I know that (models being expensive), I just bought the space marine battle box and turned mine into Templars. True they're not the actual templars, but for what you buy in the box you probably save about $70 instead of buying the small teams and individual vehicles. The only ones you really need is the LR/LRC to buy if that is your thing. I have a Rhino, Razorback, LRC, and a Devastator... I think I prefer going in a different direction though. Focusing on infilitration, jump packs, and teleport units supported by small crusader squads with hvy weapon. As for tactics, I'd start by reading the dex and identifying what you like in the Chapter. Then make your list according to what you like and buying that. I am infantry heavy (all with 3+ saves anyway) and accept all challenges for the vow so 3+ always hits. I want my force fast and in your face. It may not work, but this is how I envision the Templars.
