Black Templars: Heroes of the Eternal Crusade – Part 3

Title: “Echoes of Vengeance: The Unyielding Resolve of the Black Templars”

In a universe crammed with unyielding horrors and ceaseless warfare, the Black Templars stand out as an epitome of vengeance and undying resolve. Their marshal, resolute and unflinching, was often seen locked in his oath of revenge, pledging to see the demise of the dreaded Necron Imotech. However, some Templars, familiar with the undying Necrons, harbored doubts. They questioned the feasibility of their marshal’s mission, fearing that preventing the resilient mechanical foe from teleporting to safety and completely annihilating it might prove a Herculean task even for a hardened chapter of Space Marines, regardless of their zeal.

When the Great Rift swept across the galaxy, it severely scattered the Black Templar’s fleet. As they regrouped, Primarch Roboute Guilliman arrived. High Marshal Helbrecht, undeterred by the chaos and isolation rampant in the Imperium, welcomed both the Primarch and the newly joined Primaris Marines into his chapter.

Guilliman, before his departure, reminded the High Marshal of the blade he carried – a symbol of office that has been wielded by every High Marshal since Sigismund. Forged from the remnants of Rogal Dorn’s blade, the Sword of the High Marshals serves as a constant reminder of their duty. Humbled by Guilliman’s broader perspective, High Marshal Helbrecht dispatched Black Templars Crusades to aid every Ecclesiarchy world within reach, displaying the chapter’s unwavering dedication to their mission.

The Black Templars have been led by many formidable High Marshals. One of those, High Marshal Sanandas, commanded the Black Templars during the Wars of Apostasy in the 36th Millennium. Known for his fierce vengeance, Sanandas led his crusades with unmatched fury. His relentless pursuit of justice and retribution scorched worlds across the galaxy until his death.

High Marshal Burmont was another prominent figure who served the Black Templars in the mid-32nd Millennium. His pivotal role in the desperate battles against the massive Ork incursion that threatened Terra during the War of the Beast is still remembered. Known for his headstrong and strong-willed nature, Burmont led his chapter in the attack by his fellow successor chapters against the Greenskins, embodying the unique code and practices of the Black Templars.

In the grim darkness of the far future, the Black Templars’ saga of vengeance and relentless pursuit of justice persists. Their zeal, unyielding resolve, and commitment to their duty, even in the face of insurmountable odds, continue to echo through the millennia, a testament to their indomitable spirit. Their tale is a testament to their status as the Imperium’s unyielding sword arm, a beacon of resilience amidst the darkness of the 41st Millennium.
