Apology and Announcement

5/23/2010

I must apologize to everyone.  I was playing around with the site settings the other night and in doing so, I set a password for the site.  Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off the setting requiring visitors to put in the password to access the site.  My bad, I removed it and you should have full access to the site once again.  There are only a couple pages that still have the password attached to them, and they are ones that are currently under construction.

Speaking of pages under construction, I'm on pace to complete my Black Templars 101 page.  The Black Templars 101 project is something I'm working on that I hope will be a valuable resource for future new players to the army. Its my goal that people can just go "Hello, go read blah blah site. It has everything you need to know to start the army." and direct them to this ever expanding article.

That way, the new player has a concrete and detailed store of information at their disposal. So they can look through BT 101 and learn about the basics of the Black Templars. Then they can go to the Bolter and Chainsword Forums and the community will be able to give more specific information and feedback to any questions the new BT players might have. Of course, this is not a replacement for actual experience but will help the learning curve. Basically, its a resource that cuts out the "Hey I'm new. How do I go about starting the army? Whats good?" because it'll all be there. Hopefully.

Of course, I'd love feedback on it once its published so I can get the best information I can up there. But remember, it'll be from my perspective and thus, might be biased towards a certain method of play over another. Not everyone will agree with what is posted.

I eagerly await this. I've been reading into Black Templars for the past few months so that when I decided to start playing I know exactly what I want to buy and how I want to play.

This was a big mistake I made when starting my first army (Tau), I bought random things to try out and ended up spending a lot of money on models I don't even use.

Also, in your BT101 will you have a section on tactics Templars can employ against other armies? A tactic section in general would be nice, actually.

As I mentioned in this entry, I'm on track to finishing this rather lengthy portion of my site by June 1st. If I don't make it, I'll update the day before with how much longer its going to be, but I don't believe that will be an issue.

I know how you feel about buying too much for your army. I made that mistake with my Black Templars, and have nearly 9500 points worth of stuff laying around, so the BT 101 will hopefully help you cut down those costs.

Basic tactical advice will be provided in Black Templars 101, as well as very generic things to watch out for when facing the different armies. I'm going to save the specific details for later updates, as it will take quite a bit of work to get everything in. As you already know, each army has numerous different builds and having the space to discuss it is necessary.

You can find more specific BT related tactica on my Tactics page:

Thanks for commenting! I'll have to work all the harder now that I know for sure someone is looking forward to the entry! :D
