Games Workshop Warhammer 40k Black Templars Army Set

Product Information

Not only do you get a full 13 models in the box, you’ll also find the exclusive Codex Supplement: Black Templars featuring classic wrap-around artwork – it’s the only way to get early access to their updated rules and background material. This book is, in almost every possible way, a perfect realisation of what Black Templars fans, so long left out of the party as other Space Marine Chapters got dedicated codex supplements and powerful custom rules, have been dutifully praying to the Emperor for for years. It may be a bit biased because of my Black Templar affection but I wish this is still a useful read.

The new stratagems provide a slate of 1CP tools to get your units into close-quarters combat, keep them there, and make them even more deadly in the fight.But that’s just the point: I am the target market for this box – and I positively don’t want or need another Redemptor. His gun arm, however, has a totally flat standard join, so you could swap that out for any given Marine right arm you wanted. After building your Crusaders, you’re gonna have a ton of bits left over to deck out more of your units and add some Templar flair to them.

Naysayers will likely be annoyed that this isn’t a bigger, old-fashioned, multi-pose kit, with more parts – perhaps so you can make loads of Neophytes to bulk out the ranks, or some such fiddly, competitive, min-maxing nonsense; but it’s really not necessary. As for the model, it’s the same one you know and love from 8th edition, with all the options that entails. October’s issue brings gifts from the gods to the primordial Seraphon in the form of a battletome update, including rules for matched play and Path to Glory. That John Blanche Artwork is everywhere, including on an extra, inner cardboard box that now sits proudly on my shelf.

Within its pages are Battle-forged rules that cover Templar Vows and Passions, new Stratagems, wargear, Relics, and a bumper Crusade section – very fitting for the questing knights whose crusade is already eternal.

This is the only previously available model in the box, and chances are if you’re a Space Marine player, you A. Containing 13 miniatures, 12 of which are available for the first time in this very box, this is the perfect place to start a Black Templars army or build on your existing force. The Primaris Marshal (8/10) is a nice fluff-fathiful sculpt that really does feel like a BT alternative to the eternally generic captain choice.And – just as nature intended – whichever combination of the above you choose, one of your Chainsword dudes can swap it out for a mighty, templar-cross-embossed Power Fist.

Your Marshal can have an Autoflamer (Combi-flamer, but based on an Auto Bolt Rifle) or Plasma Pistol in one hand, and a Power Sword or Power Axe in the other – plus a choice of two heads: bare with Helbrecht-style circlet, or bare with rebreather.I’m sure I’ll enjoy having it – but I wouldn’t have bought it on its own, and I rather resent having it included in a box that’s supposed to be launching a brand new army full of exciting new sculpts.
