Hi everyone, I said I'd post my new reinforcements today but I've been so excited with basing and moulding things that I have delayed putting anything up. I hope you all like what I've done!

Without further ado, here we go!

Note: I forgot my bitz box and I was going to cover the nemesis sword "hole" with a templar sword icon but apart from that it is pretty complete!

I have also been trying out this new moulding technique and I am pretty happy with the results!

Please note This is a heroic templar scenic which this is going to a friend, he never beats me normally so I'm letting him have this one victory.

I have also decided to finally complete Grimaldus, he is an iconic member of our chapter and is also in need of a new base!

P.S. Grimaldus still isn't finished but I was just really happy with how his base turned out!

 

I have also just completed the base of the Ignatus Aswell, I hope you like them!

Hi everyone, I have just given Grimmy a makeover. I still need to put inscriptions on him but I am not too sure how to inscribe them!

Any advice would be welcome!

I hope you like him!

Alas this glorious time of forging warriors of the imperium has already drawn to a close, back to uni tomorrow. How time flies. Done a wee bit of

tweaking to Grimaldus (the shoulder guards are now black/white instead of white/black) and I have added a few chains to a few honour guard and

helbrecht. If anyone would like to see those or any more of my models ask here, otherwise I will be stuck in a few books until Christmas. 

I have checked numbers and it seems I have to make a few more chainsword initiates to balance things up so I won't be completely warhammer

starved. 

I didn't play any games at home this time so sadly there won't be any battle reports.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my templars as much as I had making them.

 

Until I return, that's all folks!

Grim is looking really great, the base adds a lot to his attitude and style. I'd definitely like to see some of your chained Templars (who wouldn't?) especially Helbrecht, as I don't see that done often!

 

Good luck with your studies, and I'll look forward to your next burst of hobbying ;)

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

Thanks alot! I still have way too much to paint and the HH boxed set is going to see that list get bigger. 

Note none of these models have been painted sadly and I have some nice  *ahem* _{dark angels} *ahem* heads that I got from forgeworld which  have a templary look to them.

Here you go!

Finally, do you know how to change the name of the topic? 

Enjoy!

[Honda]

Excellent work brother! Please continue.

 

Finally, do you know how to change the name of the topic?

 

 

When you want to change the name of the heading, go to the first post, edit using the "full editor" option (i.e. not the quick edit version) and that will open up the title for changes/updates.

 

Cheers,

[Acebaur]

I like those helms. Where did you get them from?

[Marshal Mattias]

... I have some nice  *ahem* _{dark angels} *ahem* heads that I got from forgeworld which  have a templary look to them.

 

 

 

 

Hehe, looks like the old *cough* hid the answer well ;)

Yup, I read Dark angels and stopped reading :lol:  I've been wanting those heads because they do look quite awesome. Good to see them on Templars and that I was right that they'd look great :)

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

Thanks Honda, 

Yeah Forgeworld has some great bits, I have only ordered from there twice so I just save up ideas until I can afford them all!

I have made a list of all of the initiates I have right now and not including Power weapons or special weapons the count came to: 

Bolter Initiates: 27

BP + CCW Initiates: 16

So it looks like I have a few more melee templars to make, nothing done as of yet.

Also, I don't know how many of you use the current paint scheme of the 4th ed codex but I've found it is really easy to sub in my sternguard/vanguard for sword bretheren in my crusader squads, it's great because you can get SB with any combination of weapons this way!

[Acebaur]

I use the traditional scheme from the 4th book. All of my SB are painted the same, regardless of whether they are Stern or Vanguard etc. However, unless I upgrade the Sgt to veteran when I run other squads like Tacticals, or Devs I don't use a SB model. Instead I use an Initiate who has a knee pad painted white with a black cross on it to indicate he is the veteran initiate leading the squad. 

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

Hello Everyone, Christmas is upon us and I have a very special character that will be visiting us this year!

I proudly present to you:

Sigisimund (counts as Helbrecht)

I hope everyone has a good Christmas! 

I'll see if I have time to complete any more models!

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

Hello everyone! 

Santa has been very kind and given me a unit of Centurions to play around with!

When I first laid eyes on them in 2013 I thought the models weren't the prettiest and after I read the rules I was further upset by the 
superiority of the Devastator model compared to it's assault counterpart. 

After receiving the new model and having a look at the new codex I've been glad to see the assault version has been buffed, Both Centurion variants are now 5pts cheaper but Grav costs an extra 5 points more for the Devastator whilst the assault's prices are largely the same.

I have also found that Siege Drills are now also S10 instead of S9 which makes taking on necron overlords, Tau Buffmanders and the like much more feasible.

So because of this I have decided to model my new crusaders as assault centurions, It looks easy enough to magnetise them for alternative *AHEM(ranged)AHEM* weapons.

So far I have began work on my first model, I don't like several factors with these models so I have tried to reduce the width of the model by getting rid of the hurricane side chest bits, I will instead have robes coming down each side and may tie it together at the waist with a chain. 

You can see where I have done so far right here, obviously lots of bits and bobs to still add:

 

http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah78/Btemp93/temporary_zpsxvsdf3ve.jpg

I am not quite sure whether I like the groin guard but the model does look quite thin-waisted without it, I am also thinking about adding a cataphractii - esque gorget (neck guard) if anyone thinks that might look good. I am also plannning my other two to be running but I wanted to start with an easy pose to test the model.

If anyone have any models to inspire me it would be greatly appreciated!

Thoughts and opinions on what I have already/planned would be fantastic too! 

[Sete]

My future wife offered me centurions for christmas. I politely decline and traded for a Calth box.

Hate them.

The Calth Box is a fantastic set, definitely better than Centurions.

 

However, I have had a zealous vision for them, they will be part of my crusade!

1. I really like the helmets. They are a significant improvement over the base version.

 

2. I think robes are a really good idea. Somebody around here did robes and they cover over the waist and groin area, thus giving you a more Templar looking body.

 

3. Gorget = YES!

 

Play on brother, you have a groove on.

Yeah the Dangles Forgeworld Heads are great for templars, the only time those greenies are getting praise from me! 

 

Any idea who? Would be great to see somebody else's attempt.

 

I will keep you posted! 

 

 

[Ciler]

Technically, since those are pre-heresy heads, they're still blackies

[NoPityNoRemorseNoFear]

Hi everyone, I have done very little with the Centurions since my last post so I won't put any photos up but I have managed a few other side projects!

I haven't done much with the cent's because I still am not great at sculpting  Greenstuff so I've decided to hide from it for a few days (technically I should be doing Uni work so this is procrastination at it's best!).

Here are a few new and old models that you may recognise from when they weren't painted!

New Vehicles!

I am pretty happy with how the magnitised Chaplain/ Ironclad came out, It's only taken me a year and 7 days to paint(since I posted them here atleast)!

 

Another set of models that I have shamefully ignored for a while:

and finally to put it all together, This photo was too good not to share!

http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah78/Btemp93/temporary_zpsz6l7f17k.jpg

I am really happy at how the servitors came out and I have finally given inscriptions a go, I'm going to have to go back and do all the other models now amn't I?

Right, I don't have many more days at home to get things painted and I have quite a few different things to try and get done. If I put a list up could you tell me what I should try and get finished first? Motivation to get it done would also be appreciated!
 here are my options:
- Assemble and greenstuff all of the Centurions
- paint the zeal assault terminators
- paint my honour guard units and assemble the forgeworld Templar HQ to use as Honor guard
- paint some standard marines, command squad and a predator

Thanks for your opinions!

[Psykic_scribe]

My vote is for the last option - nothing like a large (or larger?) number of angry, ZEALous marines with supporting firepower on the table.  You have an excellent HQ there already.

Ahem...I believe it goes something like this...NO PITY...NO REMORSE...AND ESPECIALLY, NO FEAR!!!

 

You can do it!

[Brother Christopher]

Thanks for sharing, sir. These are some proud-looking Templars. Also, your work with the centurion ruined my day (again), as my thoughts strayed from proper work (i.e. not hobby-related) to converting my centurions.

 

As for the recommendation... As I'm in a similar place as you are (minus the amazing pace of your progress), I'd say that you should go with the last option. But remember! There is nothing "standard" about Black Templars. They are all unique in their own way ;) And those Rhino APCs can't simply stand there, they need to be mounted by some angry, zealous knights!

[Firepower]

I dig the weird quasi-marble paint job for the aquilla.

Thanks! I hope I haven't distracted you too much but I am normally pretty happy when I day dream about future projects

Yeah It was very touch and go, it initially started with orange and red to contrast but they really didn't go well.

Thanks for the motivation brother, I have decided what I shall do!

 

I will paint a few initiates and the predator and I will fully assemble the Centurions with my last breaths at my painting table.

 

THIS IS MY VOW AND FOR THE EMPEROR IT SHALL BE DONE!
