Montpup Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 High Marshal, Lord Wolfram Von Eisenberg, has called together the forces of 4 marshals for the undertaking of a crusade to retake the MacGregor System. Once a mighty industrial system it was lost to the Dark Apostle Zanrak of the Word Bearers almost a century ago. A Blood angel task force was dispatched a year ago to retake the system. While the blood angels made early progress, their advances where stopped by the apperance of tyranid vanguard creatures. Under the rule of the word bears a genestealer cult was established and is now large enough to start singing to the hive fleets. So with the first of the tyranids appearing the blood angels requested re-enforcements to which the Knights Hospatiller has responded. Marshal Luther unable to arrive at the Muster on time is collecting further re-re-enforcements http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...7261_844771.jpg a friend and i are about to embark on a massive city fight campagin we are in the early stages of building some impressive terrain pieces and i am currently working on getting all 14000 points full painted and based. i will countine to post pic's of battles and terrain as we advance. Please note that that my chapter is excaatly black templars but a crusade that split off and was finally recognised as a chapter in its own right, if this isn't the correct forum for this thread please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Veyross Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 holy snap thats alot of ..... EVERYTHING :P Its armies like that which get us in trouble with the inquisition for having too large a chapter. Am I correct in counting ten dreadnoughts??? That is an amazing collection of models. You have some great looking characters mixed throughout aswell. The only problem with having such a large collection is that each individual piece of work often doesnt get the attention it deserves when they are all set up together. I quite like the 5 story structure you've created aswell. Im looking forward to seeing what else you guys come up with for your city fight board. by the looks of things though it should have some great vertical play :D You have one heck of a task ahead painting all those models though. Emperor be with you brother. May I point out that the dark angels are currently running their "E Tenebrae Lux" painting competition. It could help provide some extra motivation to keep you painting (worked for me). Im sure the rest of the chapter would also appreciate your support in showing up the unforgiven in their own comp :P (though im unsure if you'd fall under our banner or be placed under liber astartes... Either way, its good fun all round :D ) looking forward to following your progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montpup Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 holy snap thats alot of ..... EVERYTHING :P Its armies like that which get us in trouble with the inquisition for having too large a chapter. haha being a different chapter works for both of us Inquisitorial emissary: damn you you have to many men Black templar Marshal: nope, werent ours, go talk to the Knights Hospatiller Inquisitorial emissary: aren't they a splinter force or yours Black templar marshal: not for the last 4000 years Inquisitorial emissary: damn Inquisitorial emissary travels to Knights Hospatiller Inquisitorial emissary: damn you you have to many men Knights Hospatiller marshal: are you sure? Inquisitorial emissary: of corse i'm sure Knights Hospatiller marshal: do you have any pictures of these "extra" men Inquisitorial emissary: ......no Knights Hospatiller marshal: how do you know they were ours, as we have no one there Inquisitorial emissary:..... they where black...... Knights Hospatiller marshal: get the hell off my battle barge before i throw you out the air lock thanks for the comments its nice to get feed back, as for 10 dreadnoughts i have 3 more from forge world on the way :D and while i would love to smack those silly dark angels around i'm pretty sure alot of my stuff wouldn't count as there is only 3 or 4 models which i hadn't already started before they issued the challenge. i'll check the rules on it anyway, i'm looking forward to showing you guys my land raider ares :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Richard Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I am impressed..after twenty some odd years of collecting I thought I had amassed a good representation of Templar. I shall follow this thread closely and can not wait to see your battle reports. Best wishes on your painting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to increase ppl replying I would recommend you host the pics on photobucket and provide a viewable link so lazy people like me can see them without needing to click! when my forgeworld stuff starts arriving (hopefully in bulk) i will start a new thread doing that thanks for the tip, i didnt do it orginally as i didn't want it to take ages to load the thread butpeople's comments are always helpful as for the calgar conversion i stole the idea off a guy who did calgar up as dorn, i reliesesd he doesn't actually have that much ultramarine symbols on his body and they where easy to remove or hide, i'm really pleased the way he has come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montpup Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Very nice work.
