we have a regular templar player at astro toronto who does fairly well overall with claiming objectives...

instead of rhinos though, he uses drop pods to place around objectives in order to block LOS to his units! the pods also force a large number of target priority tests, and eventually even with a Ld9 or 10 army, you're bound to fail some eventually! (hell, i've failed three in a row and had to shoot some stupid tau drones - who were pined!!! )

another tactic he's used is dreadnoughts, (again, usually in a drop pod!) placed in front of his marines in order to force even more target priority tests and hopefully again, draw fire away from his vulnerable and tenacious templars!

cheers!
