Customer Reviews
For the Templars
Any Black Templar player of 40k should read this book. Read and be inspired to build an army worthy of the Black templars and the Hero of Helsreach.
Masterpiece.
This is the first 40k novel I’ve finished. It’s a surprisingly beautiful story, given the setting, of overcoming impossible odds and the sacrifices made along the way. I love the moments of humanity that peek through the Templars’ otherwise callous demeanor.
Amazing read!
As someone who is a fan of warhammer you learn very quickly that the black templars have a very known and deserved stigma for being somewhat heartless with no real care for human life. Knowing this it really just allows for Grimaldis’s character to shine. Warning, this book may convince you to fork out the $60 it costs to buy Grimaldis’s mini!!
