Quick match put me in a game with these two honored brothers. I had a good time with you both!

Double knee crosses though 👎👎👎

In slavic criminal culture stars on both knees meant refusal to bend the knee before any authority.
Maybe he's thief with code, who knows?

You only put it on the right one iirc and the left is blank or squad mark

u/AhabRasputin Deathwatch 7h ago

If youre gonna use a knee cross at all they get 1. The other knee gets a squad number or battle honorific. Double knee crosses in this game are a badge of someone who doesnt know much about the chapter and didnt bother to do any research. Why saber chose to give the BT preset double knee crosses will always baffle me.

u/kromgar2 Flesh Tearers 7h ago

Usually the squad number on the right knee, and the crusade insignia on the left leg (but we don't have those in-game).

u/TheEternalCrusader2 Emperor's Children 7h ago

Or as GW shows you don’t have any on the knees

I SWEAR the game matches your clothes. I have, while dressed as a salamander, been matched with multiple salamanders, and to further aid my point. I have while dressed as a Deathwatch Salamander, been matched with a Deathwatch Salamander.

u/GarboseGooseberry 4h ago

That would explain why I always get matched with Deathwatch guys lol. Tho the most likely explanation is that the Deathwatch look fucking rocks.

u/SuperiorYammyBoi Salamanders 4h ago

Deathwatch are soooo cool. I do sometimes like to run my all green guys though. The pop of color on the paldron is nice on a deathwatch.

But I run a Techmarine, Deathwatch, Salamander. So it’s safe to say my colors are a bit complex

u/GarboseGooseberry 3h ago

My only grievance with Techie is that the Opus Machina decal is part of the leg piece, so I can't paint that knee red for a lore accurate DW Techmarine

u/SuperiorYammyBoi Salamanders 3h ago

Dude I know, my main complaint with the techmarine (I unironically love them, they have a little bit of everything but aren’t boring like the tactical so they are my favorite class) is the lack of customization. I would love if they could get more

Willing to match with your brothers is far cooler than wanting to be a rainbow colored unique butterfly lmao

Everytime I see a super duper unique paint scheme I can only roll my eyes at the desperation for attention

Also being mad that the black templars are possibly one of the most popular chapters ever just makes you come off as jealous

Brother. The Neophyte has two Knee crosses.

Actually I use one of none

The link goes to my SM2 marines and the pic is of my first combat patrol

Edit— the pic refuses to be in the comment and makes a new comment so New Link

u/Cr0ma_Nuva Definitely not the Inquisition 6h ago

How many racial slurs were flung in the VC per minute? In my experience it's 1 per minute per Templar.

Jokes aside, I do like matching with the squad. Nice to see.

u/d3m01iti0n Black Templars 2h ago

You've never experienced any such thing.

u/Dangerous_Turnover30 5h ago

I’m confused, why are people calling out the double knee crosses? I thought it was default in the heraldry selection screen

3

u/IvoryOni04 Imperial Fists 5h ago

It's more so that Black Templars don't actually mark their knees that way,it's usually detected as blank. Maybe a number for what crusade squad you're in or maybe one cross on the knee but not both.

But it's how the heraldry selection has them and some people don't edit those which is fine

u/Gloomy_Masterpiece45 2h ago

I can't tell you since I joined the inquisition I've been put with more brothers 

I think the game legit reads your left pauldron/color palette and try to match you with players rocking a similar set up since that would read your chapter

I've played with alot of other Templars and some dark angels here and there

2 chapters I consider my marine to hail from

Since going near full inquisition it's mainly been other watch members

Usually at least one other is a watch marine while the 3rd is random

Earlier I got grouped with a set of others and man the feeling and look of badassery was insane

Snowflakes is a right wing dogwhistle these days. Parent comment conveniently forgot to mention WHY people shit on black templar fans too.

The iron cross. Not the swastika.

Maltese Cross, actually! Not trying to be an ass about it, just wanna help

Hes saying they get the maltese cross confused with the iron cross. They dont get it confused with a swastika

u/HazelAzureus 8h ago

...not all black templars, but very definitely always a black templar, lmao

dogwhistling and then doubling down on how important it is to censor people who don't like your video game faction is fucking crazy work, holy shit

u/06E46M3GTR World Eaters 9h ago

I think it's because they are popular, they attract more lore casuals, who don't get the setting, and can be often insufferable, they attract That Guy, who uses the setting to hide behind, so they can do cringey things, or specifically on this sub, cus the Sigismund event, which helped turn the BTs into a community wide joke.

BTs are a fine/fun faction, but some of their fans can be a bit verbose.

u/JohannaFRC Grey Knights 8h ago

That's fun because so far, nobody made any unpleasant comment outside of you.

Edit : also, it's Iron Cross, not Swastika. It's literally in one of your links ! Can't even read properly what you are telling us to read... absolute joke.

u/JohannaFRC Grey Knights 8h ago

Calling people snowflakes isn't helping you to show the BT under a brighter light, nor to depict you as anything but the far right guys you pretend to call out here.

One thing that keeps me from getting the Maltese cross 😔
