DBadger Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was sure I owned a mag from their rerelease in the late 00s, but I seem to have lost it. Are there any issues of White Dwarf, or old codices (other than codex BT / Armageddon) that have good reading or modeling material on the Black Templars? The actual codex is long OOP and hard to find now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 According to the Lexicanum article, White Dwarf (UK) 277, 286, 312, and 314 might be what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBadger Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 That'll do, thank you. And as luck would have it, they're all on ebay. Actually ended up buying the whole of 2005 for a tenner. I bought Codex Armageddon as well as that's a must have for a Black Templar. Still don't have a codex, but I'll find one eventually. I had one in my basket for a fiver on Amazon but it went up to over £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegedlynerdy Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The prices of codex black Templars fluctuate like crazy. 100s one month, 10s the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 What are the corrolary WD issue numbers for the USA. or are they the same. Also. Obviously there is some BT stuff in 6th, 7th and 8th edition codex space marines. But also a little bit in the 3rd edition BRB and the 3rd edition codex Space marines.

DBadger Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 I've been thinking of collecting the big books and csm. I only have 4th and 8th rulebooks, and the 3rd codex. There are some Templars in one of the big books I have but not much.Edit: I caved in. I've bought the 3rd and 6th ed rulebooks, and the 6 ed csm codex (2013). I'm not paying £30+ for a codex so 8th will have to wait. 7th books all around seen hard to find for some reason. I haven't played in earnest since 4th and even then my codex csm was 3rd! In retrospect it would have been cheaper to just buy Codex: Black Templars haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 There are some really cheap C:BT on ebay right now. So cheap in fact that I might pick up another one(would be my third :lol:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBadger Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Wolves so I can easily get to Worcester. Might have a look, thanks. Although we have a flgs here I haven't even been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBadger Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 The first lot came - the whole of 2006* not 2005. Luckily that was the only number I misread! 312 is great, a good introduction to the chapter. At least ten pages to the BTs in here. 314 is an 'eavy metal showcase and has a selection of different crusade ideas. Must say though I don't like the quality of the mag in 2006. I dunno, it just feels weird. Large text and a little informal. A lot of clutter, too, such as adding beneath any model "this model requires assembly" (you don't say).

Sword Brother Adelard Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'll keep adding to this as I find stuff between 245-300, where the above list kicks in and I stopped buying WD. WD 258 - Black Templars v Orks battle report. The Templars planetstrike to kill Ghazkull, but it isn't him. They lose to some very unOrky shooty tactics as Andy Chambers was too wary to engage the crusader squads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Man... the first WD I ever owned was for 3rd ed featuring BT vs Dark eldar... before armageddon codex so they played just like every other SM back then. It was a cool bat rep with 2 tables a big gap and a bridge spanning them. They moved a barstool to place a skimmer onto when it was halfway across the gap.

DBadger Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 So this is what £30 buys you on eBay/Amazon; still two mags to come (277, 286). Really impressed with the 6ed rulebook (even if I did only pay £2 for it with nowt more than a chipped corner wrong!) And plenty of Templars.

Canadian_F_H Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 6th ed is kinda neat for BT. since we still had a codex when 6th started and our unique place in the ally chart. Like we clearly hated the ECCLESIARCHY AND THE SOB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegedlynerdy Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 In my mind I think the more recent codexs which say Templars are okay with the ecclesiarchy are just propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The fact that redefining the Black Templars as fervent adherents of the Imperial Creed has caused a schism within the fanbase is oddly appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closet Skeleton Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The 4th ed BT codex has too much stuff that's just copy pasted from the 4th ed Space Marine codex. Which led to much of the BT's unique flavour during 5th and early 6th ed being an artifact of regular marines being changed and BT staying the same. 6th ed is kinda neat for BT. since we still had a codex when 6th started and our unique place in the ally chart. Like we clearly hated the ECCLESIARCHY AND THE SOB! Despite the 4th ed codex including a story where the Black Templars heroically sacrifice a ton of Thunderhawk Gunships to rescue some SoB? I had a mixed SoB/BT army in 5th ed, so if I hadn't skipped 6th ed for personal life reasons then that ally chart would have been anything but 'neat' for me.

Canadian_F_H Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 3rd ed was where i was at tho... the only assault squad with storm shields. Mixed armour biker squads, all non BT had a hard limit of 0-1 land raider crusaders, the emperor's champion was the only character I was aware of that could challenge, because challenge was his rule specificaly. Unfortunatly 4th ed came to late for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
