I think I've already told you, but I want to reiterate that I really enjoy your work. The OSL and zenith highlighting are very smooth. It looks like it's been done with an airbrush. Your work reminds me of Eggroll's work here http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=209606

hey brother, I am still stunned at your work but i have a few more questions. First I am looking at the picture of the chaplain Reclusiarch Eberhart from the first page and i was wondering how Dante77 was able to include the red reflections in the armor, the same is in the emperor's champion. Also I was wondering what paints and if possible what technique he used for the bones across Reclusiarch Eberhart's breast plate. Also if you could explain the colors used for the Chaplain's tabard and the white shoulder pads. And lastly what colors were used for the metal sword for the Forge World Dreadnaught. Im sorry for all the questions I just didnt want to get a mix of tutorials for different parts of my model that look right together and yours fit perfectly. I have been modeling my Marshal for a couple of months now and i plan to enter him into competitions in a few months and dont want to mess it up, i understand if you dont feel like going into all of my questions also, just askin lol.

The red glow is a "simple" OSL with "external" light source on the underside of the mini, done with watered down scab red.

 

The bones are a unique, by accident mix. Can´t really remember.

 

Tabard is kommando khaki + black for the shadows.

 

Shoulders are skull white over fortress grey + calthan brown.

 

Metal for the Contemptor sword is Boltgun metal shaded with a mix of blue, brown, black ink.

 

Sorry, being more precise would take hours of typing...

It´s been a while since the last update here. Well, work, family and a "secret" project kept me busy. Today, finally , I could afford to have an extended painting session and I´d like to share its result...

 

It´s the first of 6 aussault Termies of Swordbrethren Squad Heinrich. The photos aren´t quite the best today, but I think you can get an impression of the Termie... :-)

Wunderbare Arbeit, wirklich gut ausgeführt. Besonders gefallen mir die OSL Effekte und die Rüstungen, das Tutorial war auch hilfreich um zu verstehen, wie du diese Art der Rüstung fertiggestellt hast. ;)

 

Was auch recht geil ist, ist Barbarossa B) viel zu ketzerisch für einen templer :D Aber sehr schöner Hintergrund ;)

 

Schöne Armee im Ganzen. Würd ich gern mal gegen zocken. :)

Here´s the finished custom Termie Reclusiarch. Brother Reclusiarch Hektor!

 

http://666kb.com/i/bxt70mzl67eukcpw5.jpg

Brother Reclusiarch Hektor is a mighty bear of a man who even dwarfs other Space Marines. Only his stoic believe in the Emperor and the Primarch exceeds his brutal strenght. Since his days as a young neophyte it was obvious that one day he would join the chapters holy reclusium. Hektor´s voice is like thunder and his holy litanies can be heard all over the battlefield when he leads his furious brethren right into the heart of the enemy forces.

There he unleashes havoc amongst his foes smashing them asunder with his power fist and his relic weapon which he wields like others wield a crozius. This is the Hammer of the Sigilite and it is said that it was a gift given to Sigismund´s Templars after they defended the Imperial Palace on Terra.

Hektor has been serving his Chapter for over 300 years by now and has thus become a part of Marshall Richard´s War Council.

 

Rules-wise it is possible to build a Termi Chaplain with this weapon config. Well I don´t believe it´s a solid idea for competitive playing but damn it, it looks massive, reminding me of Ajax in the movie "Troy". I love how the conversions worked out. He´ll get a Reclusium Landraider one day... :-)

 

Although I´m going to paint him soon, I´m sorry you´ll have to wait for online pictures of him until January 2012 as a German Tabletop Magazine will exclusively publish him painted in their December issue.

Well, I think I had once mentioned, that I was about to build a 3-D-terrain for the crypt of the chapter keep on Barbarossa IV.

 

I have build some basic elements from plaster mold pieces. The stones have been glued onto a softcard foam board.

 

Tomorrow I´ll add the last missing parts and then smoothen and cleanse these elements. After that I´ll make rubber molds for resina casting of them. I really don´t like the idea of casting any more single bricks. NO WAY!!!

 

5kg of resina are waiting to become my new deluxe terrain. The idea is to make 4 elements of 24x24 inch each. They can be combined to create a nice Crypt terrain and then it will be time for more Space Hulk/ Mordheim/ Boarding Action games. I´m looking so much forward to that. I´ll keep you updated...

 

Here are the pix...

Having shot many photos of my crusade for the upcoming article in the Tabletop Insider magazine, I thought it might be a good chance to share little bit more scenic shot of my some of my Templars. Really, the force has with about 5000 points and about 100 infantry become far to extensive for serious armywide photos... well, hope you like this...

Hello Brother Matt,

 

I'm new here, and your crusade is something like the most beautifull Templar's army that I have ever see !

If I wasn't a Templar player, I should certainly become one after seen your work.

 

I think I will "steal" you some ideas, your army is a great source of inspiration ! I will try some of your tuto, like the one about the OSL effect for the optics !

Work in Progress...

 

One of the 5 Assault Termi Brethren I´m currently working on. All squad members now have about this status of being halfway painted. From now on I´ll finish the squad one by one. So make sure to have a look here from time to time as heavy steps are heading your way :-)

Expect him to be ready for service on Friday... :-)

 

 

Assault Terminator No. 3 is now ready to join his brethren. I hope, that everything works well so that I can finish and present No. 5 tomorrow. For the next few days, I´d like to finish that squad (means 3 more Termies to be painted!) and Terminator Chaplain Hektor, so that I can take the last few pictures for my army presentation in Tabletop Insider #7 by the end of next week.

Well from the mid of November onwards, my Templars will grow a little bit slower, as I´, going to paint my small tournament army of Khorne Demons then for a change. But I won´t stop painting my Templars, just reduce the amount of time spent for about 50%...

Expect the next one to be finished tomorrow in the morning... hopefully!

The Landraider is still changing holy oils, meaning: waiting for an airbrush session, but first I´ll finish these 6 Terminators (so two more to come), paint my Termi Chaplain and a Forgeworld BT Ven Dread. So by the end of the coming week :D I´ll think about the winter-phase of the project. Most likely vehicles (including the Land Raider)... We´ll see...

Nice tabard-sculpts you've got there, they make the Terminators pop! What I really like is how plain the armour actually is and how great your paintjob looks on it! Oh, and the bases are the same. Plain, simple, yet they add a great feeling to the miniature. In other words: perfect.

 

Those are probably the best Templars I've ever seen. Are they on a display(in a GW for example) where you live? If so, then I'll have to pay Franken a visit. :D
