This October, the dark shadows of a Crusade fleet are falling over your local Warhammer store, as the Black Templars prepare to launch a fresh assault on the mutant, the witch, and the heretic. If you're champing at the bit to join them, show your dedication to the cause with this commemorative coin.
These coins are only available from your local Warhammer store while stocks last, so mark your calendar for the 2nd of October and ask your local Warhammer store manager how to snaffle yours before your fellow faithful claim them.
If this is your sixth monthly coin, you'll also be able to pick up a beautiful display album – just show all six coins you've collected to your store manager and they'll be glad to hand one over.*
October's Miniature of the Month is perfect to practice highlighting for all of that black armour. This month we're celebrating the Black Templars' rather direct way of waging war with an Assault Intercessor,** fresh from the forges and ready to deliver Astartes-style chainsword justice to the face of an unsuspecting heretic.
He’s available from the 2nd of October while stocks last, so ask your store manager how to get hold of him. The Pick 'N' Mix Paint Set is a good place to start, and you get the most expensive paint free when you buy any 10. You'll be needing plenty of black, white, and red for your Black Templars, and it's probably worth getting a spot of gold too, for when High Marshal Helbrecht arrives.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy Battle Ready Black Templars palette, we recommend you check out the free How to Drybrush Black Armour video over on Warhammer TV. To follow along you’ll need Abaddon Black, Eshin Grey, Dawnstone for the black. For the extra details, Corax White, and Morghast Bone are perfect for the white and any purity seals; Mephiston Red for the red, and Leadbealcher and Retributor Armour are ideal for your metallics. Tie it all together with a wash of Nuln Oil to bring out the details, and base it with Armageddon Dust and you’re good to go! If you want to take your black armour a step further, check out the recent Citadel Colour Masterclass over on Warhammer+.
If you're new to the hobby, this is an excellent time to get started with the Battle Honours programme – a step-by-step guide taking you through the early days of your Warhammer hobby, including loads of fun tasks to do and excellent rewards to earn.
There's a lot to do in-store in October, so find your nearest Warhammer and join the eternal crusade with the Black Templars this month.
