Why Black Templars are the Coolest Space Marines in Warhammer 40k

[@FRSHGOST]

"What do you get when you combine a swat team, a priest, and a judge?" Black Templars 😂

[@theodorleberle]

*priest

[@FRSHGOST]

@@theodorleberle auto correct 😵‍💫

[@batteredwarrior]

​​@FRSHGOST I wish autocorrect wasn't ever invented. It is now the go-to excuse when people misspell something, rather than just saying "my bad". Autocorrect doesn't autocorrect words to misspelled words; just the wrong words. If the word is misspelled it's user error (either a lack of knowledge or a typo).

[@Annatar3019]

Eh, I'd say that combination is a bit more Dark Angels.

[@paulofreire7520]

From a Black Templar fan over here, that’s a great battle force and lovely painted, my man. And that Chaplain is definitely one of the best kitbashes I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot. Keep purging for the Emperaaahh 👍🏻

[@njbolt90]

[@janne4518]

[@Bapa_nada]

That scene with arriving crusader army from kingdom of heaven always gives me goosebumps

Came here just to agree with your title. Also "PURGING WITH MY KIIIIIIN"

[@tamkin007]

Considering I became a Dark Angels fan back in the 90s I agree Black looks cool

[@johanenerskog2348]

Same here and I still haven’t forgiven GW for the color change 😠😂

[@pixelfille3130]

I mean at the same time the old colour scheme got retconned in the current 40k into the fallen and for the absolute og dark angels colour scheme theres the consecrators that still have the red line on their helmets

Jay from Eons of Battle's ears have certainly perked from this.

I love blind and undying commitment to a cause, and love your content bro!

[@BarokaiRein]

12:00 This is precisely how literally everyone reads any interesting magazine. Eric isn't acting, he's just there.

[@Nathanm7977]

Eric I can only go by what the video show. So with saying that, I think your painting of your chaplain was just as good as the one you bought. I know that I am missing fine details that are lost on camera, but what I see is amazing. Your eye and knowledge of colors and sharing that with everyone helps even a new painter. If I was a player, it would be a honor to field a army painted by you. Great work all around.

[@Kataki1987]

That terminator chaplin might be the best paint job Ive seen from you. Looks great!

[@dippshow]

I'm 2 months into building up a Black Templar army, they're such a great time to paint/kit bash. Your army is looking fantastic Eric!

[@230903shorty]

This combination of one of my favourite content creators with Army Painter paints is fantastic. I only recently started the transition from Citadel paints to Army Painter, so seeing what their colours/technicals actually look like on models is soooooo useful! Great video and brilliant models, cheers!

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

6:22 It’s actually the Knights Hospitaller that the colour scheme is based on.

[@rexrules8895]

No offense, but how do you know that? The Teutons fit the bill of cruel, slaughtering crusaders a bit better, especially in the Baltic crusades.

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

@@rexrules8895 Google the Knights Hospitaller colour scheme and the Maltese Cross. I think you’ll find Malta is no where near the Baltics lmao. Also the Teutonic Knights use an either a simple cross or the what became the iron cross which is a bit different the Maltese cross adorned by the black Templars. I know for a fact imperial fists were inspired by the Teutonic Knights.

[@thomaswilliams5005]

Thanks for the painting tips. Love that tank. The silver chips really sell it.

PUSHPINS IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA!!!

[@williamamely7038]

That's one gorgeous kit bash. No doubt your paint scheme will do it justice.

[@parapotato]

You summed up why I love the Templars really well, they just fit what a Space Marine is supposed to be so well. So much so in fact it's weird they aren't a first founding chapter.

[@odharrison23]

That’s right! A left at Albuquerque, is how you get there!! Thank you sir!!

[@Xatxitor]

So many MkVII helmets. So cool Just figured he used a Lion L. Johnson for the terminator chaplain. I taught primarks were bigger

[@NicPTheMeme]

I think that might actually be Belial but melle check Edit: yes it is Belial. The scabbard is in the same place (right hip, facing upwards) the Lion doesn't have the scabbard

[@drhapi5308]

You could try that silver sponge on the terminators and other vehicles too

[@brucehemming9749]

Great video I had started 40 k with my own chapter ‘Nighthawks’ way way back with Rogue Trader and rtb01 space marines but when Third edition dropped with he black templars well I was hooked …. I have a few land raiders both godhammer and crusader patterns as well as a couple of kit bashes and forgeworld land raiders but I do have a few different squads of marines as well …. Love the channel keep the videos coming would love to see more of your Black Templars army … thanks for sharing 🍻👍

[@tiberiumnp8030]

Been waiting to see that kitbaspowerhead piece on your channel! I wonder how many Furioso dreadnought kits have been sold for just that one bit 😂

[@rousselalexandre1653]

woaaaa grtz , is very nice paint , the lava axe is epic good , middle simple and efficace , great JOB

[@warhound8496]

Honestly, really feel like the goth or secretive elements you like in black templars could be found in Dark angels. So for you, (or black templars players) what was the difference that made you go for them instead of DA ?

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

They have black armour, not green! I have some dark angels too they are cool too. Especially heresy DA with their black armour

[@warhound8496]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop fair enough! I was thinking of the ravenwing with the black armour but it's indeed true that all black templars are black, to the opposite of only the ravenwing

[@CraftandQuest]

I’ve really enjoying all the videos you’ve been putting out lately. It’s a big inspiration to me!

[@markdoyle4391]

That was great, love me a bit of Blackie Tempys

[@s4mm1tch3ll8]

I remember starting with necrons, saw a black templar army and the art on a codex and never looked at anything else ever again😂😂😂

[@andreweppling2333]

The helsreach fan movie and audiobook were my intro into 40K! 2500 pts of Templars later and still going strong! (As well as 3k points of necrons… don’t purge me I just love ‘em)

[@GloriousGrunt]

Black Landraiders always look awesome

[@NigeyWigey]

I will never not think that the Black Templars are eating the Imperial Fists lunch. It’s funny how a Fists successor has its own codex and has more unique characters and units than the Imperial Fists themselves. The Fists themselves are cool but their coolness is kind of hidden under a bushel, the Black Templars wear their coolness on their sleeve (and shoulder pads, and backpack and tabard). Great vid as usual Eric, clearly a lot of thought went into it. But you showed me a blood angel and now I’m hungry.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Great paint jobs I love the matte black look they have!

[@MrDuckyart]

Absolutely love Templars. My OC Chapter Donut Steel was a count-as Templars and I adored the upgrade kit they release for that brief window back in the mid-2000s.

[@LordMuzhy]

I just found your channel and man I love how you blend the painting aspect of the hobby with the lore!

[@Andreas-wb5vi]

Great video Eric! I like the style of your templars. My templar fascination is inspired in particular by your fondness of them.

[@Oasis_Oracle]

That segue at 4:17 was clean as hell.

[@benjaminjack867]

Fantastic looking army, seeing that land raider crusader brings back memories!

[@EyeXombie]

I've been thinking about grabbing the black Templar Combat Patrol for my first BT buy

[@Is_This_Really_Necessary]

When painting black vehicles I use one of two methods, depending on what effect I'm after. The first is I drybrush the entire model with a dark grey lLike Adeptus Battlegrey) over a black undercoat before doing directional edge highlighting with a mid-tone grey (like Codex Grey) The second is doing straight directional edge highlighting directly over a black undercoat. Definitely a little more time-consuming, but it works for me. (Especially since I don't have an airbrush.)

[@The_Bloodied_Scribe]

I have 3 favorite space marine chapters 1. Black Templars, 2. Raven Guard, 3. Crimson fists and right behind that would be my 4th favorite the Iron Hands but we don’t need to talk about that for now

[@pedropierre9594]

A successor chapter that is more popular than its founding chapter

[@abaddon7558]

a little comment on the black colour in Chanel and other fashion brand, it's due to WW1 aftermatch, where so many people were mourning their deads, during the conflict and the "spanish" flew brought by US expedition corps that almost everyone was wearing black, and Channel was tiered of that so she decided to make it fashionable (at least the legend say so) Black is also the colour of austerity (still related to space crusader monks). There is books talking about how we perciev colour and they often are inherited or influenced by issues to get those colours in ancient time, like yellow and green being colours that were turning , but ofc today with modern technologie and society evolution most have evolved.

[@craggylotus]

The black templars are the definition of grimdark aesthetics it’s hard to make them not metal as hell

[@reddragoon7981]

Space Wolves are always my favorite chapter.

[@cwj138]

Your black templars look awesome, like straight out of Helsreach. Buddy painted 30k Angron for me because I could not get it to look worthwhile, it is my favourite and best painted model by far and I love it, sometimes I bring it out just to look at for a while then put it back on the shelf. It's aspirational for me I guess. Probably one of the many reasons why he has a golden demon pin and I don't.

beautiful work on the cape

[@archellothewolf2083]

Black Templars and Dark Angels are my favorite chapters purely based on aesthetic. Robes with the power armor just look so cool. Love the Angels more typically but Templars have a MUCH better color scheme.

[@SpartanS117C]

I'd say BT are less SWAT and more a different militaristic organisation with a name starting with S and black uniforms.
