Personally, id like to see more tanks to be used, or maybe just a whirlwind, or maybe thunder hawks becoming available. Also maybe the addition of hero's outside of Helbrecht and Grimualdus, I mean don't get me wrong there both badass, but it feels kind of lacking. Also i would like to see Neophytes becoming a bit more viable as a option rather then just a meat shield, maybe giving them infiltrate, with snipers, or melta bombs (Not Really) thats all i got for now, so some input from you all would be excellent.

Also, Infiltrate on Neophytes isn't happening either, because they're part of the Crusader Squads. You're not going to be allowed to infiltrate a massive blob of Space Marines and their squires, and since Neophytes aren't fielded independently that's a no-go too. Thunderhawks aren't happening any time soon either. Whirlwinds should already be in the book, but GW took them out because ketchup.

I also vehemently oppose the title "Rise of the Black Templars". "Rise" requires the Black Templars to have been down, after all!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696482.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696482.page GMT Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696564.page GMT Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars,
Whirlwind might happen, but even if it did i doubt it would be worth taking. honestly if i was playing a templar player and they asked to use one from codex marines, i'd let them, their loss.
Thunderhawk, no way. Stormraven, maybe.
Special characters will happen, guaranteed.
Neophytes should remain in crusader squads and shouldn't be viable on their own, scouts are scouts; they should support the marines. tops i could see them becoming like the dark angels scouts which if iirc have marine statline excluding armor.

Overall, I wouldn't be too excited about these changes if they happened.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696567.page GMT Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, in addition to shooting down the OP's suggestions?

Personally, I'm not knowledgeable enough about the tabletop meta-game to put fourth any real suggestions, but I'd like for the Black Templars to be more viable as a melee army and less as a gunline, as the fluff says they are.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696588.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars,
@almighty walrus, My bad wasn't sure where to post this, saw the wishlist for the guard codex so thought i was good, also, i meant like specialized Neophytes, you know like sneak in knife some people and die, i don't think i meant thunderhawks, i meant stormreavens and as @sekai said, ....Ketchup? and also "And no matter how far we fall we will rise higher each time."

@Joetaco, I will concede i thought it was better then the vindicator, but i was wrong, as i said i meant stormreaven, and hoping on special characters, ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696963.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3696963.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, Vehicle points in keeping with the rest of the chapters (like no more 50 pt no vehicle wargear rhinos)
Sword Bretheren with more decent options, perhaps even allowing them to be attached to Crusader squads as 'advisors'
Actual Sword Bretheren command squads that reflect the feel of the BT rather than vanilla command squads
CC dreads.... really only the BA get them when the BT are really the CC themed SM
Use of the Baal, Redeemer and other vehicle variants....since everyone else stole the Crusader why cant we steal back
Some type of heavy support squad that perhaps has more special weapons per marine since the BT arent devastator happy
Keep the mixed Initate/neophyte bike squads, those were cool
Perhaps an troop choice that is somehow in between Sword Brethern and Cruasder squads
I would say a rhino vairant/upgrade that would allow them to disembark and assault, but then every marine chapter would have to have it and it would be rhino rush all over again for everyone
Keep the option to attach Chaplains everywhere. .. that is really nice]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697221.page GMT Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars,

Man, I hope they dont give stormravens to the Black Templars, sure stormravens are cool, but they dont really fit the whole crusader feel of black templars, also it would be weird if they give all the new space marine codices stormravens now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697260.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, GW not letting Templars have whirlwinds; we had them in 3rd...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697703.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, I'd accept a Stormbird if we can't have thunderhawks

I concur with everyone else that said so as well. As far as the Stormraven goes, they're really fun to use, but I don't see them fitting in with the BT style. I'd just like to see us get special rules and incentives to use land based assault vehicles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3697753.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, CS, just pile them in with a chaplain and a indie marshall, and you have one very angry group of templars, the devastators sound good too, can never have enough lascannons,

@remulus, i know what you mean, but i feel that if it can be used in a armed transport sense, never have that vehicle punching ability, but the ability to get your crusaders across the map real quick with out being to exposed to artillery, etc.

@almightywalrus, Ah, gotcha now,

@movac, now that first part is just not nice, some constructive criticism would have been nice however,]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3698373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3698373.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, BT as it would be quite use ful and imo the SW one works well.

Heavy D3 Whirlwinds.

My idea for the weapons is not so much devastator style, but more like IG special weapons squads, and perhaps give them the advantage of any special weapons they use gaining assault for its rules. Also with the Sword Bretheren, especially for the command squads, how about allowing any termies to take power weapons instead of power fists, make them a bit more rapid strike. You could even give the Sword Bretheren special power weapons along the lines of the old Black Sword, perhaps an upgraded power weapon that would increase ST by +1 or +2, but you could forego all other attacks and it could be power fist style, or maybe a +1 to ST but if you use it double handed (no bonus for 2nd weapon) it would be +3 instead, not quite PF but not bad as it would still be based on I.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3703922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3703922.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars,

Also being able to assault from drop pods would be sweet, I hate landing down next to a big enemy squad for them to pop their head out the pod to get shot to pieces]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3758414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3758414.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars, http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3758621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3758621.page GMT Warhammer 40k: Rise of The Black Templars,
Secondly- The assault rhino or similar, I would absolutely love the BT to have one, but it'd be hard to keep it all of their own.

And for God's sake, why not give out more stubborn for the BT's?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3759673.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/417849/3759673.page GMT
