With the claws going to AP3 and there being no I bonus from Furious Charge anymore LC Terminators generally aren't worth it. I'd also replace the Storm Bolter on your Chaplain with a Power Fist or Thunder Hammer.

Your 10-man melee squad isn't going to get anything done ever. I'd suggest looking into getting a Drop Pod for them to let them get somewhere without having to walk all over the board.

As a final note, you don't have Eternal Warrior on your Chaplain, you have immunity to Instant Death from double toughness. Boneswords and similar weapons still kill you instantly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5580019.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5580019.page GMT Re:Black Templars, Need help with tyranids

yes i forgot to mention that eternal warrior mantle... I actually have it Thanks for the advice on the drop pod. Will look up for it at store]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5583392.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5583392.page GMT Re:Black Templars, Need help with tyranids IMO the BS change and venerable rule isn't enough of a bonus.
A group of 5 Tactical terminators with 2 Cyclone missile launchers can hunt MC all day long and will really help against nids

you should also think about target priority, what do you send the vindi's after?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5583509.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5583509.page GMT Re:Black Templars, Need help with tyranids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5584170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5584170.page GMT Black Templars, Need help with tyranids BT take 3 HQs in one FOC? If not, that's another problem.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5584194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5584194.page GMT Black Templars, Need help with tyranids HQs.

BTs have the cheapest Typhoon land speeders, these would help a lot to thin out hordes or shoot some kraks in MCs.

Also, as mentioned above, termies with dual CMLs or dual ACs would help as well.

Almightywalrus point about dual relics is true as well, you might as well just have a regular Marshal in artificer or termie armor for a similar point cost.

Terminators are a waste against Tyranids if they are utilizing MC or warriors, as they both ignore armour (provide the warriors have boneswords). Even against the swarm Terminators have a hard time as the sheer number of attacks that can hit will overwhelm even a 2+ save. (A squad of just 10 Hormagaunts hits 30 times on the charge, and only costs 60 points.) You can take twice as many tactical marines then terminators and bolters will carve through more 'Nid then thunderhammers ever will. You may also want some kind of flyer or anti-air because an FMC will ruin your day.

(I don't play BT, I play Tyranid and these are just some of the things I have noticed.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5584219.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525019/5584219.page GMT
