keep your chaplain for games of 1000pts and up.
with only 750pts and the mandetory champion, you're looking at a minimum of 195pts by taking the chaplain as well! (and that's giving the champ the cheapest vow and not buying a single thing for the chappy!)
however, if you go for a castellan w/power weapon & bolt pistol, you're only spending a total of 181 pts on characters. (again, that's giving the champ the cheapest vow.)
those 14 pts you save get you a neophyte, or perhaps some frag grenades for a large crusader squad...
so now you see the problem with templars at low pts values! that mandetory champion, while very cool and all, sucks because you're forced to take 2 expensive, non-scoring models in an already flawed army list... (space wolf players are in a similar boat, so try talking to a few wolf vets about how they get around the need for mandetory & expensive IC's in smaller pts games!)
cheers!
