As far as what I know from Patrick Balthazar, no Black Templars because it is another Close Combat chapter. And we already have Space Wolves and Blood Angels, with the latter one at least partially melee-focussed.
4- But I have told the community many times..... on the VERY VERY few moment that the community asked me something and where I will NOT be Transparent.... meaning, evasive, look behind you!! or even pulling the Squirel (from the movie UP ;-) ) it can ONLY means these 3 things. 1- We have a surprise for you and we dont want to spoil it. 2-Business situation (like in nego with one potential engine for our game... hence why we have not announced it yet) 3-CLEAR directive from our Licensor. Now, because on the nature of these 3 things.... I CANT tell you which one it is for obvious reason. So, please when you see me being evasive.... if you keep asking, I just become unconfortable because I WISH i could tell you... I just can't. Now regarding Black Templar, the sky is still dark for them.... but I see a small ray of light. ONE thing Black Templar FANS can help is: STOP buying other chapters miniature then CONVERT them into Black Tempar. That does not help their case.... and PLEASE drop this subject until I can give you more info. I know now you love them... and like usual, I work for YOU! love Miguel
I've actually just checked this thread for the first time in months because I figured it had been closed down and here I find a post from Miguel saying my beloved Templars may have a shot at Eternal Crusade! SUCH EXCITE!
Brothers, its more like they were dead and now they have their secondary heart beating a little bit and only one lungs out of 3 still kind of working...... we are still far from a Battle Ready Legionaire! Like I said, I know you want them.... gimme some time to see but please dont get your hopes up to much.
