Combat Patrol: Black Templars
Faith, fury, and an alarming number of swords.
On the eve of battle, the Black Templars assemble not for a quiet chat, but for thunderous prayer, oath-swearing, and a level of intensity that makes everyone nearby reconsider their life choices. Led in fiery devotion by their champions, they take up a mighty vow — a sacred promise they intend to keep with extreme enthusiasm.
And at the centre stands Vedrenn, the Emperor’s Champion, freshly touched by visions of duty and destiny. It now falls to him to drag—ahem, inspire—his brethren to uphold their holy oath without hesitation, doubt, or any unnecessary heresy.
Whether you're beginning a crusade of your own or adding more righteous zeal to an existing Black Templars force, this Combat Patrol box gives you a complete, vow-driven army — and saves you money compared to buying everything separately. Leading the charge is an Emperor’s Champion armed with the legendary Black Sword, supported by elite warriors, veteran swordsmen, and a Crusader Squad ready to hold objectives with earnest piety and pointy weapons.
Rules for this Combat Patrol can be downloaded for free from the Warhammer Community website — presumably approved by the Chaplains.
This Crusade-worthy force includes:
-
1× Emperor’s Champion — visions, vows, and extremely sharp edges
-
3× Bladeguard Veterans — shields, relic armour, and unsubtle opinions about heretics
-
5× Sword Brethren — stylishly lethal
-
10× Crusaders — Initiates & Neophytes united in holy enthusiasm
Total: 19 miniatures of pure, disciplined zeal

All models arrive unassembled and unpainted — for best results, use Citadel Plastic Glue, Citadel Colour paints, and perhaps recite a small prayer before clipping the sprues.
After all, the Emperor protects… but careful hobby work helps too.
