Honda Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 For some reason this image struck me this morning while I was commenting on another thread. He went together pretty quick. It seems only appropriate that he be a Black Templar. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9346.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9351.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9345.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9347.jpg Merry Christmas everyone!

Tellos05 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Looking good so far. Nice posing however I think if you really want him to stand out as a templar maybe replace the chainsword with a power sword and have him holding it with both hands on the hilt and the blade pointing down? That way it'll seem like hes in prayer on being blessed by a chaplain. Just a thought mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Really nice posing there. What would be really awesome as a diorama would be to put him in a chapel of some kind with a procession of cenobytes and maybe a Chaplain approaching carrying the equipment of the Emperor's Champion, Black Sword, etc. Actually, the cenobyte with the Imperial eagle over his back would look very cool with the sword instead.

Tyrannicide Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 ^ If he reposed it, then he wouldn't be Tebow authentic! (Look up Tim Tebow taking a knee on google for ref.) I think he looks awesome. If you felt the need to sculpt one, a tabard wouldn't be out of place... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrvat Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 A very nice pose, I would only suggest maybe a head with a closed mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjabat Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I don't know, I personally like the open mouth - it makes him look like he is chanting the prayer, rather then just kneeling respectfully, and to me anyway, somehow more templar-like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonza Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 dynamic pose looking forward to seeing him painted. is he kneeling on an auspex? :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackpet Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Love it! And I agree with Darth Potato, a tabard would make him even more awesome ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDel Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 there should be some of his boys standing around, one of em loading a fresh mag, the other polishing a blade, and one staring at the tebower. everyone has their own rituals before the battle.

Honda Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Been thinking about the tabard and agree that it would be a good addition, so I'll give that an attempt. Also, a friend suggested that he should really be holding a melta bomb (i.e. football), which is probably historically accurate ;) , but I like the chainsword as is. So I think I'll just put on on the base near him. I probably ought to put a helmet on there as well. Suggestions as to helmet type? Also, I rather like the idea of some others standing around him. I'll have to give that some thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This warrior priest, converted a little, would make a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguine Marine Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 ^ Great idea Kierdale. You could replace the bare head with a metalic one, or a chaplains helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 @Kierdale: That's pretty awesome, thanx for the tip. ;) Here's the update with the tabarded Tebow... http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9366.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9365.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9363.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9362.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9359.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Black%20Templars/DSCN9356.jpg I can see where leaving off the backpack would make the tabarding exercise quite a bit easier, so in the event that I embark upon a crusade, I'll have to plan the logistics of that rather carefully. Anyway, we are back to cool clear skies, so I think I'll get him basecoated. This will be interesting as I don't think I've painted anything since June-July-ish.

Shadow Nugz Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'm enjoying the fact that not many people are getting the reference. Good looking pose but for reference: http://www.examiner.com/christian-athletes...fore-game-photo I've always liked the hand to head look. Also I think he would do well as a Ultramarine from the 6th company(blue and orange!) P.S. Go Broncos!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 He looks really good. Looking forward to seeing some paint on him. But...I just noticed, is that the grip of a bolter/weapon protruding from the bottom of his right hand? If so, better shave that off before painting.

Watcher in the Dark Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well...seeing as how my DIY will have the Broncos color scheme AND be from the planet Verden, NOW I have to steal this idea. Lol. Tim Tebow may have a long way to go before he's a great QB, but he makes an awesome Space Marine now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
