1850 Templars Rogue Trader (Die Con) The Redux



After the thorough sheelak...schelaqu...uh, prison raping my previous list suffered at the hands of the cowardly, 30 point rhino-dwelling Salamanders at the Team tournafeast (see Chosen1's previous blog) I realized I lacked enough beef to handle silly things like armor and things that carry big guns (like Predators and Land Raiders).

I really liked that list and against some opponents it can be effective (namely inexperienced players who refuse to evolve to 5th edition). So I took that list, shaved an Initiate, remembered to give my Sword Brethren Furious Charge instead of Infiltrate, and squeezed (squoze? Squidged?) in a couple more power fists.

Here, then, is the final (if it kills me and probably will) list for the Die Con Rogue Trader (ConCarne).

Dear God bro...you need to work on your picture selection. How on Earth is that picture going to make your average gamer say to themselves "Self, I want to read what THAT post is about!"

I thought it was a self portrait? Hmmm.....

Oh no. That's not our dear Chaplain Aerion. ;) Could you imagine playing a guy that looked like that though? "What do you mean I don't get a cover save? I bench press 500lbs little man! I get me a cover save!" Scary. Anyway, where would Aerion put his Templars on that bike?

Under the saddle pecs, shrimp.

I am, of course, disgusted by your callous disregard for our rather gentlemanly "no disgusting pictures of man-creatures with their shirts off" clause on our blog. And don't try to redeem yourself with a picture of a tart either. Being part of the FTW network means we have to be civil. ;)

How did I miss that clause? Do I need to consult my Legislatus?

The legislatus is...er...undergoing re-education and purification rituals currently. I am, of course, available for any consultations you may need.
