The Black Templars are a crusading Chapter of the Emperor's Space Marines who wage faith-fuelled campaigns of fiery extermination against Humanity's many enemies.  Scions of the Primarch Rogal Dorn, they still cleave to the tenets laid down by their Chapter's founder, the legendary swordsman Sigismund.  The Black Templars hail the Emperor not only as the Master of Mankind but also as a literal deity to whom war is a religious duty.  In his name, they swear binding vows to extinguish their most hated foes, - the repugnant heretic, the blasphemous mutant and abominable xenos, the despised witch - and to uphold the God-Emperor's honour.  Theirs is a ceaseless crusade.  IT is fought with holy blades and bolts, with the cleansing inferno of fire, with scripture-etched battle tanks and gunships, and with the righteous fury of their zealous faith.
