Games Workshop Warhammer 40k Black Templars Army Set

Product Information

skeleton on his backpack are fiddly, and I’d recommend painting the backpack separately to the rest of the model as it might make painting his cloak difficult. The blend of classic artwork and new pieces are beautiful, Maxime Corbeil’s Crusade force is downright aspirational, and the collector’s edition cover whips ass. You can also grab two nostalgia-tastic Blood Bowl teams, a new issue of White Dwarf stuffed with rules and articles, and a titanic Black Library novel. This box is absolutely packed with righteous fury, as the unmistakable Imperial Fists successor Chapter puts the ‘grim’ into grimdark and gets tooled up for the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000.

You’ll want to scrape these, as a number of extremely clever little divots are placed just so to make pieces fit flush. For these kits you get: the Emperor’s Champion, a Marshal, a Primaris Crusader Squad and a Redemptor Dreadnaught. It also means you can easily put the leftover melee weapon on a model elsewhere in your army that you want to give more Templar flare. As covered in the Warhammer Community articles, you get a lot of new rules that overlap for both narrative and competitive play. Batten down the hatches, the Siege of Terra series will witness an assault of epic proportions as the god-machines of the traitorous Legio Mortis and the stalwart Legio Ignatum clash at the Mercury Wall.

Sure, it does have some flaws but I’m just so happy to see updated Black Templars miniatures and a codex which really captures the feel of the chapter. The transfer sheet is full of glorious pomp and decoration that could scarcely scream louder the underlying message: ‘the Black Templars are back, baby – and it isn’t just about painting your Intercessor shoulders white any more’.

Inside this month’s issue, you’ll also find heaps of hobby content, a very special Battle Report, and so much more.
