BloodWolves Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Im wondering how do you defend against Psykers and smite (I know FaQ helped weaken this) but other Psykic spells? Other than just Abhor the Witch and of course blade and bolter to the Witch. Is there allies that would be recommended to take or something?

JAG Templar Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Sisters of Silence? Culexus Assassins? Inquisitors? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348507-defense-of-templars-and-ik-against-psykers/#findComment-5113113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodWolves Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Could I do a Battalion of Black Templars, a Patrol of Grey Knights and Aux of Imperial Knights? What would be the most cost effective way to add psyker elements to protect the knight and templars?

Marshal Wolfhart Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The only psykers Black Templars would not slay on the spot are Inquisitors and Grey Knights (and even there some of our more zealous brothers would make exceptions). Don't you dare sully the honour of the chapter! You could build the aforementtioned army, but i don't think you'd get a lot of toys to play with, given how expensive GK and the IK would get. I'd look into assassins (culexus) for a single model, that is cost effective and shuts down psykers. Otherwise you'll have to bite the bullet and drop ~350 pts on a single GK HQ and a strike squad for 2 attempts to deny.

CantusMaximGloria Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 A supreme command detachment of Grey Knight HQs would also suffice as each would give you more denial as well as access to more powerful warriors. You could also grab Greyfax from the Gathering Storm series of characters as she has two chances to deny.

Schlitzaf Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Are you trying to stop smite spam or key powers? Power wise Templars Strategem is alongside the dozens of other 4+ Strategem Denials one of best denials in the game simply because most other denial abilities favor the foe. Smite Spam large squads, and transports able to tank wounds or small MSU Squads. Trying to counter smite pyskers is a fools errand. For the most part.

Marshal_von_Speer Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 In the next few games of my escalation league I'll try sniperscouts to keep enemy psykers at bay. The other option (allies aside) is our exclusive strategem, which is expensive and one use per turn only.

Medjugorje Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 against lots of smits you can take culexus assassines or putting cheap rhinos in front and use the Stratagem 5+++ against psyker attacks...
