Marshal Rohr Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 What? Who cares. It’s fantastical fiction. If he wants that to happen, so be it. I also noticed the several posts on the forum but didn’t bother replying. He was asking for opinions about a project he considered working on. It’s for HIS pleasure. If you think it’s “cringe” then don’t comment on his post and move on. If you have an idea that can help him with his project present it. His passive aggressive follow up was cringey.

Brother Talarian Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Didn’t read the full thing. But at a quick glance most people’s responses to him, or others saying it’s not plausible is cringe.

Sete Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 People saying it can't happen have the same right as him of saying it can happen. Now on the matter of who is right? That's another beast to tackle. But in this case specifically Emperor Champion, there is no evidence. But I saw someone saying GK get possessed as part of their initiation, so who knows ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353059-lore-question-templars-corruptible/page/2/#findComment-5233287 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Rohr Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It’s one of those ideas that seems cool as a kid. Like you make the connection with being a close combat army and khorne and power armor and suddenly you think you’ve discovered gold and really you just found some painted gold trash. Him doubling down on it and saying he can do it because he’s a mod of that page was a pretty solid indicator what type of person he is.

God bless...god bless. Yeah I'm done with that topic Rhor. It was a waste of time all around.

Brother Talarian Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 By all means, people can have an opinion of either. As you say Sete, there’s no proof for either. I’m in the camp of “anything is plausible until proven impossible”. To say it’s a childish notion and his idea isn’t as cool as he makes it out to be is weak. He thinks it’s cool, good for him. I didn’t notice him make a claim that he can do what he wants because he’s a mod. Would need to read it myself. But he CAN do whatever he wants with his army.

bolvar Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Black templars being afflicted by chaotic boogaloos? Hardly, but not impossible (we aren't zealous enough to fully-completely-absolutely nullify chaos itself... yet) Black templars willingly falling into chaos? Nope^∞.

Brother Tyler Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Note that we had a similar discussion back in 2011. It starts to turn into an echo chamber, but the valid points are made early on.

Slave to Darkness Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The fact remains, at least one Black Templar has been shown to succumb to Chaos, disproving any theories about supposed Black Templars incorruptibility. That wasn't a Templar, it was an Alpha Legion infiltrator who was unable to manifest ZEAL. He was also planted in our chapter to sow discord and distrust amongst the faithful. Chaos is everywhere, even where it isn't. I just shelved a wd from 2003ish that had a squad of posessed csm that were painted and converted to look like fallen imperial sm.There were bt cf an if marines in that squad. So yes bt can be corrupted. Sadly. Umm...no. That was one person's army, not associated with GW, who painted his "possessed" unit that way. That is not evidence that Templars were corrupted, only that followers of Slaanesh have wild imaginations. Which is how you get into trouble. I believe that was our very own Castigators army. Also Possessed doesn't necessarily mean they have fallen, could have been captured and had the Daemons forced into them.
