RUMORS: New Psychic Awakening Marines Starter Box Set

black templars wal hor logoA new Space Marine Starter Box for Black Templars may be on the way for Psychic Awakening. Let’s look at what new units are rumored to be inside!

If you haven’t already heard, Black Templars were mentioned in some rumors lately saying that they’ll be getting some kind of Vigilus book type of support along with a Starter Box Set. At first, this Box Set is said to contain Black Templars Vs. Orks but now in light of the recent previews, the rumor is Emperor’s Children.

Here’s why it makes sense to be Chaos now:

Psychic Awakening Book #2 (After Phoenix Rising)- Terra?

Recently Sablednah found that the Sisters of Battle icon was next in line, which along with the Night Lords, Emperor’s Children, World Eaters, White Scars, and Black Templars were spotted in the October 20th preview:

It only makes sense that Terra and Mars would be the focus of some kind of conflict. But it might be on their homeworlds vs. them sending forces to another part of the galaxy. That being said, Terra is one of the most fortified places in Imperium. In theory, nobody from the outside with a massive army should just make planetfall.

It would make sense that the Sisters of Battle would be next as it could pair up nicely with their new release in the coming month(s)

Factions we could be seeing in Book 2 based on GW’s teaser images:

  • Sisters of Battle (highly likely)
  • Night Lords
  • Emperor’s Children
  • World Eaters
  • White Scars
  • Black Templars

We had heard rumors of a Black Templars starter box that may be on the way recently. Now that they are “in play” from these new previews could Psychic Awakening II also have an accompanying starter box like the Blood of the Phoenix? Signs may be pointing to yes as we head into the holiday season.

Remember, these are all still rumors from BoLS, so take it with a pinch of salt.

The Black Templars boxed set will include a Primaris Emperor’s Champion and one new updated unit.

The opponents are Chaos Marines A new Chaos Unit and a Chaos Character are included. Slaanesh is the theme of the Chaos side.

So while we’re still waiting on the rumors to be debunked or confirmed, what would you like to see come inside of a Black Templars Vs. Emperors Children box?
