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

[SydonianDragoon404]

Don't have to make Sigismund look like Guilliman, this is making Guilliman look more like Sigismund! You run the Sigismund model, use Guillimans rules, a win win. Or is it heresy?

When it only took 5 posts from Black Templars before we got the tactics down to:

 

Shoot a bit, then Chop.

Chop the shooty ones. Chop the choppy ones. Chop the deamons, the xenos, the witches, the knights, the titans... Chop everything!!! Templar Waaaggghhhhh for the Emperor!!!

 

Edit: burn whatever's left.

 

Initiate to his Neophyte on bolter tactics... This is your bolter, it goes brrrttt and stuff explodes. There's a switch on the side here, it makes it not brrrttt as much as it should. Do not touch it. Your bolter has one purpose, it's to gauge how long it should take you to get close enough to the enemy and smash them in the head with it. Run as fast as you can where you're told to run and hold the trigger while pointing your bolter at the enemy, when it stops going brrrttt you better be smashing heads in with it.

 

Okay I'm done now

...when Bolters are for Land Raiders, not infantry.

[Nyustukyi]

...when others call your maces "bolters".

...when others call your maces "bolters".

Did you ask the Techmarine to provide power mauls with integral bolters, so the weapon will be useful in both Shooting AND Close Combat?

[Nyustukyi]

No I generally skip shooting practice due to my need to sharpen my sword. It takes a while.....I am very.....VERY....thorough.

... when someone asks about librarian conclaves and Templars on this board and you think "what an unusual attempt at suicide".

 

I'm never going to live down that heresy, might have to anoint myself in the blood of 40,000 witches.

Don't do that! The foul witches' tainted blood may be mutagens, potentially perverting the perfect body you received via Dorn's genetic legacy!

 

Just incinerate the witches' mutated remains with your flamer or meltagun. You DO have flame or melta weapons, right?

Affirmative brother, what son of Dorn and Crusader of Sigismund's legacy does not have melta and weapons of the holy flame. Emperor above! I have one on our revered armouries Land Raider Crusader 'Thunder of an Angry God' and then many Initiates of our Crusade drop from the skies with them. Ready to smite our enemy's armour!

When you need to make a 500 point list, and make a Black Tide:

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

Ha, I love it, I watched a 500 point game the other day.

 

Chaos Lord () in Terminator Armour with Meltagun.

5 man Marine Squad.

5 man Beserker Squad.

Deamon engine with 2 Hades Autocannons, the wierd walky one.

 

Against a Mech and Skitari army.

 

Priest.

10 man Skit squad.

Onegar.

 

The Chaos scum got creamed. Its scary how many shots that Skitari squad can put out. But back to my point... I think your 20 plus Black Templars could take em.

[Kastor Krieg]

When you learn that in the 8ed charging units strike first.

"[...] charging units get to strike first"

 

+ OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY +

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

Just read these "proposed 8th" rules and almost cheared to hear about the charge bonus, the movement changes etc.

 

Our "Castellans of the Imperium" Black Tide stopped being a tide and became "The Black Tsunami."

 

Please let us Move - Run - Charge - Strike first. We are the most ZEALOUS warriors the Imperium has, I would even take a BS drop to gain a bigger edge in Combat. 

 

It could be a "Themed Army" Bonus, Black Templar Crusader Squads subtract 1 from their BS but may declare a charge even after carrying out a Run move.

Did you just say we could run AND charge?! I just let out a squeak of excitement! That makes the Crusader SR (if it still exists) so much better!

He didn't say we could, just hoping we get something like that. All we really know are a few core rule changes like charging first and save modifiers.

NO. NO. NO, I DID NOT.

 

I wish we could, but as Lysere said, we only have a few "this is what we are thinking" rules changes. Although it was GW that said it.

[Acebaur]

If you want to discuss the possibility of rules changes for 8th let's start a new thread for it.

 

Thanks guys

Yes let's not distract from the core reason of this thread!

YKYABTW.....

 

You get get reprimanded by the Chaplains gently reminded to behave, when you ZEALOUSLY chase any kind of possibility that we may get something nice, in the wrong thread.

There, fixed it for you

[lordhellblade]

You know your a Black Templar when your first crush is SAINT CELESTINE!

 

and you  get really pissed because Gulliman broke a Black Sword embedded in Skarbrand while fighting him.

 

When the next Primarch you  want to return is Rogal Dorn.

 

This thread makes my  day.

That's it, I think we have enough ZEAL, "The Castellans of the Imperium" is enough for me to call it.

 

We were the Black Tide, I think with the never ending (depending on dice roll) Troops, we have the 'Black Tsunami'.

 

Both Castellan Cynebald and I have used the term in the last few posts, thats's a call and a second.

 

Official?

We just need Honda to verify your ZEALOUS proposal brother but I'm down for the black tsunami to wash away the heresy!
