Aestra orders the terrible Mon’keigh instrument filled with a quick-set resin, while Neni is busy practising her JAIN ZAR voice in front of some enthralled Kabalites.
As Neni is a HOARDER she soon finds another five of the wretched things.

What is Johan's personality like?
In charachter:"I probably annoy more than my fair share- and the brother chaplains say I talk too much, listen too little, and cant think at all- but they say that about most."OOC:He's an innocent pure naieve catholic choir boy who genuinely believes he can save your soul if you would just think like he does. He considers heretics misguided to the extreme, and secretly hopes theres some kind of redemption even for them- even as he slays them all. He's the closest thing to Lawful Good a marine can get. He's also humble to a fault and overly kind even when he should show a bit more back bone and demand more respect. He likes associating with normal humans and sisters of battle even if they are enigmas to him. He gets a little gregarious on the rare occasions his biology allows him to be drunk.

What does it mean to be The Emperor's Champion? What does it mean to wield the Black Sword?
"The requirements are simple- in a mass prayer before a crusade is undertaken, our God Emperor bestows a vision upon a brother of the crusade. He is sequestered away by a Chaplain, and dons the armor and takes up the weapon of the crusader. Typically, the emperor chooses a warrior of the sword brethren, or a rising star initiate, but sometimes it falls to oddities, like myself- a bolterman. The emperors will is unquestionable however, and while I can speak for no others, i myself see it as the God Emperor calling me up to rise beyond my humble station for the good of all mankind. Sometimes I stumble, or act in error- all of this, and each experience, adds to the rich mosaic of the emperor's divine plan and a furtherance of my education. Only when my failures mean the deaths of others do I mourn. Truly this task is the most monumental of my entire life, in easily the most difficult crusade I have ever born witness to. Yet I still stand alive, and in posession of my blade- a sure sign that the emperor is great, good, and correct in all things.Not all crusades may have a black sword to wield, sadly. The Templars posses only a handful, spread across the entire empyrean. Those crusades not blessed with one must pick up and wield a Relic sword of the chapter- which is considered lesser in most ways. Thus to actually have one- to feel its weight... the honour is immeasurable. Compared to its history and past deeds I am naught but a mote in its eye- it has defeated countless foes and been dipped in the blood of arch heretics, daemons, warlords and despots. Holding one is to hold divine vengeance itself. It demands absolute adherence to martial prowess, so as not to embarrass yourself amidst fellow crusaders. It demands training excessive even for us astartes. Failure is not an option. Simply put- it removes all responsibility from the weapon regarding combats with the enemy. The Black Blade will cleave through any foe- rather, it makes the champion wholly responsible for his own success or failure- it magnifies the responsibility.As a final note, holding one demands that even in death, the blade never fall to the enemy's hand. If I am to fail, the thunderhawk that awaits my call will come down not for me, but for the blade. To lose it to the enemy is beyond unthinkable- I would either kill myself, or gladly subject myself to a chapter approved penitence crusade in the eye of terror alone for such offense.

Are you familiar with Merek Grimaldus?
“The new reclusiarch? Only that he leads an under-strength crusade here on Armageddon defending a hive world. I have heard tell that they fell under an overwhelming greenskin assault- nothing more. Helsreach, I think the name was.”

What does it mean to be a Black Templar?
“To be a templar is first to be an astartes, the emperors angels of death; to know that you will die in battle as a martyr for his realms sooner or later, that you shall know no fear and brook no xenos or heretic transgression. To be a templar is more, however. It is a complete and absolute submission in faith to your patron god, the Emperor. It is to be true and faithful to him at all times and in all places. To venerate his name as a true warrior-monk, spreading the gospel of the Imperial Cult to the far reaches of every realm. It is to be a divine instrument of the one and only true human God. It is to know an endless crusade fraught with deadly challenges and peril.
It means going your own way, on the path the emperor has laid before us, and trusting in the God Emperor to thusly use you in the manner which he deems necessary. When one is truly a templar, there is never a question as to ones purpose or method. Our convictions, forged in the armoury of faith, withstand any doubt. We are as close to pure as an astartes can aspire to be- but we still desire yet deeper cleansing. With every action we bear the weight of a history of shame for allowing our Emperor’s dream to fail, but with every bolt round and blade strike we are closer to atonement and forgiveness. For we more than any other marine knows the Emperor loves and protects us- and for that reason we shall do anything necessary to ensure is realms and his will are defended. Zealous is too small a word for us.”

A design I did early last year to fill in for the Black Templar’s lack of Librarians. The Requiliarchs operate as their stand-in record keepers, but functionally would be more like a cross between a chapter artificer and a upper HQ level standard-bearer. So, still no psyker abilities. I imagine them often being some of the eldest of the chapter, other than dreadnoughts, hence the somewhat stooped pose (for a Space Marine). In terms of preexisting lore, I guess it could make a nice design for a Master of Relics too.

All I require is a fresh wave of reinforcement to Armageddon, if that is a gift which is in your power to give. We hold, and have secured most of the major urban centers, but the Ork hordes linger- even with their commander in space. The Armageddon war is far from over!
Well met Mordatus, honourable techmarine. May the machine spirits sing hymns of your faithful duty and piety.
The young tech marine turned to face to greeted him as he bowed his head respectfully as he saw a Black Templar before him. “Deus vult. Greetings Battle-Brother.” There was a pause as he lifted his head to keep at attention with a champion of the Black Templar before him. Cautiously he asked. “How may I assist you Crusader?”

Hail citizen! I see you hail from a proud feudal world. Good; dorn smiles upon such places, so obsessed with masonry and honour. The emperor smiles too, upon his favorite subjects. Walk always in his light.
Why thank you for noticing me on my humble little world. I am honored to be smiled upon by those of the holy God Emperor and his son, Rogal Dorn. Hail Astartes! Hail the Emperor!

The vox network refuses me any more asks. More shall be outbound later, unless this astartes forgets.
As a thank you to my many followers, I shall now send a single ask to each and everyone of you. Keep the faith, for the god emperor!
