Questions
- What are the best Black Templars units?
- The reviewers' average is S for High Marshal Helbrecht, Impulsor. Then A: Emperor's Champion, Chaplain Grimaldus, Repulsor Executioner, Castellan.
- What do the letters mean?
- Each letter is the average of the letters 8 reviewers gave that unit, S to D. A dashed letter means no reviewer has rated the unit yet, so it's our estimate from SWORD, SHIELD and roles, placed among the army's reviewed units.
- What do SWORD and SHIELD mean?
- How much a unit kills and how hard it is to remove, for its points. Each is 0 to 100: where it ranks among the game's units of its kind: 90 is the top 10%, 20 the bottom 20%, and 50 is typical.
- Which Black Templars units do lists take most?
- Of 50 public lists: High Marshal Helbrecht (39), Emperor's Champion (36), Chaplain Grimaldus (26).
- Which Black Templars detachment do tournament lists take most?
- Assault Brethren: 21 of the 50 Black Templars tournament lists of September – November 2026 took it.
