Yes, I am still upset about the Black Templar/s fiasco. Yes we have rumors for the impending C:SM release and what it means potentially for BT players.
First, image credit here. Now, the rumors via Faeit 212.

Crusader squads in the SM codex allow for the purchase of neophytes and initiates as per normal. Weapon options count only initiates.
BT can now take scout/neophyte squads as entire units.
The chapter tactics they get mimic one of their old vows almost to a T.
BTs should expect to see a supplement by the summer, which will let them swap their chapter tactics for alternatives in the way that they used to take vows. Sword brethren are rolled into vanguard vets.
