The Black Templar’s Gaze: A Meme of Heresy and Hobby Defiance

The Judgment of the Templar

This meme perfectly captures that soul-piercing moment your Black Templar friend finds out you’ve been secretly collecting xenos. The look on his face? Pure distilled heresy detection, like he’s already composing your execution litany in High Gothic. His cold stare screams, “Purge the alien,” while you’re awkwardly cradling your lovingly painted Eldar like a guilty child caught with contraband. It’s a visual excommunication in progress. You can almost hear a chainsword revving up somewhere in the background. His trust is shattered, and your collection? On the verge of being declared Exterminatus-worthy.

Hobby Heresy and Proud of It

But you? You’re unbothered, maybe even smug, as you pull out the Codex Astartes with excitement. “Sorry, not sorry,” you mutter, flipping to a page that totally doesn’t support your xeno obsession. You explain it’s for “narrative variety” while he’s already planning a crusade through your display cabinet. The contrast is hilarious—your joyfully heretical hobby against his righteous fury. In the end, this meme is the perfect snapshot of Warhammer friendship dynamics: one paints for fun, the other purges for honor. And somewhere, the Emperor watches… with deeply conflicted feelings.
