The Black Templars

Battle Cry:
"No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!"

Specialty: Close Quarter Combat

History:
During Horus' attack on the Emperor's Palace, Rogal Dorn chose Sigismund as the Emperor's Champion, and Sigismund was given the best armour and weapons. He went forward to challenge the traitorous leaders in single combat, and triumphed over all he met in battle. After the Horus Heresy, the breakdown of the Imperial Fists into Codex chapters was demanded by Roboute Guilliman. Dorn thought him a coward for not being there with the Ultramarines to help in the defence of Terra. Guilliman in his turn thought a rebel of Dorn for not adhering to the new Codex Astartes.
Neither would give in. Leman Russ, primarch of the Space Wolves, and Vulkan, primarch of the Salamanders both agreed with Dorn, they also did not want their Legions split up and spread across the galaxy. Raven Guard primarch Corax and Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars supported the Ultramarines. Again a civil war was looming on the horizon.
The Imperial Fists were persecuted for their so called heresies and even fired upon by the Imperial Navy. When it looked almost inevitable that civil war would be fought, Dorn finally relented and agreed to split his legion in chapters as dictated by the Codex Astartes. The Imperial Fists were split up and the Crimson Fists and the Black Templars chapters were created.
Sigismund, who was chosen as Emperor's Champion by Dorn, led the more zealous of the Imperial Fists as the Black Templar chapter and was elevated to the rank of first High Marshal of the Black Templars. Sigismund swore an oath that upon leaving Terra, he and his new chapter would prove their loyalty by never resting in his duties against enemies of the Emperor. Every High Marshal after him has renewed this oath and as such, the Black Templars Crusade is the longest Space Marine Crusade ever begun and has continued for over ten thousand years.
Because of this unending crusade, the Black Templars live on their Crusade Fleets and use the planets they conquer to establish Chapter Keeps which are used for recruitment and staging areas.

@MrWarthfull Nobody here actually cares about your sexual orientation.

Black Templars:

as manly as the Manly Marines.

and as angry as the Angry Marines.

[Sindri257]

Kein Mitleid! Keine Gnade! Keine Furcht!

No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!

Pas de Pitié! Pas de Remords! Pas de Peur!

[Pyrotechnics45]

@necrophadian He never said they were angrier, just that they were as angry as the ANGRY MARINES.

[necrophadian]

[04ging]

problem grey knights are now so easy to beat with templars its funny puting down sword brethren terminators on greyknight terminator and watching them die in one turn

[valcan321]

@nvrjioa Yes but the fact remains the Grey Knights are perhaps the perfect warriors. No cracks in faith even in the form of the most corrupt gods. As deadly as any 2 space marines. Then they are also incredable powerful psychics.

No one knows about them but they still exist.

[nvrjioa]

@valcan321 grey knights are the secretive order of the ordo malleus...no one but the Inquisition knows about them.

@uefo112 I am sorry but this is an Imperial Guard citation from Warmaster Solon . Read the Manual.

[Soldierofdoom444]

The Emperor, may he guide my blade well as I use it to purge the heretics that wish to revoke his will. In the Emperor's name, I shall not fail him. In the Emperor's name, I shall obey him. In the Emperor's name, BURN THE HERETICS!!

NO PITY!

NO REMORSE!

NO FEAR!

[valcan321]

@TheBXpress The ultimate marine!.........but wait what are the grey knights then?!
