The Black Templars and their iconography are of a mixture of the Knights Templar, Teutonic Knights and the Knights Hospitaller. Although they don't need swords that much. They're righteously angry for the Emperor, they're usually close combat focused and their idea of a charge is a giant zerg rush of a hundred angry Crusaders who won't hesitate to skullfuck the nearest alien/mutant/heretic with their powersword just because they look funny. They make a hobby of dressing up as the Knights Hospitaller and trolling the Inquisition with their larger-than-Codex-approved numbers. These Space Marines are as manly as the Manly Marines and as angry as the Angry Marines. The Black Templars, also known as Absolute Lunatics(by Rogal Dorn), are a Second Founding Space Marine Chapter of the Imperial Fists. 'WHERE IS YOUR GOD?
