40k Army Challenge 2005! - David Verley's Black Templars

Last Updated 10.11.04

I currently have three full armies and one partial, having recently sold off my Tau. Unfortunately, none of it is painted aside from about half of my Necron army. So this is the best time to finish an existing army and to seriously fight off the urge of starting another. Especially since my wife is going to be joining in with her own army. (Her first)

I thought about working on the Necrons, but I'm already trying to finish them in time for the Iron Man IX. (Definately running out of time on that...) I also thought about my Tyranids, but still can not come up with a color scheme that I like for them. So I looked at my other two armies, both space marines. When splitting up the units that I have, the Crimson Fists got the short end of the stick, and I can barely field 1000 points of them currently. I'm much closer to having a completed Black Templar force with only a few more models needed for completion, so they won out.

The List:
Going with the current trend I made an army list and worked backwards.
