In the grim darkness of the far future, the best planet is made by yourself with the will of Omnissiah.

The more [[Black Templars|fanatical of the worlds]].

They refuse to flee but are hard to kill and don't care about shooting plasma during melee.

<tabs>
<tab name= "Forge World Dogma">
'''Refusal to Yield:''' All units with this dogma automatically pass attrition checks and gain a 5+++ FNP against mortal wounds. That FNP gives you a bit of a security net if you try to overcharge your plasma guns, but the bigger deal is that losing models won't hurt you as hard since you can rest assured that your bots will stay standing.
</tab>
<tab name = "Warlord Trait">
'''Mantra of Discipline<sup>{{W40Kkeyword|tech-priest}}</sup>:''' One friendly {{W40kKeyword|GRAIA Core}} unit within 9" of your warlord can perform Heroic Interventions, moving 6" when doing so. If you've got your heroes as backline shepherds, then you'll find plenty of use here.
</tab>
<tab name = Stratagem>
'''Steel Mind, Iron Logic (1 CP, Wargear):''' When an enemy psyker uses a power within 24" of a {{W40kKeyword|GRAIA}} unit, roll a d6. On a 4+, the power is nullified. Identical to the Black Templars' Abhor the Witch and World Eaters' Scorn of Sorcery stratagem.
</tab>
<tab name= Relic>
'''The Cerebral Techno-Mitre:''' {{W40kKeyword|Tech-Priests}} only. All of the bearer's auras and abilities usable in the Command Phase improve their range by +3" to a max of 9". Considering how much your troops will be depending on your priests, it's only natural that you'd want something that can make sure they can support as many units as possible.
</tab>
<tab name = Tactics>
'''Graia's Vengeful Vanguard:''' Take one or two full sized units of Skitarii Vanguard with Data Tethers, make sure they're close to your warlord (with Emotional Clarity), and see them live up to their name. Your opponents face will drop when he realizes that those squishy looking cyborgs are slightly harder to kill than usual thanks to the FNP ability. Next he'll note that his men are feeling queasy being near your radio-active bucket-heads (-1 on toughness). Those making it to the next shooting phase will find themselves staring down the barrel of a triple shot rifle which your unit has no issue shoving down their throat before pulling the trigger. Your Skitarii Vanguard will be able to shoot in close combat, and thanks to their radio-active aura, will wound most troops on a 3 or a 4. Regardless of whether you're outnumbered two to one, your shooting phase will become a devastating affair. Use the Protector Doctrine for a +2 to hit and enjoy the rerolls provided by your Dominus. You can give your warlord the Omniscient Mask and use the Conqueror Doctrine for a second round of pain in the Combat Phase. In addition; you can consider using the Canticle 'Doctrine of Might', giving your Vanguard perhaps that little push to finish the job.
