jokaero weaponsmith Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Dakkadakka Dakka Plague Marine Sergeant “How did those loyalists infiltrate our lines” Plague Marine “We thought they were ours” Plague Marine Sergeant “How” Plague Marine “They are 1000 heathens Marines Malevolent” Plague Marine Sergeant “Oh” (face palm) Dakkadakka dakka Marine Malevolent “Sarge, check out all this shiny new kit we just procured” Awesome to see your back, pity it couldn’t have been under better circumstances. Your MM are a source of inspiration can’t wait to see your iron knights in all their techno glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ah ha! Greetings Heathens, welcome back, and straight in with some stellar MM's! They all look good to me, but I reckon No.2 would look better with a BP with his Bolter on a sling but still great! All the best FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thank you all for your well-wishes to my family. I really do appreciate it. The wife is doing better now, and the baby is ok. One plus of all this hospital madness was that we found out it's a Girl!! Sadly, this means I'll be having to use some of my disposable income for a few firearms when she gets to a dating age, but still have a few years until then. :( Also, I am quite humbled to know so many of you enjoy my thread, thank you for all your support and help over the last year and a half during this project. You have all helped motivate me to better myself a better painter and modeller, and for that, you have my thanks. Anyhow, y'all ain't here to see me blab...you want some more insane mini's, lol. So, here you go... The Black Templars... HAVE HAD ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOUR CRAP!!! A joy to build, and a fun change from my rusted maniacs. I can't explain how annoying it was to get that tiny maltese into the center of his jump pack quick-release button on his chest, lol. Hope you guys like him! Talk to ya'll later.

Dosjetka Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Very cool model :) Now put some paint on him! And good to hear that the family is alright :) Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The Black Templar is looking awesome. The tiny conversions are the ones I enjoy the most although they are a complete PITA most of the time I feel its worth it. One of the reasons I love this forum is seeing how many of us can take what are essentially the same parts and all create something unique. Good news on the wife/kid front. Wishing you all well from 'sunny' Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've always liked your models and I'm glad to see you're back. This model is no exception, looks a lot like my Minotaurs Captain, Guess it's just great minds and all.. Good to hear you and you're family are all okay.

ScottishSmurf96 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 YOU SIR ARE A GOD! I have read this thread from start to finish and I am dumbfounded because of the sheer amount of skill and dedication involved. You have inspired me to start, In the near future, a Crimson Fist army that is similar in style (busted up and scavangerish) I really dig the look of this army. P.S. After reading through this thread I am going to bill you for more new pairs of underwear than i can count. :D Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teku Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The black templar is for me more like "meh". Doesn't really scream black templar to me. The cd's you recommend in your first post are awesome ;-) Congrats on the baby news!! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 @Vairocanum, Ludovic, Biohazard, Kanithon, SincaiN and Firestorm: Thanks for the comments, and the well wishes to my family! @ScottishSmurf: That's...one hell of a compliment, lol. Thanks man, glad you like! @Teku: Glad you like the album man, (Armageddon II and Detatch are friggin' awesome tracks, lol) but what about the Templar doesn't say 'Templar'? The fella is covered in Maltese's and Purity seals, for Throne's sake, lol! Eh, maybe you'll like him better with a coat of paint, I got some pretty awesome ideas for the heraldry. Honestly, though, if you have a thought to help him look the part, please let me know, I'm open to suggestions! Third member of Tris Squad. It was a bit daunting picking up a paintbrush after not painting for so many months, to be honest. I made a few screw-ups here and there, but overall, I feel like I'm back on track. Comments and suggestions welcome, as always. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Melice Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 i dont know, i love the way the dude turned out great job my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Umm...not really sure what to do with this guy yet, but the parts and pose was too cool to pass up. Oh my! Absolutely love the arrogant pose on this one. The power fist arm is one of my all time favorite Chaos bitz. I love how your able to seamlessly blend the ForgeWorld armour Mk.s with plastic bitz! Yeah... HOLY CRAP! Always loved poses like this. Really good to see you back! Keep em comin'. +++Mr.M+++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 It might be the style in which you paint your models Heathens but I can't find any mistakes. It looks pretty much on par to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have spent the past few days going through this thread and can honestly say I like everything I've seen :P Your posing is fantastic and the battle-damaged scheme has come off really well. Looking forward to seeing how you handle the Templars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Great stuff with the newly finished guy. As what seems to be with all your dudes, he oozes malice from every pore. Improvments? The only thing I can suggest is maybe make the black highlights slightly thinner? Easier said than done as its something I always struggle with myself. Its only something I pick up on as you are doing Templars next and there is a lot of black! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SincaiN Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 He looks good to me man .. fits in with the rest, beat up and worn from kicking names and taking @$$es .. well you know what I mean :D Looking forward to seeing the BT painted up .. are they going to be clean or worn as well?

NightHunters Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 BT looks great, excellent movement and the MM looks keen to stab whoever suggested he may wish to get the cleaning cloth out and buff some shine onto his armour! Great stuff as ever chap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 @Everyone: Thanks guys and gals! Glad you like! @SincaiN: The Templars will be nice and shiny, which will be a change, lol. @Midnight Runner: Yeah, highlighting black is currently the bane of my existance, lol. Any hints would be welcome. Onwards....the fourth member of Tris Squad. A pretty simple conversion, really, but he's grown on me quite a bit. The Scholar-Brother of Tris. I like to have each of the Scholar-Brothers using a different medium to write their squads' history on, went with writing the seperate victories upon his own plate this time. I kinda like how, despite this brothers' best efforts, the accumulated history of his squad is slowly disappearing from damage and rust... seems very sad and GrimDark to me, which, of course, I approve of, lol. Also, I'm pretty happy how the bolter conversion turned out... Finally, a group shot of the first five members of Tris squad, with my very first test Malevolent at the end. Poor fella finally has a squad, lol. Man, this army has come a long way since that first guy... :confused: Next is that damn Predator I've been putting off. I hate painting vehicles, but I'm absolutely sick of seeing it in my 'to do' pile. Take care, and as always, comments and suggestions welcome!

Kierdale Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looking good and brutal! Where are the new two's helms from? I don't recognise them. The text on the Scholar-Brother looks good. Very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 The old Iron Warrior upgrade kit, with the horns shaved off. :confused: You can still buy it from the GW website, think it's down in the bits section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Man, you made these guys live up to their reputation of a slowly, dying Chapter that is constantly going in and out of the meatgrinder. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Lovely stuff. Another old Rhino bolter that's been put to good use, I see. I found one of those the other day in my far-too-large bitz box; I think I'll take a crack at making a 'Heathens-pattern' bolter sometime. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
