Hi all, I have round about a 2000 pts Space Marine army and I was wondering whether I should collect Crimson Fists or Black Templars or possibly both.

Templars are a more customizable army, and their special rules are amazing (not as good as Wolves in my opinion, but still good). And they have better fluff. Crimson Fists do the shooty thing better though, and if you have Pedro Kantor in your army, your Sternguard Veterans (my fav. unit) count as scoring and can hold objectives.

Yes, I have Pedro Kantor and plan to get sternguard.

I highly recomend Crimson Fists. But i like to shoot instead of assault, so i never have liked black templars.
