I'm starting a Crusade for Armageddon, but I am sorely outdated on Crusade Roster options.

Does anyone have an updated 10th edition fillable PDF or Google Doc-style roster? Specifically, I'll be playing Knights and Marines (with maybe some Agents thrown in), but the Imperial Knights crusade mechanic has me a little overwhelmed and I'm hoping to find a roster specifically compatible to them.

Starting a new Armageddon crusade! Looking for some players before kicking things off.

I'll be running with the Armageddon crusade book rules, primarily. There's a potential for things to continue on, either with a 'new game plus', or with a new Crusade mission pack.

The current rules limit Epic Heroes (though don't disallow them entirely) and Titanic models (in the early stages of the Crusade), and enforce specific Alliances depending on the Crusade Roster, as well as disallowing overlap where it would be a bit strange (No Orks in a roster with T'au), but it allows for Imperium and Chaos factions to 'soup' in their Rosters. And yes, even Tyranids can work with GSC.

There's also a mandated battle size for each phase of the Crusade, starting with Incursion, and moving on to Onslaught towards the end of the campaign. Depending on the interest, I may work something out for Boarding Actions, as well, since every Alliance (in theory) should be able to play them.

I'm really excited for 11th edition 40k, and I think it's going to do a LOT for the game, BUT (dot dot dot)

I don't think it's going to address my primary concern with how 10th edition is turning out, and that's Epic Hero spam. Every single army I see has at least two, sometimes more Epic Heroes, and I'm not just talking things like C'tan Shards where they're labeled as Epic just to keep you from taking more than one.

For example, Szeras, Orikan, Imotekh, and the Silent King all being in a list together. Why? What purpose do you have for these characters to all be on the same battlefield against just some Random DudesTM?

Why is Calgar showing up with Titus and Cato in almost every single game I play against Ultramarines?

What about Guard? Almost every list is going to have Yarrick, Lord Solar, and some other flavor of Epic Hero to go in with the mix, there.

Don't get me wrong, I know this is the definition of 'old man yelling at clouds'. And honestly, I'm guilty of it too, sometimes. Every single Guard list I put together throws Ursula Creed on a squad of Kasrkin, but I always try to make her 'my' Creed, and not just drop Actual Literal Ursula Kreed on the battlefield.

I want to see Epic Heroes matter less in 11th, is all. I want to see more cool character combos, not just "Well this character gives my army +1 CP per round, so obviously I have to bring it."
