Black Templar Index Astartes

New/Update Tactic

Black Templars: Crusaders: Models with this chapter tactic may reroll one or both of the dice when determining charge distance. In addition, models with this chapter tactic that are attacking with a MELEE weapon with a native AP of -1 or greater may make an additional attack with that weapon.

 

New Stratagems:

No Matter The Odds: 2CP

You may use this stratagem when you chose a BLACK TEMPLAR unit to fight in the fight phase. That unit's melee weapons gain an additional AP (ex. AP0 becomes AP-1) for that phase. This does not grant them the additional attack from their Chapter Tactics.

 

Slayer of Champions: 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 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.

 

Blessed Hull of Ludoldus; This Mighty Warmachine, wears the ceramic plating from the first of its kind, the First Crusader, the personal vehicle of Ludoldus and many future High Marshalls. The First Crusader adamantine plating even in its current form has legendary durability. Some say placing it on par with titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus. This relic can be given to a Land Raider Crusader regardless of normal restrictions. Blessed Hull of Ludoldus confers a 4+ invulnerable save.

 

New Warlord Trait:

Sigismund Blade: +1 Damage to one of the bearer’s MELEE Weapon (Helbrecht new required trait)

Crusader’s Faith: Any Black Templar Units within 6” of the header reduces any losses due to Battleshock by half (rounding up), and whenever bearer loses a wound it may ignore on a 6+ [And maybe gain an additional wound] (Grimaldus New Required Trait)
