Regarding Templars;

My image of black Templars has always been Mr T. For the record its nothing to do with skin colour.

Generally my vision is "I pity the fool who defies my Emprah! I pity the fool, I do I do! I pity the fool who is a Xenos scum!"

In direct relationto the eschewing cover.

The scene is Armeggeddon. BA and BT are working a joint strike force, hding behind a wall while Lootas blast away. BaA begins a firefight from behind the wall. Mr Templar: "Ain't no one got time for that fool! Eat snickers, get some Nutz! Aaarrruuumm!"

Actually, it proves nothing than the fact that you don't really see what the Land Raider Crusader represents.

It's nothing more than a short ranged assault transport. The provide no covering fire whatsoever, lacking the Land Raider's long range firepower. It's designed to get up really close, then shoot a bunch of ammunition off while the Doritos inside charge out. This isn't really the concept of covering fires in the traditional military sense. It's simply a short range suppression instrument. The Crusader itself lacks any ability to engage enemy armor or deal with entrenched threats on the approach. The philosophy behind the LRC is that is is hopefully tough enough to get up close.

Ultimately, the LRC doesn't demonstrate any grasp of combined arms doctrine. It was just an adaptation for the Black Templars to stuff more dudes into a Land Raider. The classic LR is superior in almost every way, in terms of assault transport design. It has a strong, intermediate range anti-armor capability, as well the ability to provide suppressive anti-infantry firepower at both close to medium range. The LRC is a specialized close assault platform, nothing more.Understandably, the BTs own regular LRs too. But the idea that the LRC was some kind of demonstration that they were able to adequately replicate the maneuver warfare doctrines of the Codex Astartes is silly. If combat just always occurred right up close, that might make a difference. But on an actual battlefield, you have to adapt to conditions that might not conform to your ideal. In that case, the Black Templars, under their old list rules, stand at a disadvantage due to their lack of flexibility.


You said the Templars lacked covering fire. The LRC is a line-breaker tank, built for the sole purpouse of keeping the enemy down with suppressive fire while it delivers the unit inside into the fray. You generally don't use anti-tank weapons for suppressive fire last time I looked. Even if we're not counting that they've still got Predators, Stormtalons, Stormravens and Dreadnoughts that support their armoured spearheads. In fact, the combination of Land Speeders, Bikes and armoured elements described on page 9 of Codex: Black Templars contradict the claim that the Templars are somehow inferior at manouvre warfare, as the armoured spearhead is listed as one of two preferred ways of fighting of the Templars. In fact, the very core of the Black Templars preferred combat tactics match the overall modus operandi of the Space Marines in general and manouvre warfare in particular; Drop Pod assaults to strike at the enemy lines of command before they can react is pretty much a textbook example of manouvre warfare.

Hit and run attacks. They won the space war for Armageddon with it. Or just do something else that they're perfectly capable of but don't specialize in, just as the White Scars use Terminators when they have to, or the Ultramarines create Tyranic War Veteran Squads. You don't have to be completely incompetent in one field just because you specialize in another. They're still Astartes.

From a Message Conversionation with 40k Radio:

Q: Which Chapters are we missing Chapter Tactics on?
A: You have all of them, but not the full extent of the rules (Zion's Notes: I'm waiting to get a little clarification on this)

Q: Could you give us a summary on how this SC restriction works exactly?
A: The SC only work for their Chapter. For example, Telion can only be in an Ultramarines army.

Q: Is there a way to take SCs in another army (for example, a homebrew or in an army that doesn't have Chapter Tactics?).
A: The only way that can happen is if they play Ultras and use their CT, but you paint them Blood Ravens. You have to match the SC to the CT.

It's fairly hilarious that people thought that it was any other way to begin with, all because of one awkwardly worded response to a question.

Especially since before that answer, they had said that SCs were linked to CTs, not to paint schemes, lol.

No. No one needs to apologize for discussing the rumors as they were given to us. If anything the people who were flying off the handle and acting like they were being attacked and even launching accusations of how "we were misinterpreting the rumors" and so on should be apologizing for wearing their bums as hats instead of waiting for all the facts to come in. No one should be faulted for only dealing with the facts on hand over the facts that may exist.

Well Chapter Tactics AND Chapters. They specify in the second question that they SCs are linked to their chapters.

Frankly they need to work on their communication skills because there have been a few problems like this that have come up because of poorly worded answers.

That's right, we don't have the full story on the UM Chapter Tactics.

I kind of want to guess perhaps it's once per game?

That was my guess the first time it was mentioned (I think around page 132 I first posted it). Possibly even as a bubble effect from a Captain/CM. Perhaps having bigger bubble/multiple effect from CM? Blanket rerolls to hit for tactical all the time was NEVER going to happen.

I seriously hope you get nerfed, no because I think marines are op or anything, I just don't like a lot of the players. In my experience, marine chapters spent all last edition beating xeno's into the ground, and when they finally get some love, they're cheap and OP. I see a lot of bitching about new xeno stuff, I think because there no more auto win button against the new ones. A lot of marine players would rather believe new xeno's are OP then learn to play game.

Yes, but didn't they also say that Kantor and Lysander cannot be in same army without allying? Which is weird. Game-wise IF and CF are the same chapter as they have the same chapter tactic. And if you can ally with a chapter with another chapter with identical chapter tactic, then it effectively means just extra FO slots.

I feel you BT. I know thine kamf, and I'm actually happy for you. Even if the new codex nerfs Ultra marines, your army can only get better. I also have nothing specifically against vanilla marine players, we don't actually have on in our group.

Though I'm pretty mad about loyally playing Farsight enclave last edition dreaming of a new codex, when I finally get one no one wants to play me because "Doubling up on plasma is the cheapest thing in warhammer." And when I stop doubling up on any weapon, over watch is cheap. And when I give up my usr, markerlights are dumb. There is no end and when battle suits become troops, there is hopelessness.

Nope not at all, already said I don't think your codex's are cheap. I'm complaining about the mentalities marine players have about other armies. I think marines are balanced, the problem I had was that xeno's were not. Now that GW is balancing all the codex's, I think a lot of marine players are surprised and upset that they have to learn to play the game better. I want marines to get nerfed so they know how it feels, not so i can compete. Again, BT doesn't apply, neither does SoB.

So you played a really old army with a codex that was not great in its first iteration. You built up years of repressed anger and frustration by getting beat down by almost any army out there and now that you have a good codex with some really strong options you want everyone to stay weaker than you.

That sounds like a fair trade.

No, this is the third time I'm saying this: Marines aren't cheap. Xeno's used to get hammered. Now that Xeno's have a fighting chance, all people can do is complain about anything they get is cheap and op. My gripe is with those marine players that relied on the forgiveness of marine armies to win games instead of playing well. And how unfair it is to bitch every time you lose a squad to a new xeno's codex. I want you to get nerfed because I want you to know how it feels to actually be nerfed. Then maybe these people would understand what they are bitching about.

Thank you for telling me that I don't know how to play well. That makes me feel really good right here *points to heart*. I started with marines because I liked the idea of Drunken Werewolf Space Vikings (that's how Space Wolves were sold to me). I didn't win every game, but I did okay with my Ultramarines (switched to them after being accused of being a "dirty bandwagoner"). I've yet to win a game with my new wolves that I'm building in the prevalance of these Xenos armies. I'd like my tactical marines to be cheaper points wise, that way I can probably survive more than a turn or two of shooting with my invalidated 3+ armor since plasma, melta, las, etc... is so fething prominent in this edition.

How about instead of saying that you want marine players to get nerfed so we can know your pain (blah blah blah), we all wish for a fething balanced game so people can enjoy playing space MAN DOLLIES without anyone getting butt hurt over cheese and OP options.

Nope not at all, already said I don't think your codex's are cheap. I'm complaining about the mentalities marine players have about other armies. I think marines are balanced, the problem I had was that xeno's were not. Now that GW is balancing all the codex's, I think a lot of marine players are surprised and upset that they have to learn to play the game better. I want marines to get nerfed so they know how it feels, not so i can compete. Again, BT doesn't apply, neither does SoB.


Yes, I am a marines player and I am very surprised by the reaction. Any other codex that gets an undate the response by the majority of the players is yes! Marine players on the other hand feel entitled to have things their way, I want it all. I want to use every special character, I want to use this chapter tactic with this character, the new rules makes my fluff invalid. I know people fear change but where is the excitement, I cant wait to get my Imperial Fist limited edition codex I like the rule changes but these other players are killing my vibe.
