Acebaur Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Firepower has a very good point. Yet we are straying off topic. This thread is for discussing what bitz (both GW and not) are available to help make unique and awesome looking Templars. Speaking of which, I put the skull helms for custom chaplains in the fist post.

Sete Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That's not their job. Or at least, customer service's job, if that's the department you emailed. You bought a box with clearly listed parts. If those parts are absent or damaged or not as advertised, then it's their job to fix it. Otherwise, it's not their prerogative. The decision to package Templars as an upgrade rather than a squad is made by someone else. I can't call up customer support and demand that they make my Sisters into plastic, now can I? Or tell them to change their prices, or give us back our own dex? Yes our current state of affairs sucks, but giving some poor shmuck in customer service a hard time won't change a thing. Getting mad at them for offering you free stuff after the fact, when there wasn't actually anything wrong with the kit you bought, is even more ludicrous. These outbursts pop up all the time. "Hey guys, let's sign a petition! Let's send a bunch of e-mails! Let's have a sit in at Quiznos!" They don't work. They won't ever work. Giving a clerk in customer service 30 minutes of annoyance isn't going to help or change anything. Well then give me kirby phone number. ;) Its costumer service, and im a costumer complaining simple as that. Im not asking for a full range of plastic minis, just an update to a sprue that currently does not fit properly on the product its advertise to be used on. But ok we are straying off topic and i will continue this on my own.

Firepower Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hm. Has anyone tried those armorcast decals? I'm looking at 20 Scout arms right now, all with nice smooth bone colored shoulder pads, and dreading the inevitable free-handing. But it's not exactly easy to tell what size those crosses are from just a picture of the sheet :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/4/#findComment-3927855 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only really worth considering if you plan to use all the other decals on there, and there's enough for a pretty large crusade...

You see those giant ass crosses on my Storm Eagle? Those are FW.

Marshal Reinhard Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Oh I agree, I got one early. 150+ miniatures later, i still have quite a few left. I just imagine it wouldn't be quite as usefull if i had gotten it now (unless i just left a lot of blank spaces) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/4/#findComment-3928037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I generally prefer my freehanding. But 20 or so tiny tiny crosses for a bunch of meat shields, I'd gladly pay $6 to avoid that. Hrng...

Giving a clerk in customer service 30 minutes of annoyance isn't going to help or change anything. I can't like this post enough. Seriously, don't give customer service a hard time. No amount of complaints will ever be heard in the board-rooms where the real decision making power lies. Chances are there exists no possible avenue of escalation that will ever reach anyone you would want to know about your suggestion for a change to the product. The best you can do if you want an update to the BT sprue, or something similar, is to somehow popularise BT to the point where the higher-ups decide they need their own models to meet enough of the demand to make a decent profit. They only care if caring makes them money. Minor costs like taking up the time of CSAs doesn't even register with them. If you want to make a change, then you need to start marketing BTs on behalf of GW.

deathspectersgt7 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The Armorcast decals are sized for shields ordered the gold chalice and are to big for pads.

Sete Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Well then lets keep buying dark angels and grey knights and convert them, that sure helps our cause. I had written a lot more but I had a bad day and don't want to bring my foul mood to the thread so lets leave it like this.

Acebaur Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Was really hoping to get some new decals since I plan on rebuilding my crusade, might actually wait a bit now Well the basic GW one will still get you by and there is always the upgrade kit with raised pads.

Sete Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 How about using guard models as neophytes? I got a box full of guard that I wont use. Might aswell grab a couple and paint them black.

Marshal Mattias Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I always envisioned a crusade as growing over time with requisitioned troops, or just zealous types tagging along. While true neophytes would be in their crusader squads, maybe some local PDF would do some recon work for the Templars? I would stick a bunch of guardsmen in a landspeeder storm and play them as scouts.

Ciler Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The FW decal sheet may come back though. It's not like they've terminated their BT range altogether.
