This is my first proper thread since joining this forum. I am finally committed to playing 40k tabletop. So I spent the coin to buy models in preparation for 10th ED. I'll run down my two prospective armies: | Black Templars | Ever since I first heard about 40k, the Black Templars have been one of my favorite chapters. I may have liked others more at one time or another. For example, before I settled on BT I intended on building a Raven Guard, Crimson Fists, or Iron Hands army. But I always felt myself drawn back to the Templars, so I decided on them (also my brother is building a Blood Angels army, who I was also considering building and I wanted something different). Their aesthetic, their lore, the way they fight, everything about them screams a 40k that I adore. It represents something that other chapters don't provide me. Something distinctly older, something gothic, something unique. It helps my favorite Primarch is Rogal Dorn as well, the IF and their successors just appeal to me. I've bought most of these boxes fairly recently, and it's the army I intend to be my first to play a game of 10th ED when it releases. I also have a Predator kit on the way. I debated on getting that or a Rhino, but opted for the tank because I love it so much. Next | Word Bearers | This prospective army is much, much smaller right now. Just 5 CSM from a box of 10 I split with my brother and a box of Raptors. And this is probably where it will stay for now. I originally intended to build a Iron Warriors army, but settled on the WB after much thought. I am a loyalist first and foremost. But the Word Bearers have always been an interesting warband to me, and Lorgar an interesting character. Additionally, I really like their color scheme. This army will be painted, but priority is the BT. /// I will update this thread as I make progress, but it will probably be very infrequent. All tips and criticism welcome, I am extremely novice tabletop player, builder, and painter. I want to get better.

What do they say, 'When in doubt, write fluff' ? Maybe, maybe not... Vox chatter picked up serendipitously after the Second Vendetta Crusade command made landfall for a Command and Control Intelligence Reevaluation. Compliance was uniform and Zon and the column of leadership on board Vendetta Crusader Catena Gladius gave orders to secure domain. <fluff> </fluff> +++=== The Project ===+++ The project I started in 2016(?) to build a hand-made (no patterns, no kit) from scratch Keep based on images and ideas drawn from older BT Codex (or current Codex for that matter). I cut out, assembled, and tried to get the start on this. I then put it aside for a while. ( Materials/Methods: 1/4" pressboard, 3/16" birch plywood, bandsaw, drillpress, pnuematic-pinner (think air powered nail-gun but very small headless nails aka -- "pins", and misc parts sculped by hand from pine (soft easy sand) etc.. ) Fast forward years... BT are back in business, literally and figuratively. So, after finishing the latest Indomitus model painting vow, I got some models that are worth billeting into the aforementioned Keep. Prior to the actual Crusade, some planet-fall action takes place. And the Keep, and required structures are next in line. Going to try to think of a courtyard section to envision an honorarium (open air, stone) dais to place rememberances of fallen Brothers of the last Crusade (something about the Armageddon Books is pulling me in that direction.. don't know why). Anyway... the start (re-start) of the Keep. +++=== Next Steps ===+++ Much more to follow as I get around to finishing the woodwork, prime, putty (plaster more like) and so on... The 6' x 4' table isn't pictured but that is the footprint of the whole model terrain idea.. Keep, Honorarium, Field. All of the Space Marines and the Redemptor Dreadnought were completed in the last Indomitus Vow 2021-2022. Models are in the pictures to show relative sizes and format.

Knightfall | Indomitus 2021/2022 | After Action Review
sibomots posted a topic in + BLACK TEMPLARS +
This is a post to start a thread on the after-action review of the Knightfall Indomitus 2021/2022 I'm making this post to capture the "what worked, what didn't work" aspect. Moderator - feel free to nuke, edit, or advise on better placement. TL;DR; Fun. Thanks to TheOneTrueZon and rest of the crew. I really enjoyed seeing the other models being completed. Was a big factor in doing better! I like the way the Dreadnought turned out. I need to practice dry brushing more frequently on scrap plastic, and I need to spend even more time in the dry-fit, gap-fill, surface prep. Planning ahead is a good thing. Time to fetch bits, time to let paint dry overnight, etc.. Patience prevails. I will do this again. Main things: 1. It got me off the couch. I have probably started 2500 points worth of models over the last few years but never really finished them to the point of TT++ readiness. The event got me off the couch and at the desk to model, paint and admire the examples of all the other players here. I really enjoyed the challenge. 2. What worked: 3. What didn't work: 4. Things that I found that surprised me how useful they were: Respectfully submitted, -sibomots- 12 replies

And my gaze is fixed on this INQ model and his friends... https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Grey-Knights-Inquisitor-with-Inferno-Pistol-Power-Sword I need to add some color to the palette and (perhaps) INQ + BT is a thing?

The Emperor's Shadows Space Marine Chapter. Based on models painted by Victoria Lamb for the 5th Edition How to Paint Space Marines book. Note: Due to the amount of 'detail' in this sheet, it is not scaled to the usual A5 paper, but rather the half sized A6 paper (roughly 1/4 the size of US Letter paper).- 1 review
