  1. The bits are excellently designed, but I would recommend against buying though only-games, their consumer service is abysmal and some of their practices are shady at best. I suggest looking at reviews before making any order there.

  2. Black Templars in Firestorm Assault is no slouch either. The problem I’m having is deciding on what characters to put in it. With the points changes for Helbrecht, Grimaldus, Inceptors, Aggressors and Scouts it’s been a chore.

  3. Remember that time a whole crusading fleet disappeared in the ghoul stars thinks will see them again interesting fact helbretch was saved by the orks which drew his attention away from the ghoul stars

  4. Ah, Templars. My first army I created when Indomitus came out and I started my hobby adventure.

    I loved them for lore reasons even before they were cool, and all we got was reroll advance + charge and a mortal FNP. How times have changed

  5. When deciding on my first army I knew I wanted to do a space marine one. I was torn between Black Templars and Dark Angels. I ultimately went with Dark Angels. There were a few reasons. But one was that I also eventually wanted to build a sisters of battle army. I felt that having two armies who thematically were the same, ie religious dogma to the extreme. Would be like putting a hat on a hat. I also felt that Sisters fit that theme a lot better than Templars do.

  6. Noob question: In Auspex's example list he sticks a second sword brethren squad with no character with in the same land raider as Helbrecht and his sword brethren squad. Is there a reason he did that instead of combining them into one big squad?

  7. Back in October I sold everything 40k I owned from over 10 years being in the hobby except for my built & painted terrain! … over 22k of space marines (Dark Angels and Blood Angels) and tons of other crap. Took the money and started a brand new Black Templar collection (and banked the rest!). Absolutely love the new sculpts! Always been one of my favorite marine chapters since after getting into the hobby back in 2012. Once had 1200 points of them around 2014 but never did anything with them and eventually sold them off. So after deciding to do a very hard 40k hobby reset I decided on these guys, there really was no one else I was considering. At 6k built, based, and primed … they're done unless something new and cool comes out in the future? I've been painting the characters and I absolutely love them and the contrasts in their paint scheme (but I still paint Blood Angels the best, lol working on that with my BT). Their model sculpts are superb! Their upgrade kit is far superior to any other upgrade kit or sprue for space marines! Their lore is right up there as one of the best, and they are a well-covered chapter from Black Library! Their primarch is Dorn, and their founding heir is Sigismund! ❤🏆 …. It's only win-win when it comes to deciding to collect and play Black Templars! Right now their rules are good but we all know that can come and go over the years lol and editions. But you cannot go wrong with going with Black Templars. Great video!

  8. Sadly the regular Marine CP is a complete trap for BT players. The Librarian is not usable AND as mentioned you get the rest for much cheaper in the smaller starter set (plus those Nids…).

  9. Just got the Introductory Set and the Getting Started with WH40K magazine (with the marine and Nid).

    Would you recommend getting a Black Templars or Dark Angels (with the Dreadnought) Combat Patrol for me to get next? And which "hero" figure would be best for either ? Thanks.

  10. Ik in a previous video you talked about the leviathan box set actually kinda fitting the black Templars and wanted to ask what other units should I include to make the army more complete?

    Reply
  11. Picked up the Combat Patrol and Black Templars Army Set (still easily purchased in the USA for around $170) a few weeks ago from my FLGS. I appreciate the final tips for filling out a 2000 point army. Once I get all of this table ready I'll have to look into the options you suggested.
