Knight Of The Dark Crusaders Classic Edition

Faith made armour. This is a crusader-pattern space marine in the Black Templars mould, a warrior sworn to a campaign with no end date, whose whole visual language is built around closing the distance: vows and seals hung off the plate, chained tokens, a blade carried instead of a rifle. In the grim far future he is the zealot the rest of the Imperium is quietly nervous about. The Classic Edition billing points at the older, blunter reading of the archetype, heavy pauldrons and a squared-off helm rather than modern filigree. It works as a proxy for players building a melee-heavy crusading force, and just as well as a single painting subject, where the cloth and drapery of the type give a brush plenty to do. Slots straight into skirmish and army-scale grimdark collections.
