Hey guys, I have been wondering on everyones opinion on Black Templars and Dark Angels? And remember this is a multiple choice answered poll.

How can you even compare those two?

You just decide, and comment why.

Not like that, like black templars are much much better than dark angels. They should never be compared

Dark Angels are emo marines. Black Templar are far cooler.

I some what agree with you on that. I am glad I don't play dark angels anymore. I am going to collect some BT too.

You are really universal guy

Yes indeed! LOL I play the Imperium but my heritage is Tau.
Born by Tau raised by the imperium.

What is your opinion, and why?

Dark Angels because they arn't over zealous nutcases?

In seriousness, a decently constructed argument for one case over the other would be helpful.

I still have to say BT, they are suicidal awesome!

Right ive never understood the whole emo thing people say about DA's, i always think Blood angels are emo's they have "daddy left me issues" then get angry start self harming so get locked in a dark room till battle then get dressed in black oh and they seem the sensitive tpes with there crying face masks etc.
DA's are solem and monastic not self hating.
And on a crusade to redeem themselves (hmmmm who else loves a crusade)

I don't get the emo DA either, the only thing they have worth whinging about they notably don't ever whinge about ever because it is super secret and if anyone ever finds out it's Excommunicatus Traitoris. The Lion is probably the most emotionally bereft of all the Primarchs, too. Hardly competes with Corax's vigil of dark-and-gloomy or Dorn getting half his legion killed because he let daddy down.

I never said their emo, I just don't care for them.

While the Dark Angels are whining about the fallen and cutting themselves, the Black Templars are our their, 6k strong, and balls to the walls over zealous dropping down to a planet, ripping the Heretics and/or Xenos filth a new one and going of their merry genocidal ways!

Dosn't mean i hate the angels, but i think a lot of what they do is sort of, well, heretical. For example, in the Templar codex, the entry of the Crusade of the Ophidium gulf, A small crusade with just under 100 initiates, come upon a desolate and already purged system, the Templars touch down and find out the Dark angels were in the are, they help them find a supposed traitor, and when the templars get to him first and capture him, the Dark angels captain becomes angry and threatens to fire on them, shortly after the transaction the Templars disapear and have not made contact with a Chapter keep since 998 of M41. You can only guess what happened....

I don't hate them though, and in fact i love the Death Wing origin story and a lot of the raven wing fiction.

Ya great summary! XD

Why is every thread you start inane.

Bit harsh, theres been a few goodies by Baal in the last while, kids in warhammer and army painter being two notable classics

Yeah the Army Painter thread was pretty epic. It still has my Trolldar pinging. You missed the "make my friend stop changing armies" thread started by our Dark Angels, no Blood Angels, no Tau, no Templar and bash DA...OP.

Black Templars are pretty cool, they conquer planets and doesn't afraid of anything!



That said, Black Templars don't listen to the nonsense about the Codex Astartes, they're to busy doing what the Emperor told them to do.

look look cant we all just agree that space wolves are just terrible

Damn you saw through my carefully planned facade......

I had to physically contain myself when I saw a rather dignified and generally unsnarky guy who plays IG finish whipping a Puppies army and calmly look his munchkin opponent (a WAAC cries when he loses player) in the eyes and say, "just call me the dog catcher"
I love seeing SW players put in thier place.

The genocidal eyes of a Templar see all !

Joking of course, we're blinded by fury.

As for the last SW comment, that must be priceless.

True dat my robe wearing battle brother. Blood angels are more emo then emos are.

Dark Angels are far superior for a number of reasons.
1. We are one of the original 20 legions.
2. We get funky robes and green power armour, the best colour armour.
3. We have a purpose in life (find the fallen, who you aint supposed to know about), while BT just travel the galaxy mindless slaughtering anything with special powers.
4. We managed to defeat Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka without the help of 23 other chapters and 20 Imperial guard regiments and other assorted imperial forces.
5. ?????
6. Profit.

The only reason I would start dark angels as an army, is to do deathwing. But I love their fluff as well.

I prefer the whole templar fluff, crusading and such, and I like the idea of a full battle-brother training up scouts as apprentices, Its nice in that Its different. But hey, DA have that whole "dirty secret" thing going on. In conclusion, they are both way better than the Ultramarines .
