Default Neophytes analisis

Neophytes is something particular to black templars, they are pretty cheap and do almost the same as a initiate can do with two weapons, but...

could you summarize the pros and cons of the neophytes

are they worthy of placing in game?

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!

I would get more initiates and go initiate heavy army.

Neophytes are just... if you want to go max 15 man squad.

Otherwise go for more initiates for the power armor.
