I didin't say it would cause trouble, eh. If anything it's good that it could be associated with Real World Black Templars, eh.
We do have the -tel suffix. Easiest example - "представи́тель", which I belive is pronounced "predstavitel" is "przedstawiciel" in Polish. There are more words like this, albeit I don't think -ciel has been ever used in conjunction with "wojować".
Ah, yeah, after some research, it turns out it's either Proto- Indoeuropean or Proto-Slavic.
That being said, I just noticed the whole 'Hetman Horus' thing
And now I can't stop imagining him with a stereotypical Zaporozhian Cossack mustache and forelock, wearing sharovary over his power armor.
The Emperor, in thick Ukrainian accent: "Well, son, did your Chaos gods help you?"
(Aside note: I do understand that hetman is originally a Polish title, it's just still hilarious to me.)

“See this Payam!” cried the gods, “He deceives us! He cruelly abuses our lustful hearts!”

Him as fat Polish nobleman doesn't really help either. And I belive Hetman is originally Czech title.

That being said, I shooped a Cossack mustache onto a portrait of young Horus (all credit to original artist):

What does the title mean?

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.

What does the title mean?

"Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!"

It is used as a caption on a picture of a commisar sitting on a baneblade, brandishing his sword.
I'm at work, so I can't use google, or else I'd link it.

Demons are preferable to ravens.
A noble just suffered a genuine unfortunate accident.
Has that ever happened before?

Thats, in fact, not a Baneblade. Commissars using Baneblades as personal taxis usually go "DRIVE ME CLOSER, I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY POWER KLAW!"

That's weird, it was a fine size on my computer, but super small on my phone.

Either way, that's a Leman Russ, specifically the Demolisher variant.

Note that FFG, Black Library, Games Workshop and a lot of other people making official stuff for Wh40k are fully aware of /tg/ and especially of this meme so they enforce it in full effect. Infamous Dawn of War Bernn wanting to hit them with his sword despite carrying power-fist at the moment and (not the same, but related) Commissar Dan come to mind.

Seriously, if it's a meme on /tg/ there's a quite big chance it will be canon.

Also I'm pretty sure that's a standard Russ, not the Demolisher
