Brother Uriel Sanguis Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Amen, Idlem! Ironically, not one unit in my small Crusade has a de-helmeted soldier. It just looks odd to me, but when they have a helmet on it puts a more grim look into a Templar. It kind of works that same way with a chainsword, might as well have two chainswords while you're at it. :33 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244871-montgisard-crusade/page/2/#findComment-3046590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Brother Samuel. He may or may not be inspired by a man who is tired of snakes on his plane. >.> http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s720x720/561208_10100533355787691_17006873_47659222_959337345_n.jpg I like the idea of a grizzled vet staying in the ranks of the scouts like Telion. Since that's not how Templars work, Samuel may just be one bad ass Neophyte with a not so legal loadout, or maybe I could make his fluff is that he's Samuel the Repentant, and he has to earn his way back into the ranks of the initiates. By punching things. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244871-montgisard-crusade/page/2/#findComment-3047222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Sword Brother Immortalis http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/472211_10100561858068891_17006873_47770853_1154788857_o.jpg Immortalis was granted his name in honor of his actions in the First Montgisard Crusade. He carries a relic from the first crusade, the banner recovered from Temples on Arsuf. Along with Dyrnwyn, the pair are two of the few surviving artifacts recovered by the first Crusade. Immortalis, during the First Crusade's miraculous victory, stood unbroken against the hordes of Orks who sought the destruction of the holy banner. By the time the arrival of Bastion armed with Dyrnwyn, Immortalis' brothers found him standing resolute, holding aloft the sacred banner over a mountain of corpses. With the launch of the second Crusade, Immortalis was the only choice in who would carry the honor of the Crusade's standard.

Idlem Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 New pictures. Most of these guys are from our crusade expansion. I hate the freaking red tint to some of them, but my phone does what it wants... http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s720x720/532351_10100640251732361_1157100394_n.jpg http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/487245_10100640251577671_1385700482_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/561191_10100640251378071_879062274_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/309385_10100640251427971_1023825563_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/529641_10100640251467891_1879420767_n.jpg I know my poor scouts aren't legal. They were a gift however so I figured they needed a good paint of Templar anyway.

Idlem Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Working on a guy and need some ideas for a concept. I'm not sure if I wanna make -another- Marshall, or have this be a Terminator Chaplain. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/293886_10100644273627451_2112645066_n.jpg Now, as you see this is the work I have so far. This is my concept. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/380677_10100644273672361_308281348_n.jpg I have a -strong- Thunder-hammer Storm Shield presence. As such, I really, really like the idea of doing the same for my Terminator. I have no lightning claws in my army save for a few hold out models. Going to greenstuff the bottom Aquila off into his tabard and might place a cape on his back. Oh! I also can make a storm bolter powerfist out of some pieces too. So that maybe an idea... So I dunno, ideas would be helpful for figuring out what I wanna do to finish him.

Sir_Isenhar Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Use a big shield for him , The FW templar Storm shields or get some from Scibor Mini's He is a big model so the normal GW shield is not going to look nice IMO.... As for his weapon maybe you can magnetize them to swap.

Idlem Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've got all these Rhino doors from the upgrade box that I think I may file down and try to make a shield out of. Unfortunately, the only terminator arms I have are Lightning Claws, so I have to figure out how I wanna move on with his arms from here...

Idlem Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 More work. The orange is some card stock my wife graciously donated for the cause. Using it for a foundation of the greenstuff work I'll be doing later. http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/622071_10100646258454841_1285750530_o.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/621212_10100646258205341_364062536_o.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244871-montgisard-crusade/page/2/#findComment-3130431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Nice-looking soldiers, looks like your Crusade is well on its way! The marshal/chaplain seems to be off to a good start as well. Interesting idea using the Rhino door as a shield. Ironically, not one unit in my small Crusade has a de-helmeted soldier. It just looks odd to me, but when they have a helmet on it puts a more grim look into a Templar. Heh. Personally as much I like how Power Armor looks, I actually don't like Space Marine troop helmets much, whether "vanilla" or the BT variety. Mark IV helmets were cool, but that doesn't help much with current figures.

Marshall Crimor Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I love the rhino door filed down for the terminator shield. The size of the shield suggests that the model is going to be tough to kill. I am hoping to see a thunder hammer that is equally imposing in your next post. Keep up the good work.

Idlem Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Working to make it look like a cross between a Crozius Arcanum and a Thunder Hammer. Pretty sure he's going to become a Chaplain now, who may not have the most optimal loadout, but will be hard to kill. I've always gone with what looks cooler more than what's the best at min/maxing.

Idlem Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 ....and a finished Chaplain in terminator armor with either a really badass Crozius or Thunderhammer! http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/306427_10100656382316541_1456662654_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/289050_10100656382536101_1421407792_o.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244871-montgisard-crusade/page/2/#findComment-3139959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
