The Theme - with Dedicated Transports being able to Objective Secure by themselves, I'm making a Black Templars army largely for the sake of their Land Raider Crusader Dedicated Transports.

++ HQ ++

Chaplain w/ Melta Bombs
95 points

++ TROOPS ++

Crusader Squad (dedicated assault unit)
10 Initiates replacing Bolters w/ Chainswords, 1 Power Sword
Land Raider Crusader w/ Multimelta
415 points

Crusader Squad
10 Initiates w/ Bolters
Land Raider Crusader w/ Multimelta
400 points

Crusader Squad
5 Initiates w/ Lascannon
90 points

++ TOTAL: 1000 points ++

My plan is as follows. The Chaplain will ride with the dedicated assault unit Crusaders to take the forward-most objective. The second Crusader squad operate more like a normal Tactical Squad, but in a LRC instead of a Rhino, and take a mid-field objective. The LRCs, after delivering their respective squads, can go hunting the opponent's units, grab other objectives, block paths...or just reinforce their squads. The final Crusader Squad is for the back-field objective.

Looking forward to your feedback, thanks guys.

Multi melta on the initiate squad I don't like because they're not relentless and thus will have to set up to fire after they get out or snap fire. I would take a regular or combi melta or nothing. If your goal is close combat then maybe a power weapon or at least melta bombs would be a better call. Other than that looks fun unless scarabs or something else blows up the land raiders.

Good feedback, I've changed the Multi-melta. [EDIT - I now pooled some points with a Flamer and turned it into a Power Sword.]

I am concerned about Necrons, Eldar, and I think Tau in particular. My local meta doesn't have any Land Raiders as far as I know, so I got no frame of reference.
