All the 40k Black Templars New Releases
Unexpectedly, all of these Black Templars releases had two-week pre-orders, meaning we had twice as long to order them before the release on Black Friday Weekend!
The Army Box is still available on the secondary market, so if you missed it the first time around, it may not be too late to find one still.
40k Black Templars Army Box

Here’s the box we’ll be looking at today. It comes with 13 minis and 12 of them are new. Unfortunately, the value isn’t super high in this one.
The cool thing about this set was that they allowed stores to get as many as they wanted, and they said they would have put it to MTO for people when they ran out of initial stock.
However, they didn’t sell through all their stock and never even had to MTO it. If you want to see how the pre-orders flopped you can check that out here.
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 that require a more forceful elimination.
- Primaris Crusader Squad $60
- Redemptor Dreadnought $65 (existing kit)
- Emperor’s Champion $35
- Marshal $35
- Codex:$30 (not really a limited edition because of production numbers & resale price)
- Datacards: $25
Total MSRP: $255
Estimated Value: $50

Holga Clovenhorn $35 (MTO until November 28th)

Her name reflects the shattered horn – one of a pair bestowed upon her by the dark gods, along with the twisted shield she wears on her back. Holga is clad in the armour of the Slaves to Darkness and as such can stand in as a Chaos Warrior, an Exalted Hero of Chaos, or a Chaos Lord, should you wish.

Urdesh: The Magister and The Martyr $27
Saint Sabbat has brought a miracle to the war-torn city of Ghereppan, but one battle is not the war. The voice of Magister Sek still haunts the Imperial forces, defying their victory, mocking their faith.
Between the trickery of the Archenemy and the mercurial visions of the Saint, the Space Marines of Damocles Squad must find the truth: is this their one chance for a final victory on Urdesh, or is it a trap that could destroy them all?

Book 3: Extermination and Book 7: Inferno: $78 Each
You may remember these Horus Heresy books from a recent Sunday Preview, but unfortunately they ran into delays (a galaxy-spanning civil war can cause its share of logistical disruption, we suppose).
