Acebaur Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets disappointed when people don't use this. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110921051542/warhammer40k/images/thumb/4/49/Black_Templars_Insignia.jpg/250px-Black_Templars_Insignia.jpg I mean, cool art, but I HIGHLY doubt that was supposed to be a chaplain. Yeah, I prefer that layout as well, but I don't mind art that deviates from it, especially if it is only minor like the above. I generally use that layout but I've made some modifications because there is no display for Marshals, Castellans or Techmarines. So I've adopted the Chaplain one to instead be "Command" and all the command positions in my crusade bear the white on black.

Marshal_Roujakis Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I usually go Sword Brethren but with Gold as the trim or the standard Initiates with Gold for trim as well... Castellans have the Sword Brethren Color with Gold trim and Marshals have the Initiate color with gold trim. This is just to remind them of their ancestry from the IF. Techmarines have a layout as well, if you look at the 4th ed Techmarine then you'll see Black Cross, White Pads and Silver/Metal Trim.

This is just to remind them of their ancestry from the IF.I never thought to use the Sword Brethren w/ gold... I don't mind if people have fun with the shoulder pads as long as they are kept at least halfway looking like they should, or if they have one 'correct' shoulder. What bugs me the most is when people put regular initiate shoulders on terminators. I'll see an amazingly painted bunch of hammernators, and then i see the black on white cross, and it ruins the model for me. @Acebaur like this?

Acebaur Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 @Spedley: Yep, that's it. I like the look of it, it's different and looks great, but still stays within the old codex's set of color choices. I recently tried it out on one of my sternguard who has the command squad champion's shoulder pad(it's the one that looks layered) because it had no border to paint red I thought it would cool. It turned out great so I'm definitely going to keep doing it for command models Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292060-rare-and-cool-templar-art/page/4/#findComment-3815508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sincollector Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 It's funny. I'm the opposite of you guys. I've always found rigid adherence to the shoulder pad scheme to be very "Codex-like" and ignored it. I thought of it as a failure of designer imagination in the previous codex.

Marshal Mattias Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I follow the initiates/neophyte/chaplain bit, then basically every sergeant/veteran is the sword-brother red-on-black (including squad leaders - my crusade is rebuilding and the majority of my sword brethren are dispersed amongst the troops). Termies are due a re-paint and I haven't decided on them yet. HQs are varied, mixing colours and heraldry as befits their artificer/relic armour history. I'm not a fan of the red trim on white pads for assault etc, I think mine will stay black and white, save for their squad leader.

Hey remember some of us old timers painted our army when Codex Armageddon came out. Back in my day there was no red trim for assault squads. And Terminators had White Crosses. We were Black and White with no Squad markings AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY (young wippersnapper ) Not going to repaint my army just because a new codex comes out. Edit for seriousness I use white crosses and white helmets for command personnel (marshals, chaplains, Sword Brethren and command squad members). I started this based on the terminators having white helmets and crosses originally. As mentioned before this was sort of the scheme during the Codex Armaggedon codex when I first started my templar army. Never liked the red trim on assault guys. There is some old artwork which shows a guy or two with a red templar cross on each shoulder pad. I mix a few on those, on one pad, to show some type of honor a particular guy may have won. Mix them up between basic guys and sword brethren, don't use it too much. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8mng5M0VxzA/T3JmWx1lssI/AAAAAAAAB74/K91_5-w9Zs4/s400/warhammer_40000_3rd_edition.jpg Edited October 18, 2014 by Brother Mord T14, spedley13, Firepower and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292060-rare-and-cool-templar-art/page/4/#findComment-3824910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
