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. Not only do you get a full 13 models in the box, you’ll also find the exclusive Codex Supplement: Black Templars featuring classic wrap-around artwork – it’s the only way to get early access to their updated rules and background material.

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. Also included in this set is a Black Templars Transfer Sheet with a massive 226 individual Chapter icons in various sizes and colours, as well as honour markings and personal heraldry.

The set includes the following multipart plastic miniatures:

– 1x Black Templars Marshal (supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base)
– 1x The Emperor’s Champion (supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base)
– 1x Redemptor Dreadnought (supplied with a Citadel 90mm Round Base)
– 1x Black Templars Primaris Crusader Squad – including: 1x Primaris Sword Brother, 5x Primaris Initiates and 4x Primaris Neophytes. (supplied with 1x Citadel 40mm Round Base, 5x Citadel 32mm Round Bases, and 4x Citadel 28mm Round Bases)

Also included:

New 40k Black Templars Army Box Value

The Army Set contains 13 miniatures, including 12 new Black Templars – a Marshal, the Emperor’s Champion, and a 10-man Primaris Crusader Squad with a ton of build options. You’ll also get a Redemptor Dreadnought, for targets which require a more forceful elimination.

These could all change, but we think the values below are pretty spot-on:

Primaris Crusader Squad $60 (Based on other Space Marine Intercessors)
Redemptor Dreadnought $65 (existing kit)
Emperor’s Champion $40 (based on recent character releases)
Marshal $35 (this could be on the low end, might go up to $40)
Codex: $30 (supplement)
Datacards: $25

Total MSRP: $255

Estimated Value: $55

The new box will cost $200, and the value is basically identical to the Orks Beast Snagga box minus $20 for a supplement codex book instead of the main one at $50 (you still need the Space Marine codex book to use).

Looks like GW likes that price point for both value and pricing. Regardless, if it has value to you, then get it. If it doesn’t, then don’t! Don’t let the FOMO get the best of you if you really aren’t sure about the minis.

The Black Templars 40k Army Box Release Has Flopped…

We time-stamped this photo just to show when GW said the limited stock would be, well, it’s over 24 hours later and still, it hasn’t been changed from pre-order to MTO status. It looks like we might have another Dominion on our hands where they expect something to be super limited and it ends up hanging around for weeks.

Since they didn’t allocate the boxes, there is a chance that tons of people bought this from their local store, but we expect it also had to do with the value of the box and the fact you receive so few minis. It really looks like people are making their voices heard by voting with their hobby dollars.

Overall it’s a great time to be a loyalist and an even worse time to be a heretic! Need more on everything Black Templars? Here’s the latest news and rumors for these crusaders!
