Jag's Crusade: Relapse

[Marshal Reinhard]

Ah yes, you declared as much in your post. I guess I was too dstracted by the paintjob in question to read properly.

[Smoke Frog]

More Primaris reinforcements in the form of a Marshal/ Castellan. I've seen plenty of different versions of this guy and here is my take on him! C and C welcome

Really like your templars, especially this guy!

Edit: And your imperial knight on page 5

Nice looking models painting is great and neat conversions!!

[JAG Templar]

Here is another model that I had commissioned by the same artist. I’m really happy with the work he has done. Again, I wanted something that looked like it had been crusading for a very, very long time. Not my work but very happy to add it to my crusade

I‘ve actually painted some things as well so will post those soon!

[Marshal Vespasian]

This gives me Some Peace in regards to my idea of adding some heresy fists wargear to my crusade.

 

Levis are beautiful models and this one is looking dope as hell. Also great weathering that is not going overboard.

Please pass on my compliments to the artist responsible for the Leviathan. The Siege Dreadnought looks GREAT!

[JAG Templar]

If you guys want to check out the artist, here is his website. Great guy and great artist!

Impressive painting on his website.

Nice to see whats possible.

Hi all,

Here is my take on the slash captain. Counts as Captain with Jump pack and Teeth of Terra. Fully magnetised for future versions of the game. Will take better photos soon.

Good job on the CAPT, but why is his armor brass-colored instead of black? Is he wearing a relic of the Great Crusade, a suit of artificer armor from one of Dorn's own Honor Guards, given golden armor to match what their Primarch wore pre-Heresy? Edited January 17, 2020 by Bjorn Firewalker

I went back and looked at some of the previous stuff you did the standard model with the grim reaper on it was a really cool conversion!

Thanks! Sadly, not much use for him in 8th edition.

[JAG Templar]

After many months of being lost to other table top gaming systems, the 9th announcement kicked me back into 40k mode.

Really glad I magnetised everything on this guy, as I just need to change the backpack and sword and he is sworded and boarded for 9th!

Also needed to get these off my hobby desk so haven’t them a quick and dirty table top standard painting. Love including Celestial Lions in my Crusade whenever I can!

I’m guessing Knightfall 2020 didn’t go ahead? In which case I’ll be doing some Impulsors next, ready to transport all of our new close combat units!

[Medjugorje]

what a model WOOOOOOOW.

 

like the Celestial lions too.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the Marshal and the Celestial Lions.

[JAG Templar]

what a model WOOOOOOOW.

 

like the Celestial lions too.

Thanks! I’d posted some poor quality pictures of him before but wanted to show him off in all his glory!

[JAG Templar]

Just a quick public service voxcast.

 

I’ve often found black a very difficult colour to highlight with an airbrush, particularly on large surfaces like tanks. I’ve finally found what I think is the perfect colour for airbrush highlights over black. No pics yet but here is the recipe (4 years in the making!):

 

All colours from the Vallejo Model Air range.

 

2:2:1 Black Green: Dark Grey Blue: Black

 

Enjoy! And would love to hear if anyone has found a better one.

[Medjugorje]

if you have some pictures I would be glad.

[JAG Templar]

Sure! I don’t like to post WIPs but will post the finished model soon.

Bit late to the party here but your crusade is looking magnificent mate! Really crisp paintwork, and I particularly love your Celestial Lions; I've been toying with the idea of adding some to my own crusade, and you've definitely convinced me to go for it.

 

 

I wish! All decals. I’ve worked out over the years how to make them look more like part of the model and less fake.

Would you mind elaborating on this? I've been applying some decals for the first time lately and having a very rough time with them.

[Brother Christopher]

I've missed your last two photo updates, but the models are great, as always. I'm also happy for you that you've found a satisfying way to go about with airbrushing blacks.

Hey thanks and sure:

 

1. The receiving surface should be smooth. If you are unsure, hit it with some satin varnish before.

2. Decals on pauldrons are a pain. Small crosses are easier like the ones in the old FW sheet. The ones that come with old tactical squad boxes are a bit unwieldy.

3. Prep the surface with a little Micro Set

4. Soak and place decal on correct spot. This is the main part and the hardest to explain: take a tissue and press it firmly onto the decal. Run from the centre out to the edge until it’s perfectly flat and no bubbles. You will definitely rip some decals trying to get this right but it’s critical.

5. Apply Micro Sol

6. Hit it with Matt varnish once dry.

[Quixus]

I think you switched Micro Sol and Micro Set.

Thanks for this I struggle most with avoiding the bubbles and kinks when applying, so will give your method a go.

Almost finished the Celestial Lion Impulsor with conversion kit. Black Templar version on its way soon!

Thoughts on Impulsor in 9th? I feel as though all Primaris hover tanks have been nerfed a bit.
