Update from France n.1

Not related to BTs but to PsyAw 2 in general.

 

Ourt favourite french source threw out a bit of update,saying chaos won't get doctrines nor upgraded legion traits in the book,only warlord traits,relics and stratagems

Adding tag and updating title

[PeteySödes]

If true they are getting the LRC and disengage buffs ive wanted for wolves for years....

[Marshal Loss]

I'm more interested in Chaos popping up, but there is some interesting stuff here. Above all I hope Templars receive some models. If they're not receiving a full supplement, and not receiving Primaris Helbrecht/Grimaldus, what are they getting? An EC and an upgrade sprue? I'd really love to see Templar Sword Brethren as an antidote to Primaris homogeneity. It would be a missed opportunity not to release some dedicated Primaris CC units imo.

[redmapa]

Like I said in the BT forum Im glad that GW is actually giving them an identity in terms of game mechanics as opposed just sub par rules that dont mesh with the codex they are in. I am definitely more optimistic about our future than I was before.

[coldfyre]

These sound amazing! I cam't to hear what our normally grumpy BT friends think about it

[Sete]

Worried about model support thats all. Im not even asking for an IC now, but give me a god damn sprue with a proper power sword at least.

[Redcomet]

They won’t be pleased

[Boyadventurer]

I guess chaos is going to finally get that sorcerer model from the rumour engine

[Chapter Master Valrak]

Really hope they get something, Templars deserve some love!

[Charlo]

BA vs Nids.... *Again* :/ bleh.

[dogfender]

Happy if true for BT players.
Wish they would just push these rule releases out faster. If there isn’t any new models or substance it just makes me want the next event release to come sooner.

Weak bait 2/10

The dude also said Chaos will get around that time the stuff from shadowspear in separate kits i assume.

Black Templar locking their enemy in lethal close quarters combat: Colorized Vid-Feed Capture, Circa 0.251.005M03

[Ishagu]

The rules will be great, I have no doubt.

HOWEVER, I am very disappointed in no new models. The Templars have a very good look to them and deserve some new Primaris heroes. The first model I ever painted was a Templar...

[Sete]

For now its just Hel and Grim. He mentioned them both several times, but nothing on the EC so far. Hope remains.
Since Chaos might have a Sorc he will need a nemesis to face. Who better than the EC?

[Doctor Perils]

Who better than the EC?

EC can also stand for Emperor's Children...

Doesn't mean your sentence is wrong though

[Brother Talarian]

Really looking forward to this potential release!
Honestly if we get decent rules (seems to be the case so far) I’ll be a happy camper.

Model support would be fantastic and really show that BT aren’t forgotten.

Upgrade sprue for intercessors could be cool, with added rules that BT intercessors can wield chainswords or some such.

Primaris EC, while it would probably look super cool would be a bit “meh” in the sense that it would not longer be able to fit into a LRC, Pod, etc. Which is maybe why Halbrecht and Grim aren’t being primarisized.

Anyhow, really looking forward to future leaks!

[MARK0SIAN]

Now if that Strat is charge from a land raider AFTER it moves it will be amazing!

I’d also happily not have any extra relics etc if I could just get some Chainswords on the intercessors

[Wispy]

if there are no new models, that's pretty much says it all about where BT stand iternally with GW, doesn't it?

Does it?

[Son of Carnelian]

Games Workshop does seem to be as stuck in this odd holding pattern in regards to the Black Templars. They never completely discard them, but they don't give them model support either. It begs the question: what are Games Workshop's goals with the Black Templars?

[Reclusiarch Krieg]

The first model I ever painted was a Templar...

And yet you refuse to crusade with us.

> - 1 CP stratagem for charging out of LR crusaders with no overwatch + the charged enemy unit is -1 to hit in HtH

Sold.

We seem to be used as a plot device and everyone around us in the books gets new models, just not us. Well, aside from the whoooole slew of Primaris, but still.

It could be that we're in that limbo of important enough to include in fluff, not numerous enough as fans to cater to with a product. What sells for a whole Codex won't sell as well for a small supplement or sub-part of a Codex.

[Sagentus]

they deserve at least a new emperors champ, draco, helbrecht or grimaldus ... but the rules will help and conversions will have to be made
