Steel Templars

[Sceadwe]

OK, first off, I have no plans for a full IA. I've had the idea, but a full IA is a little daunting at the moment.

 

So, I've got some basic ideas and would appreciate any pointers.

 

The Steel Templars are a successor of The Black Templars (Duh, really?)

 

Fleet based (increased mobility, no homeworld to defend, greater variety of recruits)

 

The chapter is split into 10 crusades. Each crusade has it's own fleet (Strike Cruiser and escorts). The 'home' fleet is composed of the chapters 2 battlebarges and escorts, plus whichever crusade is currently rearming. 2 crusades are present at all times. So the homefleet is always at least 2 barges, 2 cruisers and escorts.

 

My force will be based on The Relic Crusade. This crusade has been given a sacred task. To reclaim artifacts lost in battle over the centuries. Drostans Lance, The Hammer of Worlds, The Armour of Chapter Master Kemble, the list of relics to be reclaimed now numbers over 300.

 

On the table, I'm using a Vulkan He'stan counts as, his twin linked melta and flamer weapons rule translates quite well for a 'Die heretic! Fire and Death to the unbelievers!' kind of chapter. Also, the fluff for Vulkan He'stan inspired the 'questing to reclaim chapter relics' idea.

 

So, there it is, very basic outline of my chapter. I know I've not given you guys much to work with, but any corrections/suggestions etc are welcome. Also, any suggestions for relics would be interesting to see. My naming convention is Celtic/Scottish. So no greek/roman/asian etc names.
