There’s no backstory for this guy, other than being a Tribune during the Horus Heresy – so that gives me a nice canvas.Īssuming you’re using the Crusade Mission pack from the new book, Combat Patrol missions limit you to 25 Power Level (PL) and you must use the Patrol detachment (unless you play Imperial or Chaos Knights, which can use the Super-heavy Detachment). Instead, I’ll base my army off the Forge World exclusive model, Ixion Hale:
I’m resisting the urge to build for matched play, which means no Jetbike Captain to start with. I’m hoping the story will write itself as I play the Crusade missions. Who (or what) will their quarry be? It’s too early to say, which is my way of saying I have no idea, just yet.

Today we’re going to talk about building Crusade armies, specifically by looking at the ones we’re building, what we’re thinking, and the Narratives we’re Forging with them. And if you’re looking for advice on running a campaign, check out our thoughts on that here. If you missed our review of Crusade, we’d highly recommend you go check it out here. We’ve been talking about Warhammer 40k 9th edition’s new Crusade game mode for the past few weeks, which has players build their own unique armies that evolve and grow over time, accruing relics and experience, amassing upgrades, and building a narrative.
