I finally built up the nerve to read it... and I found it very stupid, ignorant, biased, ironic, moronic, migraine inducing, horrific, malevolent; all that times ten. I can't fathom why Ward would be so stupid in writing it! I have always thought of the hate on Ward as,"it cant be that bad", "we are probably over exaggerating it", I mean, I know what he did to the Sisters, what he did to the Blood Angels and Necrons, and to the Grey Knights, but when he takes it to something I hold dear directly affecting me, it becomes a different story. I can NEVER EVER forgive him for what he did, he has practically ret-conned the purpose of Black Templars by this... heresy... Never ending crusades for Imperial Fists? Bull! They are a turtling chapter, not a zerg chapter whose soul purpose is to crusade Eternally, I mean, that is what our Capital Ship is, the Eternal Crusader... What in the Emperor's name was he thinking? Why does GW keep this guy? Is it because of family ties? pretty much EVERYBODY hates him! And it is only now that I see it as justified! I seriously want to know why they do this to us... We can only take so much bull from GW... just when will it stop... Ok... I think I am done with my ranting now...
Brothers, we are in need of assistance in this thread, come at once and help your fellow Black Templars in battle! http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/thr...-the-heretics-reside.1420/page-607#post-86383
Templars should get a fair chance to be added. Oddly enough they werent included on a post about the 5th chapter, pity.
Templar fan myself and I think people look through all the different factions and one just pops for them. Like something in their life gets played out through the "faction" of choice, making it their favorite. Im a pretty religious person so these guys popped out to me haha.
I actually like BT's because I'm not religious (not in the traditional sense, I am religious, but I am an atheist), and it contrasts with my life, and is sort of a way for me to be super zealous and force others onto my belief because they are wrong, without being actually being a dick XD
