Hello. There is a tournament next week at our local store and I wanted some feedback on my list. I want a close combat oriented list for my Black Templar that still has some punch from a far. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The Chapter Master goes with the 11 man crusader squad in the Storm Raven. I'm hoping to use the two vindicators to soften up a area of my opponents army so the Land Raider can deliver the terminators as unscathed as possible while the Rhinos run around objective grabbing. At about the same time I'm hitting their lines hopefully the flyers come in and start taking down threats while delivering my HQ right into challenge range.

Side note, is it worth it to have the Storm Talon escort the Storm Raven? Getting both on the board with a single roll seems nice as it wont split them up, but if they arrive late it's a lot of points not on the table for a chunk of the game.
