Question about my Black Templar army.

[MadGamerAK]

Hey there. So, I have a growing Black Templars army and wanted some advice on some units for it. Right now, I have a Black Templars combat Patrol, Chaplain Grimaldus and Retinue, and Legion of the damned squad, and a rhino. I am usually fighting, Orks, Space wolves, Imperial guard, Aeldari, and soon Custodes, any advice on good units to buy that would work good against the majority of these armies?

Welcome to the Eternal Crusade!

 

What size games are you going to be playing? 1k matches or the standard 2k matches?

 

Just from what you mentioned here are some units that I'd consider adding to it.

 

1. Marshal Helbrecht

2. 2 boxes of Sword Brethren (You'd have 10 sword brethren)

3. Gladiator Lancer

4. Emperor's Champion

5. Additional Primaris Crusade Squad box*

6. Intercessors box* (they got as nice boost in the new update, they have sticky objective control, not too expensive either, they can kill infantry with their shooting)

7. Redemptor Dreadnought (or a Ballistus Dreadnought, depending on if you want/need more fire support?)

8. Hellblasters box (great fire support unit!)

9. An additional Impulsor*

10. 2 boxes of jump pack intercessors 

11. Big tank, either a Repulsor, Repulsor Executioner, or the variant of Land Raider you prefer (Standard, Crusader, or Redeemer?)

12. Primaris Lieutenant to build as a Castellan (our version of a Lieutenant), or the Black Templar Castellan kit?

 

* Actually I'd consider a second Black Templar combat patrol and that would remove #5, #6, and #9.

Thanks, from what I have learned from playing my Black Templars I was thinking about the same kits you mentioned. I am also going to buy the Black Templar Bayard model (as the price keeps going up on it.) I would also be interested in buying some sort of long-range sniper type unit.

Can I play the Kill team scout squad in my Black Templars army and is there any long-range sniper units I can buy for my Black Templars army?

Yes and Yes. 

 

Look up Space Marine Eliminators. They are a three man sniper unit. Also you could get a Vindicare Imperial Assassin? He's a sniper, not a space marine, but expensive points-wise, and tbh I think you'd get more from the Eliminators.

Thanks!

Just got some Sword Brethren for Christmas and just ordered Primaris Eliminators and an Emperors champion.

Can't go wrong with those choices! With the Eliminators read their special unit rule, because if you choose to equip the "sergeant" with a carbine bolt rifle they get a movement ability albeit at the cost of one eliminator sniper rifle (2 are built with sniper rifles, while one has the carbine bolt rifle). I built all three of mine with sniper rifles, but sometimes I think I would have had one with the carbine bolt rifle? I mean you can always "proxy" it and tell your opponent one has the carbine and point out which specific model, but it's always more fun to have them modeled as they are equipped imo.

 

They can also be equipped with las-fusil rifles, but then you loose the ability to snipe (precision) characters with them?
