titan136 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hey guys, wanted to share with you a couple of Black Templar bikes I painted up. Yeah I know, BT bikes suck =\ BUT THEY LOOK COOL! I've armed them with lances (power weapons) and Meltaguns (strapped to their bikes) so i can switch in between the two options. There are a couple more bikers (ablative wounds) who are waiting to be finished. I also intend on doing an attack bikes which will double as a character (probably a chaplain) standing in the side car (chariot style!) http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Black%20Templars/Biker_Group2.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Black%20Templars/Biker_Group1.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Black%20Templars/Biker1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/140777-black-templar-bikers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
solid snake drive Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Awesome. Just Awesome. They remind me so much of the old crusader cavalry. So romantasized but cool nonetheless.

FuriousFerret Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 amazing work! I am on the fence about 'knighting up' the BT theme any further, but your work is splendid.

Terminatorinhell Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 nothin more bad ass than BT on bikes with huge lances. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/140777-black-templar-bikers/#findComment-1627446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yeh they look sweet! better than most cavalry oriented bikers i've seen.. truly medieval!

TechnoBarbarian Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Very well done and thematic bikers titan :lol: How did you make the bases? Are they just two 40mm rounds with sprue along the edges?

titan136 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks for all the comments guys! Iago: I've noticed you've been using bikes more frequently in your battle reports. how have they been working for you? Got any tips and tricks? Arch Angel: yeah my BT are my main painting army. I have several other armies but none of which i've put the same amount of effort in converting and painting as the templars Terminatorinhell: not JUST huge lances my friend, huge lances AND strapped on meltaguns! Technobarbarian: The bases were done using the GW tutorial (40mm squad base and 40mm round base cut in half Sandalphon: I found that most calvalry oriented bikers use the bretonian bits which are more arthurian. i wanted my templars to look like they're from the dark ages so I used darker colors and a more gritty selection of weapons. I am Legion: thanks, I hope we get the chance to see each others armies in person soon! mext month perhaps? I'm going to cuba next week.

Maladon Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Wow, I think I still have some of the old chaos banner poles too.... I may consider stealing the idea for either chaos marines or for a Black Templar army. Actually I'll use them for Khornate biker knights instead..... Thanx for the idea.

Iago Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 titan: By bikers have been a very interesting experience, I use them mostly because I have been stiring away from lascannons and going for meltaguns and multi meltas. they scare the opponent alot more than they really have to and I usually get them assaulted (through no fault of their own). I can elaborate on another thread, maby a PM. Lets keep this to your amazing painting.

Brother Richard Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Very impressive Titan... I seem to remember a thread a while back discussing the use of lances on bikes. These surely look capable of penetrating most armor (killing a driver or desecrating the machines spirit) let alone the poor sop standing on the roadside hoping to hitch a ride. I would like to try the same, except model a melta grenade on the end (sort of a shaped charge on a stick). I will have to look into the new 5th to see how to make that work... Back on topic - Great work, good scheme and nice heraldry!

lhg033 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 love the combination of bits you've used. some great character you've given to these and the paint job is brilliant. may have to steal a few ideas to adapt for my ravenwing B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/140777-black-templar-bikers/#findComment-1629668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Excellent work titan. They look great. I could never push through doing mine since they are lack luster performers but those are worth using. :unsure: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/140777-black-templar-bikers/#findComment-1629878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSarge Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What specifically are those lances/ banner poles from? I can't locate them.. and I try and catalogue all the bits in plastic and metal.

Brother-of-Absolution Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If I am not mistaken, the lances are from the old Chaos Warriors box. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/140777-black-templar-bikers/#findComment-1853887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
