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

[SunshineDragon]

The EC has never had nor been able to have WS7, dunno how you swung that. If I was in my hometown I could even check the 3rd ed rule book.

 

You know your a Templar when you keep the 3rd Ed rule book purely for the cover art.

[Marshal_Roujakis]

- When even though everyone including other Templar players called him "garbage", "tosser", "trash", "useless", "worthless", "lackluster" and "not-worth-the-points"... you still field the Emperor's Champion simply because he is the most iconic, reverred and signature mark that you are not using some cheap, clunky and overused Chapter like Ultramarines or Salamanders, but your using Black Templars, and your damn proud when he slays something or someone he shouldn't possibly beat. (by your opponents standards atleast...)

 

- When everytime you get into a challenge with the Emperor's Champion you roleplay his voice and declare with the gusto and bravado of such a warrior your intent to level your enemies head from his shoulders.

 

- When you wish your Emperor's Champion's capabilities completely match the title that he bears...

 

- When you hate Cruddace with a fiery zeal for not making the Templars the vision they should've been

 

- When you know Games Workshop is no longer worthy of your income or even your modicum of respect simply because they have neglected your most favoured army for more than 10 years...

 

finally: You know you're a Templar...

 

 

when you "know" you're a Templar

I stand corrected. E.C. was WS 6 (not that 6 vs 7 really changes much in gameplay most of the time).

You know you're a Templar when you can trace your family history back to an ancestor who actually took part in the Crusades of 145-149M2. Edited October 1, 2013 by ChaosRising

...You notice that your 1k5 50+ models army will require more than 50% of the deployment area, when playing with an ally. <= Guilty

Awhile back I posted about my Templar car (damaged transmission, would only go forward, never backward.)

 

Well that car died and I donated what was left of it to charity.

 

A week ago I saw the car once again, still on the road. They had re-built the interior and replaced it with a black one. But all of the external damage was right where it always was.

 

 

So you might be a Templar if... your vehicle dies and becomes a dreadnought. "Even in death I serve!"

You know your a black templar when you have 2 black templar tattoos. Straight from our old dex

I am glad to know there are others that do this! Many times have I shouted in a gamestore "I CHALLENGE YOUR HERETIC WITCH TO SINGLE COMBAT! WHAT SAY YOU!?"

@Recon0321: Jesus, that's awesome

@bolvar

 

Thanks brother

[Link2edition]

You know you are a Black Templar when...

 

Every model in your army looks like an independent character,

 

and

 

You field no "Vanguard" Squads or "Sternguard" Squads, but plenty of Sword Brethren!

[Roma]

You know you are no longer a Black Templar when you have been away from the boys in black for so long that you are surprised to see this thread still alive in you content profile.

[Marshal_Roujakis]

• When you get at least 1 Turn in the game where no model in your army could shoot a gun in the shooting phase because all the models in the enemy army are locked in close combat.

When regardless of who, what, where and why a Psychic tries to buff your Squad of Templars you still take a DTW test against it. And if it passes you shoot the ally Psyker by the end of the game.

When you bring a Chainsword to a magic show

When someone gives you a Space Marine model and you automatically have plans to make it a Templar

When you attempt to buy GW by taking their shares and stocks to get 'coerce' them to make a worthy BT Codex.

[bolvar]

-When you are your friend's chaplain, listening and giving advice

[Zyth23]

You know you're a templar when...

 

...You read the Cypher Dataslate and discover it's the prisonner who made the Ophidium Gulf disapearring. And then see you can pick Cypher in your Black Templars Detachment to fight against Dark Angels Army. *Shiny Eyes to make Dark Angels Rage*

Is this the revenge I have been waiting for. It was always veeeery obvious it was Cypher, but how dare those damn Dark Angels DESTROY A BLACK TEMPLAR VESSEL AND ITS CREW to preserve their dirty little secret. IMO: GW please release canon saying Cypher is the loyalist, and the DA are just traitors trying to kill him.

[Kastor Krieg]

When you've known the above all along, ever since the knowledge of the Ophidium Gulf Incident came to you in a holy Emperor-granted vision, when you've first taken up the Black and the Faith and became an inspiration for the whole Crusade.

Every time you see a "true psychic" sign on the roadside, you wish you had a flamer handy.

 

Them and BINGO parlors.

Any particular reason why bingo, may I ask?

[Kastor Krieg]

Because HERESY, of course.

[Zyth23]

You Know You're a Black Templar When...

 

...Other player: "So you play Space Marines?"

...You: "Space Marines ? ! !"

...You: "THIS IS BLACK TEMPLARS ! ! ! ! ! !"

 

...You read the new Codex and...

HERESY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

*Burning the Pile of Paper*

 

...You read the new Heretical Book you're now part of and...

....You see all the units you've lost...

.....You see you kept your Crusader Squad...

......You see all the new units you can now take...

.......You don't understand why you don't have your book anymore...

........You think about you'll have a Supplement one day...

.........You imagine possibilites like...

..........Crusader Bike Squadron. (Including 1 Neophyt Bike for each Initiate Bike)

..........Gun Brethren. (Sternguard Templar variant, no Special-Ammunitions but includings Neophyts ?)

..........Sword Brethren. (Give them back please T.T)

..........Emperor's Champion. (No HQ Slot burning back please)

...........Vows.

............Rage vow. (Let us return Close Combat please)

............Anti-Psyker-Power vow. (Let me kill Grey Knight Again)

..........Crusader Command Squad. (Command squad that may include 1 Neophyt for each Initiate in the Squad, no veterans profile)

..........You read other Chapters Supplement...

...........You cry when you discover 40 pages of Fluff...1 Warlord Trait Table...2-3 Special Rules / Chapter Tactic Rules Non-Stacking Variants...1 page of Relics...

Brother, you are unfamiliar with the heretical cult of BINGO?

 

These are not just the idle tales and gossip of old women. Have you not witnessed the unholy passion evoked in the name of BINGO? The swaying and waving of arms, futile attempts to win favor with the cult Magus, he who continuously calls out the blasphemous numerology of Tzeench, the Lord of Chance? Have you not experienced the horrific transformation of what would normally be considered a loyal citizen, into a raving beast released to the stage to claim its unholy reward? <revulsion>

 

Burn. Them. All!

You know you're a Black Templar when you die with what's left of your dignity and move on rather than  live this shallow half-existence given to us by Ward.
