Discussion of narravtive/crusade in general.

[princeyg]

Just a quick question or two, I've just had my first ever look at a certain website (wont name it in case its against forum rules) and lo and behold it has recently been updated with the (presumably accurate) new nid stuff. What I was not expecting was the crusade rules being there.

I love me some crusade and absolutely adore the Drukhari and GSC crusade rules (especially the GSC).

I'd like to discuss such things and would like to know if this is ok in the General threads, or is there any chance of a narrative forum section?


Can't seem to find a specific section here for it (the other major forum I frequent has a specific section for narrative).

Secondly, while i know most forums are frequented by the more regular, matched play or tournament types surely theres peeps here who play crusade? Anyone? If there are, would you like a specific section for these things (such as campaign reports/ home rules etc)? I think it would be a good idea for those of us who prefer more relaxed story or scenario driven stuff.

Long winded way of saying I'm just checking its ok before i start deep diving into all the possibilites of the new nid crusade stuff (I know i've spoken about it in threads before but they've mostly been threads started with a view to matched play and i always feel wooried about dereailing them).

Annoyingly, i've typed all this out and now i'm not even sure if this even fits into the subject of "Tyranid general". If it doesnt, could a mod please let me know where the best place would have been.

Note: I am not a mod and this is my personal opinion. For nid crusade discussion, this is a ok. I think that for GSC, that would be best discussed in the GSC board. Crusade in general, maybe the other GW or tactics section.

As for crusade, yes, I play crusade. Some friends have put time into making a planetary system and some custom narrative rules so it's really fun to play. I started this army out with a smash flyrant, then had to drop it down to a smash walkrant as it easy way too killy and hard to counter. Just changed up the army composition again to hopefully tone it down more (I'm playing against guard and defensive buffs were creative issues for the NPC armies).

Hey! T hanks for replying!

I think the number of views per replies has confirmed my suspicions about narrative plyers

Although I mentioned GSC, that was just for illustrative purposes and any threads I make here will be for Nids.

I really liked the GSC crusade rules for taking over a planet, and I absolutely love the "by phaase" approach of the nids destroying a planet (with bonus xp for using relevant units). Really hoping this is not a fake leak because its just so good from a campaign perspective.

So far. I am 10 games into a crusade running Drukhari, and 3 games into a GSC one.

Am doing my best to build a 50pvl "Vanguard force" to start my next crusade.

Will post when finalised.

I'd love to play more crusade. Had a group going at one bit, but it kinda just fell apart. Looks like the new Tyranid crusade rules could be quite fun, would love to try them out

The new nid rules look ok. I like how depending upon what phase of consumption, you gain benefits for certain units and detachments. It would be interesting if you could be thrown off a planet as well. As it stands, you'll eventually consume the planet.

Personally, I think the cult crusade rules are the best they've done. It's just so much fun and very fluffy.

The ultimate invasive species should always end in consumption. But, having enough active forces combating it that they can't advance to the next phase of the invasion, you can keep them at bay.
