On the eve of battle, the Black Templars gather to be led in prayer and contemplation by their champions. United in their hatred of the foe, they swear a mighty vow to uphold in the battle ahead. After being visited by visions of greatness, it now falls to Vedrenn, the Emperor’s Champion, to ensure his brethren do not break this vow.
If you want to zealously spread faith in the God-Emperor, this box is the perfect way to start a new Black Templars collection – or expand an existing army – and save money compared to buying the kits individually. A mighty Emperor’s Champion, capable of cutting down any foe with their Black Sword, leads the force. Following him into the heart of the action is a squad of Bladeguard Veterans, while a veteran Sword Brethren Squad provides powerful close support. Rounding out the army is a Crusader Squad – a unit ideal for claiming objectives. These 19 plastic miniatures represent a complete Vow-sworn of Vedrenn Combat Patrol for use in tight, tactical games of Warhammer 40,000. The rules for this Combat Patrol are available as a free download on the Warhammer Community website.
This boxed set builds 19 multipart plastic Black Templars miniatures:
– 1x Emperor’s Champion
– 3x Bladeguard Veterans
– 5x Sword Brethren
– 10x Crusaders
The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Bladeguard Veterans can each be equipped with a heavy bolt pistol and sword, a heavy bolt pistol and shield, or a sword and shield. The veteran sergeant has a choice of heavy bolt pistol, plasma pistol, or neo-volkite pistol. The heads, arms, and tilting plates are interchangeable across the squad.
The elite Sword Brethren are each armed with a bolt pistol and either a chainsword or master-crafted power weapon. One member of the squad can be armed with a thunder hammer, one with a plasma pistol, two with pyre pistols, and one with twin lightning claws. You can also build an optional Castellan armed with a bolt pistol or combi-weapon, and a chainsword or master-crafted power weapon. The backpacks, backpack toppers, shoulder pads, tilting plates, and heads are interchangeable across the miniatures.
The Crusader Squad features four Neophytes armed with either Neophyte firearms or bolt pistols and chainswords. The six Initiates can be armed with a bolt rifle or bolt pistol and a chainsword. Two can be armed with a pyreblaster, and two with a bolt pistol and power fist. One of the Initiates can be built as an optional Sword Brother, armed with a master-crafted power weapon and either a bolt pistol or pyre pistol. The heads and shoulder pads are interchangeable across the Initiates, and they also have optional purity seals, tilting plates, and relics.
This kit comprises 468 plastic components, 10x Citadel 40mm Round Bases, 4x Citadel 28mm Round Bases, 6x Citadel 32mm Round Bases, and 2x Black Templars Upgrades Transfer Sheets, each containing 240 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures.
