Games Workshop: Warhammer 40,000 - Chaplain Grimaldus & Retinue (1 Miniature)

The Reclusiarch of Helsreach

Few characters in the Black Templars' long history carry the weight that Chaplain Grimaldus does. He held the Helsreach Basilica against an ocean of Orks, and emerged — barely — as a legend. Placing this model on the table is a statement. The sculpt captures that gravity: the ornate crozius, the relics of fallen brothers mounted on his armour, the bearing of a warrior-priest who has seen the worst the galaxy offers and refused to yield. This is the kind of centrepiece model that draws eyes across the table before a single die is rolled.

What's in the Box

This kit contains Chaplain Grimaldus himself alongside his Cenobyte Servitor retinue — servo-skulls and servitors that trail in his wake, each carrying a relic of the Helsreach campaign. Grimaldus is a named character for the Black Templars, one of the most detailed and narrative-rich models in the Space Marines range. The kit is a multi-part plastic kit, meaning you'll need plastic glue and a hobby knife for assembly. The level of detail rewards careful construction and painting — this is a model built for the hobbyist who wants to do justice to the lore.

Who This Is For

Black Templars players will find Grimaldus a compelling choice both on the tabletop and the painting desk. His retinue makes him visually distinct from any other Space Marine character — there is nothing generic about this kit. Experienced painters looking for a characterful project will find plenty of surface detail to work with: battle-worn armour, draped parchment, hanging relics, and the skull-heavy iconography the Black Templars are known for. He also makes an exceptional gift for the Warhammer 40,000 collector who follows the lore — Grimaldus has his own novel and carries real narrative weight in the setting.
