Fire Lord Captain Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 They look great! What are you going to do with the bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Black Templars rock :P and good painting, from what I can see. Looking forward to more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithmaril Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Picture quality looks okay, the size is too small though. Anyway, from what I can see, I like your Templars a lot. Welcome to the world of project logging, I'm looking forward to see more of your stuff. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blender Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks for all the comments guys :ph34r:. I'll try making the pictures bigger. @ Fire Lord Captain: Uhh, I never really thought about the bases. Maybe a desert theme to fit their crusading style? Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to post some more pictures of what I'm working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekky Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Looking good blender, lets see more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithmaril Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Desert bases are easy to do, look cool, and would be perfect as a contrast to your very dark marines. Additionally, they'd give you great weathering opportunities for future models, like hints of desert dust covering their feet. I'd say, go for it. :) And keep us updated.

ThomKovacs Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm planning desert bases for my templars too, I'll be following Grey_Death's guide to basing that you can find here. Look forward to seeing more from you soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blender Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Ok, I'll go with desert bases then :). Thanks for the tutorial ThomKovacs. ---------- Anyways look what I got today! http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/BlenderBucket/CIMG7067.jpg Here is one assembled. I was using Titan136's idea :D What do you guys think? http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/BlenderBucket/CIMG7068.jpg More meat shields to come.

Toddlich Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Looks good, I love Titan136's BT's...he done a fantastic job on the scou...erm neophytes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikunosuke Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Could we get bigger pics of your well-painted marines? The neophyte is ace. I'm doing my scouts based of Titan136's conversions as well. Works nicely with certain CSM helmets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kikunosuke Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks Blender. Nice highlights on the armour & shading on the robes. Hope you don't mind, but just a eensy suggestion: the area around the eyelenses & pipings could use a slight touchup on the red spillovers. How long did you take to paint one model?

Blender Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks for the touch up reminder, I don't mind. I actually want more C+C ;). I did about 5 hours per model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikunosuke Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Whoa. 5 hours a model is plenty quick (compared to me) for tabletop standard. Just one more C&C, a wash of black ink over the red pipings should help define them better (sorta like blacklining). Looking forward to seeing the neophytes painted up.

Blender Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks for the other quick tip! I just ran out of space marine heads for the neophytes so it will be a while until they get a paint job. Instead, i have some CSM helmets arriving from an eBay seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomKovacs Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Nice work Blender, I'm with you on the Neophyte's helmets, their vanilla heads are rubbish in my opinion, I'm thinking of going with Elysian Drop Troop heads from FW for my own Neophytes. Keep up the good work. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Speaking of heads, you'll want to check out this thread. It's a product rewiev thread of heads for scouts! I read it and decided to go for the visored helmets for my own neos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blender Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hey guys! Sorry for being inactive for a couple of months. Was really busy during school. For some reason during May-June, my teachers love spamming tests. Then after the tests, I had finals and Provincials ;). Well I survived so that means more Templars. Anyway, here is a Marshal I'm doing for the Templar expansion crusade challenge :D. There will also be a EC I'm working on. http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/BlenderBucket/CIMG7428.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/BlenderBucket/CIMG7429.jpg http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/BlenderBucket/CIMG7430.jpg Not bad for a 15 year old eh? The Marshal is about 90% done. Need to do the claws, this medal thing, and a backpack. Still deciding which backpack to give him. By the way, Don't worry about the basing. I'll base them as soon as I can get a bucket of sand from the nearby playground. The static grass is also coming. C&C as always. I have another crusader squad to do so wait a little longer please. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messanger of Death Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Looking good Blender (especially for a 15 yr old) and good luck with the Expansion Challenge. Black highlights look clean with no blotches...especially since it only takes you 5 hours to paint a Templar. It's taking me like 2 years to paint some of my guys. Cheers, Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blender Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Well I painted this guy in 4 hours. Just take your time and you'll plow through models in no time ;) On another note: I just noticed how messy my painting is up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
