Make Black Templars Even More Zealous With The Execrator
June 24, 2025 by brennon
Games Workshop are working to make sure that the Black Templars keep their holy vows on the battlefields of Warhammer 40,000. The Chaplains of the Black Templars take the form of the Execrator, who inspire their fellow Battle Brothers and are often first through the breach.

The Execrators drive their allies onwards using their rule, Remorseless Persecution. This drives their unit into a berserk fury, allowing them to Advance and Charge in the same turn. If you've got some tooled-up Sword Brethren nearby, then this turns them into a lethal threat.

The Execrator is no shrinking violet either and is equally as adept in combat as his fellow Battle Brothers. You can mix and match the weapon options for the Execrator, dropping the pyre pistol in favour of a master-crafted power sword, which works in addition to the crozius. Brutal.

The new miniature looks excellent and very in keeping with the style of the Black Templars. I do prefer the skull helmet, but I like the idea of dropping the pyre pistol and going full-on melee with the Execrator. Throw them into the heart of battle and make sure the Emperor's Crusade continues without fail.
What do you make of the new Execrator?

It sounds like someone who enjoys taking a dump on.. I don’t know..psykers and xenos…maybe? The model I do like, I have to admit.
Sounds like a right load of shit[snip: potty mouth Ed]
“Excrementator” – one who poops potatoes?
Awful naming 😂
Gotta agree with the others about the name for this guy. Just imagining all of those 14 yos standing around the gaming table taking the piss out of their mate who plays Execrator in their Black Templar army. Maybe get him and paint him in brown armour just for a laugh.
From a lore point of view I think the name is quite fitting… after all the Black Templars are a Imperial Fist second founding chapter, and the Imperial Fists have that ceremony that Ian Watson described in Space Marine:
“Each ball commemorated the initiation of a group of ex-cadets, throughout the aeons – each being a nugget of the liquid amber and blood drunk from Rogal Dorn’s own chalice by the Reclusiarch of whichever epoch, and defecated by him subsequently in this shape.”
They do seem to be bring back some old Rogue Trader lore after all.
