Black Templar in the New Space Marines?


The Battle Report in September the September White Dwarf features the Black Templar. This is a very sure sign that the codex is getting wrapped up into the codex somehow, but there are some oddities when reading through it.


I do not have access to the codex. There are several pages of information from the Elite section of the codex shown in the new White Dwarf, and none of these are showing Black Templar specific units from what I can read.

However, listed in the battle report's list (which is a 2500pt) battle, shows the following units being used that are Black Templar Specific

Emperor's Champion
10 Initiates with 5 Neophytes
Another 8 Initiates with a Sword Brother
Land Raider as a troop dedicated transport

The rest of the units look very Space Marine codex

So is the Black Templar wrapped up into the codex? It sure is looking like it.

p.s. the battle is against Chaos Space Marines with Chaos Daemon allies.
