Mordikyle Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hey gents, My name is Kyle, I'm Canadian, and I've been playing 40k for almost 12 years on and off. 3 years of that time has been spent dutifully Marshalling my forces of Templars and they have now become my only army. I got my hands on some used drop pods to deliver my forces to the field. Also bought up a brand new airbrush. Here are those exploits as well as a few others! Please help me on my crusade to make my army do the Templars justice on the table top! Please critique! I'm a member and moderator over at Darkshard.ca (A Northern Ontario, Canada gaming forum) I've occasionally lurked here but would like to participate! I also co-operate a local Tournament over here Rumble in the North Here we go (Pic Heavy) Drop Pods! http://i.gyazo.com/cb6f57687bda01ce37fd52b963013e49.png http://i.gyazo.com/640e0de4ec2d70a2ac64d63af05467d2.png http://i.gyazo.com/bb66ab726aa7cb24faa8f9ecc9243f15.png Beginning the weathering http://i.gyazo.com/3ea9ef21ee66413507cca252f1e3f9d3.png Some Sternguard I finished on the side (LOVE these new models!) http://i.gyazo.com/44d4fe51b7a5055215442bb98e93f439.png http://i.gyazo.com/bb798a664c29adc716268eff8e53ace9.png http://i.gyazo.com/133c30f5951e7976d934b9dfe832079c.png Back to the stripes http://i.gyazo.com/471130f3d74ca38e3fb7f65068d0f3e0.png http://i.gyazo.com/6235302116a209538a2db39e20fa2f40.png Cameo of my Storm Raven with Aquila freehands! http://i.gyazo.com/9b7626cac88f4f0cff4b1e5b72b8bf00.png I'll mention the gear I use.

Firepower Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I see much potential in you, young Snow-Marshal. With prudent paddlin's, you will go on to do great things. :D Your crusade is coming along pretty nicely. There's a long way to go on weathering those Pods, yes? Of anything in a Space Marine army, those should be banged up most of all. Chipping/scorching along the edges in particular, rather than simply big chunks out of the flat panels. I am noticing a very disappointing preponderance of guns and a startling lack of swords... How is the Spirit? I've eyed the Krome several times in those blessed moments when I actually had cash to burn.

Mordikyle Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Welcome and awesome pics! Excellent crusade brother! Many Thanks! It is good to know there are other Marshals out there!

How is the Spirit? I've eyed the Krome several times in those blessed moments when I actually had cash to burn. Our location on the galactic map does seclude us from the rest. This is true. I assure you there is no shortage of the Emperors enemies to put to the sword here though! The pods are still being seen to! (WIP) As for the lack of firepower, I'll allow a tour of the hangar bays of my most glorious barge the "BattleFoam Class - PACK1520" since your a fellow Templar.

(Some stuff may be WIP I'm notorious for not finishing. I have 2 new cans of varnish not used LOL) Given that the Spirit is my first Airbrush I can say that it has been a pleasure to learn with. Seems forgiving! Easy to clean. The 8L of air @ 20psi coming out a 0.2mm Orifice means I rarely hear it running.

Firepower Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I didn't say you lacked firepower, I said there were too many guns, and not enough swords ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299833-hail-brothers-a-new-marshal-takes-up-the-crusade-pics/#findComment-3874813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordikyle Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 I didn't say you lacked firepower, I said there were too many guns, and not enough swords Ahh my bad misunderstood! Of course no Templar army is complete without blessed chainswords wielded by promising initiates and neophytes. What better tool to find out what the insides of all the galaxies most foul Xenos looks like. I've always been curious! 2 Crusader Squads and Assault Squad (All about to be repainted) Honor guard for Helbrecht. http://i.gyazo.com/74434da88ae1bea36652f8faee329449.png There is 10 more crusaders in a Simple Green Bath at the moment! Also have a 8 Man squad of Assault termies and 5 man squad of shooty Termies.

Marshal Reinhard Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Welcome to the Eternal Crusade, brother. Given the quality of what you've shown so far, I am expecting great things in this thread Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299833-hail-brothers-a-new-marshal-takes-up-the-crusade-pics/#findComment-3876529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Welcome, Brother! Any Templar is most welcome, especially when presenting such fine work. I personally love the head swap on Helbrecht, haven't seen many people use a different helmet-less head for the High Marshal, so it's a nice change, and the bearded head works well. Good find! I can only echo the rest, as to my expectations. This is truly a thread to keep an eye on.

Mordikyle Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hmm... Despite my disappointment in the broken pic, I'm always amused in those rare moments when I get to use that emoticon Seems to work for me still? Suffice to say there is the appropriate amount of swords that would befit a Templar force! (Actually, if there ever enough? lol) Welcome to the Eternal Crusade, brother. Given the quality of what you've shown so far, I am expecting great things in this thread Thanks m8, During the winters here we have lots of time to hide indoors and hobby! I see you found similar inspiration in the Asterioc Moloc model via your pic ;) Is it yours? Welcome, Brother! Any Templar is most welcome, especially when presenting such fine work. I personally love the head swap on Helbrecht, haven't seen many people use a different helmet-less head for the High Marshal, so it's a nice change, and the bearded head works well. Good find! I can only echo the rest, as to my expectations. This is truly a thread to keep an eye on. Appreciate it! The model is amazing and was a pleasure to paint. I hesitate to say it is ruined by the head it comes with but it definitely doesn't do the character justice imho. Now if we can only work on those rules! I find Helbrecht and Grimaldus akin to the old Ragnar space wolf. Just amazing characters that fall flat on the table top. ADB wrote Helsreach and thats one of my favorite novels in my entire collection.

Brother Talon Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Loving what you've done with your models so far! Welcome to the Eternal Crusade brother, glad to see another joining the fold. Your Helbrecht is amusing, mainly as the face reminds me of a younger Sean Connery. Now I want to hear him recite some of the High Marshall's lines.. thanks.

Marshal_Roujakis Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Welcome Brother Marshal and like the work done on your Crusade. I too have a few Drop Pods that are being worked on right now... and how much of a pain they are to paint nicely :D Just 1 question though... Helbrecht's backpack was awesome... why isn't he wearing it?
