Void Knights (DIY Chapter)

[Chronowraith]

So I've taken a bit of a sabbatical from power armor the last 4ish years after completing my Iron Snakes army.  Ever since that I've talked to friends about wanting to run a Crusade army styled after the Black Templars.  I was always reticent to dive into the project due to the age of the codex.  I didn't want to make a big army only to have units invalidated.  So I played around with color scheme, wrote down some background, and otherwise kept it on the backburner.

 

Now that Codex: Space Marines is looming and the rumors placing the Black Templars in the basic book have all but been confirmed, I'm starting to pull everything back out and gear up to dive back into power army.

 

So without further rhetoric... Here are the test paints I've done so far.  (I still have to base these but I'm uncertain if that will happen since they are test models after all)

 

Initiate (Crusader Squad) (yes, I know the backpack colors are wrong)

 

Sword Brother (Vanguard Veteran)

 

Terminator Chaplain

 

Eventually I plan to create both a WIP and a Liber Astartes Thread.  I'll update this post to include the links to those threads when I create them.

OH MY GAWD

 

THEY ARE EMPERORRRRSS CHILDREN...

but all joke aside I always enjoy a Terminator Chaplain I still think it is the best model GW has ever done

Really digging the purple/black/yellow colour scheme and the hard edge hilighting (is that what it's called? not up on painting terminology) on the Black-purple of the Initiate. Would love to see more!

@Capitano  - You know... I had never considered how close the color scheme is to pre-heresy Emperor's Children.  That being said, the Termi-Chaplain is definitely one of my favorite Space Marine figures.

 

@Jupiter Forge - Thanks!  I'm just waiting on the Space Marine book to drop before I move forward with more Void Knights projects.  There will be more!
