Hey folks, wanted to get a templar list analyzed and whatnot before an upcoming tournament if anyone would be kind enough to help me correct anything I might need to correct.

Hq:
Emperors Champion - Accept any Challange 140pts

Elites:
Assault Terminators x5 - LC's x3 - TH/SS x2 - Furious Charge x5 215pts
in LRC 265pts
Venerable Dreadnought - Twin Las - Tank Hunter - EA - Smoke 153pts

Troops:
Initiates x8 - Bolt Pistol CCw x6 - Melta Gun x1 - Bolt Pistol Powerfist - Neophytes x2 - Frag Grenades x10 183pts
in Rhino - EA - Smoke 58pts
" Same as above "
" Same as above "

Total: 1496 pts

Basic Templar rush list with the emperors champion riding with the terminators and dreadnought laying down the fire with the twin linked lascannon

I feel like the list is lacking in the anti tank field though and the terminators are a bit much at this point level but ive always had great results with them.
Thoughts?

This is a chaos space marine list without the obliterators.

You need a long range attack to cover the advancing troops. Fearless st4 troops is asking for trouble. I think they are my main two concerns.

Take 3 preds with machine spirit and/or typhoons which can keep up and shoot. Your dread will be left behind and is not adding much.

Right couple preds then thx =)

Re-done List

Hq:
Emps Champ - AAC 140pts

Elites:
Venerable Dreadnought - Twin Las - EA - Smoke - Tank Hunter - Searchlights 164pts

Troops:
Initiates x8 - Frags - Melta gun - Pfist - Bolt pistol & CC W x 6 161pts
Rhino - EA - Smoke 58pts
" Same "
" Same "

Heavy Support:
Predator Annihilator - Las Sponsons - Searchlights - POTMS 176pts
" Same "

Now then dropped the terminators all together and threw in preds (tri las)
and if my math is correct im sitting on about 1313 pts of templars
ideas for improving the list? I dont own any land speeders and my Local gaming shop
wont have any till the day of the tourney (no time to put them together)

Maybe a marshal?
A regular MM dread?
Assault squad?

All my CC BT list have 3 Vindicators w/ POTMS granted you are only playing 1500 while i normally only play 2000. I would suggest dropping the Perditors for 2 Vindicators w/ POTMS & EA you will then be able to move with the rest of your army (full 12in) and still be able to shoot. I would also drop your Dread for some Landspeeder tyhpoons they will be mobile and can last minute contest objectives. your list might look like this then.

EC AAC 140

Troops x 8, PF, Melta Gun, Rhino, EA, Smoke launcher 211
Troops x 8, PF, Melta Gun, Rhino, EA, Smoke launcher 211

Landspeeder Typhoon 70

Vindicator, PotMS, EA 165
Vindicator, PotMS, EA 165
Vindicator, PotMS, EA 165

With the extra points included another Vindicator. With this list you will be able to move 12in and still be able to shoot.

Note: Make one of your Initiates a bolter this way you can delegate PF/PW wounds to him
