Black Templars Combat Patrol Box: $140 (Rumored) It would also make sense for them to put this out with the first wave so current BT players can upgrade. Let’s just hope it’s not too expensive because you might have to grab a few of them. With all the heads, shoulder pads, and weapons, this can take your existing force pretty easily into the new book.
INSPIRES MIRACLE BOX MOD UPGRADE
Honestly, this is a pretty decent upgrade kit, you can even use it to turn marines into Neophytes. Outfit any Adeptus Astartes squad with custom pauldrons, cover your Assault Intercessors with honorific ribbons, and equip a Repulsor with a multi-melta – a weapon that the Templars favour for its ferocity.
INSPIRES MIRACLE BOX MOD FULL
To represent this look across all of your army, you can get your hands on an upgrade frame packed full of details you can add to your regular Primaris Space Marines. If we had to put money on it, we would bank on these being in the second wave of releases for the Templars. These guys look like they are ready for some serious crusading and with so many options, this kit will be super fun to build and paint up. This looks like a really big upgrade compared to the old set and the with the number of different bits they show, we expect this to be a beefy kit, and probably expensive. This elite squad can wield a diverse array of melee weapons, including thunder hammers and lightning claws, to beat and slash some faith into the most formidable opponents. The Sword Brethren have also had an almighty glow-up. We expect this to also be its own release, but we’re not really sure where he will fit into the launch waves. Here we have the Castellan – effectively a fancy-pants Black Templars lieutenant – based on an inimitable piece of Black Templars art, providing a radically different look to your average Space Marine thanks to his skeletal pauldrons, all that piping, and the unconventional armour design. They did a great job with him and he really looks ready to lead your crusading forcing against the enemies of the Emperor! Just like with Grimaldus, he might be released in the 2nd or 3rd wave to carry the hype. They definitely kept the feel of the old model and just updated it in both size and detail for the new edition. The new Helbrecht model faithfully reimagines this classic piece of atmospheric artwork, with the Chapter Master of the Black Templars standing triumphantly over the body of an Ork, the fabled Sword of the High Marshals lodged in its chest. New 40k Black Templars Helbrecht KitĪmazing, right? All jazzed up in his artificer suit of Mark X armour, he looks every bit the no-nonsense crusader that we know and love. They always need a strong character to carry the release. Unfortunately, we’d be a little surprised if this was in the first wave, just looking at how they’ve done releases in the past. He still has plenty of relics, seals, and skulls everywhere! Black Templars are really going to be one of the first armies to more or less go all Primaris. The new mini is pretty sweet and they really just took the old sculpt and really updated it. After months of intense fighting, the survivors fell back to the Temple of the Emperor Ascendent where they held the Orks at bay until the building itself collapsed around them. Grimaldus earned his title during the siege of Helsreach, when a millions-strong Ork horde fell upon the hive city. They are sometimes useful on the tabletop depending on the army’s rules, and the contents of the cards themselves. Judging from the Orks release, there will be an actual collector’s codex for sale as well that will be worth collector’s pricing unlike the Army box alternate cover one.Ī ubiquitous offering that has gone up in price and down in quality over the last few years for sure. The codex art will be different for the book when it comes out but obviously, it will come out in the first wave. Most things from the Orks Army box were also in the first wave and GW will probably also release this along with the BT combat patrol in a single release week as that’s all that missing from that box compared to the launch one. If the Orks release is anything to go off, we expect this to be in the first wave. This is a Chapter that does not mess around. Plus who doesn’t love them a tactical rock too boot!Įmperor’s Champions also wear the Armour of Faith and an Iron Halo, artefacts of such sacred power that the Black Templars have been known to launch entire crusades to recover them if a Champion falls in battle. The new mini is honestly really cool without totally changing the look and feel of the original. Wreathed in divine light, descending from the cold darkness of space with righteous fury, please be upstanding for the living miracle himself – the Emperor’s Champion.
