sgtglenskovski Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 But on the topic of alternative bits, I wanted something slightly different for my BT honor guard. I suck at green stuff and my bitz box is nearly empty so I went for a few of these: http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/data/a-new/legs%20and%20arms/robed-legs-800x500.jpg http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/data/a-new/torsos/robed-torsos-800x500.jpg http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/data/a-new/coaks_loincloths/regal-cloak-800x500.jpg These are from Anvil Industries, Exo-Lord cloaks, robed legs and robedrobed torsos. Quality is very good, not sure of exact plastic makeup but feels softer than standard gw plastic. I treated them as you would finecast and all turned out well. When I get back from work today I'll post a few pics of the finished products. I would add that the scale is ever so slightly off, they are a couple of mm shorter than standard marines. Not a problem for me and adding packs to the back of the cloaks, even with the existing gap for them is a massive ball ache. Needed significant cutting.

Ciler Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I have a question. Has anyone been able to source decent alternatives for templar shoulder pads. I'm running out of them; my usual bitz shop hasn't had any in ages, and I can't afford a full sprue again.

Kisada Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Other sources for Templar type pads aren't necessarily more cost effective though. Like Scibor has some Templar pads but I think they may be pricier. Try another bits shop or eBay?

rexrapter1234 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Is there any alternative for Black Templar's Accessories?Like bolt pistol holsters.

Acebaur Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Is there any alternative for Black Templar's Accessories? Like bolt pistol holsters. There is a BT bolt pistol in holster on the upgrade sprue.

sockwithaticket Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hail brothers,I was skimming the Spellcrow November releases and noticed the following:Helmetshttp://www.spellcrow.com/templars-space-knights-helmets-p-452.htmlhttp://www.spellcrow.com/images/Space_Knights/TemplarsSpaceKnightsHelmets.jpgTorsoshttp://www.spellcrow.com/templars-space-knights-torsos-with-tabards-p-453.htmlhttp://www.spellcrow.com/images/Space_Knights/TemplarsSpaceKnightsTorsosWithTabards.jpgNeophyte Tabard Torsoshttp://www.spellcrow.com/scouts-torsos-with-tabards-p-450.htmlhttp://www.spellcrow.com/images/Space_Knights/ScoutsTorsosWithTabards.jpgThought some of you might appreciate the heads up.

sockwithaticket Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 They've got generic and robed legs plus separate tabards in their catalogue, but no Templar specific ones.

Arthanor Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I took a quick loot and their stuff looks nice, but there doesn't seem to be anything to mesh well with those torsos. So you have a tabard on your chest, but then nothing below the belt? Or you use robed legs? (which isn't right for tabards) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/6/#findComment-4574659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 As mentioned, they do sell tabard/loincloth bits that could be combined with generic legs (theirs or otherwise). Templar legs may come, they have dedicated Salamander, Wolf and Grey Knight ones.

tvih Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Looks pretty nice, especially the helmets... I've been trying to restrict using third-party bits though, only ones I do have are the Anvil cloaks.

Firepower Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I quite like the left head and the Neophyte torsos would be a nice change of pace, assuming they actually fit with SM Scout arms. Those things are a poor fit even on their intended torsos The Marine torsos seem rather mooshed though, very broad and squat.

Soldier of Dorn Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Like the heads quite a lot. Will definitely work well if I ever do some Templar terminators in my 30k army.

tvih Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Like the heads quite a lot. Will definitely work well if I ever do some Templar terminators in my 30k army. Hmmm... They WOULD make for quite fancy terminator helmets. I don't outright dislike Indomitus helmets for example, but they are my least favorite part about them. Then again, same goes for Tartaros :P 10 helmets would be just enough for my melee terminators + tartaros terminators, assuming I make the latter indeed templars.

Honda Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The Marine torsos seem rather mooshed though, very broad and squat. I.e "Burly". I really like the helmets as well and didn't think to use them on termies,. Thanx Psycho. The torsos I like as well because they are different and the most annoying part of adding tabards. I can see using those torsos and then just GS'ing the lower parts. That would work very well for me. Thanx, for the heads up on these.
