eard third-hand from the same person that provided me with
this rumour; to be digested with the usual pinch of salt.
(alles aus Bolter and Chainsword von einem Typen den ich nicht kenne und daher nix dazu sagen kann - aber ich lass es trotzdem mal da)
September 2021:
New Ork releases alongside a Black Templars army box, similar to the Sisters' and Beast Snaggas' boxes, containing:
- Codex
- Cards
- Crusader Squad (6 Initiates and 4 Neophytes)
- Emperor's Champion
- Seneshal
- Redemptor
October and November 2021:
Complete BT release with
- Ancient,
- Helbrecht,
- Grimaldus,
- Emperor's Champion,
- Seneshal,
- Initiates (6 Marines with Intercessor CC equipment or auto bolt rifles),
- 4 Neophytes (boltguns or chainsword).
The Crusader kit will have options for a Sword Brother unit leader with cape, and there's a 15" AP-1 flamer.
The Sword Brother kit will have plenty of CC options and the option to make a Marshal (like with the Custodes Warden kit that gives you the option of making a Captain).
There will be two Crusader Squads: the old one that everyone knows and a new one made up exclusively of Primaris. The latter will be 5-11 Primaris Initiates, 4-8 Primaris Neophytes, and 1 Primaris Sword Brother. Neophytes will have 2 W and 2 A like other Primaris.
There'll also be a conversion/bitz/upgrade sprue that will have Templar relics on it (so-and-so's helmet, the sword of such-and-such, etc.), shotguns for Neophytes. and more customisation options like extra arms (Neophyte holding a helmet), or backpack-mounted candles. There will also be a multi-melta which will become a BT vehicle option. It'll replace the stubber on Primaris vehicles.
There will also be a Kill Team box with Sisters Neophytes (new kit and unit entry) vs T'au Pathfinders (upgrade kit) with existing Imperial city terrain.
December 2021:
Custodes and Genestealer Cults with a box, similar to the Hexfire (TS v GK) one, containing both factions, with a new character for each: GSC Saboteur and Custodes Lieutenant.
