Overall we have to say this update is pretty awesome and just full of really cool minis. Upping the Primaris game are new Neophytes models as it looks like Firstborn and their Neophytes’ days may be numbered for hobbyists…Īlso rounding out this set is the new Pyreblaster model along with a Sword Brother who both are part of the Crusader Squad that we imagine is coming separately now. Oh yeah and since they said “ The updated range of Black Templars units ” I guess that means these will be going on pre-order too: (For the record, yes, it’s from the amazing Helsreach storyline and it’s all dope.) Look, he’s so badass, his retinue can just carry stuff around for him, they have absolute confidence the hype train that is Grimaldus will keep them safe and sound. “Mounting the skeleton of a slain psyker on one of their sacred relics is a great way to express the brutality of the Chapter – they’re not carrying the remains of an honoured hero of their order like the Bladeguard Ancient, but a grisly trophy.” “We used the banner to reinforce the idea that Black Templars are all about hate,” he continues.

“We kept the same relics from Helsreach,” Maxime explains, “but we rendered them slightly differently in order to match the scale of the Cenobyte Servitors, who we made larger to represent failed aspirants of the Chapter.” Could I talk trash about him and his retinue? Yes. Upgrade Your Impulsor for Less!Īnd now for Grimaldus. Or do, it’s your model, do what you want. Please note, he has black armor but but at least 70% of him is painted not black in this press release, so please, for hobbies sake don’t primer him and call it a day. He’s a mono pose, so for your second champion I’d go over to SpikeyBits and grab a void-resin-crafted champion made by 3D Art Guy, who is, in my opinion, even dope-er-er.

I heard you can have THREE of these guys in the new book.
