Black Templar Index: Second Draft

[Schlitzaf]

Black Templar Index Astartes

These rules are written with understanding of being in addition those described within “Vigilus Defiant“ and “Faith and Fury”. As a rule set it has a primary focus of building on but not copying.

 

Between Vigilus and Faith, the rules for Templars have covered several bases. Only tbibgs left wanting are, Crusader Bikers, and the last vow (Accept Any Challenge). To this point I have updated an old DIY.

 

New Stratagem:

No Matter The Odds: 1CP

Whenever a BLACK TEMPLARS CHARACTER kills an enemy CHARACTER or MONSTER in the fight phase, you may use this Stratagem. Gain D3 CP. If a BLACK TEMPLAR COMPANY CHAMPION or EMPEROR’S CHAMPION killed the enemy CHARACTER or MONSTER, you instead gain 3 CP.

 

New Relic:

Draco’s Pride; The weapon wielded by the famed Castallen Draco, in his campaign against the perfidy Aeldari. The weapon was rumored to have a machine spirit, whose hatred of the witch was matched only by hatred of the xeno. Draco’s Pride replaces Combi-Melta. When firing the Melta half it will always roll 2 d6 take the highest for damage. And doesn’t suffer the penalty for firing the Melta and Bolter as a single weapon.
