Hey guys,
I’ve been playing 2000pt games in a small group of three with two friends. I’m playing Black Templars, and my buddies are on Necrons and World Eaters.
The thing is, I’ve been winning every single game lately, usually by a landslide. Most games are pretty much decided by turn 3 because I’ve cleared most of their stuff or dominated the board so hard they can't catch up.
I’m starting to feel a bit bad about it and I’m wondering what’s going on. Are Black Templars just top-tier right now? Or is it possible that my army specifically counters Necrons and World Eaters? I don't think my friends are bad players, but the games feel very one-sided.
I’d love to get some input on whether I’m just running a "hard counter" list or if the balance is currently skewed in my favor.

EDIT: My friends als also over the point limit!!
EDIT 2: I will fix the issue about the EC leading the bladeguards thanks!!
