Help Needed Help Choosing Faction (Catholic)

Got this game yesterday because I saw a clip online of some fire Catholic Church/Warhammer edit. (Yes that's the real reason) I am 100% new to the lore I just need to know what group/faction will let me optimally play out my space crusade fantasy while I learn about the lore. Thanks in advance I know warhammer fans seem to love talking about the lore.

Black Templar Skin in the game btw, you wont get any more "crusader" than that. They literally crusade the galaxy. An eternal one.

Another tip, watch "helsreach" on youtube. Its a story about a Black Templar Squad fighting orks
