Has no one heard of the Celestial Lions before?

Anyone who says that black space marines are new and woke is sad and dumb. Look up the Celestial Lions chapter please. Easily one of the most interesting chapters out there and really cool color pattern for their armor.

The third war and currently they are getting help from other chapters because some insane inquisitor trying to wipe them out for reporting him as a problem. Their chapter master was recently killed by an assassin in front of a the Emperor's Spears chapter. It's insane how much power this inquisitor has. it got to the point that other chapters are shielding them including Black Templars. I can't wait to see what Guilliman thinks of this when he hears this.

Might've seen a lore video on them kinda recently (forgot if it was Majorkill or Mr. Bones 40k), but they seem dope.

But the activists within these forums already stated that in their mind if a black or gay people present in a video game/movie, it is woke. So I'm not sure who to believe. You or the activists.
Besides, nobody would a had a problem if they would have been represented normally. The issue is that the west seems to overrepresents a certain minority, for some weird political messaging reasons.

Hopefully this doesn't end in war with Black Templars VS Inquisition while Guiliman is across the rift , Maybe the Lion will step in . What do you guys think in case of war Would the Astartes chapters that are not Under the thumb of the inquisition (Red Hunters) help the inquisition against the Nearly Legion sized Black Templars?

Not the same, because Salamanders have marines of any ethnicity coming from their planet - whatever they are, their skin turns black as charcoal and eyes turn red.

But yeah, Celestial Lions are a thing - just as any other space marine that is not white. Seriously, density of some people (not you!, just mumbling).

I don’t like how they look. They look like AoS Stormcast Eternals, and I hate Stormcast Eternals

The Inquisition was also at the verge of a fullscale war with the Space Wolves after the 1st War of Armageddon. The Red Hunters were called upon in full strenght and the remains of the Grey Knights strikeforce were also present.

Although, the Grey Knights were considering briefly killing Inquisitor Kysnaros for their own reasons mainly for massivly overstepping his mandate in general.

Black space marines are nothing new have never been a problem before (again look up the Celestial Lions). I just hope no one has an issue with the White Scars being Mongolian based if they are in the game.

I would put my bet on a more Inquisition civil war happening. Whoever this Inquisitor might be, they are killing loyal space marines while having an insane amount of power. Guilliman might ask the head Inquisitor to look into it since they are allies now. I wouldn't put it past the Templar's or Spears straight up ignoring the inquisition till this figured out.
