Marshal Rohr Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Cool Knight Templar cross over, but you should go back with watered down Skull White and clean up the shading. Aslo for future Ideas you might want to trim down the Terminator shoulder pad at where it juts out behind the main portion of the shoulder pad. It lets the pad rest closer to the model and still looks big. Will these guys be Black Templar-like Crusaders or Codex marines with a knightly theme. The Army looks really good, It will be striking seeing a sea of white and red rush an opponent.

Brother Captain Darius Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 That's a good idea for the termi shoulder pad. I'm about halfway done painting them (except for the chapter master) so I still have alot of cleaning to do. And they are just knightly themed. I wanted to go with the whole every figure unique with his own heraldry. I bought a lot of transfers from the Bretonian and other old knight figures. Anyway, thanks for the post, and the feedback. I appreciate all! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161076-my-diy-chapter-the-poor-knights-of-the-emperor/#findComment-1891018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Darius Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Basically they were away at war and they left 2 companies (led by the assault on blackreach commander who I named Brother Captain Pelagius) and 2 Imperial Guard regiments to defend their planet, Acer (I have a 2000 point guard army that is notorious for losing against Tau). Anyway, while they were away, a huge Tau strikeforce came and took the planet, killing the guardsmen and most of the marines to a man. Only Pelagius escaped, with his retinue, and brought word to Chapter Master Atar Bahrain. So Atar, in mourning of the loss, renamed their chapter The Poor Knights of the Emperor and took an oath to eschew all worldy possessions and distractions until Acer was back in the Imperium's hands. So they became a crusade army, and Pelagius is now The Penitent. Atar let him live, but to punish him for the loss of their sacred home Pelagius has to lead the army from the front, being the first on the field and last off (I drop pod him as close to the enemy army as I can every battle to represent this). So that's it. A side note is that the Chapter Master and the Honour Guard are all named after the five fires in Persian myth that kept demons at bay, hence the Squad is called the Divine Fires of Sassania.
