10 Essential Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your Warhammer 40K Crusade
6. Balance Is Key To Building A Successful Crusade
Constructing an Order of Battle is much like planning finances and the first rule of finance is don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Make sure your roster covers all bases, gimmicks are cool but they can be countered easily by a savvy player.
If in doubt pick one from each category. By doing that you’ll guarantee yourself a Warlord, a little bit of speed, a little dakka and hopefully a little punch… Sorry Tau no punch for you.
This should give you over half of your 50 PL and from there you can start personalising it more to your own playstyle.
For example, in Space Marines their troop choices are all very strong so it would be advisable to load up a squad or two more of troops to allow your Order of Battle to control the board. Alternatively, for Aeldari it may be wiser to take additional fast attack to capitalise on the Space Elves speed. Or Orks, who can just bring anything and it’ll be Orkie!
Not to worry though, you can always buy more PL with your Requisition Points as your crusade investments mature.
