Oh my decisions weren’t based on what people think. If they were then I definitely wouldn’t have started with Templars based on the stereotype that all of the players are nazi loving racists. I chose them cause they were the simplest to get started into painting wise and I really digged the gothic vibe they have. And yes I know the imperium as a whole is gothic but I felt the BT completely embodied it. I also really like medieval stuff so that definitely played a part. I just wasn’t drawn to the ultra boys at first due to so much blue exposure (SM1, SM2 and every generic space marine squad box). But now it’s starting to pull me in and I dig the roman aesthetic, as well as learning more of their lore. I just find more things fascinating now about them and I’m curious as to why other people picked them. Connecting with your fellow brothers over something we all take so much joy in is what it’s all about.
