So I believe this chapter has been brought up again between 8th and 10th edition? Their lore is still very minor, pretty much about them having identity crisis and launching a crusade to figure out who their real daddy is. Surprisingly they’re also lucky enough to get an official animation appearance (Tithes, eps 2), even though once again, their role is pretty sad and tragic.

Honestly this is one of the chapters that got me into Primaris design, the White Templars in the animation just looked freaking awesome. They also got their own subreddit and a small popularity growth after SM2 released their chapter badge.

There’s not a lot of info about them other than their notable involvement during Achillus Crusade and both Punisher Wars, and the fact that they’re a condescending bunch. And I love arrogant assholes.

I made this post mainly also because this chapter has been slandered by some individuals with made up infos. One of them is a certain YouTube video calling them “the shittiest space marine chapter”, framing them as… pretty much another Marines Malevolent. Claiming that they love doing exterminatus to innocent civilians and snitching their own ally like Leandros from SM1.

None of those are true. In fact they’re famous for being very good at their job, despite their annoying attitude.

There are some interesting things about this chapter, they have the same color scheme and almost identical logo as the Eagle Warriors chapter (Ultramarines 2nd Founding successor) on top of that, they’re also founded during M31 like other 2nd founding chapters.

The most lore I can find about them are from their involvement in third war for Armageddon. Their Dreadnought by the name of brother Damos led a pretty insane dreadnoughts vs killa kans battle and won. It’s also stated that before Damos turned into a Dreadnought, he was the commander of Angels Porphyr 9th company that was popular for being “a model of the devastator doctrine”. He was also leading a devastator squad during third war for Armageddon.

Their twin the Eagle Warriors have more lore and was known as being a part of Ultramarines legion void combat specialist during pre heresy era. But I prefer Angels Porphyr for their unique name and cooler chapter badge (Eagle Warriors have only the wing, without the skull).
