Top takeaways:
Master Artisans may indeed be split into a hit and wound selectionNo apparent super doctrineCore restrictions abound2CP to give +1 to hit to 10 CORE models probably means big unrestricted strats are going to die horribly
What else seems interesting?
Parent Chapter
Ultramarines
Chapter Tactic
The Bond Martial
Each time a model with this tactic makes a melee attack against an Infantry or Biker unit, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.
Each time a unit with this tactic is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one hit roll when resolving that unit’s attacks.
Relics
Armor of Zanaris
Primaris model only.
Each time an attack with an Armor Penetration characteristic of -1 or -2 is allocated to the bearer, that attack has an Armor Penetration characteristic of 0 instead.
Each time the bearer would lose a wound as a result of a mortal wound, roll one D6: on a 6+ that wound is not lost.
Banner of Echoes
Primaris Ancient model only. Once per battle, in your Command phase, the bearer can use this Relic. If it does, until the start of your next Command phase, the bearer gains the following ability:
Banner of Necthis (Aura): While a friendly Silver Templars Primaris Core unit is within 6” of the bearer, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in that unit.
Warlord Traits
Accomplished Duellist
At the start of the Fight phase, if this model is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can fight first that phase.
Each time this Warlord makes a melee attack, if it made a charge move, was charged, or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn, you can re-roll the wound roll.
Precision Commander
In your Command phase, you can select one friendly Silver Templars Primaris Core unit within 6” of this Warlord. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time that unit is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one hit roll and you can re-roll one wound roll.
Spiritual Synergy
Select one weapon this Warlord is equipped with (excluding Relics). Each time this Warlord makes an attack with that weapon, an unmodified wound roll of 6 inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage.
Stratagems
The Swordsman’s Strike: 1 CP / 2 CP
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a Silver Templars Primaris Core unit from your army is selected to shoot, or in the Fight phase, when a Silver Templars Primaris Core unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack against a Character unit, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll. If that unit contains 5 or fewer models, this Stratagem costs 1 CP; otherwise, it costs 2 CP.
Claim Runes: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a Silver Templars Primaris unit from your army is selected to fight. If, when it was selected to fight, that unit was within Engagement Range of an enemy unit containing more models than itself, then until the end of the phase, each time a model in that Silver Templars unit makes an attack:
Add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.
Improve the Armor Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

I don't think that's how it works based on that wording. It doesn't say there's any limit to the number of units that can benefit. Its only restriction is "once per battle". So if you have two eligible units within 6", each is "a friendly Silver Templars unit" and would get the buff.

Still not good news for Banner Bearers that were already marginal and one of the first things cut for points. You get +1 to one of the most worthless stats in the game, when killed you get to shoot, potentially a lot, or fight once. Half the time. Now your Relic is a Use Once while Sun Pistols and such are a Use All Game Long extravaganza. Automatically Appended Next Post: Precision Commander
In your Command phase, you can select one friendly Silver Templars Primaris Core unit within 6” of this Warlord. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time that unit is selected to shoot or fight, you can re-roll one hit roll and you can re-roll one wound roll.
So....
if you don't have a Captain/Lieutenant...
or if you have a lot of units that break off of a Captain/Lieutenant after starting the turn within 6" but not remaining within 6" during the shoot fight phase.
Technically you can reroll more than 1's, you can even reroll successes.. but you see what I'm getting at here? This feels REALLY limited compared to the Beatstick warlord trait.

They're a declared successor chapter of the Ultramarines. Which means their superdoctrine is the Ultramarines superdoctrine.
Was there really an expectation that they'd get a codex supplement level rule just for showing up in Conquest/ WD?

This. I have no idea why people expected them to get anything unique in this regard.
Also, I like how this literally who chapter got hundreds of times more effort put in their rules than worthless garbage Blood Ravens did

Oh... its bad. All of the relics and warlord traits are just worst versions of the normal Ultramarine stuff. Look at the banner, the ultramarine one gives +1 attack all the time AND fearless all game vs just +1 attack once per game.
Spiritual synergy is the same as paragon of war except it randomly excludes relics. Claim runes is good though.
is this an indication of the new codexes actually bringing a big nerf to marines?

Also because Silver Tenplars were used as a bonus draw to get people to subscribe to Conquest last year and Blood Ravens weren't. Blood Ravens have never had their own Codex Supplement and this is basically just an update of the one put out for Conquest for a wider audience. At least the White Dwarf Blood Raven article had more thought put into it than the Raven's original Index Astartes article.

Hah. I copy pasted and I glossed right over them being UM successors. Staying up too late working of these days. Automatically Appended Next Post: footfoe wrote:is this an indication of the new codexes actually bringing a big nerf to marines?
If they're keeping their free AP and super doctrines, they probably should take hits. We already saw Salamanders losing their hit reroll so this just further confirms MA getting split up, which is great.

Thats even worse. Nobody would take that over the constant benefits the other Relic Banners give.

It bugs me that they are a chapter with 'Templar' in their name and even have prominent yellow in their heraldry but are not Imperial Fists successors.
EDIT: Apparently I was confused and this thread was about Tome Keepers and not about Silver Templars...
