New miniature for Black templars

[Brat Igorus]

Hello my brothers with the arrival of our next codex. Have you thought about which figurines we will get? Personally I thought about it and I thought about the Draco connectable and you?

If we will indeed get a new model as our codex is released (which perhaps isn't too unlikely but old habits die hard and I can't help but be doubtful) my money would be on it being a single character.

 

Don't know if I'd bet on it being a named character over a generic one though. Perhaps with both a Marshal and Castellan kit existing, they could make a BT Ancient kit?

 

I'd love to see a vehicle based one, a special redemptor or brutalis, or perhaps a modern take on a LR crusader. Don't particularly believe that to be likely though.

[Medjugorje]

At the start of 10th edition I thought it would be one character as maximum but more likely just an upgrade kit for Terminators or something similar.

Now, after all releases yet I think it will be a character or something like a special vehicle like Marshal Reinhard said already.

Repulsor Crusader for example. But most likely is a character

 

What do we have already?!:

 

named Chapter Master (check)

named Marshal ( most likely)

Marshal (check)

named Castllan (maybe)

Castellan (check)

named Ancient (hmmm)

Ancient (dont think so)

named Apo (dont think so)

Apo (very unlikely because its more a BA thing)

named Termiantor (why not although its more a DA thing)

Chaplain (its a special thing to us)

named Chaplain (check)

special BT Chaplain (most likely)

 

 

 

So it could be an named Marshal - especially there are a few esablished ones but honestly a named chapter master is something very similar. 

For me the biggest chance is a BT variant of a chaplain. 

[Marshal Reinhard]

I wouldn't mind a BT specific chaplain, though I might be able to stick em all in their own squad soon....

[Helias_Tancred]

I don't know what we will get, but I'd prefer it to be a specific Black Templar Chaplain miniature. Brand new sculpt, etc.

Castellan Draco would be great and a named Lieutenant is a niche no one has plus I love the trend of GW revisiting older aesthetics in new miniatures, they've been nailing it so far.

 

Maybe it's the fact that I think our current upgrade kit is kind of weird spot with the relics not doing anything but I would love to see a new upgrade kit for Terminators and perhaps a new sarcophagus for Redemptor chassis to make a Chaplain-Venerable-Dreadnought, using upgrade kits to make new units is such a rarely used resource and I don't know why because it can be a great opportunity to flesh out a faction and  I wouldn't mind having our Sword Brethren Terminators being an upgrade kit.

[CastellanDeMolay]

Technically everyone has named lieutenants, albeit they use the generic datasheet. If we get a single model, I'd like it to be something we don't already have, like a Gravis Chaplain or some kind of anti-Librarian who wields a Null-Rod or the like. Another upgrade kit would be super-cool. I'd love something that would allow us to run a BT version of DW Knights by working with that kit, or adding swords to an upcoming Assault Terminator kit. 

 

One concern I have would be if GW switch back to linking special rules to the stuff in the upgrade kit, because I like WYSIWYG and I don't want to build my models wrong. I really hope they don't because I think everything on there is balling and it should all be used.

Very good point about our Upgrade Kit. I'd like to see a totally new one made, especially after seeing some of the things included in the new Dark Angel kit. More Black Templar helmeted heads, bare heads, melee weapons,  relics that we currently have rules for, etc. Definitely more ornate terminator shoulder pads making them look like the sword brethren they are.

While I would love to get BT Specific Terminator pads and other bits (Torso fronts with tabards?) I'm kinda skeptical that we would get another upgrade sprue. A bespoke kit would feel more plausible in some ways, but at the same time, alternate chapter kits that are the same as the regular version but with chapter specific aren't all that common. The Blood Angel Terminator kit IS a genuine example of it, but about the only one I can think of. The DA deathwing kit, doesn't really count as it doubles up as building the deathwing knights, a completely separate unit.

[Tokugawa]

Since there isn't any ancient BT kits need to be updated, any future BT release would be a new product. 

 

The worst situation is our release slot occupied by a "not really BT" product, e.g. new scaled assault terminators + a small BT decoration sprue. However, it may still be welcomed by BT customers.

[Helias_Tancred]

Right now I'd love to see new Assault terminators!

[Brother Jobu]

I'd like to see the next evolution of the Land Raider (and variants) that has the treads removed and grav engines installed. You could have a nice bit of fluff written for it. Perhaps Guilliman, as a secret thanks for Helbrecht agreeing to cross the rubicon, tasks the Admech to modify Land Raiders and bring them in line with the new marine equipment. This would also fall in line with the direction GW has taken with phasing out the old marine models while giving us (not just Black Templars, but all marines) a new, expensive kit to buy. It would be glorious to see a grav tank carrying 12 primaris marines wearing terminator plate or gravis armor or 16 regular primaris!

I highly doubt Black Templars getting exclusive access to whatever the inevitable Primaris Land Raider will be.
When it eventually arrives, it'll be for base Marines (so everyone gets it) and, IMO, will probably follow the example of the new Terminators and just straight up be a True-scale Land Raider with 0 explanation of why it's bigger.

 

Instead, for BT specifically, I expect you'll get a unique BT Chaplain unit.
Maybe their Crosius doubles as a Null Rod or something, idk.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Since we already got an upgrade kit, i don't really see us getting another unless perhaps it is heavily skewed towards vehicles. I could see an updated crusader and such dropping first for us, but it being opened up for everyone would then be a forgone conclusion and not far behind, perhaps coinciding with a second marine codex dropping or even sooner.

 

But really, what I expect is a realistic option is us getting a singular character. Chaplain would be nice. As would an ancient. Something where they go all in on the templar aesthetic.

 

Would love a templar dreadnought kit akin to the old FW venerable boxnought of ages past. But about as likely as us getting more than one new kit.

I'd be down for some kind of Ancient, maybe with it's own mini-Vow for the unit it joins. Perhaps conferring, optionally, an additional vow to the current army-wide Vow, or a buff to it, for the joined unit?

would fit - especially when you play in other detachments because Vows are the CORE thing for BT.
