Black Templar Teaser and Rumors

[Marshal Reinhard]

Do you reckon those are transfers on the oath papers...?

 

really do look it, but you never know with these 'eavy metalers. the skull for sure is.

Last line in the article 

"The Emperor’s Champion is a paragon of faith and fury whose appearance on the battlefield strikes fear into the hearts of those who oppose him. And, rest assured, he won’t be standing alone. "

I think the model looks great. The new artwork is amazeballs. I can't wait for they preview for the templars next.

[Banjulhu]

He has a tactical rock.

 

I like the fact that the armour does not have kneepads like normal primaris armour does

[d3m01iti0n]

I love it!

 

I guess on top of my Star Wars Black Series addiction I'm going to paint some models on the side.

 

My wallet is not happy I've returned to the Eternal Crusade.

Very interesting tease from GW: there might be a Black Templars launch box!

Might translated:

 

Will!

Definitely excited for this and all the other stuff coming up!

Only things I don't love about this model is the greaves and the direction the sword is facing, both easy to change with a bit of work.

"Going forwards, we’re looking at ways we can make sure you don’t miss out on other awesome box sets too. So if, for instance, there was a sweet new Black Templars launch box on the horizon (just imagine that!) then that also sounds like the sort of box we’d want to make sure you could all get your hands on."

WHERE IS THE RED TEXT?

 

In the name of Brother Firepower and Honda, I beseech you, O HOLY RED TEXT!

 

FEEL THE ZEAL BROTHERS

[Mmmmm Napalm]

Interesting details: Backpack knobs are old style, while it he's clearly using markX backpack with the round reactor.

 

Helmet has old style 'ear' details.

Gauntlets looks fantastic. Sword is fantastic. Chained sword. 

 

Leather straps on the greaves?

 

His "tabard" is apron style, just like the old models  goes under the top chest plate like on blade guard (eh, its growing on me. He'll look fantastic next to my blade boyos)

 

Overall, I'm in love 

regarding the old stuff mixed with new primaris elements, the feel i get is that theyve replaced parts of the armor that have become unsalvageable as a result of damage suffered during battle

[jaxom]

*Reads article, looks at signature* Welp, I have a crusade to start thinking out.

[TheOneTrueZon]

I'm probably going to switch the sword to the other hand and have the other holding the frayec red pony tail of a decapitated, Horus loving traitor.

[Sete]

So here we are. :)

Now.....

Who knows the rules?! hahahah

[Marshal Reinhard]

I know who, but he aint telling

[Marshal Reinhard]

Don't think I've seen anyone mention it, but the red scrolls on the back... the glorious return of crusader seals?

[Sword Brother Adelard]

There are so many cool nods to the old lore and design on this model, that it makes me so excited for the rest of the release.

• Plain chest plate: Clear Grimaldus reference
• OG Red oath papers
• The little buckles on the plates, indicates that they can fit on different sized marines and are quickly adjustable, as opposed to being bespoke to the individual marine, which ties in with the old lore that the Champion wasn't  given a specific set of armour called the Armour of Faith, they were given simply the best armour that the force has available to them, that armour becomes the Armour of Faith purely because the Champion is wearing it.
• The relative lack of ornamentation is also relevant to that concept, it's not armour which has belonged to one marine for decades, bearing the history of their deeds, it's a set from the armoury, given to a marine who will not wear it for long before they find their doom, before going back into the vault.
• The armour isn't entirely classic MkX, the greaves are more reminiscent of the 25th anniversary version, without kneepads, the helmet isn't a MKX as it lacks the little ears on the side, again indicating that it's old armour, chosen because it's the best available.
• I really like the detailing on the elbow pads, it's subtly knightly without being OTT.

Would be cool if we‘d get models for those two in the background… kind of like the right one with the braziers on the backpack
