Grotsmasha Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Although I do not have pics, there's two very simple solutions. 1- You'll need to trim the round bit off the top of a Terminator torso, be very careful not to damage it. Them trim the lugs off the inside of the BT upgrade torso front and test fit it to a Terminator torso back. You will find a very small amount of trimming/shaving with a hobby knife will produce an acceptable fit. Before gluing, trim the PA torso, the two little nubs beside the head which match up to the rear of the torso. Now position and glue the round bit you cut off the Terminator torso at the start. 2- Buy and de-angelify the Dark Angel Terminator Knight torsos.

Canadian_F_H Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm going to pick up a box of death wing knights and take a whack at Templar-ification... So yeah that'll eventually get posted up... Marshall Matt. did you ever paint those terminators you posted in that thread based on the death wing kit?

Marshal Mattias Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I started one... :P I am easily distracted. I moved onto the chaplain biker for our event, and am currently batch-re-painting around 20 crusaders to try and get a decent tabletop level for a whole playable army, finally. Maybe I can finish one of them off, just for an example.

Nice find - that's very similar to the one I was remembering. I actually might have a go at this at some point - I have some tabard torsos and some old termies that I was considering turning into tactical variants. They would look better this way, provided I can dismember them easily enough.

Marshal Mattias Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think I got the key info (plus the pictures are pretty clear) but I doubt anyone would complain if you have the spare time ;) If you do knock together a post, maybe it would be worth popping it into the resources thread for future reference?

Ciler Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 This tutorial is inspired by the work of Nicolas Fournel on the old GW website and archived here : http://www.thargannis.com/Hobby/Modelisme/termi/tutotermi.htm The objective is to convert standard terminators into BT terminators using the BT upgrade sprue to achieve the following results : Stage 1 : fitting the tabard on the back Cut the arched part from the orginal torso : On the back, cut or file off the rounded bits highlighted in yellow to ensure a flush connection with the new torso File off the top and back of the tactical torso until they are completely flat Assemble the three parts, starting with the arched piece then the torso Stage 2 : fitting the legs The tactical torso isn't flush with the back of the terminator body, it is necessary to modify the groin section of the legs to obtain a good fit Cut off the front half of the leg connection and file off part of the groin as necessary Stage 3 : assemble the full model and paint as fitting Note : all pics have been rehosted in a B&C gallery just in case Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317819-robed-terminators/#findComment-4273599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mattias Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sterling work; I have added this to the Black Templar Resources sticky and credited. Keep on crusading folks!

Marshal Mattias Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'm going to pick up a box of death wing knights and take a whack at Templar-ification... So yeah that'll eventually get posted up... Marshall Matt. did you ever paint those terminators you posted in that thread based on the death wing kit? I did a little work on the sgt yesterday. It's such a scruffy WIP that I didn't want to post it I'll try and finish him today and get a pic up. EDITED: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/matzeke/82AFD0A4-09B1-4856-9F94-A6349F4D2182_zps7xsqzkzq.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/matzeke/2FC3C47C-1A5F-4C0A-B06C-EF618CB29B88_zpsfmjgmtim.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/matzeke/855CE70A-51A3-4920-B056-A67B4A087D4F_zpsrq00nwdk.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/matzeke/284C038E-34FB-472A-AE6C-24F6E3CE630E_zpsmtceq5or.jpg As always, I can see a few errors thanks to the photo zoom, will try and correct them later. Still, this is broadly what I was aiming for with the kitbash so pretty happy. Also I would say this is the least dynamic pose from the squad - there's nothing wrong with it, but the others are all much much more 'action-y' than this fella.

Marshal Hadrarius Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Excellent work there Mattias! nice strong colours and i love a good sword and shield scheme! I today in fact have kitbashed my first Terminator im not overly happy with the pose but the method works very well.

Canadian_F_H Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 nice. i see some GK bits in there... i could use the helms for sure.... i've been terribly busy out side of the hobby as always... this is as far as ive gone... ive scrubbed off most of the DA icons... ive left a lot of swords icons which i can justify as they are "Sword Brethren" but thats still up for debate for me... man some of those were rough to take off... i'm thinking the first on the left will be used for my Marshall (with burning sword and SS or SE) i'll be cleaning off the storm shields and using some of the Vehicle icons to create my Templar storm shields...

Ciler Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Since this thread got brought back to my attention, here's the result of both techniques (DA robes and converted BT tabards) in the same squad : http://reho.st/self/0ec3edb33da55ecd60dbf2cb03dfec81259504cd.jpg As far as I am concerned, I believe they blend fairly well.
