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

[BitsHammer]

At least the slightly lesser chapters are there to keep us company.

 

Now if we could only fix that geneseed mutatioj that took away their zeal.

 

It's probably linked to the gene that let's them have psykers.

Atleast our artworks are better than theirs:

 

Rare and Cool Templar Art

Quantity has a quality of its own when it comes to slain enemies of the Emperor, after all.

Well said. Only his own death will stop a Black Templar from killing an enemy of the Imperium.

When you see TZH as the last three letters on a license plate, you start looking for a chainsword.

I think a Black Templar's reaction is to shout, "RAMMING SPEED!" as he uses this. It doesn't matter if he's driving or if he's on foot, that vehicle will be stopped, and the false gods of Chaos will spread their corruption no further.

I'm out of practice being away from the game for 12 years. I will not make the mistake again.

[The Spanish Inquisitor]

When you see vehicles can charge enemies in 8th, you start adding chainswords on your land raider crusaders. 

[BitsHammer]

You mispelled "Black Swords". ;)

 

I now await the day a LRC gets a vision from the Emperor and goes full Emperor,s Champion on something.

You know you're a Black Templar fan when all the insurance companies of the county have a special clause about you preventing people* to get reimbursed. This clause is named "The Emperor's Will."

 

*Well, their families anyway, since these filthy heretics tend not to survive contact with you.

...when organizing your ebooks and discovering you have multiple copies of some things you prioritize the ones with Black Templar themed covers.

Somewhere, there is a Black Templars Techmarine painting black the Reaper chainsword he salvaged from the wreckage of an Imperial Knight, and then mounted in place of a Land Raider Crusader's side access point (a Thunderstrike gauntlet replaces the other side access point), allowing these noble weapons to continue serving the Emperor and the Omnissiah.

[BitsHammer]

If the Crimson Fists can have a Land Raider kill Orks until it literally can't anymore, then the Black Templars can DEFINITELY have one that declares challenges against the enemy's leaders before it crushes them before the might of the Emperor's will.

[Marshal Mattias]

When you see the new box set and are outraged at the lack of chainswords on the wannabe assault marines...

 

And then you look at the armour: "If those are psychic hoods, then so help me... it's crusadin' time!"

 

When the best thing about the new box set is there are a whole bunch more bad guys to purge.

 

When you remain zealously faithful that somewhere, a knight of Dorn is already turning those numarines into proper truescale crusaders, without any ridiculous ski boots or bubble heads.

[Eberious]

..you see xenos in these abominations.. its all in the face. Can you see it!!!

 

 

 

and get the urge to purge with extreme prejudice.

[Brother Christopher]

... when you're open-minded and ready to happily accept any change GW introduces to the setting.

[Eberious]

Not sure if there is reading between the lines here, but I am happy to accept change coming to 8th and the models do look nice(might start another sm army). Twas just the first thing I saw when looking as its face, thought, that reminds of something...oh yes.  HERESY!! lol

[Marshal Mattias]

Open-mindedness is the opposite of Black Templar :lol:

But seriously, I'm enjoying the rules, plot advancement, Guilli's new surge of Zeal, all of it... except the weird looking gundam marines :P
I'm not offended by the rescale, the likely slow replacement of short marines or how they have been introduced - but those particular designs are really disappointing. Given how great the Deathwatcg marines were, I don't get why they have taken such a tacky GI Joe look for some of the new Primaris. Rescaling was already demonstrably successful without such a radical step.

(This is totally the wrong thread for this debate, my bad).

You know you're a Black Templar when regardless of change, you will adapt and continue to wreck face the same way you have for 10,000 years.

Technically... since they are a brand new army per se the fluff...

 

Then the NuMarines aren't a true-scale version of a Primaris Space Marine if a Space Marine's Truescale is a Primaris Space Marine... therefore a Primaris would be the size of a Truescale Terminator, which makes Truescale Space Marines just the size of a non-truescaled Terminator... so...

 

If a Templar, turns a Primaris into a proper knight, then that would just be a Space Marine in "true scale" and if he puts extensions on the Primaris Space Marine, then that would be the true scale of a Primaris Space Marine... therefore... to avoid headache, squat Marines are still proper GW-scaled Space Marines... because if you use Primaris as the actual scale for Space Marines, then all models are no longer in scale with the true scale, leaving the true scale models the only true scale in a line of models that uses a different scale...

 

And in this context:

YKYABT when, Scale doesn't matter, irrelevant to size of the Astartes, or the size of the enemy's army, the scale of things is unimportant to a Templar... what matter is that his duty be done and his Crusade be Eternal...

[BitsHammer]

..when your first, last and only question about the new edition has to do with how it'll change how you crusade.

[Honda]

...you see the Primaris marines and your first thought is, "Wow, now I can make bigger Chaplains!"

[SWORD BROTHER RYAN]

When you see the Primarus Marines and wonder where their chainswords are?

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

Where the chain swords at and why do they need shock absorbers on their feet?

 

YKYABTW.. you don't need no stinkin shock absorbers. Our knees and ankles are hardened by the zealous landings of a thousand Crusades.
