You know you're a Black Templar when....

[Th!rdeye]

By the Emperor....


I cannot believe my thread still lives on. I should have had the Faith to believe in it. 

Though my personal crusade has taken a long hiatus (got out of the hobby for years) and continues to do so, it warms my two hearts to know you all kept it Eternal. In some way, I still maintain a eternal crusade from beyond the grave. 

Maybe one day I shall rise again....

The paddleum is a tool of many miracles, although I'm not sure resurrection is on the list...but you can be sure I'll double check.

None of us want to know how you intend to do that ;)

Euthanized Neophytes Willing test subjects, a poking stick Paddelum, and ample voltage science!

Smells technoheretical.

 

I can't decide how much I should care . . . maybe I'll ask the Mechanicus.

When you realize, 5 years in, that you're pretty much OCD about actually SHARPENING each and every sword that's not "up to par". Especially the metal ones.

I hope you're wearing gauntlets when picking up these swordsmen.

No, I accept the challenge, no matter the consequences.

[Firepower]

Wait, there are times when people don't wear gauntlets?  Sorta explains the problems I have going through airport security I suppose.

 

:teehee:

When you already have money saved for the next BT book.

Also never saw that Artwork before. Is it new?

I will wager that looking at the main guy on the cover we will get a small upgrade sprue like the other chapters.

When you have been away, tempted by the silver witches and on a random enquiry search, get directed to this thread and spend over an hour catching up, then sort all your spares out to figure how long it would take to become a Templar again.

 

My penance will be to paint a new Imperial Knight in Templar colours.

[Ciler]

When you cheer because the first Deathwatch marine that Duncan assembles is a son of Sigismund, with an aggressive and leaning forward pose, and of course wielding the bolt pistol and sword !

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

... you latest project can not be used to aid your Brothers in the painting comp, but you pledge it anyway, for solidarity and just to join in.

[Lysere]

So a bit of a confession. I am starting deathwatch, and I decided to use a pair of librarians today alongside some Templars. Grimaldus was present with the Templars and both Librarians stayed near him the whole game. The very first psychic power I cast was a buff to his squad, the Librarian periled, rolled a one, and failed the following leadership check.

 

Two things happened following that. First, I pointed at the model and looked my enemy in the eye and said, "And people wonder why I play Templars." The second is that I've started to believe it was not the warp, but Grimaldus himself who slew the Librarian in question for using a power on his own squad.

 

The second Librarian periled twice when using shooting attacks. Once he was wounded because Grimaldus probably smacked him for using that psychic nonsense (he was near him when he did it), and the second was when the Librarian wasn't attached so I assume Grimaldus got tired of his shenanigans and shot him with his pistol. This continues the tradition of any psychic models I use will always die to their own bad luck, mishaps, or perils. I can count on one hand the number of pyskers I've put on the field over the years that have died to enemy fire. My army has always been Templars even before I knew they were. They just needed to teach me why you should never trust psykers,  kittens, or psyker kittens.

 

So you know you might be a Templar when no witch ever dies to enemy hands. They always die to your own hands, regardless of whether or not they are considered 'friendly.'

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

Everyone knows that Grimaldus + Witch = Dead Witch  

 

 

Not 100% sure what would happen if Grimmy, Mephiston and Tigurius met. The new fluff says they would get along, me? I think only one man would walk out of the room. And it wouldn't be a witch. 

[Kastor Krieg]

One man would dig a grave, two would get throw in it, doused heavily in promethium and burnt.

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

Hmmm, I love the smell of Burnt witch.

 

When? In the Morning?

 

NO!!!   24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

 

I can now say that again, my GK Witch has departed for homes new.

 

So, you know you are a Black Templar when... you give the Blood Angel Space Hulk Librarian that you painted as a Grey Knight away so you are no longer tainted. 

 

Hammerhand = Grey Knight zeal, thats all it is.

Banish Demon = Grey Knight zeal, told you what that is. 

Sanctuary = Grey Knight luck that is.

 

Oh okay, even the Battle Brothers are Witches. 

[Kastor Krieg]

+ ABSOLUTE AND TOTAL SPOILER OF "PRAETORIAN OF DORN" FOLLOWS!!! +

When your Templar soul shudders with you to see such a display from your Legion's Primarch.

To quote from the spoiler thread:

the simplest way to describe it is the Dorn in true Fists style intentionally lets Alpharius stab him in the shoulder, and then traps his spear with one hand, whilst chainsawing his forearms off with the other, and then proceeds to carve a large canyon through his thorax and abdomen in a single strike after that, finally finishing off the dumbstruck Alpharius by chainsawing his head in half....
[...]
Letting Alpharius stab him in the shoulder wasn't the plan - Alpharius feinted in order to look vulnerable, and would have killed Dorn in a single 'perfect' thrust if it wasn't for his Huscarl's intervention - the implication is that he disrupted the 'perfect' blow enabling Dorn to take the thrust in his shoulder.

[...]

It actually was, and the most badass part, Dorn didn't say a thing, just grim-faced butcher the whole time....

 

+ BRUTAL ZEAL! +

This thread is eternal brother, just like our Crusade ;)

[Marshal_von_Speer]

...when you drop your Skyhammer directly in your opponents face and your 5 man dev combat squad then tanks a whole round of shooting with only 2 losses before being charged by a 10 man dire avenger squad.  The dire avengers fail to kill a single Initiate because the Emperor protects and in return lose 3 guys themselves. They  in consequence lose combat and get ripped to shreds by the Templar's sweeping advance.

When your zeal burns so hotly, the fires of Khorne's realm feel cold in comparison.

 

Black Templars: "Khorne is a pansy! You call this 'hellfire'? This realm is so frosty, a mortuary can use it as a cold chamber! Tell your brainless master to ask Tzeentch to correct his vocabulary, foul heretic!"

[Sete]

When in the morning of your wedding day you read trought the Eternal Crusader, knowing the Lord of Mankind will bless one of his chosen. ;) (and to calm myself aswell ahahahha)

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

When doubt clouds your mind, look to your Brothers, they will steel your soul.

 

When all around you is Chaos, let your Faith in the HIM renew you.

 

If all else fails, remember, the Paddleum is never far away.
