I'm participating on the Challenge Board at my FLGS and just happened to win my first round, which means I need to expand my 1000 point list to 1250 for the next tier. I'm using Black Templar Chapter Tactics.

My 1k list:

[HQ]
Captain, bolter, relic blade (bolter because it's the model I have)

[Elites]
Dreadnought multi-melta, storm-bolter

[Troops]
Scouts (5)
LS Storm (H. Bolter)
Vet Sgt w/ Power Weapon, Melta Bombs
4x Scout w/ Combat Blade

Scouts (10)
Sgt w/ Bolter
9x Bolter
1x H. Bolter (w/ helfire shells)

Scouts (10)
Camo cloaks
Sgt w/ sniper rifle
9x sniper rifle
1x missile launcher

Crusader squad (9, currently joined by captain)
Drop pod (storm bolter)
Sword Brother w/ Melta bombs, Grav pistol and power sword
2x Initiate bolt pistol & chain sword
1x initiate plasma gun
1x initiate bolter, power fist
4x neophytes bolt pistol, cc weapon

[Fast Attack]
Scout bikes
Sgt. w/ combi-melta, locator beacon, melta-bombs
3x Astartes grenade launcher
3x TL Bolters

I'm pretty happy with this list (lots of reasonably resilient, scoring models)

For the next 250, I was thinking of dropping a few sniper scouts (they look really good, but aren't as effective due to BS3) and adding:

5x Assault terminators w/ TH&SS

Upgrade Captain to terminator armor, Burning Blade & SS.

What's nice right now is that my deployment phase has me place my dreadnought on the table and the deploy everything else using infiltrate/scout, so even if I go first I get to react to my opponent's deployment. With the captain in terminator armor joining the terminators, I get a tough-as-nails CC unit with a sgt to soak dangerous challenges while the Captain murders the squad, or the captain to eat lesser challenges while the squad murders (and effective against most light vehicles).

If I do this, I'll likely put the dreadnought in the drop pod and let the Crusader squad (w/ an additional neophyte) footslog towards a midfield objective.

Thoughts? Other ideas?
