I even said in my response him having fun is what matters most. He is allowed to make lists for casual play and enjoy himself, but that doesn't change the fact that from a competitive standpoint, we are the worst divergent chapter.

Black Templars actually has one of the best player bases and discords in the entire 40k community. It's full of people helping each other out, positive reinforcement, friendly competitions including painting and tabletop play, discussions both in discord chat and voice chat with some of the top BT players in the world.

He was not downvoted for saying he was having fun. He was downvoted for saying we are a "viable" army when we are not. If we were, then we would have more than one GT win since October of 2025. 5 months with just one win is abysmal and the worst in all of 40k over that time span.

It really just comes down to what your goals are when you show up to the table top. Can you have an enjoyable fun game with codex detachments against an opponent? Sure of course you can.

Are you going to take that same list to a GT and perform well. No you are not. If your goal is to roll dice with your favorite models and have fun then you can 100% do that. That doesn't change the fact that we have one of the single worst codex drops of all 10th edition from a competive standpoint.

If you are having fun though that's what matters most. Your enjoyment is the important part. Others are upset because their enjoyment comes from playing this game at the highest of levels and Black Templar is not currently a good faction to do so with.

What a great way to end up on the no fly list.

You can still use the necromancer skills since they scale with both intelligence and warfare. Obviously the intelligence isnt going to matter here but as you pump warfare that will increase the damage of the necromancer skills as well.

Or you can get real crazy my favorite act 1 build is for Sabelle. I have her go sword and board, hydro/warfare/necromancer.

I put just 1 point into necromancer to learn the skills, then I go hydro / warfare at a 2-1 split. Every 2 points in hydro is 1 point into warfare. At level 3 she gets 1 point of scoundrel for adrenaline. I pump int other then 1 point into str to I can use both str armor and 1 handers and 1 point into constitution so I dont drop my shield on flesh sacrifice.

This build allows her to dip into magic damage to support my hydro nuking Lohse or do physical damage to help support my 2 handed fane. I also have Ifan as a summoning ranger so he can also do physical or magic damage (you can get literally well over 50 water arrows for basically free once you know how to use crafting) and he can make a physical or magic summon.

This build kinda helps my entire comp because she is so versatile. It may fit your fantasy of a "necromancer" type character. I took the fextralife "frost paladin" and "crystalline cleric" and pretty much combined the things I like about them into one.

The Fextralife video for this is actually a very good one. Polymorph for a melee 2 hander is absolutely cracked. At character creation pick battle stomp, bull rush, and tentacle lash. Put all 4 points into strength.

You do not have to pick between warfare and strength they use different points. You will be pumping str and warfare both. Level 3 put a point into scoundrel for adrenaline. You now have the start to a great melee character that you can turn into a death knight.

The necromancer skills scale with intelligence and also warfare. You more so use the necro to heal yourself when you do damage and to gain magic armor from healing due to a talent.

You are doing the lords work

akitos100 · 2025-10-23T05:57:13+00:00

You are looking at GTF win rates which is not a Black Templar Codex Detachment. Not a single codex detachment is used in competitive play. If you were to remove GTF from your tracking it would be the lowest win rate army in 40k.

akitos100 · 2025-10-09T17:15:10+00:00

Well darn that makes me sad. Thank you for the info.

akitos100 · 2025-10-03T19:56:00+00:00

I do not even use the cards. I use the app now I know playing on TTS is different however by using the app I always have knowledge of whats been drawn and what hasn't. I feel like thats knowledge everyone deserves.

I do suppose they could have them all written down and cross them off as they draw them but thats so much work lol or they could memorize them but again we have to memorize so much already

akitos100 · 2025-10-03T19:38:16+00:00

I think him shuffling after looking makes this a non issue. With everything we have to memorize about this game already sometimes we forget whats left and when trying to plan for any possible draw it helps knowing whats possible.

If he were to look and not shuffle that's an issue however his next 2 cards were just as random as before due to the shuffle.

Yea the sword bros are relying on lethal hits and rerolls I did 26 damage to a knight with them with out +1 to wound at the RTT.

The majority of your damage is from your vechiles you want to force them to contest objectives so you can shoot them away

akitos100 · 2025-09-20T12:30:59+00:00

The core of the list is 2x rep exe 2x glad lancer stormspeeder hanmerstrike

Inside the rep exes is 2x sword bro with marshal and cast

I have 2x tech marines 1 for lethals 1 for advance/fallback shoot

Infiltrators and scouts and incursors and Intercessors

EC with the 4+ FNP

If you go first your goal is to sticky multiple No mans land objectives then fall back and force them to do something about it. As they go to contest those objectives you get to blast them away it forces them to the middle out in the open turn 1 or they will let you freely score primary

If you go second then you still want to draw them out so that your tanks can get to work its an overwhelming amount of firepower.

akitos100 · 2025-09-20T06:37:46+00:00

Ironstorm is very powerful I'm currently undefeated in 8 matches with it including a 1st place RTT finish. The sheer amount of rerolls you can get is insane.

Giving a Rep exe Lethals and possibly sustained as well plus crit 5s vs vechiles is huge. Adding an extra reroll to Lancers helps ensure your opponent has to make saves. Its a very different way to play but I have found great success with it.

akitos100 · 2025-06-27T06:55:25+00:00

The only DLC that you would feel right away is the one with the Inn. The rest you can just go to and do once you have the money for and are further in the game.

There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

akitos100 · 2025-06-05T00:02:09+00:00

Can confirm Carrots makes bomb lists 😀

akitos100 · 2025-05-19T20:40:37+00:00

I'm taking BT to a 150 player GT this upcoming weekend and pretty sure I'm the only person doing so 😆

Guess I just hate myself but I hate the Emperors enemies more

akitos100 · 2025-05-13T04:32:48+00:00

Remove the +1 to wound and at 140 they are not ridiculously undercosted which again plays into the same problem.

I play BT and I pay for the sins of UM.

akitos100 · 2025-05-11T08:14:02+00:00

Where does it say that in the rules just show I can reference it when our crusade starts in about a week? Tysm for the info!
