Light the candles, exhume the blessed heroes’ bones, and recite your most holy Imperial catechism, the Black Templars are going to war next week with their incredible new Army Set . We’ve got an amazing week of articles ahead of us, including incredible miniature reveals and a closer look at Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep. As a kid, I had a crumpled, stapled paper sales-catalogue/’how to play 40k’ pamphlet with this artwork on the cover, and it captivated me then, with its gothic, apocalyptic, but power-drenched energy. There’s no standalone rules for a squad of those chumps so you’d be stuck leaving them in the bits box or using them as a regular Scout squad. 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.

while fitting the bodies of the models together, and the layered detail on them is pretty immaculate.

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’.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints. You have an outer-sleeve for the main box with some great new artwork on the front and box contents on the back. There was a considerable chance Geedubs had over-egged the pudding; that this box, and its all-important codex, would turn out an infuriating, misleading anti-climax. The new Black Templars rules are both a proper step into making the tabletop army feel distinct, personal, and stylish again – and a significant upgrade to the Templars’ competitive power. This is the only previously available model in the box, and chances are if you’re a Space Marine player, you A.

This Black Templars Army Set is stuffed with stunning new all-Primaris Black Templars models, including a Marshal, Emperor’s Champion, Neophytes, Initiates, and a Sword Brother. 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.

Driven ever onward by their fury and faith, these fanatical warriors will not rest until every heretic idol lies toppled, and every Imperial world is purged of foes. It’s a little thing, but highly satisfying for weirdos like me that like the building process almost as much as the painting. These are some of the tightest engineered plastic kits I’ve ever built, and the tiny gap that superglue adds could make things tough.These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Glue and Paints. You'll also find a multipart plastic Redemptor Dreadnought in there to support your Eternal Crusade, plus a set of 28 handy reference cards for Templar Vows and Stratagems, 16 of which are new and exclusive to the Black Templars. Excellent item for reference but too beautiful to take to the LGS and risk a can of white monster splashing on it.
