The Black Templars are the carol singers no-one wants to knock on their door this Grotmas. But you’re going to struggle to get out of the way of such a Wrathful Procession.
The Black Templars excel at shock assaults with heavy infantry. These talents prove especially effective when armoured support is limited, or terrain is too dense to deploy heavier assets. Whether taking an enemy facility corridor by corridor, storming into the breach during a siege, or digging heretics out of thick jungle, the Black Templars are the right answer.
Before such engagements, their leaders fire their fanaticism with hate‐fuelled oratory and vox‐amplified prayer. As one, the Black Templars begin their advance, banners to the fore, a holy procession swiftly gathering pace from stride to lope to thunderous headlong charge that caves in the enemy lines like a ceramite‐clad fist.
The Wrathful Procession is bolstered by Zealous Litanies: a trio of wrathful prayers to choose from each battle round. Whether the situation calls for haste, hatred or contempt, this Detachment has you covered with buffs to Move, Strength and Invulnerable Saves.
This is a Detachment that wants to get across the battlefield and get stuck in, and the Enhancements and Stratagems support this. Nothing says fervour like Fights First, and that’s exactly what the Sacred Rage Enhancement grants its bearer’s unit, once per battle. Meanwhile, the Relentless Momentum Stratagem allows Black Templars in fighting units to attack from up to 3” away – perfect for allowing those large Crusader squads to deliver 100% of their hatred to their foes.
There’s literally zero change in mood tomorrow as we welcome the World Eaters to our already volatile Grotmas pile-on…
