Black Templars Test Lists

Thinking of bouncing back to my Templars for the next little bit. Having an incredibly hard time trying to come up with a list that I like though. I think this is the version I am leaning towards the most.

BT 1750

(HQ) - Emperor's Champion - Accept Any Challenge, No Matter the Odds

HQ - Master of Sanctity (3 wound chaplain) - Artificer Armour, Jump Pack, Terminator Honours, Power Fist

HQ - Marshall (SM Captain) - Terminator Armour, Pair of Lightning Claws
- Terminator Command Squad x4 - 2 Assault Cannons, Chainfist, Sergeant w/ Power Fist, Storm Shield

Troops - Crusader Squad x5 - Lascannon, Plasma Gun

Troops - Crusader Squad x5 - Lascannon, Plasma Gun

Troops - Crusader Squad x10 - Power Axe

Elites - Terminator Assault Squad - 3 TH/SS, 2 LC

Fast Attack - Assault Squad x8 - 4 Storm Shields, Power Fist

Heavy Support - Land Raider Crusader

The biggest concern I see is just lack of bodies. I only have 20 power armour scoring bodies. I'd like to at least buy them some rhinos to hide in but at 50 points a pop (hooray old codex >.<) I find it really expensive. Other than that opening vehicles might pose a problem, but as long as they are not Land Raiders/Monoliths I should be able to melee them apart.

The Tim Tech squad still exists in the BT codex O_O Is it under 100pts?

(that's 5 guys with Lascannon / Plasma Gun)

101 points total.

Don't forget Righteous Zeal makes them act all squirrely though.

I used to be terrified of the Ord. Pen. table in 3rd. There were a number of games that I walked next to transports because of it lol. I don't think I have ever lost a squad to it though, thankfully.

Occasionally they have to charge forward a bit. But its still nice to be able to include scoring units with a lascannon for less than the cost of a dreadnought.

the ultimate downfall of the codex is that its special rules are made for closing and CC. but its units lead you to make shooty lists, haha.

Indeed. Being able to only include one power weapon/fist per close combat squad is horrendous. Although supposedly now they getting a WD mini-dex like SoB got. Dunno how I feel about that.

probably better off with even the mini-dex. you'll probably get to use the C:SM dex with some updated rules and specials.

If they do it right I'll be happy. Even if it just like the old codex Armageddon I would be ok with it. If they suck all the flavor out of it though might have to look at another SM chapter to work on for a while.

Anyone around here play Imperial Fists?
