WIP BT Redux


Recommended Posts

Well, I've been in and out of the hobby for about 7 years and looking at my previous attempt at templars, I can see a steady evolution. So, I attempt now to redo my entire army or at least most of it. First up is the characters.

With my new found love of GS and procreate, I'm attempting to make my own converted models. So, for my first GS-fu and converting attempts, we have an Emperor's Champ and a Chaplain. This is mainly because these are the most heavily used in a BT force, so I thought I'd start with them.

The Emperor's champion I thought I'd have praying before a battle. Kneeling, sword and BP out in front of him, beseeching the Emperor to give him strength.

The Chaplain should be heading into battle, and with that, I imagined him leaping off a raised piece of scenery into the enemy. With that, my Chappy is launching himself into the enemy.

Really like the pose / idea for the emperors champion. Reasonably unique pose as far as I know.

 

Bit of the pity that it's tournament illegal tho. (A model have to use the "correct" size base, and he's not.)

Not that something minor like a "too large" base should be a problem for friendly matches.

But I suppose it's worth mentioning.

 

The chest of the chaplain .. well. To be honest, I don't think much of it, but that GS stuff is something you'll have to learn by trial and error. (And hopefully, some success eventually.)

Like the pose on him, truly dynamic. Up close and personal, just what you'd expect of a BT chaplain.

 

The marshal, well, as you said, he's generic.

Nothing "overly" dramatic or heroic about him. Do have a sense of "calm command" to his pose tho.

Seems to have been a good boyscout in his days too. Anything from holy texts to grenades and meltaweapons.

@Naglfar: I've never really worried about tournament legal when I do things like this, but yes, unfortunately his larger base makes him tourney illegal. I considered squishing it down, but I felt the base would be too crowded if I did that. Looking back I guess I could have pushed him a little off the base to fit everything on, but I'm happy with the way it looks atm.

The chest got a little squished I think, but yea, its not a great chest you're right. Hopefully I can fix that up in painting...? We shall see. I got the idea off the regular kind of running legs, but didn't like how they make it seem like he's doing a pirouette.

Soon to come, command squad, crusader squad, and other shenanigans.

EDIT: Updated with Command Squad!
