So managed to piece together the details on the Primaris Crusader Squad and im toying around with a few options for a big centrepiece unit for my existing BT army. This is laregly for my own amusement, and as I already own 20 Assault intercessors Im leaning towards Option 4 for some diversity. But I would like to hear other ppls thoughts.
Squad is organized as Follows
SB/Initiates have standard intercessor statline, with the SB having Ld 8 and 3A
1x Sword Brother
-Heavy Bolt Pistol or Pyre Pistol (+5pts)
-Power Sword or Power Axe (+5 pts....must take)
5-11x Initiates
-Heavy Bolt Pistol + Chainsword (default)
-Replace HBP + Chainsword w Autobolt Rifle + Bolt Pistol (+1 PPM)
-2 per 10 replace HBP + Chainsword with either:
-pyreblaster for 10 Pts (15" AP -1 flamer)
-Power Fist + HBP for
4-8 Neophytes
-Bolt Pistol and Chainsword (default)
-Swap for either:
-Bolt Carbine (free)
-Astartes Shotgun (free)
So far I have pieced together ~ 4 Overall archetype ideas
Option 1 - Basic Everything - 342 Pts
1x Sword Borther w HBP + Power Wpn
11 Initates w Chainsword + HBP
8 Neophytes w Bolt Pistol + HBP
Option 2 - All Shooting - 413 Pts
1x Sword Borther w Pyre Pistol + Power Wpn
7 Initiates w Autobolt Rifle
4 Initiates w Pyreblaster
8 Neophyte w Bolt Carbine (or shotgun)
Option 3 - All Melee - 401 Pts
1x Sword Brother w HBP + Power Wpn
7 Initiates w HBP + Chainsword
4 Initiates w Power Fist + HBP
8 Nephytes w Bolt Pistol + Chainsword
Option 4 - Mixed - 410 Pts
1x Sword Brother w Pyre Pistol + Power Wpn
3x Initiate w Chainsword + HBP
2x Initiate w Power Fist + HBP
4x Initiate w Autobolt Rifle
2x Initiate w Pyreblaster
4x Neophyte w Bolt Carbine
4x Neophyte w Chainsword and Bolt Pistol
