Well-met brothers, I seek your counsel on a (hopefully) balanced 2k list of Black Templars. Battalion Detachment w/ Warlord (3CP refunded) (Black Templars) - 3 HQ, 3 Troops, 5 Elite, 1 Flyer, 1 Transport Marshal in Gravis Armour - 115pts - Warlord (Frontline Commander, Crusader's Helm) Reclusiarch Grimaldus - 95pts - Litany of Divine Protection, Fervent Acclamation, Litany of Hate The Emperor's Champion - 85pts 10 Intercessors - 210pts - Auto Bolt Rifles - Power Fist 10 Intercessors - 210pts - Auto Bolt Rifles - Power Fist 10 Assault Intercessors - 200pts - Power Fist Impulsor - 125pts - Shield Dome 5 Bladeguard Veterans - 175pts Judiciar - 85pts 5 Relic Terminators - 195pts - Combi-bolters & Chainfists Redemptor Dreadnought - 180pts - Macro Plasma Incinerator - Onslaught Gatling Cannon Primaris Apothecary - 95pts - Chief Apothecary - Hero of the Chapter (Selfless Healer) -1CP Stormhawk Interceptor - 230pts - Las-Talon, Typhoon Missile Launcher 2,000pts, 11CP remaining Scheme of Manoeuvre - Central Thrust: A central mini Black Tide moving up the board to hold the midfield, with the Assault Intercessors flanked by the Autorifle Intercessors. The Assault Intercessors will screen the Fighting Company Command structure: the Marshal, Grimaldus, Emperor's Champion, and Apothecary. Should move relatively swiftly by Advancing with Frontline Commander and Righteous Zeal. Grimaldus will boost the range of the various Auras (Marshal, Apothecary, and Grimaldus himself) and put 5+++ on the Assault Intercessors. Also in amongst this central thrust will go the Redemptor (crucial to keep within range of the Marshal to overcharge the Plasma). - Flanking: Impulsor loaded up with Bladeguard and Judiciar. Making use of Devout Push for a big threat range, Judiciar ensuring the Bladeguard strike first, a nasty combo! - Deep Striking: The Terminators will get early control of objectives or directly threaten the enemy backfield. All equipped with Chainfists so they can clobber tanks, and the Combi-Bolters add to the already significant anti-infantry shooting output. - Tank-Hunting: The Interceptor is geared up for tank-hunting, but can still capably deal with flyers. Any thoughts brothers?

Been thinking about a BT list where the only dakka is pistols and whatever the Dreadnoughts carry with them. Super-aggressive, full assault list. Primaris Captain - 105pts - Sword & Board - Burning Blade - Warlord (Imperium's Sword) Primaris Chaplain - 110pts - Master of Sanctity - Relics of the Chapter (Ancient Breviary) - Divine Protection, Fires of Devotion Primaris Techmarine - 100pts - Master of the Forge - Hero of the Chapter (Warden of the Ancients) 10 Assault Intercessors - 205pts - Power Fist & Plasma Pistol 10 Assault Intercessors - 205pts - Power Fist & Plasma Pistol 10 Assault Intercessors - 205pts - Power Fist & Plasma Pistol Primaris Apothecary - 95pts - Chief Apothecary - Hero of the Chapter (Selfless Healer) 10 Assault Terminators - 430pts - TH & SS Redemptor Dreadnought - 180pts - Macro Plasma Incinerator - Onslaught Gatling Cannon - Storm Bolters Redemptor Dreadnought - 180pts - Macro Plasma Incinerator - Onslaught Gatling Cannon - Storm Bolters Redemptor Dreadnought - 180pts - Macro Plasma Incinerator - Onslaught Gatling Cannon - Storm Bolters 1995pts, 9 CP Plenty of healing from Techmarine and Apothecary. Dreads should also hit like a ton of bricks with Techmarine WL trait. Terminators should be super survivable with 5+++ and Chief Apothecary bringing one back to full wounds and reviving another each turn.

The Crusaders could also be rear objective baby sitters while Helbrecht and Grimaldus join the EC to beat face in the front lines with the terminators out of the LRC. Assault Intercessors are charging out of the Impulsors or rushing for objectives. Ven. Dreads are main AT for the army. The TH/SS terminators are for dealing with elite infantry and close in AT. This list feels very light on AT and higher toughness units, IMO. I love the Bladeguard models and they feel very BT-ish so I threw them in but I'm not sure what they're purpose is. Obviously they are anti-infantry but this list feels very heavy on that. Open to suggestions on them. Also, do I want to drop Grimaldus and replace him with a terminator chaplain that supports the assault terminators? Very open to suggestions for appropriate Litanies and Relic(s). Thanks!
