Greetings,

 

This is the start of my Black Templars army and their crusade to cleanse the Imperium of Man from the Heretic, Mutant and the Witch.

 

They have returned from the fringes of known space after more than a century to find the Imperium much different than they left it. Warp Storms, a Primarch returned, the galaxy split in two. There is much work to do, they embark upon the Vindex Crusade!

The High Marshal, The Emperors Champion, Honor Guard and a Crusader Squad will ride in a Land Raider Crusader (to be painted next).

Great looking stuff. I like the neat colours and Helbrecht's black armour. The axe and plasma pistol Marine must be my favourite!

 

The only thing I'm not a huge fan of are the skulls on the bases, but they just might all be walking through a forsaken battlefield.

 

Keep up the good work and Crusade on!

Thanks brother, I was conflicted about the skulls but I wanted something different than my norm. I picture them walking across Armageddon and the skulls of ancient wars.

Perhaps the Vendix Crusade landed on a barren war torn planet near the fringe of known space as they were passing it on the way to defend the Imperium against the multitude of new threats.  Why land on a barren planet?  Maybe something called to them ... a cryptic comm message originating from a planet with no signs of life on any of their scanners.  Maybe they know this planet, they passed it on the way out beyond the fringe ... it was a thriving agri planet ... now its a barren wasteland ... pulsing with chaotic power.  

 

or whatever ... there are countless planets in the galaxy ... and in the grim darkness of the far future there is only war

I like this, it will be part of their fluff when I have time to write something more substantial.

You have to make any modifications on the tabard torso with the Mark III legs?  I was dry fitting them last night and the torso was not fitting very well.

It doesnt fit well on all of the mk3 legs. Try several different leg/torso combos. Also because of the tabbard the torso rides a littte higher than normal but its not noticable. Or you could leave a little gap between the bottom the torso halves and just fill it in with green stuff. Either way works.

Looks fantastic man. I really like your painting style. Landraider looks excellent, looking forward to seeing what else you'll do! Where did the shields come from, on your assault marines?

Thank you! The shield with the red and black checker is from the assault marine box I think and the other one came out of my bits box but I think it was a terminator storm shield.

Love your Landraider; the sponson/turret shields look awesome - I may borrow that idea for my next LRC, whenever I get back to my crusade!

 

Your crusade as a whole is looking great and I particularly like your axe-wielding Sword Brethren. Misleadingly simple weapon swaps that you have pulled off very slickly ;)

Thank you very much! I really like how the sword brethren cam out as well. I wish the codex entry for honor guard gave more options for weapons but I do like the axes. It would make more sense for the sword brothers to actually have swords though . The old metal sm vet that is now a sword brother will one day get a cape to match his brethren, but I have been unable to make one that I am happy with yet.
