_Dalion_ Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hello guys! Let me introduce myself a little bit. My name is Diz, iam 29 years and iam coming from Austria. After a while thinking about presenting my crusade in an english speaking Forum, i decided : What should go wrong So for all language issues iam deeply sorry Iam into the hobby for about 15 years now. The first Models i collected have been Wood Elves, and i have to say that i have never played a Warhammer Fantasy game yet After a while collecting a bunch of War Dancers and Dryads i explored Space Marines. I liked the Models really much... The armor... The Bolters... and so on... So my first army has been Ultramarines. I collected about 3000Pts and then i found a chapter that i really felt into. I remember the White Dwarf for the 25th anniversary of GW. The Black Templars and the Codex Armageddon have been released. I really liked the Fluff and the painting in it. Also the Emperors Champion Model really blew my mind! So i decided to paint all my Ultramarines in a new style (most of them just with a black base coat and white shoulder pads) As our gaming-group has become older, everyone decided to quit the hobby, and so nearly every army got sold on ebay. After a break (i think 8 years) a friend of mine got me back into the hobby. So i started Black Templars again..... (also black base coat and done...) There have been so many good BT army's around at that time(maybe you guys know them... The Barbarossa and the Kalman Crusade). So i got really disappointed with my painting Style. So there are now (i guess) 3 years between, and iam at a point where i think i can paint black (and specially the BT's) in a style that really fits to them. So i hope the wall of text is written in an readable language and you can enjoy some of my models The Emperors Champion Ezra: Grimaldus: Crusader Squad: Probus: Sternguard Squad: Sword Bretheren (Honour Guard): More pictures following....

Zeller Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Very nice looking force. Why did you choose white helmets on the sternguard? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310757-the-dimaris-crusade/#findComment-4116702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 If I remember correct Sword brothers are marked out by white helmets red crosses and red trim on the shoulder pads arent they? or is that just terminator sword brothers?

Soldrath Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Your models are fantastic! Great work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310757-the-dimaris-crusade/#findComment-4116815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Absolutely amazing work, I especially like the emperors champion and the sternguard squad. I might end up doing the white helmets thing though I think that only apothecaries get the white helmet.

Liberame Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The white helmets were for sword brethren termies, but one of the white dwarf guys included it on their power armor sword brethren as well and his army was posted in white dwarf. Not sure if there is actual fluff to support that claim though. I personally like the white helmet look, but will probably reserve it for honor guard, or gold helmets...

_Dalion_ Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hey guys! thank you for that awesome feedback so far! Very nice looking force. Why did you choose white helmets on the sternguard? I choose white to make them a little bit more outstanding from the rest of the crusade.Dont know if its correct, but as far as i can remember in the 4th edition codex (or armageddon?) they wrote that the BT veterans wear white helmets along with the terminator sword bretheren. (At this time there havent been regular sword bretheren)The red cross red/ trim thing is also right if you take the newer dexes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310757-the-dimaris-crusade/#findComment-4117041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I very much like your style of painting. It's very subdued and natural looking. Bravo brother and welcome to the Eternal Crusade!
