I assume this is correctly set out (neatened it and attempted to clear stuff up...) can you clarify / fill out the question marks and correct anything I've got wrong.. Crusade Knights
Spoiler:
BG: ??? (If any, fluff is always nice and gives an idea of what and why )
Options: Each Knight may replace his chainsword and/or bolter/pistol with any of the following: Power Weapon +5pts Storm Bolter +10pts Rapier +15pts Storm Shield +15pts Executioner's Sword +20pts Halberd +20pts Thunder Hammer +25pts Pair of Lightning Claws +30pts
Executioner's Sword: The executioners sword is a close combat weapon that on a to ?wound? roll of a 6, the weapon inflincts instant death.
Halberd: A Halberd is a two-handed close combat weapon that grants the wielder +2S but never allows an additional attack for charging.
Rapier: A Rapier is a close combat weapon that grants the wielder +1 Iniative.
What's the squad size? Why would these have rage? I assume that the Executioners sword causes instant death on a to-wound roll of 6?
At 50pts base depending on what FOC they are and how many can be taken I don't see these being a problem.

I think a good idea would be something like you can take 3 as a single Elites choice, like Sanguinary Priests, and when attached to a unit can give the unit different effects to represent different aspects of their Crusades and Vows.
Example: "Unyielding Advance: The Crusaders march towards the enemy without second thought. Withering hails of retaliatory fire that would fell other Astartes does little to halt the onslaught of the Templar attack.
This effect may be used once per battle. The unit gains Feel No Pain and Fleet for the remainder of the turn."
In reference to FOC, it is a stand alone and does not take up a position. the unit strength is 1-5 and for the sword it is indeed to wound. their fluff is "High Marshal Sigsmund appointed the Crusade Knights to be the epitome of Black Templars. Their persicution of Xeno's and renegades knows no bounds and they are exalted by their brothers as they strive to become like them. To others however, they are a group of blood thirsty lunatics whom care not for their own lives or those of others"
Automatically Appended Next Post: And I was thinking of this
Juggernaughts: the fury of the Templar assault , combined with the size and weight of Terminator armour is a terrifying prospect. Indeed such is the sheer aggresion of the onslaught that lesser foes are launched hundereds of feet on impact. On the first turn the turn they charge, the Knights gain D3 extra attacks. If a model with a halberd charges, he only gains 1 attack as normal.

Rapier: A Rapier is a close combat weapon that grants the wielder +1 Iniative.
Then (with the addition of not taking up a FOC slot for this campaign) though I feel it'd prolly be usable elsewhere.
At 250pts for a base squad of 5, and 400-500pts for a kitted troop it's going to be a fairly huge point sink, that won't be too hard to put down and in a 1500 pt army is a quarter to a third of the force. The equivalent in enemy forces will be a large amount of heavy weapons or vehicles.

My current one is 240 pts and I forgot to make the Executioner's sword a power weapon but I'll play test mine this thursday so I can tell you how they fared. Overall do y'all think they're over powered
