play 40K bar none. I’ve been playing in a 6 month crusade league and we’ve gotten really deep into it now. Stories of nail biting victories and heartbreaking defeats echo throughout the league and practically become legend in the gaming group. I have been playing a Phobos heavy Ultramarines force and have had a habit of getting pasted every game but managing to eke out a win at the last moment, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Because of this, the tone of my battle reports that we write have taken a much more grim turn, with my Captain resorting to incredibly risky hit and run tactics to survive. A Black Templars player I played against lost against me in the very end of round 5 after I was able to just barely kill a massive Crusader Squad. We ended up teaming up later down the road, forming a Coalition with the idea that both forces proved themselves very capable, and that it’s better to stand together against the horrors of the universe than alone. PLEASE try crusade if you have the chance. We struggle with a lot of the same crap others do in the hobby like grognards and power gamers, but it’s a truly rewarding experience that affects the way you play the game for the remainder of the campaign. It also leaves room for tons of expansion on narrative elements, and leaving yourself open to this will make lasting memories that you’ll look back fondly on.
I did a crusade but kind of lost interest back in 9th. It felt like we spend ages writing shit down and essentially doing homework after every game. Every game you’d have to remember what killed what and what specific unit had what specific rule. I think this was a case of us playing literally as I had just started the game so I wasn’t sure what was going on.
I like crusade! But I don't want every game I play to be crusade. My friends play a crusade game or two but we still play regular games. It helps to not need to always have a story or a homework assignment to do after a game. However, crusade helps the games we play feel more substantial. It's a give and take
Woah Northern Exile is just about to release a video on narrative play- two of my favourite hobby channels. He does really great videos on what he would change in the lore by the way, would recommend.
@@PaulIsBadAtStuff nice! You'll wanna check out his lore rant series in that case. He does a great video on the Emperor and how he should return. Enjoy!
My dad and I play Crusade maybe once or twice a month with our Tyranids vs Tau (95h edition though until the Tau codex comes out probably), and it's honestly been a blast, he enjoys the versatility that he faces with my Tyranids roster changing so much based on what stage of the world devouring process I am in, plus the consistent story aspect we make. I enjoy the story too, and that my side is very easy to come up with, you are there, I am hungry, nom. Some missions though paired with our need to change things up sometimes will make us have some really interesting narratives, like the Assassination mission, usually I would say Tyranids invading a world would be going for the enemy leader with their vanguard units, but we thought, "Why not, let's say the Tau Ethereal is leading a force against the rampaging Broodlord, possibly dealing great damage to the Tyranid Invasion force". Boom, this is suddenly much different yet still fun, at least in my opinion. Love Crusade, love matched, just a fun game lol (though I need to figure out how the hell I am going to beat my brother's Orks, they are absolute monsters! XD)
Crusade is absolutely he best way to play Warhammer 40K. At this stage, our local play group is about 90% Crusade. We've had as many as 24 players in a campaign and it's just fantastic. The storie sthat come out f it are grand, and sometimes one character or unit just gets legendaru status, with people swearing to bring down Ramses the Eternal, or cheering on Captain Damarius despite his two battle scars, fearful of when he gets a third and is force into retirement, but he struggles on bravely despite the limitations! It's just the best.
The 40k players are ruining the enjoyment of the game themselves. There is no such thing as a " meta ". Good players can create good armies all by themselves and have an opinion on what they think is a good army to bring to the table and roll dice with. If your copying your list off of someone else you already ruined the game for yourself, and for the 40k community.
My friends and I started recently with the charadon narrative and we use our 9th edition rules which is a big yay for my imperial guard. We almost finished the first phase and my guard actually pulled out 3 wins against my friends Thousand sons, Death Guard and Tyranids. Can't wait to continue to play crusade^^
I don't know why I didn't think that there'd be a 40k alternative to Mordhiem, but now I wonder why no one would play without the permeant progression/campaign mechanics. Seems a lot more fun imo
I played a couple of custom campaign games in my local warhammer club. It ended up being a much worse version of 40k, because half of the missions had some weird restrictions (Like you HAVE to bring at least 2 mounted or cavalry units or make an army without any vehicles), and instead of scoring objectives or secondaries you had a set number of missions you had to score. Neither of these things were thought out or tested, so much so my opponent rage-quit on my 2nd game despite potentially winning in points
Yeah I can imagine that homebrew missions are a nightmare. I've not delved into custom stuff like that in 40k we just use the GW missions and they've been fun
I have yet to play any crusade. My play friend is on a ship in the middle of the Pacific atm. But i was wondering, have you seen the Poorhammer guys horde mode? Turns the game into a coop!
G'day mate, if your looking for other styles of playing 40k, there's a channel in YT called Poorhammer thats made a ruleset for co-op vs hoard and its well worth a try. I've had amazing fun with it!
great video, really want to try crusade now, my only question is what app do you guys use because I can't seem to find what looks like a good one online yet?
i really want to start my gobbo revolution list if my store ever does a crusade league (which they say they're planning on doing after this AoS one is done), also I've been playing a Path to Glory campaign for AoS and it's really fun
Our Local Gaming Group is currently doing a 10th Edition year long Crusade. We also did Crusade in 9th. I do like the improvements. Black Templars be Crusading.
Great video! I have wanted to try crusade for a while, but the paperwork has been a bit of a barrier to entry lol. What do you use to keep track of everything?
My favorite moment in crusade was me (Blood Angels) fighting Chaos SM (iron warriors), losing all my units round 3 except my Land raider, and proceeded to watch my Land raider mow down a Helbrute, Forgefiend, Venomcrawler, and Vashtorr himself. It survived all 5 rounds
My problem with crusade being guard is that, well my units are literally meant to die a tonne and dont really achieve a lot wich basically meant that in the short lived 9th codex they basically change a lot on how crusade worked for guard
Honestly I love the concept of Crusade and would love to play in one. The long wait and everything else doesn't bug me, it gives time to paint to the narrative which I love. My issue is just, ya know actually finding people to play in one
To tie into the bit about paint job reflecting the units history in campaign, my modest little Sisters of Battle army had a unified grey/silver/gold paintjob going. Except for their leader. She was in blue-green and gold armor and outright had a different symbol on her backpack. This often got people to comment on it. (This was long ago, during the days of the Inquisition having a single unified codex.) I got to give them the one sentence version of what motivated me to paint her so oddly. During my first game with said sisters of battle, (with the canoness unpainted at the time.) there was a fort in the center with no opening to it. The walls were impassable, but the center was normal ground as the opponent and I had agreed. We both had essentially the same plan with this: Send jump capable forces up the center. Mine was the Canonness and the Saraphim squad. His was a Bloodthirster. The resulting close combat was essentially a running side story to the stomp of my forces going on outside. Because he kept wiping out squads, I kept getting faith. I kept using that faith on miracles so the Canonness wouldn't get stomped into a paste by the Bloodthirster. He had faith he'd win with raw stats so didn't throw anything in to help his greater demon out. Eventually, it came down to a final round of close combat before the battle was over and on the last turn, the canonness survived a hit that should have killed her (Immunity to instant death once in a game.) due to Relic armor. Then I threw in all the buffs I could and the canonness ended up killing the Bloodthirster in close quarters. With both agreed this was amusingly fun, and afterwards I came up with the idea that this set of Relic Armor was so old, it predated the modern heraldry of this Order of Sisters. As changing the colors would be a crime, it remained in the old Blue-green and Gold, even with the old Golden Rose symbol instead of the Gold Blade in Cream Book of the modern Order. The little lore blurb written up for the armor mentioned it's age, color and that a Canonness had once slain a Bloodthirster in close combat so her Seraphim could escape a losing battle, with the armor recovered later with her body. (Which had been slain by the remaining Chaos forces.)
My friends and I did a 6 man crusade to end off 9th edition and it was a blast, even though I used Tyranids (who had AWFUL crusade rules then) and got really far behind. But I had a raid boss Hive Tyrant who exchanged its Synapse ability for the 4+ invuln and got the legendary Relic to use it twice per game, so by the last few battles my Hive Tyrant and her trio of Tyrant Guard were unstoppable as they stomped across the battlefield.
My local store actually just hosted and we just finished up a Creuset tournament. It’s funny that we were playing crusade at the same time but honestly it’s such a great game style just like you were saying I love the XP and getting something out of a lost cause I am not the best player not to mention our crusade was ran with a raffle ticket system, so just participating got you tickets to win prizes at the end. I ended up winning a predator!
Crusade makes warhammer 40k fun for me. 10th edition so far has been nothing but sweaty tryhards and number crunchers. I’m about to do one here soon and man I’m gonna have a good time. I’m playing an imperial fist sucessor chapter I made whose whole goal is to find an ancient relic from the legion. So yeah should be fun.
My local store is starting a Crusade in September and I've been looking through the Crusade rules for SoB and making a character into a Living Saint looked really fun and powerful. Also there's rules for Sisters to turn into repentia and then for repentia to either redeem themselves or go into a Mortifier. I'm really looking forward to the Crusade
Yeah, pass getting constantly curbstomped and needing to constantly shell out $60 for another fucking rule book has killed my desire to play this shit. I'll just play Battltech. At least i don't lose my best shit without being able to shoot with it because everything gets to shoot at the same time.
Aight i know im 3 months late to the party but what me and my friends like to do to spice things up is make our own custom games with scenarios and all. Its kinda like a mix between matched play and crusade where you have the best of both worlds in my opinion. Like you dont have scheduling issues because its only 1 game and not a whole campaign and you have the fun and variety of narrative play
I go a step further than painting, i make special models for my legendary characters, made one for my custodes Terminator captain and my world eaters moe, both take inspiration from the upgrades they got in their respective campaigns
It is great I am so invested in my models now, in a game of my admech vs tyrannids, I got turn one & my tank decide to just delete one norn off the table with all three of its shots have 3 boxcars on damage, then having my bomber doing bombing runs before tank shocking itself into a line of elite melee (sorry still new dont know models other than the ones in my army) units to delay from getting into my battlelines
My entire custom chaos chapter, the brass lords, lore is decided by games from there hatred of nurgle to there fall to chaos was in some way decided by a battle won or lost even there fighting style comes from when I started I only had so few models that I played boarding action and kill team hence them been adept at close combat and boarding actions but shit at larger battles so yeah I like crusade
I've been in a crusade with my model club which is about to end. During this campaign, we've had a map of a planet which we are fighting over under three alliances: Imperium, Tyranids (Including GSC), and raiders (everyone else). So far, the competition is between the Tyranids and raiders, with the Imperium reduced to 4 of 25. I have been playing Death Guard and have joked that I can help the other factions gain territory. Nonetheless, I have managed to gain some epic moments, courtesy of my Lord of Contagion's deep-strike-long-bomb...when it actually works, that is. He single-handedly won me the one game I did win this campaign by charging some neophyte hybrids, polishing them off and moving to stop them resurrecting, then charging and killing a goliath. I also had a unit of poxwalkers hold down a ridgerunner and out-OC it. To encourage people to paint up their models, the guy running the campaign introduced a rule whereby each unit painted to a tabletop standard gets the MFG bonus on the spot. I have only one model up to this standard so far, but I have some heroes almost ready.
So, there is another RUclipsr that I watch called Poorhammer, and they have a game mode called "Horde Mode" that, if you read this you should totally check out. My fiance and I just played our first game yesterday, and she said that it is the most fun she has had playing any 40k style of game.
I’m in a crusade group and it’s been the only 40K I’ve been playing this year it’s super fun! My biggest moment was killing two Khorne demon characters in melee combat with my Commissar & Castellian! XD
I couldn't agree more with this concept. My space Marines have seemed to only get worse of the course of the edition, but in Crusade i feel like i actually have a chance. And since it's narratively driven, even though i haven't won it still feels better because in the lore of the crusade my marines died valiantly, or in the case of the first game, left barely any enemies still alive and leaving the enemy without having completed the objective. The hilarity of watching my lieutenant kill a Swarmlord with his plasma pistol cannot be understated, the lack of reliance on named characters is fantastic. Would recommend
I love crusade, we did one to end 9th and the ork player ran away with it so for our final game we made him play 2 games at once, he did a 1v1 and a 1v2 (both players totaled to 3000 points) and had a blast. We even let him use Da Jump to move stuff from one table to the other.
Can you do a video of what apps you use and what to do to start a crusade in 10th? Me and a buddy where going to start a crusade in 9th but now I don't know what I need to do a 10th crusade.
I love the eliminators cause in my eyes they can have a few ways to play with. I have two units of them and each with a different use. One is to snipe characters and the other’s has the lasfuls and act as anti light vechiles
Makes sense. I definitely see what role they should play but my playstyle of "being an idiot" means I'm underutilizing them so I took them out to make room for more big guns
@@PaulIsBadAtStuff understandable. The servo turret is really good unit and I plan on getting more of them cause they are goo for a backline and anti tank with the lascannons
As many people have asked and I really should have mentioned it somewhere: the app I'm using to track Crusade stuff is Administratum from Goonhammer administratum.goonhammer.com/
I understand having a “mvp” for me that would be either my 5crusade points Apothecary (revive scout and cp generation.) and my Wolf Guard Terminators (DEATH INCARNATION. they kill monsters, Really Really well.) if I make a list for a battle, they are in it.
And sergeant psyka. He survives a lot of psychic attacks. About six. On one wound. He is my hero.
Black templar propaganda.
Psh they can't read
Asmodia is the true emporor of 40k he will make everyone repent for the lion
oi. @@BLOODKINGbro
As a Black Templars enthusiast: yes.
Heretics don’t purge themselves you know
i think my favorite crusade moment was when my overlord with multiple relics charged a 5 person group of sisters and after killing 2 with awful rolls he proceeded to get punched to death by the sisters
he now will refuse to charge sisters under any circumstances and refuses to elaborate on why
That is absolutely beautiful
Even the immortal are not immune to PTSD.
i had a paragon warsuit sister kill magnus the red in my enemies army i named her sister "magnolia" and gave her more of a red paintjob to match her new name and gave her a bloody rose transfer to match her new name
Waiting to paint your minis until you have some 'epic' stuff happen is 100% the way to go.

This is awesome. Had people do this with Necromunda and Mordheim. An Eyepatch here, a wooden peg there. Really adds character.
oh hey, it's my army! Our game was really good. It felt really close and some unlucky rolls meant the objective markers you had access to disappeared. I did very much enjoy stomping my Norn around destroying everything in it's path though ;) And i'm looking forward to seeing your last game
I still have nightmares about that Norn
Crusade has had some absolutely epic moments. We had an escalation league where I brought 500 points of T'au against three small Knights. One of my Crisis Suits tanked an entire Shooting Phase between her shield drones, shield generator, and armor, before being charged and destroyed. Her model now has a special shield gen and a unique paint job. Also, my Darkstrider is actually a promoted Breacher named Li'Roi who just kept surviving insane odds, such as getting charged by an entire squad of Grey Knights Paladins.
A Breacher who gets promoted for deeds should ABSOLUTELY be named Li'Roi!! That's gold...
I love me some Narritive Play in Warhammer. I'd like to do it more often with my friends tbh. Because there's some great stories that have come from the Narritive games I've played. Now, I mainly play Age of Sigmar, so I haven't played Crusade, but I think doing that in 40K might help me learn how it works.
Here's my favorite Narritive game story. I was playing Maggotkin of Nurgle and my opponent was playing Sylvaneth. The Narritive Battleplan we were using was called "The Ritual". My goal was to defend my home objective and hold the points on the boarder of my territory to conduct the ritual.

Now, for those who don't know, Maggotkin of Nurgle have the ability to summon units of Daemons that they add to their army using a special resource of "Contagion Points" obtained primarily by occupying territory. By the end of the game, I had accrued enough points to summon a Great Unclean One into my army in the same turn I completed my ritual and won the game. And I had been saving my AoS equivalent to Requisition Points to add a Great Unclean One to my Roster.
Both narritive and gameplay came together in perfect harmony for that one moment, and it's a moment I'll never forget.
Hit all the points here on why I like both Crusade in 40k and Horus Heresy - the narrative focus. As a person who started with D&D narrative/storytelling games just interest me a lot more than more competitive focused ones. Great video!

That's fair. Makes sense if you're just learning the game that the extra admin on top of that would be annoying. Never thought of that
@@PaulIsBadAtStuff trying to remember buffs and nerfs that a unit has gotten from levelling up or taking damage is a struggle especially

To tie into the bit about paint job reflecting the units history in campaign, my modest little Sisters of Battle army had a unified grey/silver/gold paintjob going. Except for their leader. She was in blue-green and gold armor and outright had a different symbol on her backpack. This often got people to comment on it. (This was long ago, during the days of the Inquisition having a single unified codex.) I got to give them the one sentence version of what motivated me to paint her so oddly.
During my first game with said sisters of battle, (with the canoness unpainted at the time.) there was a fort in the center with no opening to it. The walls were impassable, but the center was normal ground as the opponent and I had agreed. We both had essentially the same plan with this: Send jump capable forces up the center. Mine was the Canonness and the Saraphim squad. His was a Bloodthirster. The resulting close combat was essentially a running side story to the stomp of my forces going on outside.
Because he kept wiping out squads, I kept getting faith. I kept using that faith on miracles so the Canonness wouldn't get stomped into a paste by the Bloodthirster. He had faith he'd win with raw stats so didn't throw anything in to help his greater demon out. Eventually, it came down to a final round of close combat before the battle was over and on the last turn, the canonness survived a hit that should have killed her (Immunity to instant death once in a game.) due to Relic armor. Then I threw in all the buffs I could and the canonness ended up killing the Bloodthirster in close quarters.
With both agreed this was amusingly fun, and afterwards I came up with the idea that this set of Relic Armor was so old, it predated the modern heraldry of this Order of Sisters. As changing the colors would be a crime, it remained in the old Blue-green and Gold, even with the old Golden Rose symbol instead of the Gold Blade in Cream Book of the modern Order. The little lore blurb written up for the armor mentioned it's age, color and that a Canonness had once slain a Bloodthirster in close combat so her Seraphim could escape a losing battle, with the armor recovered later with her body. (Which had been slain by the remaining Chaos forces.)
Wait... I'm hearing that this could actually scratch my XCOM itch!? I've been enjoying Killteam, but character progression sounds amazing.
My friends and I did a 6 man crusade to end off 9th edition and it was a blast, even though I used Tyranids (who had AWFUL crusade rules then) and got really far behind. But I had a raid boss Hive Tyrant who exchanged its Synapse ability for the 4+ invuln and got the legendary Relic to use it twice per game, so by the last few battles my Hive Tyrant and her trio of Tyrant Guard were unstoppable as they stomped across the battlefield.
My local store actually just hosted and we just finished up a Creuset tournament. It’s funny that we were playing crusade at the same time but honestly it’s such a great game style just like you were saying I love the XP and getting something out of a lost cause I am not the best player not to mention our crusade was ran with a raffle ticket system, so just participating got you tickets to win prizes at the end. I ended up winning a predator!
Crusade makes warhammer 40k fun for me. 10th edition so far has been nothing but sweaty tryhards and number crunchers. I’m about to do one here soon and man I’m gonna have a good time. I’m playing an imperial fist sucessor chapter I made whose whole goal is to find an ancient relic from the legion. So yeah should be fun.
My local store is starting a Crusade in September and I've been looking through the Crusade rules for SoB and making a character into a Living Saint looked really fun and powerful. Also there's rules for Sisters to turn into repentia and then for repentia to either redeem themselves or go into a Mortifier. I'm really looking forward to the Crusade
Yeah, pass getting constantly curbstomped and needing to constantly shell out $60 for another fucking rule book has killed my desire to play this shit. I'll just play Battltech. At least i don't lose my best shit without being able to shoot with it because everything gets to shoot at the same time.
Aight i know im 3 months late to the party but what me and my friends like to do to spice things up is make our own custom games with scenarios and all. Its kinda like a mix between matched play and crusade where you have the best of both worlds in my opinion. Like you dont have scheduling issues because its only 1 game and not a whole campaign and you have the fun and variety of narrative play
I go a step further than painting, i make special models for my legendary characters, made one for my custodes Terminator captain and my world eaters moe, both take inspiration from the upgrades they got in their respective campaigns
It is great I am so invested in my models now, in a game of my admech vs tyrannids, I got turn one & my tank decide to just delete one norn off the table with all three of its shots have 3 boxcars on damage, then having my bomber doing bombing runs before tank shocking itself into a line of elite melee (sorry still new dont know models other than the ones in my army) units to delay from getting into my battlelines
My entire custom chaos chapter, the brass lords, lore is decided by games from there hatred of nurgle to there fall to chaos was in some way decided by a battle won or lost even there fighting style comes from when I started I only had so few models that I played boarding action and kill team hence them been adept at close combat and boarding actions but shit at larger battles so yeah I like crusade
I.... know this music ;D Who knows what it is from?
Also a very lovely game, hehe
i'd love to run crusade, but gw my my necron rules and index cards cost 95 usd and im not exactly keen on spending any more money than that
played in a crusade campaign with chaos knights and the lone operative relic on a knight rampager just felt dirty haha
huh, im surprised that 10th actually did something good.
Might have to see if i can adapt this to 5th.
I agree! I lost evrry game but it was a fun narrative rpg like event
I run the crusade for my LGS, it’s pretty great
What's the army building app you were using?
Administratum from Goonhammer
@@PaulIsBadAtStuff Thanks
This looks great! Theres another book coming out with necrons
I feel the same playing connected games of Delta Sector 😉
Path to glory would have similar effects
btw what was that website that showed centurien crusade abilities
why do i see grey ravens SHAME (love your vids)
I've been in a crusade with my model club which is about to end. During this campaign, we've had a map of a planet which we are fighting over under three alliances: Imperium, Tyranids (Including GSC), and raiders (everyone else). So far, the competition is between the Tyranids and raiders, with the Imperium reduced to 4 of 25. I have been playing Death Guard and have joked that I can help the other factions gain territory. Nonetheless, I have managed to gain some epic moments, courtesy of my Lord of Contagion's deep-strike-long-bomb...when it actually works, that is. He single-handedly won me the one game I did win this campaign by charging some neophyte hybrids, polishing them off and moving to stop them resurrecting, then charging and killing a goliath. I also had a unit of poxwalkers hold down a ridgerunner and out-OC it.
To encourage people to paint up their models, the guy running the campaign introduced a rule whereby each unit painted to a tabletop standard gets the MFG bonus on the spot. I have only one model up to this standard so far, but I have some heroes almost ready.
So, there is another RUclipsr that I watch called Poorhammer, and they have a game mode called "Horde Mode" that, if you read this you should totally check out. My fiance and I just played our first game yesterday, and she said that it is the most fun she has had playing any 40k style of game.
I’m in a crusade group and it’s been the only 40K I’ve been playing this year it’s super fun! My biggest moment was killing two Khorne demon characters in melee combat with my Commissar & Castellian! XD
I couldn't agree more with this concept. My space Marines have seemed to only get worse of the course of the edition, but in Crusade i feel like i actually have a chance. And since it's narratively driven, even though i haven't won it still feels better because in the lore of the crusade my marines died valiantly, or in the case of the first game, left barely any enemies still alive and leaving the enemy without having completed the objective.
The hilarity of watching my lieutenant kill a Swarmlord with his plasma pistol cannot be understated, the lack of reliance on named characters is fantastic. Would recommend
I may have to give Crusade another look since you're making it sound so appealing.
What do you use to build your crusade lists? I've been STRUGGLING to find a program lol
Could you tell me what software you use to keep track of your crusade information? The stuff you showed in the video locked really great.
It's Administratum by Goonhammer. Web based app. Very useful
I love crusade, we did one to end 9th and the ork player ran away with it so for our final game we made him play 2 games at once, he did a 1v1 and a 1v2 (both players totaled to 3000 points) and had a blast. We even let him use Da Jump to move stuff from one table to the other.
I remember in 9th, when local commiunity tried Crusade campaign, organized by some guy. Around 10 players gathered, total of 2 games played
Can you do a video of what apps you use and what to do to start a crusade in 10th? Me and a buddy where going to start a crusade in 9th but now I don't know what I need to do a 10th crusade.
The app I use is Administratum from Goonhammer. I could do a video like that, I'll add it to the ideas list
I started a crusade and won my first game!
ZORBEEZ
Have you got a real mess and wanna clean like the pros?
THE MOST ABSORBENT MATERIAL
*I’VE EVER USED*
I just started a crusade with my friends like a month ago this video is suspiciously good... I've got my eyes on you Paul
Lesson learned: wait to paint you stuff, until stuff special. More excuses is more better!
Thank you for making a video with which i can use to convince my friends to play crusades.
Is that the Underground theme from Terraria in the background..?
Yes it is. It makes nice background music so I've used it a few times
THE FLOOR IS PAINTING HAHAHAHAHA
what app is that for the crusade
Crusade is super fun too bad my friends don’t play 40K lol
You should check out horde mode
Thanks for this! I hope to try it with my game mates!
No I can't play the units I want because they no longer exist
:(
I love the eliminators cause in my eyes they can have a few ways to play with. I have two units of them and each with a different use. One is to snipe characters and the other’s has the lasfuls and act as anti light vechiles
Makes sense. I definitely see what role they should play but my playstyle of "being an idiot" means I'm underutilizing them so I took them out to make room for more big guns
@@PaulIsBadAtStuff understandable. The servo turret is really good unit and I plan on getting more of them cause they are goo for a backline and anti tank with the lascannons
What do you use to track your exp, or, and all that for your crusade?
Crusade is the bestest.
This is so relatable
I LOVE CRUSADE
Crusade balls
One word…. Skill issue.
If you’re not playing narrative games and crusade, it is, indeed, a skill issue on your part.

What app did you use for ur roster tracking?
Administratum from Goonhammer
@@PaulIsBadAtStuff tank you

Administratum from Goonhammer on browser 👍
This is fucking fantastic
What program were you using for the lists?

@@PaulIsBadAtStuff thank you!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on hoard mode from the poorhammer podcast
You talk very fast and not very clearly. I had a lot of troubles understanding sentences.
