Today is a historic day for the Space Empire as Baracus is chosen as Warmaster. Baracus is the first Black Templar to achieve this office. Many marines remember a time when Black Templars were not even allowed to vote in Space Marine Councils.

However some found comfort from the fact that his Warmaster Secundus is a White Scar.

Baracus' campaign was bitterly opposed by Machain, an Ultramarine hero who was once held prisoner for 6 years. Machain also made history by choosing Sister Palatine of the Adeptus Soritus as his Warmaster Secundus, the first time a Battle Sister was nominated for the post.

Baracus assumes his post in a troubled time with the Space Empire engulfed in two wars and an economy still reeling from a crash in the price of Franklin Mint Collector's Plates.

He will replace outgoing Warmaster Vepres in 2 months.

10/10. Add to the articles.

Much better than my effort :(

Now all we need are photoshopped pics of the candidates in power armor.

"This is a great day, not only for Black Templars but for all Marines" said Chapter Master Jose Rodriquez Salvador Fidel Dominco Domingo.

"It is a sign that if a Black Templar can become Warmaster then any Marine can, whether you are a Red Falcon, a Golden Dragon, a Crescent Crusader, a Rainbow Warrior or from my Chapter the Brown Condors. I am proud that every scout and neophite can now proudly say 'someday I will be Warmaster of the Space Empire.'"

genius

OMG that is one of the funniest things I've seen
