against khorne, sadly you are bereft of biggest advantage, namely good assault because they are better... get as much shooting as you can and pray for first turn...

Damian Burger actually i was going to go against khorne and i know i'll have to have an emperors champion but i don't know what else to put in my army.
For example Ive seen mob armies of templars. They focus on shooting and abusing the whole 10 marine 5 scout thing in one squad. Pretty scary when marines are outnumbering you, or when the BT are outshooting you.
A more common BT force is one based on close combat. In that case id reccomend some good 10 man sqauds of templars with close combat weapons and a special weapon. Give them crusader seals or whatever. Go with rhinos, or take the 5 scouts so theyre either moving fast or have numbers for the assault.
The Land Raider Crusader is a good choice as its a great way to move a good HQ unit, its perfect for close in armies, and its fluffy to the army. Id reccomend a Chaplain over a marshall if you only choose one HQ as a chaplain will be better for assaults. And even if you go for a numbers force a Marshal isnt bad, but losing a moral check isnt a big deal to an army that "falls forward".Damian Burger by the way what do you guys think about me adding a chaplain and sword brethren plus an apocethary

Damian Burger does anybody know what to put in a 1000 point Black Templars force.
My brother plays a Khornate army and he has kicked my but a few times. We have played 15 games... and I have only won about 8 of them. So... as I said, it is going to be a hard fought battle. It is a good way to test your strategies though.

if Khorne player is using new chaos codex, no khornate choppas, but 'zerkers get ws5 and furious charge (ouch!)
also terminators with mark of khorne can be very brutal, 3 attacks each, 4 for champions, 5 with twin lightning claws, and 6 with charge... more than most marine characters from "uodated" chapters like BA and DA

I find it rather odd and amusing that Khorne Berzerks doesn´t have Rending
rule.
I mean, they are Berzerks, they SHOULD have Rending rule. xd
But then again, WS5 and Furious Charge is nasty, along with Termies with
puffed up to max of 6 attacks is bad news. O.o"
But so is Death Company with Furious Charge, Rending, Feel no Pain, Fearless and Chaplain with it´s re-roll to hits. gonk
DA´s don´t have something similar unit, maybe just the librarian with Hellfire.
"Oooo, I got S8 and AP1! Whups, I schorched your Berzerks, how do you like that?" rofl
But seriously now, aim to spend points on long range units,
Khorne army will suffer severe pounding, depending on how your
oppoment has buildet his 1k army.
But I would warmly spend points on long range support,
and maybe couple cheap units of Crusaders to work as a meat-shield
againts incoming berzerks, possibly to tie them up for long enought
so that you can shoot them all in your shooting phase. 3nodding

Van Evok against khorne, sadly you are bereft of biggest advantage, namely good assault because they are better... get as much shooting as you can and pray for first turn... against an assult based army, usually the second turn is better. It forces them to expose themselves more to your shooting. Just don't deploy too close to your deployment line in case they have somthing fast.

Damian Burger what about a master librarian?
Turn an independet Khorne champion into a wheeping loser sounds like fun. xd
Oh, how I miss that power that forced the oppoments to throw 3D6 LD´s tests. crying King Kento The Black Templars cannot use librarians or ally with armies that have psychics other than the Inquisition.
"Master Librarian" you see....
Honestly in my opinion, Mephisto is by far the baddest librarian in 40k,
having the ability to use all of his designated psychic powers, psychic hood AND force weapon ability in every turn. surprised

King Kento I dont think he was referring to Ezekiel. hes asking about the Black Templars. Thus asking in the thread about sword brethren. And his initial question as to what he should play in a Black Templars army, to which he got several answers of Emperors Champion.
Where'd you get Dark Angels and Blood Angels from that?
about a character from DA army, and the point that the question was made
after I mentioned DA´s "Hellfire" psychic power.
So far the only librarian character I know who holds the rank "Master" is
Ezekiel, unless he accidently confused "Ebistolary" from regular SM codex
with "Master" rank, in which case I apoligies. ^^"
As for Mephisto, I was just showing my opinion. 3nodding
And the first anwser is always Emperor´s Champion to BT army,
simply because only they have a strick rule that says that they MUST have
an Emperors Champion in presence if the armies total value is bigger then 750ps .
