My Black Templar force began
with the Armageddon Campaign run by Games Workshop.
These campaigns are always a great excuse to
start a new army and really get involved in
the action, so I had a quick read through the
book and decided on Salamanders.
What? But I thought you said
Black Templar’s? I did, but almost half
of my current Black Templar’s have a dark
green secret beneath their black exterior. They
were Salamanders for almost 3 months.
I was torn between Salamanders
and Black Templar’s from the moment I
picked up the Armageddon Codex. Both Chapters
had great storylines and cool colour schemes
and it was really hard to choose one over the
other. I initially went with Salamanders as
I wanted a change from my Blood Angels, who
were primarily geared towards assaulting.
But after making a start and
playing a few test games, I found that the Black
Templar's pre-battle oath along with the mixture
of Initiates and Neophytes made them different
enough anyway. So I had a bit of a rethink and
my Black Templar’s crusade was born!
This army has been on hold
for a bit while I've been working on my Blood
Angels again, but I've still got a few plans
in the pipeline for them. I'd like to get a
few of the Black Templar accessory sprues to
try and add a bit more zeal to my force and
the Forge World Black Templar Dreadnought looks
awesome.
Too much cool stuff, too little
time. |
