break point, make a morale check as normal. However, if the check is
failed the Black Templar detachment must immediately charge the
nearest enemy unit within LOS. The detachment may only be given
charge orders until it "rallies" and must always charge the nearest
enemy unit.

Instead, the neophytes as they are called are taught the skills of
war by their full-fledged brethren. Each Black Templars tactical
detachment has two neophyte stands and a rhino and each bike
detachment has three Neophyte bike stands as additional troops. The
neophytes have the same stats as space marine scouts but they may not
infiltrate.

chosen and inspire their brothers to ever greater deeds and sacrifice
in the service of the Emperor. A Emperor's Champion must issue a
challenge if a enemy HQ or character stand is within charge reach in
the movement phase. Both stands are moved to base contact and a close
combat is fought in the CC phase as normal. If there are more than
one eligible stand the Black Templars player may choose which one is
challenged. The challenge may not be refused and no other models may
attack either the Champion or his opponent.

Challenge.

Why the Terminator save? He doesn't wear Terminator armor... let's
give him a simple 6+ fixed save and bump the CAF to +6 to compensate
this.

Marines mounted on bikes get generally one more point of CAF, so IMHO
+2 CAF for this unit is better.
