Peak-A-Boo! Templars

Hello out there!  I wanted to share a list that I have been tweaking since the codex has dropped.  I have always been drawn to fast, mobile, and/or in your face "tricksie" lists that force reactions from my opponents.  Often its a move they don't want to make or know how to deal with.  So anytime you can alter your opponent's game plan or force decisions, you're in a good place.  So that is the idea behind the list below.  Take a look!

TOTAL POINTS/CP: [2000]/[7 CP]

​Oh, so glorious.  So the thought behind the list is that every unit that can be held back to deep strike does so.  That's a tasty 8 units (944 points) in which to mess with opponents on turn two or three.  That leaves another 1056 points in the army and every single one of them have the Concealed Positions rule.  So no matter what, you will be deploying the vast majority of your units after your opponent does.  Because this is still in the deployment stage, your opponent will not be able to leave their deployment zone with their units and will be forced to place those units blind.  This is a huge advantage for you, as you'll be able to deploy to block their movement, set up kill zones, claim objectives, or help enable charges.  A huge number of tactical plays can be had knowing exactly where all of your opponent's forces will be prior to your deployment.

So what does the list have?  A squad of close combat face wreckers (and their HQs), smaller harassment assault units that double as leadership debuffers, distraction "carnifex" warsuits, and whole bunch of infiltrating troops units for precision strikes with buffs/objective holding.  We also have an alpha strike squad of grav-cannon wielding devastators to eliminate anything we want.  Pretty much everything we need to be successful in a game -- shooting, close combat, and board manipulation.  This list demands responses from our opponents and we are pretty redundant for each unit.  Lots of bodies, lots of threats. I love it.
