Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Space Marines (section)

=====Oaths of Crusade=====

The unique Templar Crusade mechanic, ''and it rocks''. At any time outside of a battle, declare an Oath of Crusade. Oaths are made of up to four parts: a Deed, a Foe, a Condition and a Situation. You must take at least a Deed, and if you can do so then take a Foe, and if you have a Foe take a Condition, and if you have a Condition you can take a Situation. In other words, make it as easy or challenging as you like.

Each Oath part has a corresponding reward. You don't get the reward however until the whole Oath has been completed.

Be warned, however. Once you make your Oath, you cannot change it or select a new one until the Oath is completed. So if you're facing reversals or not facing the required enemies, RAW the only way out is to spend RP via the Holy Intervention Requisition. Tricky if you have a very limited opponent pool, so choose carefully.
