Is the chaplain for fluff? As I don't see you getting your points off them.

I don't have my codex for refernece, but I believe taking the Chaplain over a captain is a free power weapon and more importantly the Zealot rule for those terminators, all for just losing a single wound on the warlord
Is there something I misssed? Or prehaps would a libby be more worthwhile in that role? (No fluff reasons, but the whole idea did stem from the terminator chaplain)

With units that hit as hard as terminators, I can see why you would want the reroll to hit in assault. Makes perfect sense to me.
