Felkor Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hello Bretheren ! I’m new here ! French Templar in fact. So please apologize my english, i’m not very fluent, i’m going to make some efforts ! I’ve discovered this forum by traveling on the warp –even if I’ve already know Bolter & Chainswords. I found this forum very nice, and the most of the topics very interesting, with a lot of passionate debates. I told myself : there is a place to be ! So I’m in. I played at WH40k since 9 years now. I’m a bad painter, and very slow ! But I love make a lot of convertions. And the Templars have a very nice design and the heraldic « talks to me ». I think I have something like 3k points, only with infantry (don’t have any tank for the moment). I’m not a competitive player –never played in tornament, only with friends, for the Emperor ! I love close combat, assault terminator squad, Black tide, and co ! But i’ve don’t create a new thread only to show you my bad english. I’ve some pictures I would share with you, about my current conversions. Any feedback is welcome ! +++ My assault squad +++ Firstly, I will present you my assault squad ! Based on the models of the Veteran Assault Squad, using arms of the old GK Terminators, and the Mechanical Wings from Micro Art Studio. The painting is in progress. The armour will be a little darker. Details in bronze, and some black and white heraldic ! Some details on different squad members : Right here ! (Unpainted version). +++ Assault squad leader +++ There is my lovely friend, my assault squad leader : You should recognize the Nightbringer dress ! Some chains, some GK bitz (new set), and greenstuff ;) Bikers ? Hell no ! If there is a design I didn’t love on the marines, it's the assault bike. I mean, for the other chapters, yeah ok, it’s fine. But we are Templar ! We are knight ! Where are our proud steeds ? I was a bit jealous of the SW with the marines on wolves. So I decided to create the same unit for the templars… but on horses ! The full squad, unpainted : I use the Chaos Knight of Battle, the new GK templar set, Spear from battle (Empire) with swab, some modelism chains, FW shields and shoulders, and Templar bitz. I’ve started the paint : Still in progress, too. The armour should be a lot darker. These pictures are quite old, I will make new this week-end, on Terminators and Marshalls ;) ! Hope you enjoy, don’t hesitate to give me feedback, critics and advices ! The Emperor is our shield and protector !

Bloodcrusade Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 The full squad, unpainted : I use the Chaos Knight of Battle, the new GK templar set, Spear from battle (Empire) with swab, some modelism chains, FW shields and shoulders, and Templar bitz. HA!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And everyone said it was stupid to want cavalry in our new codex! :P One point Cavalry. Freakin sweet ass Terminator Cavalry dude; excellent modeling and kitbashing. Looks very knightly with the termy bodies and the custom lances, very, very nice job man. Can't wait to see more of your Crusade Brother. Now get those new pics up so we can appreciate!

Commendator Arn Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Though I don't like templars on horses, these lances really rock! If you don't mind I'll try something similar with my lance-bikers. Beautiful paintjob on the assault squad, but a bit monochromatic - try to add an eye-catcher. Which part of France are you from?

Chaplain Pelagius Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Bienvenue à la Croisade Eternelle! J'adore vos conversions ... même si je ne suis pas habituellement un fan d'ailes sur Templiers, je pense que vous avez fait un travail vraiment bien ici. Et ce modèle de personnage est SPECTACULAIRE! Les modèles de cavalerie, ainsi, sont brillants. J'espère que vous ne me dérange pas si je vole l'idée de mon "compte-comme Thunderwolf Cavalerie" armée? Toutes mes excuses si mon français est un peu hors ... J'utilise Google Translate. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240588-french-crusade/#findComment-2904620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felkor Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks for your reply ! @Bloodcrusade : Thank you very much ! The harder now is the paint, and I fear this part ;-) More to come soon I hope ! @Commendator Arn : Absolutly not ! For more details about the conception : * Hand and back of the spear comes from battle bitz (empire I though, not sure). * The main part is done with this * The stormbolter is done using these of the GK pastic set. * The "power field generator" comes from combat blade of the GK set * The "blade" of the spear => DA blade. * And a wire between the guard and the power field generator ! I recently found these GunGlaives on MaxMini, could be sweet too ! Maybe one day I will use them for a marshall on horse ! The assault squad is not finished yet. I've only done the first application ! I dream to perform a kind of red OSL for the optics. And I am in the south of Paris in fact. @Chaplain Pelagius : Of course ! By the way, I used them using the same rule of the thunderwolf (with a higher price). But they wear Power Spear and stormshield. Power Spear : Count as Power Fist, but hit with initiative in the first round (if they charge), with stormbolter. I only play them between friends, of course :( And don't bother you to use Google translate, if it is not sooo easy for me to write in english, no problem for the comprehension ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240588-french-crusade/#findComment-2904672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commendator Arn Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Wow, thanks for the tutorial Regarding the OSL I can recommend mad matts Barbarossa crusade. He even wrote a small tut on red glowing eyes (OSL templar eyes OSL Templar Augen - don't be afraid of the German - you'll get the idea quite easy.) To sad, Paris is still some 400km away - to far for a quick painting jam :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240588-french-crusade/#findComment-2904709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felkor Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 (Btw i've familly near Strasbourg, so maybe one day ;) ) Hell yeah, i've see the topic of the Barbarossa crusade.. very impressive job. I'm fan ! And matt will be a great source of inspiration for me, I think. Thank you for the OSL tuto, I will try this week-end. And the picture of another WIP (my marshall) : (other side) And a little teasing, but this one is a very long term project, I didn't expect finish him until few weeks, I'm waiting for parts ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240588-french-crusade/#findComment-2905114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kisada Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I wanna use those Templars on horses as bikers so bad! I just don't know if I'll pull off the conversion as well as you. Was planning on buying a DA battle force for the bikes and landspeeder but I think you've changed my mind ... Gotta do some planning!

Lautris Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Welcome to our world, Brother! I'm tempted to type in French but as this is mainly an English-speaking forum (I say "mainly" because sometimes it's not so clear!), I'll write in English to show you that your English is much better than mine! Fantastic conversion jobs, brother: really great. Don't forget we've got a "Gallery" section here too, so don't hesitate to post your pics there as well. I'm sure that it will inspire a lot of people, including me! I'm in the north of France, by the way, not far from Cambrai (about an hour's drive south of Lille)... but a PSG fan for many years.

Highlordell Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 All I can say is...wow. I was going to pick a specific unit and highlight why I thought it was good, but they're are all so strong. Like someone else had said, these are once in a life-time conversions, if you don't think you can paint them good enough (i don't see why you can't) PLEASE pay someone to paint them for you in a commission, if a true expert takes his time painting them, they will look mind-blowing.

Felkor Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ow, a lot of answers here ! Thank you a lot ! Indeed, these Wings come from Micro Art Studio, and chain from some model boat store. So, the result of my week-end. No more conversions, but a bit of paint ! I've performed the only thing I know : use Washes :) Chapelain & Cenobites. No conversions here, the original stuff is perfect ! I need to finish the backpack of the chapi. And perform an OSL o the optics of the chapi but... I doesn't need to try on his head ! I've experimented on an other head... catastrophic result... need more practice ! And a little progression on my assault squad leader : Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240588-french-crusade/#findComment-2907700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th!rdeye Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Great job on the conversions. The TermiCav is insane! And Grimaldus looks great! Gritty yet clean.

Norbus Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 What metallic color is the base for your "black metal." Boltgun metal, something lighter like chainmail? Because I am definatley doing this for my EC. I looks fantastic!
