Jud Cottrell Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hey brothers of the Eternal Crusade! I started a Primaris Crusade a long time ago. I painted about 10 models and didn’t follow through as I got distracted by my Krieg force. Now it’s a new year and my brother wants to join in on the 40k fun! He’d previously started his own Successor Chapter but has fallen in love with everyone’s favourite Space Crusaders! We have a deal, he’ll do the modelling and I’ll do the painting. True to form, I started with the model that I’d enjoy painting most! Here’s the Marshal (as yet unnamed) of the Promethean Crusade: Black Templars Marshal Black Templars Marshal Black Templars Marshal Gotta say the new Black Templars range is phenomenal and I can’t wait to do more! Thanks for looking and please let me know what you think. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Vakarian Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Jud—amazing work as always! Love to see you working on Templars. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Excellent work on the Marshal. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kraskor Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Gorgeous! The colours fit really well together somehow. The eye is naturally drawn to the right places. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud Cottrell Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Thanks very much brothers! Slave to Darkness, nice to see you active here too! I’ll be mixing things up between my Krieg and the Templars so should keep both threads updated frequently! Brother Captain Vakarian, I’m looking forward to adding more soon. Bjorn Firewalker thanks for the encouragement! Cheers Brother Kraskor! I thought I’d over done it with the gold so I’m glad you think it works. Next up will be the first Crusader squad.

Brother Kraskor Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 No the gold is just right! Tastefully done. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhard Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 That gold is also quite sexily done, which helps when there's a lot of it. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud Cottrell Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Thanks Brother Kraskor and Reinhard! Got away with it! Work has started on the Crusader Squad. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud Cottrell Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Small update. I finished the first model of the Crusader squad! The level of detail on the new Black Templars Primaris is just mind blowing. Even the troops sport the detail of other faction’s characters! Can’t say enough good things about them. Anyway, here’s the pics: Crusader Crusader More Crusaders to come! I’m loving these models! Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kraskor Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Looks great. Brooding almost. Again I like the scheme. And totally agreed, the new kits are mind-blowing! Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Good job. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhard Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I'm pretty much of the mind set that space marine design has now peaked with the sword brethren kit. I've yet to deep diverse into the crusader kit, but I imagine that with the exception of there only being two neophyte body poses aside, im going to have a much similiar opinion of the crusader kit.

Jud Cottrell Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Brother Kraskor, thanks again! Cheers Bjorn Firewalker. Reinhard, couldn’t agree more! Believe me when you get around to the Crusader Squad you’re gonna love it! There’s enough bitz to make the squad plus Templar up another squad (in my case it’ll be Intercessors) I’m currently working on my fourth Initiate and I’m wondering shall I add a flaming torch on his back pack to single him out as a relic bearer? I could use the representation of the relics that’s in the upgrade pack but then I can only use that particular one. Plus being the Promethean Crusade they need fire right?

Urkh Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I like how simple the paintjob seems at first glance, but then closer inspection shows the work you put in. Cool stuff! Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud Cottrell Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Cheers Urkh! I’ve made some progress on the Templars this week! First up are the Initiates for the Crusader Squad (another squad is in the post!) I found these very interesting and a joy to paint, every model oozes character and the threat of righteous zeal! Here’s the pics: Black Templar Initiates Black Templar Initiates Black Templar Initiates Black Templar Initiates Black Templar Initiates Black Templar Initiates Black Templar Initiates Black Templar Initiates Apologies for the wall of pics but I got a little trigger happy!

Slave to Darkness Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Looking good! I hope there will be a Holy Orb of Antioch somewhere in this army. Best 'bit' GW has ever put on a sprue imho. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhard Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Tempted to swipe that red finger style on the fist. Its either that or doing occasional blue powerfieldery... I think you managed to get me to cave in, I need to dive in on my crusader kit, finally. Lovely boyos Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud Cottrell Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Thanks Bjorn Firewalker! Slave to Darkness, haha! Yeah it’d be rude not to include the Holy Hand Grenade! Reinhard, cheers! Go for it! It’s a fantastic set. As for the red fingers, it’s a nod to my bruv’s old successor chapter! I thought it would give another point of interest on the model.

Jud Cottrell Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 I’ve finally finished the first Crusade Squad! I really enjoyed these Neophytes (dodgy hair cuts aside!) The squad as a whole is just festooned with added details. Here’s the pics: Black Templars Crusader Squad Black Templars Crusader Squad Black Templars Crusader Squad Black Templars Crusader Squad I struggled a lot on the faces as I’m used to painting rebreather units. I think they turned out ok. Next up will be the Emperor’s Champion. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x19 Parabellum Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Some good stuff here! I think the faces turned out lovely. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cristopher Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A "plus one" to what 9x19 Parabellum said - lovely models and I'd wouldn't mind being able to paint faces the way you do. Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud Cottrell Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Thanks lads! I’m currently back in my comfort zone and working on helmeted/covered faces! Back to top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
