I heard of something similar. Though the only mention I can find is a worry that the Black Templars have too many members.

Also the Black Templars were some of the first Space Marines to fight the Sisters before they were recognized by the Imperium and taken into the Inquisition. Black Templars, Imperial First, Fire Hawks, and Soul Drinkers if 40k wiki is correct.
