Patrol: Black Templars

On the eve of battle, the Black Templars gather to be guided in prayer and contemplation by their champions. United in their hatred of the enemy, they then swear a solemn oath to be respected during the coming battle. Lui-même having been visited by visions of greatness, it falls to Vedrenn, the Emperor's Champion, to ensure that his brothers do not break this vow.

If you want to zealously spread faith in the Emperor-God, this box is the perfect way to start a collection of Black Templars - or expand your existing army - saving on the separate purchase price of these kits. This force is led by a powerful Emperor's Champion, capable of mowing down any enemy with his Black Sword. A squad of Veteran Bladeguards follows him into the thick of the action, while an experienced squad of Sword Brothers provides powerful close support. This army is completed by a Crusader Squad, ideal for seizing objectives. These 19 plastic miniatures make up a complete Vedrenn Vow Patrol for use in tight, tactical Warhammer 40,000 games. The rules for this Patrol are available as a free download from the Warhammer Community website.
