neophytes add numbers which is the strength of the templars... they do so for cheap, considering that your initiates are slightly more expensive than a 'normal' space marine. they are a source of a cheap 2-4 extra bodies per squad!
their biggest disadavantge comes when you bring the ratio of neophyte:initiate to the 1:1 ratio. mixed armour is a bit of a crutch and a canny player can use it against you... keep your ratio to 2:1 and your neophytes will serve you well!
cheers!
