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

Recommended Posts

- If you also play a xenos army(Traitor!) you don't put them in the same case as you know you won't have any xenos models left when you open them back up at the store.

 

And...

- You refuse to play as a xenos army because they are... well.. xenos

 

 

 

I was only getting to know the enemy better by playing orks to better understand and destroy them I swear. They also favour CC.

 

 

You know you're a Black Templar when

 

You travel to Malta to immerse yourself in the Templar history (it was so cool) :biggrin:

When visiting the spot in Paris where the last grand master was burned burned upon a scaffold sends a shiver down your spine and a tear to your eye. Even as I write this...

When you look at the Malbork Castle [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbork_Castle ], the world's largest brick castle of it's time (1406), feel the ambience in it's interiors, mourn the still ruined Cathedral and think what a neat battle barge the whole thing would cut.

You fight on no matter the odds or losses. Warning! obscenities not :censored: ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjEcj8KpuJw

good two handed strike poses.

 

You know you are a BT player when you react like this to different colours being used for BT IC/ EC / and models in general.

 

HERETICS!!!

 

PURGE THE UNCLEAN!!!

 

*Snatches the Black Sword from his rightly Black and White Champion and lays about with it two handed O.o*

BTW Roesor, +1 lol

you see red when you see red painted "black" templars. or a ultrablue one on ebay... just why would you do that?

 

 

 

You know you're a Templar when:

 

You go paintballing and repeatedly find yourself in the forward position. (guilty as of yesterday)

 

You are running out of paintballs, down to 7 shots, so you decide to storm the opponents bunker in a suicidal attempt at glory. (guilty as of yesterday)

 

You have no problem questioning the loyalty of Grey Knights to the emperor.

You actually run out of paintballs THEN storm the enemy bunker.

 

After doing so 2 players surrender to your display of righteous fury, and you win the game.

 

Best paintball match ever, and I spent most of the game with no ammo. =)

 

When you run out of paintballs with seven opponents in well fortified positions with no team mates around. Take off your barrel and charge the enemy. Dodging all bullets and start tagging the enemy with your barrel and yelling "fall before the black sword!" Only then realizing your barrel is actually spray paint black.

 

Guilty.

 

Now they call me EC as a nickname around there because the guy throwing it was a 40k player....filthy greenskins.....and upon seeing this he yelled out" oh %#$& its the emperors champion" which only we and two others got.

you single handedly hold left flank with no ammo. Then charge up lef tflank in another mission and wipe out the enemy huddled behind cover.

 

when you read all 17 pages IN ONE SITTING

when you sign up to this site based purley on this thread

when you post here knowing full well it will annoy a few people

when you have researched the knights templar every night for a week to help with building your army.

you can recite

A Templar Knight is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for his soul is protected by the armour of faith, just as his body is protected by the armour of steel. He is thus doubly armed, and need fear neither demons nor men."

— Bernard de Clairvaux, c. 1135, De Laude Novae Militae—In Praise of the New Knighthood

from memory :biggrin:

when you pay £8.20 just for a set of forgeworld storm shields

83 is a bit much for one sitting... I'll have to learn that one off by heart.

when you drift out of Wargames for ten years and realised you have missed the whole era of BTs having their own codex. Hear a load of negativity around BTs n new C:SM but still take out your old models and finally get the crusader you wanted . And want to buy the codex on ebay anyway.

 

you read this thread in one tab and write a reply in another

 

Your stalking Graham McNiell both to get him to sign your codex and to kneel in worship of his glory for writing said codex

 

your twenty three items into this list and realize cannot seem to stop.

 

 

All true, a decade of playing Templars results in a lot of stuff

Post script joking about the stalking but not about wanting my codex signed

Why didn't I thiink of that? two tabs brilliant.

 

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

 

This thread is still going on, despite all other threads dying months ago. :tongue:

Lol years ago now.:Troops:

 

you know it's only January, and when someone asks you if this thread can run another year, you say "Piece of cake". :cool:

Piece of ZEAL cake. LOL you saw the future... hmmm hints of witchery.

 

...you realize that this thread, from start to finish, is REQUIRED reading.

Yes and in one sitting... all 83 pages.

:blink.:

You know when you're a Black Templar when you attempt a meaningful response to @Firepower and your fat fingers screw up the post due to the power armor gloves cause the post to go sideways and be lost forever in the bitstream of the Chaos.

 

I forgot what I was going to say, and all I can do now is make ready for war.

With regards to the cake, it's gonna be a basic sponge with butter cream icing, white fondant with a red templar cross also in fondant with an imperial fist gauntlet on the front,.does that sound about alright?

 

No chains? No swords?  If something's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!  :D

This one even has a Templar cross on the inside. Its the Caliber 2755QP.
 
 

 

I NEEEEEED one of these. And I think Brother Vacheron Constantin will have to join my Crusade.

 

 

It's cool to looking at their website search for local store boutique. Maltese  Templar crosses all around the world and in Malta of course.

I rather have a fine red wine.

... when this is what you drink from your chalice:

in celebration of 'THE HUNT ' of xenos and witches. Notice cross on bottle.

When your sergeant makes one attack, misses, and kills roughly 13 models.

 

When you have one unit declare two assaults over four turns... and they kill 5 units.

 

You kill every unit in assault with a sweeping advance, and don't roll a charge roll below a 9.

 

When you kill two riptides in close combat, with mostly AP 3 weapons.

 

When an ethereal locks himself in his devilfish, and your marines tear it apart by hand to kill him.

 

You draw psychological warfare (cause the enemy to fail morale, pinning, or fear checks) and cause three morale checks in a single turn, mostly with assaults.

 

When you are the first player in your local group that has managed to clear the Tau off of their Skyshield landing pad... and you did it with almost nothing but assaults.

 

(These are all entirely true, and happened in the exact same game)

Haha, thanks! This is the prototype, once I can perfect a decent batter I will make a 3 tires one, one blue layer for crimson fists one yellow for imperial fists and top layer better version off the above cake, tell you what though, you thought moulding green stuff was tough you should try handling fondant!

I love that templar cake brother, what flavor is it?

 

When you see sigisund and your first reaction is he needs a helmets and needs to be painted black.

 

When you get the boot on your foot for fracturing it and you have decided to add the templar cross to it.
