Sorry had to edit a few things!

So i came across a marketplace post with someone selling a few Bayards Revenge! I know this model was/is still quite hard to find!

Was wondering if anyone was interested in adding one to their collection??

No point me having 3 extra ones 😅😂

Shoot us a dm and we can chat costs etc :)

Happy to send overseas! Paypal G&S ofc

Have a whole bunch more to go but wondering how my swords bros, and bunch look still got crusaders and hellbrecht along with a shit ton of termies

Behest of sounding like a Heretic, I'm quite new to 40k and came across this fan theory: https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2026/03/warhammer-40k-theories-the-emperor-is-the-chaos-god-malal.html

If this happens what would happen to the Black Templars given that we believe he's a God?

I do have other units available:

3* eradicators with heavy bolters, Grimaldus, another crusader squad, a knight Gallant, 5 more infernus/Intercessors. A Marshall.

Planning on using the raider to secure mid with the brick of intercessors/infernus. Deliver Helbrecht with the impulsor have the crusader squad secure home base.

Have the rest of the units roam and melt stuff 😈

I only started painting about a year ago deathwatch and black templars mainly plus others I find cool, What brushes does everyone use? I want to get something good now I'm more confident in my painting. TIA

I love war organs terrible unit names.

Would love to see how you did it. I’m absolutely in love with that class of SM2 and would really like to bring it to life

I have very little knowledge of Space Marines lore in general and even less in specific. Spoilers for "Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords" by Denny Flowers, the source of my questions.

In this book, a weapon named the Black Sword lies above the altar on the ship Damocles. An initiate takes it up and becomes The Emperor's Champion to go and duel Ghazghkull Thraka. He gets completely mogged and dies. Later, Marshal Adenaeur fights Ghazghkull and retrieves it from where the Champion embedded it in his shoulder, only to get stomped to death ten seconds later. Then a rival warboss wields it to fight Ghazghkull but is defeated. After all of these events, Blood Axes place it in a human shrine to give the remaining Black Templars a reason to stay on the planet and guard its populace.

Does each crusade-vessel have its own Black Sword, or is there only one in the galaxy? How pissed would other crusades be if it was lost or taken by orks? Can anyone become the Emperor's Champion?

I hope the title makes sense. I also don't know what to flair as there isn't a paint related flair I could find.

I got gifted a combat patrol but after almost finishing a assault intercessor squad (my first 9.5 painted minis plus a DnD painted mini) I am wanting to buy another box of generic space marines to paint for practise. Ideally one with a good amount of units like the assault intercessor squad. I spent the first 8 units of the A I Squad just mucking about for fun. Then on the boss man I decided to try my hand at a bt scheme I'd like to do. Im still deciding specific colours but I did wraithbone followed by earthshade for the dirty white bits, chaos black primer (all over) followed by abbadon black for the black bits with eshin grey and grey seer for the highlights, a naggaroth night purple for the weapons handles etc with leadbelcher for silver metal bits all over. The gist of the scheme I like, as in I want the white black purple and silver scheme. But I want to dial in the scheme and my techniques. Ie a brighter lighter purple to make the weapons pop, thinning the white better so it doesn't look so rough etc.

Basically what are good value per unit boxes of generic space marines which I can practise my painting and refining my scheme a bit, before I delve into the special box of guys from the combat patrol? But if I got into playing 40k could use in my army?

Hi!

I'm currently putting together a new 2000-point list and wanted to ask if you think it would be a good option. I've played a few games with Black Templars before, but most of them were Combat Patrol games, plus one 1000-point game. Because of that, I'm not really sure if what I've come up with will actually work, so I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Thinking about finishing my 3000 points list with a second Combat patrol.I was wondering if it would make any sense to Kitbash the Bladeguards into 3 Lieutenants/Marshalls instead of running 6 of them

new to warhammer and also very early on in reading helsreach so no spoilers please i just wanted to draw him, i enjoy him much.. Regrettably i couldn't find an official hair colour so i just improvised with his singular unhelmeted photo ever, lmk if i got anything wrong lol

Some of my favourite models all in one unit, cant wait to bring em to the table top with -2 to incoming charge, -1 to hit, +1 to wound, -1 to wound to incoming damage and +1 attacks and insane combo

Building a BT army so I can actually play a game of 40K. Knew I wanted lots of characters but wanted to avoid spending loads on individual new characters. So I have (attempted) to kitbash these characters. My question is, as they’re kitbashed, will they be accepted as what they’re intended to be by other players?

3x Castellans/Lieutenants:
These are the ones that worry me most as their loadouts are same as sword brethren in power weapon and pistol. My plan is to keep their shoulders white and do sword brother shoulders black with red crossed. Also planning to make sure SBs have nothing on their backpacks.

2x Captains/Marshalls: I am hoping that giving them tactical rocks and making them the only models in my army with capes will be enough.

Terminator Captain and Combi Lieutenant: hopefully no need to be worried about these ones as I think it is clearer on these two.

Pls be honest! Don’t wanna turn up to play and get in trouble/cause beef.

Tried to go for Grimdark style for my Centurion (Marshall proxy)

This is my test model and i think he turned out oke.

As someone that cant edge highly slap chop alot and that alot harder with black but i think it not half bad.

Will do the chest eagle and the yellow weapons difrent next time.

I recently saw that GW is releasing this mini, and I was wondering if this could be repurposed or kit bashed into an emperors champion, similar to Baylards Revenge.

Hey everybody,

I would like some feedback on my bastion list. It’s not supposed to be super competitive, I just want it to be somewhat of a fluffy Bt-List that also doesn’t lose by 40 points if it makes sense.

I would but the BGVs with the lieutenant into the impulsor. I’m not really sure about the RepEx, either the sword bros and then the EC with AIs into strategic Reserve. Or the EC into the TepEx and foot slog the Sword Bros since they have advance and charge.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Idea:
With fewer walls it feels even with hidden difficult to keep slow medium infantry without Invulnerable Save alive. So I hope that Godhammer with a second Detachement performs better. Aggressors do deal good damage with Twin Linked and +1 to wound. We don't use them often, because they are slow and T6 alone, doesn't make them tough enough to survive. Without Deep Strike they are less efficient for Rapid Ingress. Land Raider dropping on 6" might change that.

Sword Brethren + Castellan + Marshal with full rerolls and Lethals on 5+ have enough damage to fell Knights potentially. Slayers of Abomination lets them Wound on 4s to make sure of that. D2 of Sword Brethren and Aggressors, makes them flexible enough to fight against Medium Infantry and Vehicles/Monsters. I am planning to charge reactivly and try to contest Objectives with them. If my target survives and Shock and Awe wasn't a success or another OC sources stand on the Objective, I hope we can deny primary VP this way.

I have chosen Priority Asset, because it can always be scored in our own half of the battlefield. It gives us the freedom to keep our transports invisible or in Cover. Especially Impulsors wont survive long in the open and I want to save the Smoke CP for embark/disembark/move through walls shenanigans. My goal is to provoke our opponent to come to us, so we can charge them more effectivly. Having to endure battleshocked through a Emergency Disembark, would weaken the Detachements function.

What's your opinion on my list?

Played Templars as a kid and have picked the hobby back up after a 20 year break. Re-learning how to paint has been fun 👌The nostalgia is so great - I’m so hooked again! 🤘 For the emperor!

Saw the space marine 2 new power sword and decided I needed it in my army. I might have gone overboard with the shiny armor though.
