Now we know exactly what models will be included in the Black Templars launch box, as well as the wave of separate new Black Templars models arriving alongside it, we can take stock of the new range in its entirety. The full range of updated Black Templars models is shown off in this GW video, released on October 4, But then, the following day, it changed its mind, and gave the intriguing answer that the model can represent either a Primaris or a Firstborn marine, depending on your preference:.
Heya, correction. He can be used to represent a Firstborn or Primaris, so the choice is yours. So does he have the Primaris keyword…? Or can he ride in rhinos…? Or anything?
Thats a lame response. You can always choose to represent your primaris as firstborn but the actual question is whether the model is primaris or not. Only time will tell — but you can ponder the Big Questions with us in our full Space Marines guide.
To be fair, the old, Finecast resin Sword Brethren models represented this better than most resin kits of their era — but, golly gosh, the new plastic sculpts look to be a big step up. GW confirms the Sword Brethren can still wield a variety of powerful melee weapons, including the pictured Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammer. One of the pictured Sword Brothers also wields a gnarly-looking mace, which may be a Templar-flavoured Power Maul, or a new melee weapon entirely.
While Grimaldus — hero of the classic Black Library novel Helsreach — retains many of the design touches of his older, Finecast resin model including shoulder candles, chest grille, and a Hannibal Lecter-esque metal-toothed faceplate he has also most certainly crossed the Rubicon Primaris — so we can expect some upgraded rules and abilities for him in the upcoming new Black Templars codex.
Just look at that glorious banner! Now, if only we could see his rules…. Each one leads a whole Crusade of their own, commanding many hundreds, or even thousands, of Space Marines. This new Primaris Marshal model is covered in gothic, templaric decorations, from the chunky, riveted armour; to his dangling belt lantern; to the shacked skeleton on his backpack.
In the revealed photos, the squad has been built with five Initiates, four Neophytes, and one Power Sword-armed Sword Brother. Loadout-wise, it looks like the new Crusader Squad can mix up wargear more freely than other Primaris units.
While GW excited us for a few hours by initially announcing the Pyreblaster had a Damage stat of two, this was swiftly corrected to D1. A revered position of the Black Templars, these tough cookies are beholden to seek out enemy commanders during battle and challenge them to single combat, in reverence for their founding father, Sigismund — himself the black sheep son of Imperial Fists Primarch, Rogal Dorn.
Perfect pigment: Our pick of the best paints for miniatures. Announced in a Warhammer Community post on July 26, the box of 29 minis contains a small force for each faction, and two brand new character miniatures to lead them: Castellan Crowe for the daemon-hunting Grey Knights, and the new Infernal Master character model for the Egyptian-loving warp wizards.
As for content, we can expect the usual fancy new rules, updated points values, and powerful abilities, alongside some more tantalising features. The Adepta Sororitas 9th edition codex went up for pre-order on June 5, before releasing a week later on June You can grab yourself a copy from the GW webstore now. The codex includes full rules for all the new Sisters of Battle units, as well as updates for its existing range of models and wargear.
The whole book is designed to provide much wider strategic variety among Adepta Sororitas armies, which has been found wanting in recent years. Box set: Our guide to Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol boxes. Chief among their new units is High Abbess Morvenn Vahl. After its reveal in a May 16 Warhammer Community blog post , the 9th edition AdMech codex went up for pre-order on May 22, and was released on Saturday, May You can order it from the GW webstore now.
You can also nab custom AdMech-themed player aid datacards and dice alongside the codex. As is so often the case in Warhammer 40k, however, now that the new rules have been subjected to real-world play, 9th edition Drukhari have quickly become a top-tier competitive army, with multiple recent tournament wins.
That promise has been borne out, and then some. Only man: Read our Warhammer 40K Imperium factions guide. The pre-order and full release dates for the Drukhari codex were originally announced in a Warhammer Community article on Sunday, March 14 — along with Piety and Pain , a double-army boxset featuring Drukhari and Sisters of Battle, which went to pre-order at the same time. The Drukhari also got their own Combat Patrol starter set — check out our Combat Patrols guide for more info.
Death Guard players had to wait months longer than planned, but when the Codex did come, it came along with some extra goodies — primarily the long-teased and fundamentally foul Lord of Virulence model, and a Death Guard Combat Patrol starter box — the first of its kind for a Chaos army. It also included some of the most interesting thematic rule-building GW has yet tried with its new Crusade campaign system, in the form of custom-concocted plagues for your Death Guard warband, each affecting nearby enemies in slightly different, yet equally revolting ways and developing in potency over successive games.
The supplement is full of the usual army-specific datasheets, rules, and bespoke Crusade content for the scarlet-clad sons of long-lost Sanguinius, the Angel, along with a good chunk of lore and background information on this popular chapter.
The supplement, like its siblings, provided army-specific datasheets, rules, and bespoke Crusade content for the Space Wolves chapter of Space Marines. It is 64 pages long, and includes juicy Deathwatch-specific lore content and special rules on mixing Kill Teams with different specialisations.
Codex: Space Marines contains heaps of lore for the first-founding chapters, as well as their more prominent successors. It is pages in length, with 98 datasheets for new and existing units. This is a smaller book than the Space Marines release, clocking in at only pages.
Adventure awaits! Read our Space Marine Adventures review. It also includes a Regimental Doctrine for the Death Korps of Krieg and suggested Successor Tactics for five renowned Space Marine chapters that are too edgy to live in the main book.
