Would you like to fight in my crusade? Brother Taio

[d3m01iti0n]

Thanks very much all,

 

@Acebaur, glad you like it. You've waited long enough. :) and erm,...no. lol. :P

The right leg was altered at the knee to fit the hero pose, the left one is untouched.

 

@d3m01iti0n, Yup, The BT forum is pretty tight bunch(if not a little crazy) of Crusading brothers(not to say the others ones aren't of course) and wanted to show that brotherhood by making them in miniature, and having named Templars within my Crusade rather than brother bob and dave etc. Also for interesting modeling/units that I may not of other wise thought of or done. :)

 

 

As for additional requests, I'll make a note of it but I've got a fair bit to get through.

 

What did you have in mind d3m01iti0n? keeping in mind no dreadnoughts, chaplains, or Marshal types really.

Well as per my avatar I like to think of myself as a Techmarine. I'm a muscle car petrol head for life, and online I'm a grumpy servo-armed monstrosity constantly griping about change. V8s are da best! Down with Clone Troopers! The Omnissiah demands that new is bad, old is good.

 

I always ran a Techmarine beatstick in my 4th Ed lists. Guy didn't even fix anything, just broke witches. Servo harness, power axe, terminator Honors, just slogging with the Black Tide. That's me.

Probably just the one pic for now, hard drive appears to be proper broke :(

 

OK, here goes. Using a hudl tablet so a bit awkward.

Huh, wasn't so bad.

 

(Edit)Apologies, had posted it as un-named. But of course this is Brother Taio.

So, apparently re-seating the connections to the cd drive, mother board and graphics card done the job. Also got a upgrade in power and graphics card. Due to my mates courtesy, techy know how and spare parts as fortune has had it he was upgrading his stuff at the same time. I'm back in proper business.

 

last of the five. Couldn't get the hands quite right as the plastic parts were in bad shape. Also might of went a tad over board on the dry brushing in places, camera picks up it really well, or badly here. Looks fine in real life. 

 

The inspiration for the below

I'm a big fan of your style and the execution! Do you mind me asking where the small and medium sized heater shields came from? Great accessories for pauldrons, as you have expertly demonstrated.

[Eberious]

Thanks JAG Templar, the pauldron shield on Brother Taio was made from plasticard tube. 

 

The small ones... took me a minute to remember where I took the smaller ones from. If I recall correctly they are from WHF empire and bretonnia bits. I'm not 100% sure, but it stands a good chance I have used bits from those ranges a fair bit. But they are mostly greenstuff copies. I made press moulds of them so I could copy them as many times as needed. 

[Reyner]

Awesome stuff man, love the Eviscerator marine :D and there is loads of character in the marine holding his helmet, looks great and he also reminds me of Jango Fett/Temuera Morrison a little... 

[SWORD BROTHER RYAN]

Okay, I'll go ahead and say it.

 

I would be humbled beyond words if you would include this particular new Sword Brother into your Crusade. I understand if not.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job. I like the weathering effects on the Templars' armor.

[Eberious]

Thanks very much all.

 

@Sword brother Ryan, I can't promise anything as a lot to get though. But leave the idea you have in mind and when I do a spot of modeling to catch up I'll see where I am.  

[+Chaplain Matthias+]

Is this offer still open? If so, I'd like to be an initiate with a chainsword in one hand and his helmet in another. Relaxed pose. I figure the chaplain positions are filled so disregard that part of my name. This thread has been very inspiring. I've taken some painting tips from the minis you've been posting

[Eberious]

Thank you for the very kind comment and I'm glad it inspires you and have gotten something from it. Model wise, for the moment, I'll make a note. :)
