I plan on getting both of the figures to add to my slow rising collection, but to display with the other black templars. It'll probably be Rolantus as the Emperor's Champion, but give him one of Bayard's necklaces for that extra bit of detail. Knowing that if a champion falls, the objective of the templars is to than recover the armor and the sword as top priority is such a cool lore detail in my eyes. So having Rolantus dawning one of Bayard's necklaces, I see as being apart of the champion's armor.
In the game mechanics you can't have two Emperor's Champion unit on the tabletop they're unique HQs. It's possible to have more than one Emperor's Champions you can have one per crusade and there are always dozens of Black Templar crusades on going at all times, it's just very rare the God Emperor grants a warrior a vision and thus a champion rises. However in the recent lore the Emperor sent one vision to two warriors, an apothecary and High Marshal Helbrecht sending them on the same quest, which technically made them both the Emperor's Champion.

The hand is better on rolantus... I kinda wish there's third party hand for bayard's champion.

That's for sharing.

I just want Sigismund. A champion who earned his strips. None of this chosen vision crap.
Maybe, but Rolantus still looks great.
