Games Workshop Launch a Slew of New Pre-Orders

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.

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’.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.
