Warhammer 40k fluff thread VI: They see me Ward'en, they haten

[Borgh]

A White Scars successor chapter that happens to have fluff you like?

All this talk of Crimison Fists got me thinking about their sibling chapter. The Black Templars are known for being fanatical adherents of the Imperial Cult, but was that even a thing at the time of the Second Founding?

Well the BT were the most rabid fanatics of the Imperial Fists legion, lead by Sigismund "chosen as the Emperors Champion for his fervent faith in the emperor and his undying devotin to mankind" (BT codex)

so yeah, adherents to the cult as far as possible. Remember that the Cult as we know it today did not exist until several thousand years after empy bit the dust.
