So I decided I would finally post up the list I created a while back, shortly after the Death From the Skies supplement was released.  The list has done exceptionally well in its games, having similar results as my BT/IG hybrid Templarbubble list.  I think this list plays pretty straight forward, at least if you've already seen the analysis I've already given on the Templarbubble.  Charge forward as quickly as you can with your EC-led Assault Terminator squad, with the rest of your forces laying down fire support.  Advance right behind and/or to the flanks of your force with the Vindicators and blast away.  The Stormtalons are there for AA defense, but they can do a reasonable job at both AI and AT with the Strafing Run rules.  If you have questions, pop them my way.


HQ:
* Marshal {Warlord} w/ Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, Terminator Armor, and Tank Hunters; 1 Terminator Command Squad Sword Brethren w/ Storm Bolter, Power Fist, and Tank-Hunters; 2 Sword Brethren w/ Cyclone Missile Launchers, Storm Bolters, Power Fists, and Tank-Hunters; 1 Sergeant w/ Power Sword, Storm Bolter, and Tank-Hunters. [375]
* Emperor's Champion w/ Black Sword, Bolt Pistol, Armor of Faith, and the Vow: "Abhor the Witch, Destroy the Witch." [110]

Elites:
* Sword Brethren Terminators: 7 Assault Terminators w/ 4 Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields & 3 Pairs of Lightning Claws. [280]

Troops:
* Crusader Squad: 5 Initiates w/ 3 Bolters, 1 Plasmagun & 1 Multi-Melta. Mounted in a Rhino. [146]
* Crusader Squad: 5 Initiates w/ 3 Bolters, 1 Plasmagun & 1 Multi-Melta. Mounted in a Rhino. [146]
* Crusader Squad: 5 Initiates w/ 3 Bolters, 1 Plasmagun & 1 Multi-Melta. Mounted in a Rhino. [146]

* Crusader Squad: 5 Initiates w/ 3 Bolters, 1 Plasmagun & 1 Multi-Melta. Mounted in a Rhino. [146]

Fast Attack:
* Stormtalon Gunship w/ TL-Assault Cannon and Skyhammer Missile Launcher.  [125]

* Stormtalon Gunship w/ TL-Assault Cannon and Skyhammer Missile Launcher.  [125]

Heavy Support:
* Vindicator w/ Demolisher Cannon and Storm Bolter.  [125]

* Vindicator w/ Demolisher Cannon and Storm Bolter.  [125]

Total Points:  [1849]



Obviously, this is a list tuned for 1850 points.  It is even pure Black Templars, for those that prefer that over the use of allies.  That seems to be where the GT scene is going, to avoid the farce that is the double-detachment at 2000 points.  I guess it doesn't matter to me all that much, but I will admit, it is sometimes hard to pull 150 points from my 2k lists.  Anyway, if you're going to a 2k event and you'd like to try this list, simply add an identical 5th Crusader squad and give one of your CML terminators a chainfist.  That should give you exactly 2k points.

What does the list currently feature?  2 Skyhammer Missile Launchers, 4 Missile Launchers (Tank-Hunters), 4 Multi-Meltas, 2 Demolisher Cannons, 2 TL-Assault Cannons, and 4 Plasmaguns.  A good deal of low-AP weaponry, in both AT and AI format, plus the normal AI weaponry.  As a note, I opted for the Stormtalons over the Stormraven primarily for redundancy reasons.  While I still believe the Stormraven is a better flyer, it comes at a fairly hefty price tag and two flyers is often better than one.  Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy!  ;)
