Wd 487 BT traitors?

[Brother Carpenter]

Hi. I was just leafing through wd487 and there is a red angel fluff section with battle reports. One of those speak of attacks by turned forces consisting of heretic astartes including black templars and crimson guard. 

Was one of the bt fluffs not that they couldnt be turned due to their religious zeal. Or is castallan draco finally revealing himself?

Propaganda.

Don't have 487 yet, but I assume the BTs in question were part of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus.

There was old lore that no Templar had ever turned, not that they ever could. The could not was pretty much reserved for grey knights. 

 

That's a bit out of date unfortunately. Also, not sure if this is news.

Well OBVIOUSLY if they turned they were not a TRUE Templar! -Quote from our local SW player but SW swapped for BT

I haven't read the book, but Valrak did a video about how something angron did turned a ton of astartes, including Salamanders and Black Templars, to chaos through madness.

Its not the usual case of marines falling to chaos, but a supercharged version of Angrons rage reflected at them by a Psychic Beacon. It drove Indomitus Fleet Quartus into madness and Khorne worship. There are now Chaos corrupted Primaris Marines as a result. So while there are Chaos corrupted Black Templars, its through no fault of their own

Pretty sure there was an Ex-Templar Red corsair in an Inferno story years ago too? It was a long time ago though, entirely possible im wrong :D

Everyone but the Emperor can fall to Chaos! I’m glad GW are highlighting it more 

[Brother Jobu]

Nonsense, It's just Alpha Legion traitors using equipment scavenged from fallen heroes to sew discord and unease throughout the loyalist forces. Nothing to see here, just keep moving along and going about your Emperor assigned duties. Thank You.

Sadly or not, there are BT, and many other Imperium armies (including Primaris,) that have fallen to chaos through Angron blowing up a world with the power of Khorne. Fallen to chaos is fallen to chaos…

I remember at least three instances in which the Templar found themselves labeled inappropriately: The Crusade of the Ophidium Gulf, the Wars of Apostasy (closely followed by the Vandire Crusade), and the War of the Beast when the Imperial Fist 2nd founding chapters reformed the Legion in defense of Terra.

 

Another point to mention is the continued strife between Templars and Inquisitors or others for not adhering to the Codex as stringently as other chapters.
