I have always like the Knights Templar look to them,they can field alot of troops in big squads with initiates and neophytes.Dont forget the Rhighteous zeal rule it makes them deadly.They have a really cool looking FW dread lol!! I say start them they have some nice rules and models that are easily convertable.

There's no cooler chapter than the Black Templars!(Space pups might be on par though, Space Vikings!)Warchild pretty much sums it up.

for fun games where winning/losing doesn't matter in any way to you having fun, go for the templars! they have a very iconic background and great imagery.

however, if you want to play at a slightly more competitive level, (and perhaps at the very least win as many games as you lose!) then just use your templars as regular space marines...
the templar list, while interesting and flavourful, is most definately the worst list to actually play! (barring pure grey knights who aren't ment to be a proper 'army')
the rightous zeal rules are crap and any decent player will use them to have you run off where they want you to, while the mixed armour rules can be used cleaverly to easily bring your squads below half strength if you take too many neophytes...

cheers!

Black templars are great fun to play. but as stated they can get away from you without you even knowing it. Its my experiance however, that when you throw th mathammer out the window and go in with the blind faith of a real templar, the Emperor smiles on ya!

What hurts is the options.

There isn't so much good stuff going with the curretnt BT codex in comparison to others.

This is true. My friend plays BT and besides teh Space Wolves, nothing can beat them in terms of fluff.

However, rules-wise, and equipment wise, the Blood Angels and the Dark Angels are much better armies.

My suggestion would be to use codex BA or DA (or even SM with traits) to make a decent list and paint them black templars colors...

Righteous can work both ways... I've had it used against me... but at the time I played a much more static list, against mobile lists (read: Tau, lots of SM, many Eldar lists, any list with a few fast units) it can really mess you up...

Still, like everyone said, they are a really cool army. If you don't use the BT codex, you won't get the Emperor's Champion, which is perhaps their best bonus... he is a SCARY MONSTER...

So ya, that's my opinion on the BT.

I like Chaos much better.
