Codex: Black Templars

Warhammer 40,000 4th Edition

by Games Workshop

The Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes are Humanity's ultimate warriors, dedicated to the defence of the Emperor and the Imperium of Man. They are barely human at all, but superhuman, having been made superior, in all respects, to a normal man by a harsh regime of genetic modification, psycho-conditioning and rigorous training. Organised into small independent armies called Chapters, their unswerving loyalty is to the Emperor of Mankind and no other. The Black Templars are one of these Chapters, eschewing the idea of a home world they have taken to the star in might crusade fleets, actively seeking out the enemies of Mankind.

This 64-page Warhammer 40,000 Codex contains all the rules you'll need to field a Black Templar army, as well as detailed background information, bestiary, accompanying artwork and 'Eavy Metal showcase.

Perfect balance between lore, art, and game data. Well written.

When it became evident that my beloved Iron Hands wasn't going to get an update even less a codex of their own I took my black painted spacemarines and turned them into Black Templars. This way they also fitted nicely with the inquisitors and their war bands.
Nothing like having an army of genetically engineered supersoldiers that are also religious fanatics really.
This strategy payed off immediately as their much sturdier vehicles (Due to Holy Hull) delivered my delirious zelots directly into close combat.
