I currently purchased a talons of the emperor and a burning of prospero box. but i wanted to go pure black templar but am thinking maybe i can do inquistion


So something like A sword brothers unit 2 sisters of silence and run 3 acolyte 6 acroflagellants and an inquistor in a rhino, maybe swap to a priest for the acros

an imperial knights and nemesis dread knights plus 2 contemptors with assassins


Was wondering thoughts or if people knew some essential units to take in a close combat focused army like this]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9419021.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9419021.page GMT Making a black templar army that works CC buffs. The Cenobyte servitors are a good choice to keep models from breaking via Battleshock too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9419905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9419905.page GMT Making a black templar army that works
And there's never a reason not to take the servitors. You don't need to take grimaldus to include them, they cost almost nothing, and give a massive buff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9420069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9420069.page GMT Making a black templar army that works

Templars can run their scouts as cheap chaff, and no longer need equivalent amounts of neophytes. So you can run 5 marines and stick ten scouts in the squad, who are just as good in every way but have -1 to armor saves and 2 points cheaper.

Well, small point games where you only have two elite slots (Patrol or if you run one of the specialty detachments) might leave you feeling cramped since they are Elites.

You can alternatively run MSU Crusader squads (a classic option is Las/Plas squads with a combi weapon or pstol, in this edition likely either grav or plas) if you don't have a lot of bodies.

Personally I am building my Crusaders to run 4 Initiates (1 Plasma, 1 Heavy Bolter, 2 Chainsword/Bolt Pistol), 1 Sword Brethren (still on the fence about his wargear, going to crunch some numbers regarding Helbrecht's Crusade of Wrath buff to help decide or just fold and give him a lighting claw or two because finger knives are still quite good...though a Thunder Hammer also looks good as it's bascially a 3 damgae powerfist).0, and 5 Neophytes (3 with Bolters, 2 with Combat Knives/Bolt Pistol). It balances melee and shooting give them a fair shot at hitting a unit reasonably well in the shooting phase and then punching them to try and help finish them off in combat.

Alternatively a Grav Cannon might be a fair trade for the Heavy Bolter. -12" range, but better AP, +1 shot and it does multiple damage to models in power armour or better (so against tanks, marines and the like).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9420149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728166/9420149.page GMT
