I'm guessing you're already stocked with sternguard and kantor? Kind of depends on what you have and things you haven't tried out yet.

I have all the Sternguard I want and Kantor. I was thinking a tank or two (I have neither of the tanks I listed. I may get a pack of Centurions, since I have none of those either.

Gonna need those Assault Centurions for that Siege Breaker Cohort!

No, I won't build toward a Sternhammer until they fix it so Pedro Kantor can be used in it. And even then, it'll probably be as Centurion Devastators instead. I am thinking a couple of Vindicators would be appropriate.

Siege breaker cohort can't take Devastator centurions, only Assault centurions.

Could always give into the hatred and do Grav cents.

I would run a Demi-Company instead of the Siegebreaker. I am considering Grav Centurions. Like I said, I don't have any.

This is all provided I can find a copy of Angels of Death. I will give some other stores a call. I am not surprised about the Marine, and honestly don't care. There are other stores that GW, so I guess if they won't get enough in, I will take my business elsewhere.

Seems like most people that wanted one managed to get one for a change !
Nice to see.

I haven't heard of too many people that didn't get one. I didn't because I was not able to make it to the store and I was in a location with no cell service or no time to look when I did have service. So that kinda sucks, but I won't lose sleep over it. He was cool looking, but I don't exactly have a place for him in my current setup.

I think a Vindicator or two will make up for that. Especially if they fix the Sternhammer to work with Pedro Kantor.

Hoipefully they do that, but at the same time, if they do that they ought to allow Crusader squads to be taken in at least some formations as well.

Here's hoping for both. Pedro is one or two lines of errata. Black Templars might have a little more difficulty but not too much.

Devastator Centurions aren't a bad call, given that that they fit with their theme of the recruits having to pick up the slack and being successors of Dorn. Tanks-wise, I would edge over with a Vindicator over the Hunter/Stalker, just because there's not always going to be a skyfire target for you to shoot at, whereas there's always something for a vindicator to aim for.

I like the appearance of the Hunter/Stalker. I run a Raptor Wing for my Skyfire needs. I am thinking I am going to get two Vindicators (this month) and the Angels of Death. I don't really need a Predator because my Devastators are better, and Vindicators at least look different. Centurions are also a possibility. I have zero Grav in my army, so I kinda want them Instead.

I wasn't originally intending to buy one, but I happened to be on the GW website yesterday, and saw that there were still some available. I figured that it would be cool to paint one up, and decided to get one, because why not?

A few minutes later, it was sold out on the Canadian site. I guess I got lucky!

(My flag shows me as being in the United States, but I'm actually in Canada. Weird...)

Templars won't get them, they haven't done them for any other formations

Maybe you got literally the last Canadian one.

Happens to me as well. I think something was said here something about how the ISP works and where it's being used or something like that. For the longest time I was shown as US as well.

I was going to get one, but never did. Went to the store, all gone. Store only had like 10 copies. WTF? Making so little product just to brag that it sells out? That is low on GW part. All it does is make me not want to buy no more. Was going to pick up that SM book that came out with the history of SM, but why bother if I can't get the mini to go with it. Did I really miss out on buying the acrophawhatchayamallcallit book? I already have Rogue Trader so did I miss out on it?

It's just a bunch of old artwork and such gathered into one place.

It's weird that your guys' stores had so little - my GW had tons of them.

True, but they should. It would be easy to errata the Crusader Squad to match the new Cat Terminators and Contemptor- "May be included in any Space Marine Detachment or Formation that lists Tactical Squad as one of it's components. Each Tactical Squad may be replaced by 1 Crusader Squad."

nevermind, found it!

You can be a special snowflake (BT's don't follow normal chapter organization so get special units) or be a standard codex company, but at the same time... Don't see what's wrong with that.

Iron Hands and Salamanders also didn't exactly follow normal chapter organization either but get their own detachments. And Templars get exactly 1 special unit, that is just basic marines with bp/ccw and the option to add some scouts to the unit. Not exactly game-breaking. And both the Stormlance and Pinion Battle Demi-companies explicitly allow for Helbrecht and Grimaldus to lead them, but have no options for Crusader squads.

Hmm. That's fair.

Well, then I guess the response is GW does lots of inconsistent things in the name of the narrative, and even if they didn't, they overlook a lot of things.

What really sucks for templars is that it's not easy to get the bp/ccw's needed. I miss the old Blood Claw box!

Thats a good kit, but designed for the older style SM torsoes, not the ones they started using with the plastic Vet squads and all newer marine kits. Arms and other parts work just fine, but the torsos need the pegs trimmed off to fit the new bodies.

Maybe if GW makes a new Crusader Squad box as a replacement they will errata it to be used in formations to push usability/sales?

I don't like the chain the weapons to the arm thing.

Well, I ordered Angels of Death and a Vindicator from my GW store. Free shipping to my house, so that is good. I also picked up a Culexus, because they are starting to look like they might be mandatory. If I enjoy painting the Vindicator and Pedro gets added to the Sternhammer, I will probably pick up two more for some IC pie plates of doom. I almost got some Centurions, but I just don't care for a lot that half the sprues don't see use.

Can anyone tell me if the Crimson Fists fluff info is any good?

That's some of the only bling I approve of!
