Acebaur Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Here is a lineup up heads. They are a little narrower than the stock ones but not much. Especially next to the knight style helms. I threw on a couple of FW HH helms too, one is Templar Brethren, and the other is a UM HH head. (sorry for the slightly blurry photo) http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k48/Acebaur/40K/20170226_163600_zpsw7zun8fq.jpg Here is the torso and a tabard. While they are all similar to the molded on ones that GW produces for the sternguard, you can easily fill in the gap to make it more like a full tabard. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k48/Acebaur/40K/20170226_163616_zpskziipavs.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/8/#findComment-4666971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewChristlieb Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks Ace, I think I'll be ordering a squad of those and some of their Neophyte bits now seeing how they look. The details seem to be really crisp and I don't see any noticeable defects in the pictures there.

The details rival GW, especially on the tabard bottoms and shields.

SWORD BROTHER RYAN Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 The FW decal sheet may come back though. It's not like they've terminated their BT range altogether. After repeated requests to FW to bring back the transfer sheet, I have been notified that this is an impossibility due to the fact that it didn't sell well. I'm bummed because I was deployed at the time, and by the time I got back, it was gone. Does anyone know of another decal maker that does the Maltese Cross well in black for Neophyte/Initiate shoulder pads? Also, can someone post a link for Lances? I had been out of the hobby until recently, so ANY help or advice is great.

JAG Templar Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 This company does Maltese crosses and also custom decals http://www.fallouthobbies.com/decals I haven't used them so can't vouch for quality - still rationing out my FW sheet.

I had read here somewhere else on this thread that these don't fit the shoulder pads of the Initiate/Neophyte, being too large. Have you worked with these decals?

TheOneTrueZon Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Actually I have the armorcast decals. There are three sizes on the sheet. The largest is vehicle sized, the others fit on shoulder pads. I'm doing a run of pics for various threads soon, I'll get some of the sheet with some measurements if that's helpful Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/8/#findComment-4702689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWORD BROTHER RYAN Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Okay, that is enough to convince me! Beautiful artwork on those models BTW! Looks like Armorcast it is then! I was impressed with the black w/ red borders. If it will fit a knee pad, I'm sure I can accommodate it on Neophyte shoulders. Thank you so much Brother!

JAG Templar Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I just bought a couple of sheets, mainly because I've run out of the Neophyte sized black crosses on my FW sheet. Haven't used any but they seem pretty good. My only gripe was postage costs to New Zealand were extremely expensive, more than the product itself. I'm used to that sort of thing though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/8/#findComment-4718150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWORD BROTHER RYAN Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Several of us use Bretonnian lances which look great especially on bikes. Okay, stupid question to follow: Where can I find these "Bretonnians" that I keep hearing so much about? I've seen a LOT of conversion work talking about their bits, but I have no idea where to look.

Okay, stupid question to follow: Where can I find these "Bretonnians" that I keep hearing so much about? I've seen a LOT of conversion work talking about their bits, but I have no idea where to look. Well Bretonnia was an army from WHFB, but they got squatted when GW changed over to AoS. So their stuff got discontinued and now the only way to find it is to scour ebay and the like for the old kits/bitz. Not exactly the best way to get what you are looking for, but that's what we have to work with unfortunately. How many lances did you need?

SydonianDragoon404 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If power lances are still an option in 8th edition, I'm going to need a pair of them. I'm going to wait until the rules are out to make that decision, bikers with lances might not even be possible in the next edition.
