+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'm brand new to the hobby. Haven't even finished painting my army. But I chose Black Templars before 8th was even announced. I've modeled 2 or 3 crusader squads and some termies and just started painting. THis is the first thing I've ever painted and I'm not really happy with it. But I'll get better with practice. Enjoy!

Marshal Mattias Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Welcome to the Eternal Crusader, brother! I like your aesthetic on the Termies, I think it's a great kit myself. Love the kitbash on that Chaplain as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Welcome to the Eternal Crusade ChaplainMatthias, you're off to a good start. The Terminators are unmistakably Templars. The kit bash Chaplian is sweet. But you know what ,I'm loving the bases, subtle and simple yet very nice. Especially the bare headed Terminators base.

Thanks I saw the technique on I think spikey bits youtube channel? I cant remember exactly. I just cut up the box for my super glue to make bricks. The aquila was from my rhino kit.

AndrewChristlieb Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Awesome Templars! I'm seriously going to get confused between Marshal Mattais and Chaplain Matthias now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m01iti0n Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Your painting looks similar to mine when I started. GW tutorials helped me a lot. Just looking at your guys now they're definitely solid work, but I would go the extra mile with washes. Sinks into the cracks for shading and gives it a nice texture (looking at tabards, hair, and skin). Building up colors helps immensely. I've always based in black so I have to. Base, dark red, lighter red, wash. Black, medium gray, white. And so on. Makes colors more vibrant and I'm the case of white (which running BT you'll do a lot of) the less coats of white the better otherwise it'll get chunky. A lot of people go with black paint and highlights and I hate doing that, so I go with mechanicus gray with two black washes to get a matte effect. Seems to highlight itself while looking dusty and dirty. But all in all you're off to a great start, and I love the kitbashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try that technique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wolfhart Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Welcome to the Eternal Crusade, Brother! I wish my first models would have been anywhere near what you got there. I didn't even scrape away moldlines... silly me. Keep improving step by step, get ideas from other crusade threads around here or ask away! You're definitely up for a good start. You came to the right place, this is one of - if not the - most friendly yet ZEALOUS places on the internet, the BT subforum especially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
