Brother Hadafix Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 This has come about due to another thread looking for thoughts of the UM on the BT. One of the first things to be mentioned was the size of the Black Templars Chapter. The only information I have with the Inquistions involvement with the Black Templara are those that can easily found in the Codex. Are there sources that any here have come across that have any futher information.

Justicar Valius Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Black Templars are a perfectly codex chapter :( say it with me Inquisitor. Basically they don't mind much because almost all of the chapter is in crusades so it is imensely hard to accuaratley guess the Black templar numbers. If the Black Templars are so zealous and they are all fighting the enemies of the imperium why does it matter?

Chengar Qordath Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I would have to agree with Justicar Valius; while the Inquisition might not like the fact that the BT are oversized, so long as the chapter stays split up into crusades and continually fights the enemies of the Emperor it will not be a critical issue. The Inquisition is fairly busy dealing with Chaos, heretics, witches, and a bunch of aliens; the Black Templars would not be at the top of their priority list. That said, I would imagine that the fact that the BT are split into different crusades throughout the galaxy helps a lot in keeping the BT out of trouble. If all the Black Templars were consolidated into a single unified fighting force instead of being split up into Crusades, I imagine that would draw the Inquisition's wrath very quickly. Ten crusades of a thousand marines spread out on opposite corners of the Imperium is much less of a security issue than a massive army of ten thousand Astartes under a single person's command.

Inquisitor =D= Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hmm... even with their increased size though its not too much of a concern. The Black Templars devotion to the emperor and hatred of psychers leaves reletively low chance of them doing anything too out of line. ... Now, as for those sneaky Dark Arngels....

QFT. The only specific issue the =][= has with the Black Templars is their numbers, and they're having some difficulty working out how many there actually are. Other than that it's just routine suspicion.

I am honoured to have you as my first sig quote bearer. Yeh, it's hard to count numbers when they are all fighting in oppostie sides of the imperium and as long as they're fighting for the imperium, why does it matter?

Brother Hadafix Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I am honoured to have you as my first sig quote bearer Its the kind of thing I could almost imagine a junior Inquisitor being told, and fits my humour on the whole grim dark 40k universe. Almost as funny as Grimaldus and some of his conversations with a Precept in Helsreach. Yeh, it's hard to count numbers when they are all fighting in oppostie sides of the imperium and as long as they're fighting for the imperium, why does it matter? As said, it became a large part of a tread I started in the UM forum. There are those that think the =][= would think to split them, though I think the memory of Vandire and a long history of loyalty may put some off the idea. And as some have stated, who else is keeping the enemies of man so busy?

And as some have stated, who else is keeping the enemies of man so busy? There's more than that - Space Marine chapters can demand a formal trial in response to any accusations (although that would probably mean temporary disarmament until a verdict of innocence, which is why it isn't always chosen). As long as the true numbers of the Black Templars are unknown, there is no evidence. The High Marshal can just say "Prove it" and laugh.

Initiate of the Templar Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Here's the way I view it: Inquisitor 1 goes to investigate the Black Templars of a particular Crusade Inquisitor 1: how many marines are in this crusade? Castellan: a thousand Inquisitor 1: sounds like everything is in order, I'll report to the board with my findings Inquisitor 2 - on the scene of a different crusade Inquisitor 2 : how many marines are in this crusade? Marshall: a thousand Inquisitor 1: sounds like you're up to snuff; I will inform my superiors. Rinse and repeat until they all re-convene Inquisitor 1: My findings state that the current strength of the Black Templars is at approximately 1000 marines. Inquisitors 2 - X : I concur President of the Inquisitor's club: then it's settled! The Black Templars are indeed in coherence with Codex regulations, this meeting is adjourned *end of story - snow cones for everyone* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204082-what-is-the-position-on-the-bt/#findComment-2439631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
