Please GW. Please actually sell a limited edition emperor's champion model with a spotlight. I'd actually buy this immediately just because it would be so ridiculous.

The Kill Team article from today mentions a Black Templar launch box (like Beast Snaggas)

Primaris Crusader squad is 1 Sword Brother, 5 to 11 Initiates, 4 to 8 Neophytes

If that's true that's a huge release. I was expecting codex, emperors champion new model and like a upgrade spur to make crusaders...
I guess GW thinks there is always room to sell more marines.

I remember back in the day, you could take really large units of initiates. I'm hoping some of that flavor will return, as Black Templars are a really strange outrider of a marine force.

The 20 man Crusader squad appears to still be a thing, even on the primaris side. 20 initiatiates w no Neophytes was ~3e lol...before there were non sniper scouts to be the Neophytes Love tye human wave that BT can be conceptually

What's this? Some Black Templars engaging in ranged combat, rather than GLORIOUS MELEE COMBAT! ? I don't know how to feel about that.

It makes me wonder what awesome new range the Knight flamers will get. I mean... if a tiny handheld flamer can reach 15"... then what about a flamer that's as large as some tanks? Or maybe they'll balance it with more shots?
*shrug* should be interesting, though I can see guard, GSC, Aeldari, and any melee army seeing these and crying bloody tears. a 15" flamer is hideous, you can overwatch literally anything.

So the chain on the wrist, plus the distinctly-black-templar chest-eagle, plus looking at intercessor sprues and way they are built... This essentially confirms BTs will get their own kits for their unique units, or least a very-generous upgrade kit that comes with entire weapon-arms and alternate chest-plates.
