Templar Stratagems!?

[4ndroid]

Due to our lack of codex and our single chapter stratagem.

 

I thought it would be interesting to consider what our Stratagems might look like. 

 

 

Additionally a Chapter Specific set of "Zealotry" traits used during the psychic phase would be interesting.

I know this second list of abilities is 'off reservation' but a simple 2d6 test against a unit's Leadership could resolve these techniques in keeping with our lore. 

 

 

Please humbly critique and add your own to the discussion.

Keep them within reason, and consider how we could reach parity with Blood Angel's tactics for instance.

 

Finally, we can email GW with a solid list of dream strats. Never hurts to ask (and get ignored)

 

Here we go!

2CP

A unit that lost models this turn automatically passes its moral test and moves 6“ towards the nearest enemy.

 

:P

[Kierdale]

There needs to be a Holy Hand Grenade stratagem.

 

Perhaps you can spend 1 to 3 CP on it for increasing damage.

Not 4.

5 is right out.

Hilarious! 

 

'Tis But a Scratch 2 CP 

Unit ignores and replaces any wounds or models lost this turn. 

 

I've got Knight's of Roundtable stuck in my head now 

[allegedlynerdy]

One that I'd recommend adding:

 

Purge the Heretic- Crusader squads can always attack the closest psyker if all models fire on it, even if there is a closer non-character model

[Medjugorje]

i would prefer vows as:

 

before the battle starts an emperors champion can swear an oath for 3 CP: choose one of the following vows. It belongs to the emperors champion until the battle ends.

 

1. Accept any challenge, no matter the odds. Each Black Templar Unit within 12" get +1 to hit in the fight phase. If they can declare a charge, they have to and each Black Templar character except a "Ancient" or a "apothecarius" have to make a heroic intervention if its possilbe. Each Black Templar character can reroll one saving throw in the fight phase or can force an enemy character to reroll a passed saving throw.

 

2. Abhor the witch.. Each Black Templar Unit within 12" can reroll any failed hitrolls against psykers and get a 5+ (FNP) against each wound they sufferd against the "smite" psychic power. In addition each throw made by the stratagem "abhor the witch" get +2 on the roll.

 

3. Suffer not the unclean to live. Each time a Black Templar unit within 12" is in the fight phase they can decide to hit at last. If they do so they get +1 for each damage they rolled a unmodified 6+ on to wound rolls and they get +1 to each wound roll.

 

4. Uphold the Honour of the emperor. Each Black Templar unit within 12" get  +1 on saving throws if they are on a object marker or they havent moved.

 

 

EXTRA STRATAGEM: Pray to the Emperor:

- this stratagem can be used just one time in the game. For 2 CP the Vow can be changed.
