We know how the year has been for Black Templar, especially starting it off with me vainly trying multiple variations last year to try to get some kind of list functioning. In the end, having drifted to a BT/IG list that would have required buying, building & painting a bunch of vehicles (above & beyond) those that I had already bought in anticipation of 6th...I bailed out to my Necrons. I was actually tempted to play them again since I already had a proven list variant from last NOVA and to field it would require two vehicles sitting in boxes on my shelf. However, with the recent supposedly dead on accurate rumors of the smurfing...errr...."fixing" of the Black Templar by rolling them up into the Codex of Ultramarine Compliant Chapters, this might be my last shot at running Black Templar that are in at least shouting distance of playing like the fluff.
1x Castellan, TDA, SS, Pax, Bionics, Auspex – Tank Hunter [130] 1x Terminator Cmd Squad (3xSB/PF, 2xSB/PF/CML, 1xSB/PAx/SS/Auspex) – TH [325]
1x Crusader Squad (5/1, Lascannon, Plasmagun, 4xBP/CCW) [111]
1x Stormtalon w/ SWML [125]
1x CO Cmd Squad (4xSniper) [70]
2x Ratlings x 3 [60]
2x Plt Cmd Squad (AC, 2xFlamer, Chimera, Plt Ldr: BP) [214]
4x Inf Squad (AC, Flamer, Chimera) [480]
1x SWS (2xMeltagun, 1xFlamer) [60]
2x HWS (1xAC, 1xMortar) [135]
1x Vendetta w/ Hvy Bolter Sponsons [140]
Total: [1850]
Plenty of dakka, the Ratlings do count as a high perceived threat so they draw a lot of early fire, minimum the stray fire that would be plinking away at my other targets. Ten scoring units, so there is plenty to grab stuff with. There is an oddity, as I was packing, I was printing out sheets and noticed something odd. Thinking I'd forgotten to add in the 6 points for Tank Hunter for the two extra Terminators, I quickly checked my math, thinking I was short points. Behold, dyslexia to the rescue, my 332 point TDA squad was actually supposed to be 323..ouch. Without pulling out models, trying to figure out what to change, etc.; I simply went with adding in the Bionics and the two Auspexes.
