The Crusade continues...2000 Black Templars
« on: August 19, 2011, 01:37:38 AM »


Ive never seen anyone play BT at my LGS and they're having a big sale on the BT upgrade sprue so I'm contemplating making a bodies heavy list with a death star hq.

Game plan is the LRC will move up soften up the other side and then assault. AACNMTO will give me a good first assault coupled with the LRC's grenades, hopefully by now the HQ will have deep struck and then clean up.

HQ
Marshall - 175
Terminator Armor
Stormshield
Lightning Claw
Adamantium Mantle

Emperor's Champion - 140
-Accept any challenge no matter the odds

Terminator Command Squad - 232
Tank Hunters
2x CML
1x Chainfist
1x Sgt. PW

TROOPS
10x Initiates - 210
4x Neophytes
-Bolt pistols/CCW
-Meltagun
(EC rides with these guys)

10x Initiates - 220
5x Neophytes
-Meltagun
-Bolt pistols/CCW

10x Initiates - 220
5x Neophytes
-Meltagun
-Bolt pistols/CCW

HEAVY SUPPORT
LRC - 265

LRC - 265

LRC - 265

Total = 2002

What do you guys think? I know I dont have a tele-homer but I cant find the points to squeeze one in.

Thanks.

I feel like you are missing out on the BEST unit in the BT codex: Assault Terminators, you could easily fit them in by dropping the Command Squad and Marshall, and dropping some of the Neophytes.  Im thinking something like this

HQ
Emperor's Champion - 140
-Accept any challenge no matter the odds

Elites
Assault Terminator Squad with 2 TH/ 3 LC FC-215
LRC-265

TROOPS
10x Initiates - 195
1x Neo
-Bolt pistols/CCW
-Meltagun
-Power Fist
LRC-265

10x Initiates - 195
1x Neo
-Meltagun
-Power Fist
-Bolt pistols/CCW
LRC-265

10x Initiates - 195
1x Neo
-Meltagun
-Power Fist
-Bolt pistols/CCW
-LRC-265


This should still give you the Powerful HQ unit (because the EC rides with the Termies, and whie they Technically arent HQ, i would love to see your opponent try to tell you otherwise. 
You also now have 4 LRC's, so your opponent literally cannot stop that from reaching him. 
This also gives you some Powerfists to help you hit Dreadnaughts or tough marines (like GK) and still gives you a neo in each squad to die first.

I find Marshalls and Castellans are just too pricy, when for just a few points more, you can bring an Assault Terminator Squad. 
Imagine the look on your opponents face when you put 4 LRC's on the table, priceless... i might have to make this my 2k and try it out (bye Vindicators  :'( )





It would look something like this!

Rad Pic BTW

So even though the codex says the EC does not use up a slot on the FoC the list is legal?

Yes, he does count as one HQ choice, you can just bring up to 3. 

I don't have my codex with me, but you can check the FAQ for BT, it says he counts.

http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1620223a_Black_Templars_Version_1_1.pdf

It is on page 2.

Q. Can I field the Emperorʼs Champion as my one
compulsory HQ choice and no other HQs in the army?
(p31)
A. Yes, even though he does not use up an HQ slot, he is
still an HQ choice, and so he can fulfil the minimum HQ
requirement.
