updated black templar codex

Codex: Fire, Steel and Zeal

++A Continuation of Codex: Eternal Crusade++

-Model by Captain Hat

To live is to sin To serve is to repent

Much of this homegrown codex is a continuation of Codex: Eternal Crusade, which

was part of the Codex Leveling Project run by Brother Tyler. The Project aimed to

bring the codex into line with the 5th Edition SM codex. What I've done here is to

build on that platform and try to adapt the Black Templars fully to 5th Edition. I've

tried to keep lots of character in this and added some fun stuff in.

Reclusiarch The Reclusiarchs of the Black Templars are formidable warrior priests, living vassals

of the Emperor's Wrath. Their faith and zeal on both on and off the battlefield is an

inspiration to their brethren. It is said that the Black Templar's chaplains are the most

zealous in the Imperium and such a claim does not seem particularly far off the mark.

The Reclusiarchs are the elite of the Templar's Reclusiam, each of them a veteran of

numerous crusades and actions against the witch, mutant and impure. The Reclusiam

of the Templars also serves a similar role to that of Librariums in other chapters, a

place where the history of the chapter is enshrined and battles recorded.

Retainer Augustine

The Sword Brethren Retainer of the High Marshal holds a unique position of power

within the Black Templar chapter. He is responsible for maintaining the Household of

his master, acting in his master's stead while he is otherwise busy and monitoring

others under the High Marshal's command. This often places him away from the High

Marshal. Yet the High Marshal's Retainer has additional duties. At the death of his

master, it is he who oversees the trials of strength, cunning and organization among

the candidates for High Marshal. When the new High Marshal takes his office, the

previous High Marshal's Retainer hands his role to the new retainer appointed by the

new High Marshal. The old Retainer has a number of options for his future. It is not

uncommon for him to become a Marshal himself or to undertake a suicidal campaign

to repent for not having died by his master's side. Augustine has acted as Helbrecht's

Retainer since the death of the previous occupant, Adalric, in 991 M41. Augustine

wields two flamers, the better to purge the souls of the witch and the xenos.

Cost: 160 Points

Marshal Nikademus

Nikademus commands one of the largest current crusades of the Black Templars, the

Nerad Crusade. Tasked with the extermination of the burgeoning alien empire of the

K'Nib, Nikademus has already retaken five systems from the xenos. This is mainly due

to the mastery of naval combat that Nikademus possesses and the devastating orbital

drops the crusade has perfected against the alien's crystalline settlements. Nikademus

has lead his Household and crusade into battle by drop pod many times during the

crusade, laying waste to the multi-armed xenos across their own empire. Nikademus

wields both thunderhammer and powersword in order to deal with the xenos' various

warrior castes.

Cost: 185 points

Grimaldus 5 5 4 4 3 5 3 10 3+

amendment to the Special Rule 'Only in Death does Duty End'. Instead of the rule as

outlined in Codex: Black Templars, it simply confers Eternal Warrior upon

Grimaldus. Grimaldus may not take a command squad.

Chaplain Veerschelt

Veerschelt is one of the youngest chaplains in the chapter but already has forged a

reputation for himself. Although his ferocious conduct on the battlefield is known of, it

is for another reason that his name is spoken of throughout the chapter, namely that

Veerschelt is a psychic null. Where Veerschelt walks, the witch trembles and their

powers fail them. He has already been gifted the use of Terminator armour and has

served in Helbrecht's Household during the Reclamation of Mirvak, where his powers

proved extremely useful in combating the threat posed by a concave of rogue psykers.

Cost: 185 points

The Marshal's Household For every Marshal selected, you may take one Marshal's Household or one

Terminator Armoured Household. This includes Marshal Nikademus.

When a Marshal goes into battle, he surrounds himself with his Household, the Sword

Brethren. Armed with the best of the Crusade's weapons, this unit guards their lord

from all harm. It is these marines that are trained in the use of the chapter's

Terminator armour and utilize it to deadly effect on whatever battlefield they find

themselves on. It is also typically from within the Marshal's Household that any

Castellans are chosen from. These marines are the heart of the crusade and provide

inspiration to their brethren with their actions on the battlefield.

walked out alone from the space hulk, Bringer of Woe, where over twenty-five

Terminators, the whole of the Marshal's Household and Marshal Tancred himself,

boarded with the intention to destroy the hulk. Every marine battled with the foulest

horrors in the galaxy, each Astarte taking a score of enemies with him when he fell.

Marshal Tancred fell against a Broodlord and its alien bodyguard, slaying the

Broodlord with his final breath. Varrikan took up Tancred's blade and led the

survivors onwards into the hulk. Only Varrikan survived the mission, teleporting out

of the hulk as the plasma generators reached critical point. Varrikan swore a death

oath in front of the rest of the crusade, vowing never to rest his blade until his death.

Since then, Varrikan has gone from crusade to crusade, seeking the most fearsome

enemies and deadly situations so that he may finally find his rest.

One Crusader squad in the army may add Brother Maynard at the indicated points.

During the Templars reclamation of an abandoned chapter keep that had been

overrun by Hrud, Brother Maynard recovered Marine Artificer Antioch's long-lost

Book of Armaments from among the inner rooms of the keep. As the Orbs of Antioch

built in the last millennia had been made by artificers simply copying a previously

built one, the design had gradually deteriorated until without the proper handling, the

Orb proved as dangerous to friend as to foe. With discovery of this relic, the safety

and deadliness of the Orbs was restored. In gratitude for Maynard's perilous feat, the

Marine Artificers ensure that he is never unarmed against an enemy by gifting him a

Holy Orb every time he should need one. Maynard is surely being watched by

Marshal Trop and it may only be a matter of time before he finds himself raised into

the Marshal's Household.

The Nex-Gero pattern Razorback

The Nex-Gero pattern Razorback was developed in the depths of the forgeship,

Arcadia. Adapted from some of the same schematics that gave birth to the Land

Raider Crusader, Techmarine Malak's creation was armed with a Hurricane bolter

turret. First seeing battle in the Arginian crusade against the Orks in 975 M41, the

initial design proved superior to many of the other Razorback variants in an anti-

infantry role, especially within the close quarters of the hive world. The design

quickly spread among the chapter, often supplanting the popularity of previously

preferred designs. The Templars have had few requests for the design from other

chapters, perhaps because of many chapters' distrust of any Razorback, let alone one

conceived within the last century.

Rhino

This Land Raider Crusader was the first one ever modified by by Simagus. The

ancient Land Raider is said to have first seen battle in the Scouring in the aftermath

of the Horus Heresy and it was only with High Marshal Lodoldus' personal consent

that Simagus went to work on it. The changes wrought proved successful and within a

month, the Jerulas Crusade was concluded successfully. Its machine spirit is said to

be one of the most ancient servants of the chapter and as such, the Crusading Wrath is

treated with great reverence by the chapter. Since the Jerulas Crusade, the ancient

warmachine regularly continues to participate in Crusades.

on any mistakes I made.

Finally, to my number one helper, Marshal2Crusaders, thank you. You were my best

ideas springboard and suggester. Your help was invaluable in the production of this

codex, it would not be half as good without your input.
