Marshal Bertrand Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Seem's good Brother, Emperor is proud of your dedication, none shall find you wanting. Awesome model's, and also a good number of models :D I wish I had that many to paint, especially the Land Raider, very eager to it done. Also what is that on the first backpack? Lord bless.

Andhil Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Nice models. I've always liked that Chaplain model. Sadly I already own 3, and don't need more. Land Raiders on the other hand! Judging from the model, you've got yourself a standard LR? With FW doors, offcourse! You can't go wrong with the Emperor's Champion. Ever. (he's mandatory. ) I do like the excessive amount of Crosses you put on the Rhino! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Templar Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Thank you brothers! Marshal Bertrand, the first backpack is for a las cannon. Andhill, you can never have enough crosses on everything!! Will be posting updates tomorrow. The Emperor protects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'm very eager to see your treatment on your chaplain. You do your chapter proud with your dedication. Onwards brother! P.S. I totally dig your sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Templar Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Update time already! I began painting as soon as I made my vow, and a number of these have been sitting on my desk finished for a week or so. First up, the Crusader squad with its Rhino transport. Next, the Vindicator. I feel I could do more on the dozer blade/shield, but for now it is finished. Don't think it would suit hazard stripes. And last up, the Reclusiarch, which I just finished this afternoon. Really pleased with how he turned out. I'll get the Emperors Champion finished tomorrow, and then i've got a few days off work, so I can probably complete the Land Raider, and then think on my next vow. For Sigismund, and the Eternal Crusade Brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Nice going! I'm loving those Crusaders. Do you use the Transfer sheet on the shoulder pads? If so, tell me your secret! The Dozer blade needs a huge slogan on it, preferably something which glorifies the Templars or the Emperor, or denounces your opponents as Heretics, witches or Unclean...people...things...xenos...whatever. Loving the clean detail work on the Chaplain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Templar Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Andhil, thanks Brother. As for the shoulder pads, they're Forgeworld decals. I put down a layer of gloss varnish first, and leave to thoroughly dry. I use Micro Sol and Micro Set when applying the decal. It does make them very fragile, so care needs to be taken. Once dry, I apply another coat of gloss varnish to give it a bit of protection. There, not a secret anymore, but don't tell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Scipio Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Very, very good looking. Only thing is that I find the highlight on the scrolls a bit hard, not bad, but a bit too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krikey Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Excellent work with the decals. I've tried applying them, but I must have some sort of psychological block -- I can never get them to look as nice! ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the clean detail work on the Chaplain. Andhil, if I were to use the crosses on the transfer sheet - and I'm not saying I do! Hjolda! - and I didn't use solvent, I'd take my Exacto knife and cut slits in the transfer between all of the arms on the cross before soaking it. I'll betcha you won't have any problem gettin' 'em to sit really purty on them curved shoulder pads after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytchdarius Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nicely done. Still trying to get started on mine. Can't wait to see the rest of yours done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Templar Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Again, thank you for the comments Brothers. Land raider has most of the detail colours blocked out, but not much time for anything else as I had a few games yesterday instead. Two wins and a loss, so not a bad day, even if I lost to Tau on the last game, dirty xenos. Pictures tomorrow of the LR and the finished EC.

Dorns Templar Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Greetings again Brothers. Thank you all for your comments and ongoing support. First up tonight, pictures of my finished Emperors Champion. This is just the standard model as I plan on taking my Templars to Throne of Skulls in a few weeks, and if they make a model for a codex entry, you're supposed to use it! And to round off todays work, a WIP progress photo of my land raider, the last model in my first vow. Huzzah! So, tomorrow I should get the bulk of the LR finished, and then its on to decals. C&C as always Brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Again, I am amazed at how clean that looks. The Front hatch on that LR looks amazing. You are forcing me to repeat myself when I say that your EC's looks great, and very cleanly done. And, once again, I eagerly await your next pictures. You do the Templars proud, Brother! Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krikey Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Keep the photos coming. These look great. Clean models are very inspiring (a little too much so -- I have an exam next week, but after looking at pics on the BT forums, all I want to do is get to work on my vow). Nice choice on the banners hanging at the front sides of the LRC, btw -- they match one another in style, but I notice you have them both blowing slightly back as if the LRC is in motion. ~K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Some pretty sweet stuff here. I do enjoy the cartoony style of flat, unblended colors like what you've done on the Champ's tabard and the seals. The lascannon's coils came out quite well too.But skipping all the edge highlighting on infantry models strikes me as cheating when it comes to Templars There's the unfortunate problem of your black paint touch ups on the vehicles, particularly the side shot of the Raider. Unfortunately the Chaos Black paint is a shade different than the Primer, so with a certain lighting it really stands out when you used the former on top of the latter I've always hated that, especially because it stands out like a sore thumb when used to clean up the edging on vehicles.

Dorns Templar Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks Brothers for all your comments. Andhil - should have a photo of the LR tomorrow. Krikey - thanks, and good look with the exams. Firepower - I do a subtle edge highlight on the majority of the figure, but it doesn't show very well in the photos. I not a big fan of heavy edge highlighting, and my hands arent as steady as they once were lol. As for the black, I ran out of chaos black spray and used some army painter black instead. I don't like the shineyness, and its a pain to paint over with chaos black. As for the touch-ups, I assume you're referring to the front panels. These were going to be off-white, but I've decided to leave them black, and have painted them in since the photo was taken. Thanks for looking guys.

Andhil Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've never liked the look of most highlighting I've seen. Some guys do amazing work, and then it looks awesome, but imo it needs to be done perfectly, or it'll look silly. And I, granted, am lazy bum who doesn't want to spend hours of highlighting with 3 different tones of grey. I am not rich in money or time, so I just spend what little I have of the latter in my detail work. But that's just my humble opinion. I can't wait for your LR picture, Brother longfang!

Honda Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Judging by how well your scripting is done, I'm hoping some day my hand gets to be as shaky as your. I like what I see. A lot. I also very much like your EC. The classic sculpting on the figure doesn't seem to beg for too much attention. I also like how you did your sword. Onwards Brother!

Dorns Templar Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Greeting everyone. Today I present my finished Land Raider, and with it the completion of my first vow! So, what to do next? Well i've got a Terminator command squad on my desk, and a TDA Marshal WIP awaiting a few bits I ordered, so it looks like those and maybe my contemptor. Keep checking in Brothers, and thanks again for the support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Nice work, Brother! It's good to see some completions drop in. Keep up the good work! God, that Land Raider looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
