UPDATE! The updated supplements came out not long ago and it has been revealed that the Emperor's champion is now 100 points. The exacrator is 65 points as well and the Crusade Ancient is 45 points to.

I have a daydream of a long forgotten and  undiscovered maiden world with exodites on it. A tau vessel crashes on the planet and out walks commander farsight. The exodites attack the crash site and its a battle scene representing the reveal of 2k army models of exodites. Then at the climax a warp portal opens and the bloodthirster he fought on Arthas-Moloch appears with a daemon focused army seeking revenge for the defeat. Representing a refresh of daemon armies on tabletop. As the video goes to fade away a blip appears on a screen and it pans out to show the inside of an imperial vessel and you see a deathwatch pauldron.

Key point about crusader squads is that the neophytes stay T4 and S4. You will need to roll their chainsword attacks separately and Helbrect's buff only makes them s5.

Giving Damage 3 sword to my Marshal so he can get +3 attacks

With the Fist of the God Emperor detachment you have to keep in mind one thing. You can only surge towards an objective if you don‘t end in enemy engagement range. Surge moves can only engage the surge target. So sad

I play Dark Angels, but I love Black Templars and one of my friends that I play against the most has a Black Templars army. Helbrecht is looking super interesting now, I hope he performs well in competitive play but not well enough to receive a nerf, lol.

They got a huge nerf and a big points increase, still die to stiff breeze

crippled the datasheets and increased the points,dont think my templars are seeing the table this edition

Plenty of new things to play around with. I am however concerned that our points increases are quite high, as we were already struggling.  +15%  or more in some cases which is a huge amount.

Thank you for the video boss, remember for sword bros that they gain +1A with Helbrecht and with marshals Household on a obj. another one so 5A Power Weapons or 5A TH. Thats pretty good tho but if the rumor with the bladeguards is true they might be better

If the rumours about BT leading Bladeguard are true, I might run Helbrect with a Castellan with 6 bladeguard and a Marshal with a Bladeguard Ancient and 3 or 6 bladeguard.

I still don't love Sword Brethren. They can hit hard, but then they die immediately afterwards and Exploit Their Cowardace never really popped up for me.

I'm not sure on what to think on the crusader squad. I don't like the fact that their surge got worse, nor that the neophytes can keep up.

I'm hoping Crusade Ancients and Execrators can lead more stuff now. That's the biggest problem with those two models. I might take the Execrator as a solo model as a cheap skirmish unit now his battkeshock ability improved.

Add EC to a squad of SB with the Castellan. Rerolling 1’s to hit and potentially 1’s to wound too.

My thinking so far has been to replace the Marshal+Castellan+Sword Bros squads with Champion + Sword Bros and Helbrecht + Sword Bros, in Marshal Household Detachment. Giving Helbrecht +2 atacks in objectives annd Champion +1 feels like a strong unit. Plus giving the champion an enhancement from Tacticus Attack force, you could reroll one hit and one woundroll.

Can our heroes lead Bladeguard now?

did i saw it right that marshall gives generally +1 to hit even for Range attacks??

I think Captains and Helbrecht will be best for Sword Brethren

Gutted that the crusader squads didn’t all go to S5. Neophytes really are just extra wounds now.

Did we keep sustained hits on Chainswords and Lethal on our master crafted power swords?

Must be Gillman’s fault. He couldn’t let a
Non-ultramarine chapter B good.
I’m wondering if Templars even get a codex this edition

I think sword bros might be a good skirmish unit as a 4 man with 3 chainswords and a hammer runnig solo… or a 9 man with mcpw and 2 hammers paired with helbrecht
