Something I thought of for fun and to play in regular
40k games, my homebrew army is a Templar descendent.
HEADQUARTERS (HH gets up to 3):
Sigismund, 230pts
the ultimate challenge badass (chapter master stats with +1WS,
EW, +1I on the charge, S6 AP2 sword, reroll charge distance, instant death in challenges, enemy must reroll successful invul in challenges... just sick)
Consul, chaplain,
AA, refractor field (5++), 105pts (chaplains don't come with Rosarius in
HH)
Consul, primus medicae,
TDA, 85pts (a 2W apothecary

)
TROOPS:
Templar Brethren (x8), 250pts (Honour guard equivalent but +1WS and furious charge and all power swords

)
Land Raider dedicated transport, EA, dozer blade,
MM, 285pts
Legion Tacticals (x10), xtra
CCW, srgt with
PF and
AA, 185pts (no special/heavy weapons, but with IF legion they shoot bolters at +1BS! and can elect to shoot twice in a turn)
rhino dedicated transport, 35pts
ELITES:
Legion Terminators (x10), Srgt with
TH/
SS (available to IF) and grenade belt, 1x
TH/
SS, 2x
HF/
PF, 2x power sword/combi-bolter, 4x
PF/combi-bolter, 435pts
Spartan dedicated transport, dozer blade,
MM, 320pts
HEAVIES:
Legion Heavy Support Squad, 4x
MLs with flakks, 205pts (these guys get tank hunters!)
Legion Heavy Support Squad, 4x
LCs, 215pts (these guys get tank hunters!)
Vindicator, dozer blade,
PoTMS, 150pts (hurray for "old school" Templar vindi!

)
TOTAL: 2500 on the dot
So the idea there is to have Sigismund + Brethren + Chaplain in the
LR and the termies + Medicae in the Spartan and have them charge up the field with the Vindi moving 12" and dropping S10 pie-plates. The rest of the army is there strictly for fire support. Now I usually like to play with models I actually have and sadly I don't own a Spartan (I'd have to proxy another
LR) so I was thinking of dropping it, giving the termies the
DS upgrade (IF have access to it) and adding Legion Tactical support squads (think 5-man tacts with 4 flamers stock, and upgradeable to other special weapons), thoughts? Another thing to note about
HH is that space marines don't have
ATSKNF so are vulnerable to Morale/Fear/Sweep tests (imagine a full terminator squad getting swept...
