Bayard is a character from the Warhammer 40,000 game, the Champion of the Emperor of the Black Templars. Bayard served as the Emperor's Champion during the Ghoul Stars Crusade and the Helsreach Crusade. Bayard participated in the final, desperate confrontation of the Templars in the Temple of the Emperor-Rising. He was killed by orcs during this confrontation.
In 2022, as part of the 35th anniversary of Warhammer 40,000, a commemorative miniature was released - Bayard's Revenge. It depicts an unnamed Champion of the Emperor, avenging the death of the real Bayard to the orcs during the events of Helsreach.
