Personally though, I think I’m gonna wait on that Templar accessory sprue they’ve previewed to really deck it out though. His sprue is far smaller than the Marshal’s with no options to speak of, but if you really wanted to use a different head or backpack on him it wouldn’t be a problem at all. We can rejoice, because the Crusader Squad – the core unit of Black Templars troops – finally has a dedicated kit, and a damn good one, too. It’s less “army” and more “combat patrol” but I’m gonna break it down and share my unqualified/impassioned thoughts. The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults.

It details historic and new crusades that the Black Templars have embarked upon over the many thousands of years since their inception. A useful reference guide but most likely living on my bookshelf because it's beautiful and most of the game-useful stuff can be printed or photo-copied. I’m pleased to report, though, that the brand new, plastic, Primaris Black Templars models look and feel just as awesome, characterful, and properly distinctively Templar-ish in the (grey plastic) flesh, as they do in GW’s badass trailer video below. The builds open up after that with flat arm joins that let you use whichever arms you want, and classic ball and socket heads so you can position the included heads or swap in your own easily.

The Black Templars are relentless crusaders who sweep across the galaxy in a tide of fire and blood. 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.

There’s also enough knightly accessories to dress up your tiny plastic spacemans however you’d like.Please note our Royal Mail service is not tracked, and if you require tracking for your parcel, you should choose UPS at checkout. 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.
