sorry about last post. Heres what I got

Black Templars rumors

Rumors are surfacing on BOLS pointing to the boys in black coming after the Necrons.

Also, from what I heard the Black Templar upgrade packs can no longer be ordered, so that would seem to support the rumors.

A little info but nothing solid.

- Phil Kelly is writing the Codex.
- More emphasis on the horde aspect of the army with lots of large units of Initiates and Neophytes.
- Emperors Champion is more in line with the company champion of the Grey Knights but is still 2 wounds. Gains preferred enemy against independent characters and monstrous creatures.

- The Rightous Zeal rule could be changing to be more along the lines of the Rage USR. Something along the lines of if they fail a Ld test then they are subject to Rage and must advance towards the nearest enemy unit. As yet the details are sketchy.
- All the current special characters (ie: Helbrect and Grimaldius) will remain. Also I had heard of an mention of a special character who is like the greatest of all of the Emperor's Champions and the greatest warrior in the Black Templars. I had heard mention of a bike mounted special character with a lance like weapon but I cannot confirm this.

Remember its just a rumor!.

The upgrade sprue can still be ordered from the website. Trust me, if models being unable to be ordered were a sign then Sisters would have been out early last year. I'm betting Black Templars will be out next year sometime but not "next".

I was allso thinking Sister of battle after necrons but its anyones guess atm

I also believe I read these changes somewhere on Dakka already!

Some additional bits.

Hope Phil Kelly is not writing it, Sororitas and Tau need him more.

How quaint, a redundant thread for a redundant army.
