Beginner's Guide to the Black Templars: Lore, Gameplay, and Starter Tips | Warhammer 40k 

I've got 4240 points in these guys, and I'm not stopping until I reach 5k! Those are all really great combos! Grimaldus with the PCS can be an absolute menace on the board! I always want my channel and content to be informative, to the point, and honest, especially for new players!

Glad you enjoyed it! You should stay tuned for my next video where I talk about the pricing situation! Templars are my favorite to play out of my 3 armies!

@@MrMulligan84 maybe like a story time video for it? That’s not a bad idea. The Judicar is a crazy good melee unit. I’ve ran him with sword bros a few times and it’s downright mean. Running him with BGV in a defense game tho? Can’t be beat. I haven’t ran my Templars in a hot minute, been mostly playing thousand sons, but I’ve been itching to get them back on the board.

Welcome to the game! Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll be putting out a similar video for Thousand Sons soon!

Glad you liked it!

If I remember right, this was about a 2k list. Combat patrols are a good starting point, but I wouldn’t necessarily stack them. Especially since some units can’t be used with Templars (such as librarians) 2 combat patrols of any size would get you around 1k points give or take. The Templars one isn’t a bad start. The dark angels one is good too, as they’re easily converted and it contains no faction-specific units. Just be sure to have the right bits! Ultimately, it comes down to the play styles you wanna use and the rule of cool. Templars excel at melee combat, but it’s always great to have some ranged shooters and vehicles to pack some extra punch and give your crusaders some cover

@@star.hammer thanks for the reply, it's reassuring the community of this game is very welcoming and responsive to questions :)

@@michaelzephyros7725 always happy to help new players!

Essentially, the traitors lured a bunch of loyalist forces to the planet and then massacred them

@@star.hammer you might need to edit the video, that was Isstvan 5's Dropsite Massacre. Isstvan 3 had the planetary revolt where the Traitor Legions sent down their loyalist elements and then virus bombed them. Isstvan 4 had nothing...

@@SCyberTaz misspoke! Thanks for pointing it out!

It comes with the territory, haha. Glad you enjoyed it!

@@Serbinderbintine number go up. Algorithm go brrr. Brain go mmmmm :)

I'm at work. So sorry I'm all autistic rn. Narrative play is based. And the emperors champion is also my favorite unit.

@@calebhebert2733 Brother, we're all a little autistic here. Actually just made a video on the whole price hike shit if you wanna check it out. I bring up printing your own stuff or buying secondhand as a way around it. BGV have recently became my new favorite non-character unit. Get a wall of those dudes on a point and its just a real pain in the ass for your opponent to get them off.

Do you use leader units on them? Is the ancient worth it to double the oc? What non LT type u it do you also use?

@@calebhebert2733 I usually run a Judiciar with the BGV to give them fights first. The ancient is good for the OC but not much else considering his other ability is only once per game. Personally I prefer the fight first. My BGV are usually moving close to or with the infernus or another shooter unit so the extra OC from the ancient normally doesn’t do all that much for me. As for LT units, castellans are literally the same thing. The only difference is they can’t use a power fist. You could also run chaplains and get a +1 to wound, which against bigger units is pretty nice.

Why? Price increases? They do it pretty regularly and I’m making a video on it here soon I think

@@star.hammer because of woke crap coming into the game, price increases. GW doesn't care about us

@@vashbain3136 oh no! Women can be Custodes! What a nightmare! Women?! In my hobby? REEEE Yea go watch my video about it and you’ll see my take on your stupid “argument”

Female Custodes are fine. I think they're awesome. But we're at the tippy top of a long and slippery slope. Give it 5 to 10 years from now and GW will end up with the same problems that Marvel comic books have had the past couple years.

@@Stormmblade I don’t read marvel so I can’t comment on that
