The Black Templars

07/16/08

Armies of the 41st Millennium

Black Templar Rules
Standard Abilities
Space Marines of the Blood Angels Chapter may use all of the standard Space Marine abilities (Rapid Fire,
the Shaken rule, Tech Marines restrictions and repairs, etc.)
Combat Squads
The Black Templars do not subscribe to the Index Astartes lists concerning the organization of troops on the
battlefield. As such, they cannot divide their squads into half, as other Chapters can. This modified squad
level organization is presented in the Squads section of the Chapter, below.
Black Templar as Allies
Unless agreed to before the army lists are chosen, Black Templars may not be used as Allies, and may not
take other specific Space Marine Chapters as Allies.

Chapter Rules
Remember, the following rules are in addition to all other rules which normally apply to Space Marines,
and apply only to Black Templars Space Marines.
Righteous Zeal
Whilst most Space Marines under heavy fire of facing difficult odds in close combat will become Shaken if
they fail a Moral roll, the Black Templars will hurl themselves at the enemy with even greater
determination and fervent anger. If a Black Templars unit ever becomes Shaken, it will use the following
rules instead. The unit will head towards the nearest enemy unit, advancing 2d6" before taking into account
any modifiers for terrain; models equipped with Jump Pack may use them, provided the unit has not
already jumped in this turn. If this movement takes the squad into contact with an enemy unit, the Black
Templars count as making a Charge into Hand to Hand combat. Note that enemy units may still shoot at the
squad BEFORE it moves, if such fire is applicable.
In close combat, Black Templars normally pass any morale checks thy have to make automatically.
However, this rule does not apply if there is an intervention by the Emperors Champion (see below).
Purity Seals
Black Templars characters and Initiates may be given purity seals, at a +2 pts per model (Neophytes may
not be given purity seals). Should a Black Templar with a Purity Seal become filled with Righteous Zeal, it
allows the model to roll an extra die and discard one die of your choice when determining their movement
towards the enemy. Should the model/unit be broken, they may use the extra die towards their rally roll in
the following turn, instead.
Mixed Armor
Black Templars squads often have models with different armor saves. Remember that when dicing
casualties you must take into account the troop type when making armor saves.
Emperors Champion
The Emperor's Champion MUST be taken in a Black Templars army even if both players have agreed not
to use special characters. This model is always and independent character; the Emperor's champion always
fights as an independent character and so my never be accompanied by a command unit.
The Black Sword
The Black sword can be used with one or two hands. If used as a single-handed weapon its treated as a
power weapon with a +1 STR, and may be used in addition to the Champions bolt pistol. If used as a

double handed weapon it counts as being a power fist. The Black Sword does not suffer the usual -1
Initiative penalty if used in two hands.
Challenge
At the start of any Hand to Hand phase that the champion is engaged in combat with a unit which contains
or has an enemy character with 2 of the fight, he may issue a challenge. Do not roll combat for the units
involved! Your opponent must choose a character to fight him, who is also in the same close combat as the
champion (but need not be in base contact with him); the challenge can't be refused. Move the models into
base contact and fight out the close combat between the two normally; no other models may attack the
Champion or his opponent during a challenge. The outcome of the challenge decides the outcome of the
close combat for all parties involved; the side which loses is considered to have Broken, and must follow
the rules for being broken accordingly.
Note that, should the Champion lose, any Black Templar models involved in that fight WILL break, not be
filled with Righteous Zeal!
Vows

50pts
The Black Templars must swear one of the following vows before a battle. Choose which vow you army
has sworn after you've determined the mission but before either army sets up. Vows don't affect Black
Templar vehicles unless noted.

Accept any challenge, No Matter the Odds

Any unit in the Black Templar army must charge the enemy if they are in range at the start of the Hand
to Hand phase, and they must make a follow up move into combat if they win a fight, so long as they
would normally be allowed to do so. In close combat, the Black Templar may re-roll any single die in
each round of Hand to Hand combat (this vow has no effect against vehicles without a WS.)
Neophytes in the unit do not benefit from this vow; if only neophytes remain in a unit, they are not
bound by it. Dreadnoughts in the army are bound by this vow.
Uphold the Honor of the Emperor
The Black Templars are convinced that the Emperor will protect them and refuse to skulk behind
cover like cowards. Black Templar units my not count cover bonuses when being fired upon.
However, such is their faith in themselves that they shrug off even the most severe wounds, so gain a
6+ invulnerable saving throw (or +1 to an unmodified save of 3+ or higher). Neophytes may count
cover as normal but do not gain the invulnerable save.
Suffer not the Unclean to Live
When rolling to wound in close combat, Black Templars with this vow add +2 to their STR roll to
wound in Hand to Hand combat. Black Templars need to summon their holy strength when they attack,
so strike at -1 to their Initiative. Neophytes strike and wound normally.
Be Pure in Mind, Body and Soul
Of all deviants, Black Templar abhor witches and warlocks the most. The faintest sign of heretical
psychic power drives them into a violent fervor. This vow affects all Black Templar units, including
vehicles. If there is an enemy psyker on the table at the start of the Black Templar first move phase,
the Black Templars must make an additional move towards the enemy before their normal movement.
The distance moved is 2d6 " (roll for each unit) and each unit must move the full distance, ending the
move as close to the enemy then when they started, if possible. After this initial surge forwards, units
may make their normal move without restriction. All units count as having covered the full distance
for moving that turn, when resolving their opponents shooting modifiers (vehicles may not accelerate
in the initial deployment, but may do during their normal movement in the first turn). The Black
Templars only get this extra move in the first turn of the game.

Black Templar Wargear

This section lists Wargear which is exclusive to this Specific Chapter; for a list of additional Wargear
available to all Space Marine Armies, see the Space Marine Army List at the beginning of the Codex.
Uncommon
Auto-Launcher
5 pointsSpace Marine terminators only, one use
This is an automatic point defense system, which is loaded before the game starts with either Frag or Blind
grenades. This can be triggered at any time, and will automatically deploy the grenade 6 in front of the
model.
Rare
Conversion Field
10 points
The wearer gains an additional, unmodifiable armor saving throw of 4+. A successful save using the Field
causes a blinding flash; unprotected troops within a radius equal to the incoming weapons Strength in
inches will be blinded until the beginning of their next turn on a 4+ on D6. Blind models cannot move or
shoot and fight in hand-to-hand combat with a WS of 1. Note that only one personal Field may be used at a
time.
Rare
Force Sword
10 pointspsykers only
At the end of the psychic phase, one unused Force Card may be stored in the Sword instead of being placed
in the discard pile. The stored Force Card may be retrieved and used in subsequent psychic phases. In handto-hand combat, the Sword increases the wielders Strength by a number equal to his Mastery Level, and
wounds Daemons automatically with no save possible. The wielder may also expend the stored Force Card
to gain an extra +2 Strength and 2 armor save in hand-to-hand combat. May also be used to parry .
Uncommon
Jump Pack
10 points
Permits the wearer to make a long, powered leap instead of its normal move. A jump can be up to a distance
of 18, reaching a height sufficient to clear most obstacles, vehicles and models. Woods and single-story
buildings reduce the jump to 12. Roll a Scatter Die for the jumping model as it lands; an arrow indicates
that the model scatters D3 in the indicated direction from its desired landing point. If a model with a Jump
Pack has declared a charge, he may move up to 4 after hes landed to engage in hand-to-hand combat . A
model may jump, then shoot or throw a grenade, but it cant use a Move or Fire weapon. Models using
Jump Packs do not receive the 1 to hit penalty for firing at a fast-moving target.

Rare

Common
Purity Seal (Relic)
8 pointsImperium only
Models bearing Purity Seals are immune to Fear and Terror. Furthermore, if hit by a psychic attack, the
model has a psychic save on a D6 of 4+. This does not Nullify the power; you must roll for each model
with a Purity Seal individually to see if it is effected. Note that, unlike other Relics, the Purity Seal may be
taken by any model with the ability to choose Imperium Only Wargear.
Common
Purity Seal
2 pointsBlack Templar Initiates only
Black Templars characters and Initiates may be given purity seals. Should a Black Templar with a Purity
Seal become filled with Righteous Zeal, it allows the model to roll an extra die and discard one die of your
choice when determining their movement towards the enemy. Should the model/unit be broken, they may
use the extra die towards their rally roll in the following turn, instead.
Uncommon
Rosarius (Standard)
10 pointsImperial Forces only
A Rosarius is a Relic fitted with a Conversion Field. The wearer gains an additional, unmodifiable armor
saving throw of 4+. A successful save using the Field causes a blinding flash; unprotected troops within a
radius equal to the incoming weapons Strength in inches will be blinded until the beginning of their next
turn on a 4+ on D6. Blind models cannot move or shoot and fight in hand-to-hand combat with a WS of 1.
Note that only one personal Field may be used at a time.
Uncommon
Scanner
1 point

any Rad Grenades within 24 instead.
Rare
Storm Shield
10 points

be modified and applies only against attacks from the models front 90 arc. Also may be used to parry.
Targeter
Uncommon
2 points
The user gains a +1 to hit with a specific projectile weapon he carries; pick which weapon before the game
starts. Targeters may not be interchanged between weapons during battle.
Terminator Armor
Rare
45 pointsImperium only
This is powered armor augmented by an exo-skeletal lifting frame, and provides a modified save 3+ on
2D6. The wearer may carry a single heavy weapon without penalty. All of the suits are linked, and feed all
tactical data to every other suit on the field, and allow its wearer to utilize the LOS of other models in the
squad. It is completely sealed against all environmental effects (gas, bacteria, flamers, etc.). Because it is so
bulky, the wearer cannot throw grenades; if it is deactivated, its wearer is effectively helpless, and may not
move or fire. Terminator armor comes equipped with a targeter and Power Glove as standard.
