Great thread! I will come back for more for sure!

Although, I still like my assault termies with FC. Can you talk a little more about this, and why its not the best choice for them? I normally run a MoS with them (dual claws) and a combo of TH/SS and LC. (most of the time 3 LC, and 4 TH/SS with the MoS, he is the other set of LC.)

Also, I never know where to put my marshal. I always take him, but typically run a termie command squad, and put a SS on him for the 3++ for the squad. Then I equip my SGT the same way, storm bolter, and SS. I only do this for that inv portection.

I am going to play a 1999+1 point list this friday, DP heavy. I havnt played with DP yet in 6th. So you have to start with something on the board, correct? Then bring in half of your reserves(rounding up). So I was thinking of at least 5 pods, 3 on the first turn.

Cause I was thinking of doing all DP/ Deep strike list.

Updated? Youll have to explain this?

Drop pods are dedicated, so they dont count toward your reserves or something? I am not a hardcore gamer by any means, so I am always brushing up on rules.

Ouch... I did not catch the consildate move one. The last BT player I went up against never did this. I called him out on in, and tried to prove me wrong at all cost. I just let him do his thing.

And yes, somebody loves us out there enough to keep the Typhoons they way it should be. We need some type of advantage.

Damn, I just ran a drop pod list on friday with terminators, it was against necrond tho. I got spanked.

I still need to tweak my list around. I am thinking of running a Black Tide agian since pods are fun, just hard to play. As soon as you come in your going to lose one squad to shooting, or have there crappy units assault you, tie you up, and lose that unit any ways. I am having a hard time making a list that is "assaulty orientated" as by playing for fluff.

Any recomendations for a good and true Black Templar assault list?

Also, on a side note for all of my Templar battle brothers....

Whats the best flyer for a Black templar army to use? (this could be an ally/ or forgeworld flyer.)

Thats a very good point with the bikes. But wouldnt you want AAC with pods/ assault units? Your Abhor would only effect your bike unit at the "scouting phase" of the unit. So its a cheaper VOW, but only that one unit would benefit form it.

No, you want it on the units that will do the most damage...that would be the bikes + characters. There is also always the possibility of a squad of assault marines as well

I just dont see an extra 6" of movement on a bike squad, and maybe an assault squad worth it when your running drop pod assault. Although if your dropping in, you may not get the carge in for the assault, and negate your +2 rage attack at the same time. Its a dobule edge sword imo.

I am just really mixed on how to run my army lately, being let down a lot by my Templars. I drop in, get spanked, use my black tide, have the "long table edge deploymnet setup". Just seems like I try mixing it up, and never get anywhere.

I will have to start running bikes more often. The last few times I ran mine, they were the first kill point off the table, they rarely get a shot off, even when moving flat out at 36".

Maybe I just have bad luck when playing? lol
