I have done various bits to my crusade over the previous months, but not posted anything as I've been having camera issues.

Anyway, here are a couple of vanguard sword brethren with dual chainswords that I kit bashed yesterday. They'll be next up on the painting table along with a couple of our sword brethren models.

I have also finished (bar applying decals) my 2nd stormtalon helicopter conversion.

I've always wanted to make my StormTalon look like an Orca from Command and Conquer, someone has done a conversion of this online, but I don't think it works.: http://gravengames.co.uk/project-storm-orca/

​The issue for me is that round rotors don't look right on an imperial vehicle, the Imperium aren't renowned for their love of circles!

I've had an idea to make a standard bearer (now chapter ancient apparently!) for the Domus Crusade for ages, but didn't have the parts to complete it. Well I haven't bought any models for around 6 months, so I thought I'd treat myself to buying the bits. So, I've been tinkering around this afternoon kitbashing...

The head will be a helmetless stern-faced one, suitably grim. The thing I can't decide is what to do with the left arm - should he be pointing, firing a bolt pistol, firing a bolter, etc. I need some advice here, what do you think?

I actually dislike the two spikes pointing downwards on the "halo" on top, reminds me too much of chaos. And the twin tailed hammer on the backside of the standard would make a nice spot for a plain maltese cross... :wink:

Otherwise a nice idea and i really like the portable relique, because what else would a crusader bring? :tu:

The standard looks great, but what is it? The skeleton of an Emperor's Champion who gave his life so Imperial forces may claim victory, now mounted and displayed so even in death, he may continue encouraging Black Templars and Imperial allies to greater feats of valor?

Decided to convert a terminator chaplain using the hq model from the Calth box set. I know it's the wrong firm of terminator armour, but I don't care - rule of cool. What do you guys think?

I know that it's slightly heretical for Templars, and I'm unlikely to field them very often in my Templars army (I'd intended to use them more with my inquisitors), but here are my sniper neophytes (minus some small decals for shoulder pads). I really don't like the sniper scout models, so I wanted something different - cue anvil industries. Really like these models and I enjoyed trying a camo pattern on their fatigues and armour. I wasn't originally going to paint them as Templars, but couldn't bring myself to paint another chapter.

The Neophyte snipers look great!

A proper Templar should focus on the ends instead of the means. Will sniping kill enemies of the Imperium? Will it corrupt the sons of Dorn and make them pawns of Chaos and/or xenos? If the answer to both questions is "no," then snipe away.

It's been so long since I last posted!

And I haven't been doing any painting or modelling really in so long. Teaching and having a toddler aren't necessarily conducive to hobby time. I don't get to play very often at all either - once every couple of months, but I still love it when I get the chance.

 

I've got a can mid-Feb and have decided to take a very different list and use things I've not really tried in 8th. Trying to use some of the Faith & Fury stuff to push my Templars style further. So, what do people think of this list?

I'll try and get a few photos of some of the models I've been working on in my months of absence, and try to get some focus on making progress.

2 quick builds from odd bits I had laying around - Neophyte sergeant ready to punch xenos/heretic face, and a sword brother because who doesn't like an angry Templar staring you down armed with lightning claws?

It's great to see people still working on 'regular marines'. The Neophyte 'sarge' looks great. A real bad-:censored:. Also, the piece of detail on the SB's lightning claw seems interesting. It looks like an ornament from a power fist trimmed down to a shield or plate. Is it so?

It's part of the crotch plate from the centurions kit. When I made my assault centurions I wanted loincloths so cut the crotch plate away. With this lightning claw, it's actually a wolf guard one and I cut away the wolf skull on the back and therefore wanted to cover up the mess. I though an ornamental shield in the back of the fist might look quite cool.

These guys are looking great! I like your list; like my current efforts, it's great to see plenty of Original Templars hitting the field. I'm looking at a surprisingly similar list myself, and I'm relieved to know I'm not alone

Starting work on a new project - a chaplain dreadnought. Love chaplains, love dreadnoughts, so what could be better than an awesome combination. I think I'm going to go to town on this model. (Just hope the new edition doesn't mess with the rules to make it pointless)
