Champion Fluff!! ok ok so besides the vows lets hash out some more ideas on fluff no?
i was thinking (and i know this one is possible with the rules and all ... it might be overkill but ) why not make the champ a termi too?.... i dunno that might just be sick huh

Re: Champion Fluff!! From a game mechanics perspective it's a waste of points. Not only Champions artificier armour is as good as the termie armour, but his iron halo gives him way better invulernable (force field) save. That coupled with the fact that termies are way slow make termie champion not really a good choice in TT. That is if he can choose wargear at all (I don't know, I don't own the BT dex).
Re: Champion Fluff!! He used to count as a special character dunno if its the same now? You would HAVE to take him and for small games wasted a big chunk of points so i stopped templars.
Re: Champion Fluff!! The Emporer's Champion does not gain access to any such upgrades. He gets a bolt pistol and the Black Sword, as well as the iron halo and artificer armour. No terminatour armour.
Re: Champion Fluff!! but the champ does get acsess to to the TDA (termi) ive seen it a score of times on several sites (including official ones) i haven seen many models for any templar champs like it but grey knights have some...
but if he comes with artificer armor then i just assume keep it like that... i dont play tt 40k (im shure some of u can tell... with newbish questions and all )

Re: Champion Fluff!! That thing next to the Champion is a Grey Knights Justicar, so basicaly a sergeant coupled with a low-level psyker. And it is not in tactical dreadnought armor, but in power armor unfortunatly.
And the guy's wrong, the champ can't be 'maby terminator'...

Or normal termies. They look spiffy enough to be mistaken for a special character
