Black Templars
Join the Eternal Crusade: Black Templars
The Black Templars are a fanatical, unyielding Chapter of Space Marines who have been waging an uninterrupted, galaxy-spanning crusade for over ten thousand years. Rejecting a stationary homeworld, they live aboard massive fleet warships, traveling from one warzone to the next to purge the alien, the mutant, and the heretic. Bound by ancient oaths of honor and a zealous devotion to the Emperor, they march into battle as holy knights, clad in stark black and white armor.
How Do the Black Templars Play? (Playstyle Overview)
If you love a highly aggressive, melee-focused army that shuts down enemy psychic powers and thrives on sweeping across the battlefield in massive waves of infantry, the Black Templars are an incredibly fun choice. For beginners, their tabletop strategy centers on three main pillars:
- Righteous Melee Crusades: Black Templars despise the cowardice of long-range warfare. Their unique chapter mechanics grant huge bonuses to charging and fighting in close combat, turning your squads into unstoppable blender units once they reach enemy lines.
- Unique Crusader Squads: Unlike standard Space Marine chapters, the Black Templars train their recruits directly on the battlefield. You get access to unique Primaris Crusader Squads, which mix fully-fledged Initiates with fresh Neophytes (scouts) into massive, high-model-count infantry blocks that look spectacular on the table.
- Anti-Psychic Vows: They harbor a deep hatred for warp sorcery. Before the battle even begins, you select a holy "Vow" that shapes your entire army's rules for the game—including powerful abilities that grant your warriors extra resilience or let them shrug off deadly enemy psychic attacks.
