Big gif inbound from Valrak. He mentioned this ancient before the inital primaris release wave.

 

Think that was from the OG 2021 leaker wasn't it? 

 

I like this model a lot and I'll pick it up for my first company. They could have maybe gone a bit flashier with the marine himself but the banner looks really good, he'll look right at home next to a crusader squad. Whether you go for the sword or shield hanging from the banner the other option will look great on a dreadnought or tank. The helmet is top notch!

That's a pretty solid looking model. I've got a soft spot for standard bearers. Going to have to incorporate him into my small lot of Templars, even if his rules don't turn out good.

The "Armageddon" battle honor is a nice little detail, too.

The guy who leaked Leagues of Votann and plastic Krieg? I vaguely recall them mentioning Templars but figured that just referred to the refresh from that year.

Aye, him. Iirc the only things that didn't come true were CSM Bikers and a BT Ancient, which were notable just because everything else had been accurate.

 

At the time I think it was chalked upto them mistaking a slightly kitbashed Vanilla Ancient for a new model, but maybe it was this one afterall?

Possible, it wouldn't be the first time GW had a kit sit on the bench for a while, like the desolators 

Bloke was going to get his vindication whether it was 2025 or 2052, he's inevitable.

 

Happy enough with the ancient, but I guess my dream of adding Warrior Serfs to the crusade's black tide is delayed another codex. 

The Templar on the cover gives off "Sir Killalot" Vibes.

 

Not sure the ancient needed a tactical rock. Both feed on the ground would have been fine. The banner makes up for static pose.

Pretty sure the skull at the top of the banner was in a rumour engine not too long ago.

Love the banner, but is it just me or have they just used the Emperor's Champion's body with new arms and a tabard? :laugh: 

 

Seeing this I would actually quite like to put the Emperor's Champion's arms on this model. Also like the coif on the helment on the codex cover art, shame that's not a head option.

Genius

He's not what I had hoped for but I will love him and treat him like all my other sons.

 

Fantastic looking model, and kit really looks like a fantastic source of bits. Love its yet another great helm variant source.

 

Codex art looks really weird. Will miss my 9th edition lunch box one that used the legendary Blanche piece.

 

I love the Armageddon banner, this guy would fit perfectly in Grimaldus little entourage.

 

My only complain is that his helmet looks too similar to Helbrecht's, with the whole "cross covering the face" thing, I would have preferred something more original.
