Black Templar 307th Comp. Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/TeamPhoto1.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/TeamPhoto2.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/TeamPhoto3.jpg So this is what I have done so far. Lots of BP&CC cause, you know, Templars. All of the BP/CC guys are converted Khorne Berserkers. The rest are standard Marines. Used Army Painter black primer, since it's the bast color of my army as well. So far they're just black blobs, but I'm gonna st art painting soon. I'm going to make them look like the Black Templar armor scheme from the Space Marine multiplayer. One shoulder with a logo, one blank white, white face plate. Gonna try a few different paint techniques and see what I like, I'm very much throwing :blush:: at the wall to see what sticks.

Black Templar 307th Comp. Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Just about every named character in my Crusade comes from 80's metal my champion is named Lee Vinzler which I twisted out of Motley Crue's drummer (Tommy Lee) and Lead singer, combind with Tron (Vince Neil, and Rinzler) , lol, I rolled off to see if my Marshall would be named after Eddie Van Halen, Ywingie Malmsteen or Michael Schenker. I had to resist the urge to paint my army red, black and white. I May do my vehicles that way. I needed some naming convention, and hair metal, a favorite genre, seemed as good as any. Their crusade badge is the Diver Down album cover, and thier ship is also called the Diver Down.

Black Templar 307th Comp. Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 So here are my first completed models. I don't know why the paint on the leather gloves and the metallics looks thin in the photos, must be the Badab Black and the light, because it doesn't look that way in real life. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/M_7_1.jpg The Completed EC, dry brushed some blood on the edge of the sword: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/EC_Right.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/EC_Front.jpg By Request, converted Zerkers. I didn't bother with backpacks, I subbed in Space Marine packs and shoulders as well. Everything else I scraped the Chaos off of and reclaimed in the name of the Emperor. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/Zerker2_right.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/Zerker2_Left.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/Zerker2_front.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/Zerker1_right.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b400/steeldragon1981/Blackie%20Templars/Zerker1_front.jpg If anyone has any ideas for the cloth bits, or anything else I'm all ears. These are my first minis. I'm very much playing with things and seeing what I like.
