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

[Knight of the Raven]

Shoot the dice found wanting as a warning to the others to not falter in their duty to the Emperor.

 

Unless they're Catachan dice. Then outmanly them by beating the pulp out of them.

[SWORD BROTHER RYAN]

YKYABTW...

 

Your coworkers permanently screw a Black Maltese Cross to your work station,

 

You have to explain to HR that it is NOT a racist statement and explain the history of the cross,

 

When said HR allow you to keep the cross bolted to your table because they don't want to become the target of your ZEAL!

[Knight of the Raven]

I'm deeply disappointed in your coworkers not putting a heretic between the cross and the work station.

 

Screwing someone to a flat surface instead of nailing them*. Gotta try that sometimes. It's probably even more painful, and thus more deserved as far as heretics are concerned.

 

You know you're a Black Templar when you can always find a heretic to punish properly. And you're lucid enough that even if this means more time spent on one heretic and therefore less on other heretics, some anvils need to be dropped.

 

*oh god English why u tarnish torture justice vocabulary with bumping uglies? D:

When you make a purity seal.

 

And it STAYS PURE!!

If it's a Flamer, then it's fine... someone has to bring the witch purge equipment ;)

When you use the purity seal itself to kill an enemy of the Imperium. (The seal was cast from adamantium, to ensure it would remain pure in the face of all the galaxy's evils.) Edited May 8, 2017 by Bjorn Firewalker

[The Spanish Inquisitor]

When you wet your purity seals with the blood of your foes and it remains pure. 

 

When you never give up a game as long there is still a crusader standing. 

 

When you think subtlety should have nothing to do with destroying your foes.

What about a Melta? It still burns, but it get deeper, right through the wretched xeno, mutant, heretic and which cadavers?

 

Also, although it has been said before numerous times, you know you're a Black Templar when your threads are as Eternal as your Crusade.

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

Does your "Purity Seal" glow red with ZEAL when cleansed by the holy flamer?

 

A real BT PS would.

I've play Sisters like that. Nothing like winning with 3 models on the table versus an army that has all but three models left in its army.

 

I was playing against a Decurion of Necrons with Battle Forged Sisters. Nothing like using Objective Secured to win the war while losing the battle. :P

 

So yeah, my Templars will follow suit and keep going until there is nothing left. :P

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well said, Fulkes.

[Kastor Krieg]

When a mod calls an 8th edition news thread for the Templars after you post on 2nd page.

[Castellan Cynebald]

When you get annoyed at customers at the call centre interrupting your Black Templar board time...

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

PURGE THEM!!!!!!!!!

[Eberious]

When you get annoyed at customers at the call centre interrupting your Black Templar board time...

 

Yes, I can relate 110% there Castellan Cynebald. Been trying to reply to a PM in my inbox for the last hour and a half for something that should only have taken 5 minutes. 

[BitsHammer]

When you squee in public over the Land Raider Crusader buff:

 

Q: Wow! Now a Land Raider Crusader can do 18 shoots
A: We count 24 on the twin-linked boltguns at half range...

[Kastor Krieg]

When this is your reaction to the above:

When yet again your Crusader zeal brings everyone data on the enemy before everyone else :v

...all of your armies melee weapons are actually sharp enough to cut through your opponents models

[Knight of the Raven]

...all of your armies melee weapons are actually sharp enough to cut through your opponents models

And this is why you started wearing steel gauntlets. It also means you haven't cut yourself when cooking in years.

Hardest part was learning to touch type with gauntlets on....

 

....followed by getting a keyboard strong enough to handle metal fingertips mashing it with ZEAL.

[KhorneHunter57x]

When you see this guy for sale at your LGS and you pick him up without hesitation or remorse.

[Kastor Krieg]

What's the plastic part there with him? I got mine 2nd hand and never got that.

[Brother Christopher]

It's the backpack. The kit used to come with the body, sword and pistol holster metal and a plastic backpack.

 

KhorneHunter57x, congrats on the find. It's cool to get an old model in mint condition. I once got my hands on our High Marshal in a similar fashion.
