For me the trick is to not care at all what the current rules are. Obviously if you're a competitive tournament player this doesn't work for you. But my friends and I play whatever edition we want. Ignore FAQs and Errata. House rules galore. No one cares about winning. To us, dying in a cinematic last stand is way more fun than sweaty try-hard nonsense. In fact lately we've just been playing OPR: Grimdark Future because the rule set is free and simple and it allows us to focus on looking at our cool toys and terrain while we play rather than burying our nose in a rule book when we should be having fun. I only buy GW books if I want art and inspirational lore these days.

They have purple eyes from living so close to the eye of terror. You can even see this disgusting mutation in the Space Marine 2 trailer.

You know you're a Black Templar when you're angry that the Leagues of Votann are listed under 'Xenos' on GW but the new Cadian models probably won't be. An ab-human is an ab-human, brothers. Suffer not the unclean to live!

Neither is Grimaldus’ helmet. It used to bug me a little bit I learned to like it Eh at least that's a stylized face what with the "teeth" of the mouth grill. Yeah that's why it grew on me. I might even paint mine bone colored. So excited for it to get here. I always used that dark angel's FW helmet with the brazier in the mouth piece as my crusaders helm. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Dark-Angels-Legion-Heads-Upgrade-Set The incense wafts across the battlefield and enrages the initiates haha

Man I can’t handle these threads. We got everything we wanted. And I thought we already had the most goodies out of every chapter aside from the ultramarines. Most pages of lore, most named characters, we even had our own unique troop and elite choice. And that was BEFORE this release! We’ve always had the best upgrade sprues and this time that hasn’t changed. No one else has their relics modeled out. Every new thing in this update emphasizes the play style we want. Run up and hit things really hard, and never fall back. Are we THE VERY BEST army now? I actually have no clue. Probably not. I don’t think about it. I also don’t think about how this little rule or that little rule might encourage or discourage me from running my guys on foot to the middle of the board to hit stuff really hard. I just do it. You already said you don’t play super competitive. You can play the way you want! :D you don’t need permission from the meta.

Just made this for y'all.

My primaris crusade badge uses a holy grail icon. The lore behind it is that they are on a crusade into the imperium nihilus to make contact with other black templars that were cut off by the great rift. Their mission is to see if any of them survived and if so, to share the knowledge of the new primaris gene seed, represented by the holy grail on their banners. So yes, I definitely think it fits.

This is some brilliant work. It makes me want to start necromunda. Keep it up!

I'm very excited to watch this progress
