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

[Deus Imperator Vult]

When you start noticing templar crosses in other media and find yourself wondering if the actor, producer or set designer was devout. Most recently 5th Element.

 

When you read about how the 13th century Templars were stabbed in the back by a greedy french king and have to fight the urge to zealously find and desecrate his grave in the name of Sigismund.

[Sete]

When you find out they were spared in Portugal and changed name to Knight's of Cristh ;)

[Knight of the Raven]

The templars were a state within the state; it's no surprise they were wiped out with the help of Philippe the Fair's pet pope. The money gained and saved was just a bonus. And Sigismund would actually condone the extermination of 'knights' more interested in counting gold coins than in fighting heathens. Black Templars becoming bankers would make him turn in his grave even more than them adopting the Imperial Creed.

 

But Vesper knows more than I do on the matter.

You know you're a Black Templar when you want the Imperium to pull a Philippe the Fair on the Space Wolves as opposed to your own chapter.

 

EDIT: Deus Imperator Vult, you'll be pleased to know that upon burning on the stake, the leader of the Templars cursed the French king and the pope to die within a year and they actually did die within a year.

When you go to your local GW to buy some bikers and devastators and walk out with a land raider crusader instead

[Link2edition]

...when you run a Deathwatch campaign and half the party are Templar...

 

Because the GM talks about them so much...

[Lysere]

When you set your army on the table and the first thing the opponent notices is the Land Raiders you brought.

 

When everyone else comments on how you have three land raiders, and it's only the start of the armored fist.

[walpurgisnacht]

When your opponent who plays undead eldar gets twitchy over the rending in challenges.

 

When you want to branch out to other marine armies, but find their lack of black disturbing.

 

When you know there is only one place for zenos and heretics to be, under your boot.

You missed the second place.

Under our tank tracks.

You know you are an OLD Black Templar when you have a post on the first page of this 63 page long thread Crusade. :lol:

[librisrouge]

When you know that there is no such things as an old Templar, for the Crusade is Eternal. It has no beginning, and no end, for the righteous have always struck out at the darkness.

[Lysere]

You know you are an OLD Black Templar when you have a post on the first page of this 63 page long thread Crusade.

 

You know you're a Templar when you've read all 63 pages to bring honor to those who have crusaded before you, and then promptly launch another Crusade.

Don't brag, that's not fair.

[Kastor Krieg]

When you see this and your eyes shine with + PURE ZEAL + because you realize that finally someone made a Crozius Arcanum for you, from a Holy Orb of Antioch and it makes you want to go a-crusadin', like yesterday.

Where did you find that Kastor? Reverse image search yields nothing! My zeal will not be denied! 

[Kastor Krieg]

It has rolled across my FB wall. It was unfortunately without contex, I only rehosted it to Imgur.

[Kastor Krieg]

Apparently this is a bottle of Vivienne Westwood perfume.

<true story>

[Lysere]

When a you see a weight loss magazine in passing and see, "Burn more..." and mentally add "Witches" to the end of the sentence. Didn't even realize I'd done that until later on.

[SCOTT_FRANCIS]

When you see this and NEED to buy one.

When you're flipping through the channel list on tv and notice a movie called "Ironclad", immediately think Dreadnought and arrow to it, see that its about 13th century templars defending a castle...

 

It was pretty good.

[walpurgisnacht]

I felt it was not bad. Kinda dumb in parts, almost like a samurai movie with the characters. Why the obligatory love interest? Fight scenes, of course, were where it's at.

 

Back to topic:

...you might be a Black Templar if You Know No Fear, but hearing the Paddleium being activated gives you the willies. (:

When you just about wet yourself when you see pics of the 30k sword brethern.

When you know how all of the Psy...heretic rules work so that they don't get any more advantages than their witch kind already get. Know your foe, know how to bring their ruination.

 

IRL: The fool thought Spell Familiar let him reroll just the failed dice instead of all of them. Gee, suddenly the little heretic could make any summoning rolls. ;p
