Templar Scouts Squad – Gothic Crusader Recon Miniatures

Silent, relentless, and sworn to the long pilgrimage of holy warfare, the Templar Scouts Squad represents the first step on the path toward full knighthood. Though lightly armoured compared to their fully initiated brethren, these initiates stride into war with the same unwavering zeal, guided by creed, duty, and flame-bound conviction.

Each of the five templar scouts is equipped with gear suited for infiltrations, reconnaissance, and precise strikes, perfect for commanders who want fast, efficient operatives who still carry the imposing aesthetic of the Templar orders. Robed tabards, devotional symbols, purity gear, and rugged battlefield equipment give the squad a gritty, grounded crusader feel that fits seamlessly into any Gothic crusading force.

The Templar Scouts Squad kit includes multiple weapon poses, dynamic body stances, and detailed heads, all sculpted with the iconic monastic style unique to the order. Whether placed on the frontline as forward skirmishers or used as stealth specialists, these templar scouts are a thematic way to reinforce the zeal of your crusading army.

Across the Templar Scouts Squad, the templar scouts theme shines through: unyielding faith, martial simplicity, and a raw, apprentice-like energy that makes them stand out beside more ornate warriors. Ideal for painters looking for grim-dark robes, stark contrasts, and weathered armour details.
