Ok so I have sat down and had a read through the Codex from cover to cover a fair few times and have read the FAQ's again and have come up with this for my first Crusade

HQ: Emperors Champion: 110
Abhor the Witch

HQ: Castellan: 355
Terminator Armour, TH/SS, Warlord
4 x Terminator Command Squad, 2 Cyclones, Tank hunters

Troops: Crusader Squad – 150
Initiate with Meltagun
Initiate with Multimelta
3 Initiates with Bolters
Rhino

Rhino

Troops: Crusader Squad - 90**
Iniate with Meltagun
4 Initiates with Bolters

Fast Attack: Land Speeder Typoon - 70

Fast Attack: Land Speeder Typoon - 70

Total 995 Points

**this is the squad that I am the least sure about, was considering dropping them for another Land Speeder Typhoon and throwing 25 Points into something?

Looks good, and I am looking at that lone squad with the meltagun. It wouldnt be a bad idea to swap that meltagun out with a ML and have it sit back and camp on the objective to provide one extra ML shot alongside the Typhoons. But a third typhoon would be good as well....

Thank you that sounds like what I was looking for

NP! I think that list has a lot going for it and I even wouldn't mind trying it out.

Thanks, it really was a struggle to fit in everything that I wanted at this small points range, hopefully I'll be in a position to have all this assembled and painted after xmas readyf or some games

As a side note, is a Templar Drop Pod list still a viable build in 6th edition?

For a short while we had Termie Command Squad in pods with the updated drop-pod assault rule which was pure awesomeness (TH/SS wielding Marshall, TH/SS sgt, 2 assault cannons, 2 PFs dropping in your face with accuracy on turn 1!)

Now a BT pod army does not offer anything new compared to a vanilla pod army, but it can still be done.

Cheers for that Phoenix, was thinking about larger scale games and what i want to buy when I expand
