Games Workshop Launch a Slew of New Pre-Orders

Body

Those of you playing Black Templars and Grey Knights are about to receive some welcome reinforcements.

Revealed yesterday on the Games Workshop website, these new goodies offer not only support for existing Black Templar and Grey Knights players, but also offer a welcome jumping on point for those of you looking to field a new chapter. The new Black Templar Combat Patrol, for instance, includes the Emperor’s Champion, three Bladeguard Veterans, five Sword Brethren, and 10 Crusaders.

A collection of 20 miniature figures representing the Black Templars from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, arranged on a light-colored surface. The models are predominantly clad in black armor with red and white accents, showcasing various weapons such as swords, bolters, and shields. Some figures are posed dynamically, while others stand in more static positions, highlighting their distinct roles within the chapter, including a prominent figure likely representing the Emperor’s Champion.

Not to be outdone, the Grey Knights have deployed both a new Combat Patrol and a Sanctic Conclave. The former is composed of five Brotherhood Terminators, a 10-man Strike Squad, and a mighty Venerable Dreadnought, all of which are led by Castellan Crowe, a ‘peerless duellist who wields the Black Blade of Antwyr’.

A collection of 15 miniature figures from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, showcasing the Black Templars and Grey Knights. The front center features a prominent character in ornate armor, holding a banner, flanked by various warriors equipped with swords, guns, and other weapons. The figures are painted in a mix of silver, black, and red, with intricate details highlighting their armor and weaponry, set against a simple brown base.

Meanwhile, the Grey Knights Sanctic Conclave, meanwhile, contains five Paladins, five Brotherhood Terminators, and a set of 20 Grey Knights, all commanded by a mighty Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight.

A detailed assembly of miniatures showcases a variety of Grey Knights and Black Templars figures. Prominently featured in the center is a large Venerable Dreadnought, flanked by several smaller models, including Paladins, Brotherhood Terminators, and various infantry armed with swords and banners. The figures are intricately painted in shades of silver and black, with red accents, set against a sandy base, creating a dynamic and visually striking display.

If these two sets don’t pack quite enough punch for you, then fear not; further backup is available, with Black Templars now able to call upon a Crusade Ancient and one of the ‘fervent warrior-priests’ known as the Execrators.

The figure is clad in dark armor with silver accents, wielding a sword in one hand while the other grips the banner pole. An inset image shows an alternative assembly option for the banner, highlighting different design elements.

A Black Templar miniature stands prominently, showcasing a heavily armored figure with a skull-like face and a large, ornate shoulder pad.

The base features grass and rocky terrain, enhancing the model's dynamic pose and detailing. An inset image highlights optional assembly features for customization.

And here’s a little something for fans of dice and datacards:

A pack of Grey Knights dice is displayed alongside a set of Grey Knights datasheet cards, both featuring the Warhammer 40,000 branding. The dice are predominantly grey with a white design, while the datasheet card pack showcases a striking illustration of a Grey Knights character in armor, wielding a weapon and surrounded by a dramatic background. The overall presentation emphasizes the thematic elements of the Grey Knights faction in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

A set of Black Templars-themed dice and datasheet cards is displayed prominently. The dice are black with red symbols, featuring a star design, while the datasheet cards are packaged in a box that showcases a Black Templar warrior in armor, wielding a weapon. The background of the card features a dramatic illustration of other Black Templar figures, emphasizing the theme of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Details and rules for all of these new releases can be found in the forthcoming Black Templars and Grey Knights codices. These new tomes are available in both standard and collectors’ editions.

If that’s not enough for you, then might the new Grey Wolves or Tyrannid Combat Patrols be enough to slake your thirst?

A collection of miniatures features a variety of Grey Wolves and Tyranids, showcasing detailed paintwork and dynamic poses. The Grey Wolves are predominantly clad in blue armor with yellow accents, wielding various weapons such as chainswords and bolters, while some figures display intricate details like fur and armor embellishments. The scene includes a mix of infantry and larger characters, emphasizing the diverse range of units available for players.

A diverse array of Warhammer miniatures is displayed, featuring various Tyranid models in shades of purple and pink. The collection includes several distinct figures such as a large creature with wings, smaller alien-like beings, and a mix of infantry and monstrous units, all set on textured bases. The background is plain, allowing the vibrant colors and intricate details of the miniatures to stand out prominently.

That’s a chunky set of new 40k goodness, right? Well, if your nerves—and your wallet—can take it, then get the full skinny on the Games Workshop website.

Black Templars get a new warrior-priest called the Execrator this month, though perhaps they should've workshopped that name a bit longer. Fresh Combat Patrols deploy for both Templars and Grey Knights too. #Warhammer40k #BlackTemplars #GreyKnights #GamesWorkshop #TabletopGaming #Miniatures #wh40k
