AndrewChristlieb Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wish the seller would let you know the sizes of the crosses. Yeah that would be nice. The person who posted them on FB left this photo to show the size: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/9/#findComment-4726686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stemplar Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I like that a lot. Also this: Heads. I like my guys to look older and more grizzled ... especially Vangaurd/Sternguard or Sword Brothers. These look cool: Norse Heads (I haven't used them ... so this ain't an endorsement, just I think they look great).

Eberious Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Those norse heads look great, the 3 to the left side would fit nicely I think. Thanks for pointing those out, rugged while not overly space wolf. Might pick up a pack, won't break the bank if they are no good(size wise).

AndrewChristlieb Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Holy axe hand dreadnought! Pretty cool, saw it on facebook. 3d printed, the plans are available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2347370 credit to Ivo Ilić who designed it and made the plans available.

Acebaur Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Honestly not that hard to convert your own. That's just a (albeit larger) BT axe head and a chain bit added. Still cool though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/9/#findComment-4760536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stemplar Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Chains! http://www.builders-in-scale.com/bis/parts-chain.html The 40 lpi is good for power armor weapon chains, the 27 good for TDA weapons, and the 15 or 16 good for dreadnoughts. You can also use even lower lpi for vehicles. I buy the black chain -- it has a surface ready for painting, so you can place it on miniatures already primed. ~K Thank the Emperor you posted this. I've been wondering this forever and now I know where to get them. I'll add it to the first post! Edit: added. Also how to you get them to stay put in the position you want them in? If you're still working on this: I've found painting the chain first (say, leadbelcher) stiffen it enough to work with. You can spot glue it either end after that and it should stay. I wrap it around arms and weapons and it's working really well.

Acebaur Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Alright, so my Shapeways Templar crosses arrived! So I wasted no time in cutting one off the sprue and..... Promptly lost it on the carpet around my modeling desk But then I got one onto a model. Initially when I got them in the box, I thought they'd be way to too small, but they are actually pretty damn near perfect. Here are some pics. http://i.imgur.com/zRTlVz6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/h5CAREs.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/9/#findComment-4809716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've ordered quite a few bits from Spellcrow, due to arrive today. If they are there tonight I'll take some pictures and compare them to the regular marines. Saw that question a few posts back :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291036-alternative-templar-bits/page/9/#findComment-4809979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBadger Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks, that looks great. I'm thinking prepainting them would give really clean lines. How hard would they be to cut to fit obscured shoulder pads like on heavy weapons arms?

Gerhard Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 My spellcrow bits have arrived. I'm quite happy with them, and they look good. Wondering how they handle getting painted but we'll see about that this weekend. I've taken a few pictures comparing the bits to regular marine bits, and they are pretty much 100% identical in size. The helmets are a bit thinner but that's because of how they are modelled.

Stemplar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Lances!! Anyone know where I can get lances (to use as power lances for my veteran bikers)? Without having to buy a full box of models I won't need.

Acebaur Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 You might be able to find some on Ebay from Bretonnian knights, but other than that you'll have to kitbash them together. I created a pretty sweet one from a GK lance and a power sword.

Kinda weird that there's something called a power lance available for Space Marine factions and it has some pretty good stats for a CCW and yet ... there aren't any.

Firepower Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Oh, cool, for those of us who can't paint the Heraldic cross on the shoulder pads Learn to. *idly slaps the Paddleum in his palm with a threatening disciplinary scowl* Anyway, those things look a touch too thick for my liking. But then I practice what I preach with the freehanding on half the shoulders anyway (as the ideas for individual heraldry steadily dwindle one model at a time).

Acebaur Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Tees would be way too big. I'd suggest getting some styrene tubing and then GS the handle bits or using bits from existing weapons.

AndrewChristlieb Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I made one with a length of sprue and some green stuff for one of the events here. It's not the prettiest, but it was cheap (free actually, my favorite form of cheap!) Sprue was a straight section shaved down to a rough spear with an xacto blade then inserted into my power drill and ran on high while holding it with a bit of sandpaper to get it smooth.
