paolo1023 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hey, new to this forum and just thought i would post what small progress i have made on my current 40k project: Firstly we have an Emperor's Champion: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000649.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000647.jpg Then we have my First Crusade Squad (which happens to be my only one at the moment n :mellow:) http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000611.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000612.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000609.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000608.jpg And the Razorback/Rhino http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000615.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000614.jpg That's all for now. On my desk at the moment i have a Marshal, Chaplain with jump pack, and 5 Sword Brethren Termies. Also! Could anyone tell me the best thing to use to get paint off of plastic models (With somethin I can get in the UK). As soon as i have worked out how to do that i will have another 15 marines!

Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hmm, Dettol works, and there is also Fairy power spray, and flash degreaser but I don't know the specifics, like how long to leave it :lol: Hopefully someone else can help Great looking models, possibly could do with a wash or something on the robes, and possibly the scouts' faces. Other than that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Solid stuff, looks promising. Have you based those scouts yet? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thank you. Yes all the scouts, initiates, and the EC are all based in the same way as the terminators are. Eventually i will go round and put some scorched grass on them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well, I have finished the Chaplain and Marshall http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000689.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000686.jpg And just to prove i have based the other guys: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000690.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000693.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well i got bored tonight and decided to try and do a bit of free hand on the top doors of my rhino. This is only the second time i have tried free hand like this and am reasonably happy with the result (although the paint is a little bobbly). I'm also posting my first attempt at free hand. This was on the back of my chaos rhino, it was for some khorne bezerkers, hence the symbol. The BT rhino: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000695.jpg The Chaos rhino: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000697.jpg Both together: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000699.jpg Any c&c, ANY AT ALL, I would love to hear it. ;) **EDIT** Just noiced how TERRIBLE the writing on the scroll is... ;) *runs away, grabs paintbrush and frantically trys to make it better* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Well it's been quite a while since i updated this and big things have happened! I have decided that i really hate painting black so i changed my colour scheme to this: Termies: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000745.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000743.jpg Close up of the power fist http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000747.jpg Assault Marines (Currently with out jump packs): http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000753.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000756.jpg Close up of power sword http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000754.jpg Really happy with these guys. Especially so with the power weapons. They are a lot easier to paint this way and, imo, look better. Also, never realised how relaxing painting wiggly white lines onto your models can be (It's meant to look like script and what not...) One problem I have them is what to call the chapter. I was going to say they are red templars, but when i read some of the fluff for them they weren't quite what i thought they were. Any one have any ideas as to what to name a chapter that are like the black templars, but aren't black, they're red, but not red templars? Still any c&c will be appreciated. -EDIT- Just so you know, the templar crosses are hand painted onto the shoulder pads of the AM which is why they aren't very uniform, hoping that i get better at that as i paint more marines.

MagicMan Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thats a pretty cool alternative colour scheme man, they look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I have to say I preferred the black and white scheme, you had it down, and there was definite improvement in your skills model on model [chaplain and marshall looked sick]. Having said that the new scheme is fine, and your painting is really good, more than solid tabletop quality. I like the powerfists on the termies, but I'm afraid I'm not a fan of the powerswords. I like the eyes on your new minis. Keep it up and keep posting B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emperors chosen Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 First off I can definitely see improvement from your first models. I think for your next step you should try a wash on the termis armor, it would really highlight the bone bits. Great work though, and I can't wait to see more!

FatMan Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The painting looks solid and clean but (and here it comes) please scrape away any mold lines and drill out barrels (or at least paint it) before painting. I know it tedious and boring to get rid of mold lines but it improves the overall look of your army by a 100%, and honestly when I see mold lines all I can think of is how lazy you were. Other than that, really nice models! Laters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Much prefer the red scheme, call them the Crimsom Templars :P How have you done the red by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks all for the compliment and encouragement. I should have some more things to post soon...Should... I like Crimson Tempalrs, that might be a possibilty (Unless it's a joke that i am missing :P) The red is really simple: Chaos black spray undercoat Mechrite Red Basecoat Badab Black Wash Drybrush of Blood Red. And then just some white squiggly lines to represent script! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well quick semi-update! I have been thinking about the history of the newly named "CRIMSON TEMPLARS" (Thank you Reyner! ;) ) The Crimson Templars are a fleet based, second found chapter, decended from the Imperial Fists. They are similar to the black templars in fighting style. They are one of the few space marine chapters to revere the Emperor of Mankind as a God that watches over all in his imperium. For that reason i designed this to go on top of my rhinos (If i can get good at free hand :)): http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000763.jpg It's based off of what i see as the Lectitio Divinitatus emblem and the classic, templar, Maltese Cross thing. Let me know what you think about it. And any ideas fluff wise would be greatly appreciated! I am currently painting a 9 man squad + Rhino and will also be painting a helbrecht once i have fixed him (His sword snapped off :( ) and an EC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 I HAVE FINISHED PAINTING SOMETHING!!

verpine Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Painting skill improvement WIN! These looks so great! The powerfist on that terminator blew me away, and the red scheme looks so much better than the plain old BT scheme. Keep up the great work!

paolo1023 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks guys. This has got to be the best reaction to my painting i have had on any forum so they're making me feel pretty good so thank you very much ^_^ I have finished the rhino to go with the 9 men i already posted. Here it is: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000772.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000773.jpg And with the squad: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000774.jpg I don't really know what to paint next though, it's either repaint the terminators or some characters (Chaplain with jump pack, chaplain/marshal on bike, high marshal helbrecht, marshal and, finally, an Emperor's champion) What do you think i should paint next?

Olis Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Go for a character, brother. That way you can spend some quality time nailing the paintjob. Maybe Helbrecht? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
