So, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm contemplating a Black Templar army. I have a huge hate on for most of the SM chapters and have played Chaos since I first started 40K for mostly fluff/model reasons but the thoughts of painting another red themed army has dulled my ambition to play Word Bearers. I still think they are one of the best Chaos legions, but I already have a huge World Eaters army (like 6000 points).
My problem is do you think with some of their outdated rules (like 4+ inv save storm shields and no drop pod assualt rules) and their overpriced transports (50 point rhinos with no smoke launchers or extra armour) that they could be a force to be reckoned with on the gaming table?
I love their color scheme and fluff. They can still field units with Veteran skills which make their Terminators and Sword Brethern terrifying. And the ability to have a whole army with Preferred Enemy has to have it's advantages.
But do the pros outweigh the cons? Could it compete with the more modern SM codexes? Or would I be throwing my hands in the air in frustration? What do you guys think? I'd really love to hear from some Templar players too! :victory:
