Gerhard Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hello Everyone, A long while ago I used to keep a thread semi-updated with regards to my Crusade and it's happenings, yet it has fallen a bit silent over the past year(s) or so. I've played quite some games, swapped around to some different armies, honed my painting skills a little, and just keep coming back to wanting to finish (and upgrade) my original Black Templar Crusade. Recently, my eyes caught the painting techniques and scheme's of an artist on Instagram which inspired me greatly to really pick up my Black Templars again.... so here I am. Furthermore, I like Primaris. Yes... I am one of those people but I like how the models look. However, when it comes to the Black Templars, I love what you can do with Primaris to make them very templar-like. Because.... a simple Primaris isn't going to cut it in a proper Black Templar Crusade! I figured the first Marine painted should be a tribute to this great artist, so I've painted an intercessor in a somewhat comparable painting scheme to what he is doing, using the exact pose of one of his models. I did give it my own twists, especially on the base because I just love basing and making it as realistic as I can. I give you: Brother Atamer, named after the artist that has inspired me to pick up my crusade again! What is to come? I've currently got a Repulsor, Redemptor, Revier Squad and Intecessor (9 remaining) Squad to finish. I am also going to do a fully custom Helbrecht and Grimaldus, based on the Primaris Librarian (heresy, I know, trust me you won't recognize the Librarian...) and the Primaris Chaplain. I also still have a Stormraven and Stormtalon lying around, and some vehicles... who knows, maybe those will become part of the Crusade as well. Curious to hear what you think! Also still looking for some weathering tips, as I really intend to go for a weathered / older look on my models. I don't like it when they look too shiny and new. p.s. for those interested in seeing the artist I am talking about, check out his instagram: Sinan_atamer.

Dosjetka Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Looking good so far! As someone who's keen to reform their own crusade, I'll be following your efforts.

Firepower Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The bronze trim is a nice touch. Well done Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352531-the-ascalon-crusade-reforms/#findComment-5220536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Thanks! As I said, credits for the paint scheme go to the artist I referred to. I simply added some personal touches to it :).

Brother Talarian Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Looks great man! I actually thought you were the individual. I recently started following him as well and started to add bronze/gold trim to my knights. You use his tutorial for bronze as well?

Gerhard Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Thanks, no not the individual. Also not using the tutorial for it in this case but my own idea of how to paint bronze based on one of Duncan's older videos :).

+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Sinan Atamer is my favorite black templars painter on all of Instagram. You did a good job replicating his style!

Marshal Vespasian Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Great Baroque look on the intercessor with the trim. Welcome back to the fold brother.

Honda Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Welcome back brother! The Eternal Crusade has seen many of its wandering brethren return as well as many new crusades initiated. I like what you did on your Intercessor and the armor treatment is very interesting looking. Certainly not something I would have thought of so I look forward to seeing more work in this regard. I am assuming you would continue the bronze highlights on the vehicles as well? The only nit I would bring up is the mold line on the helmet. It's one that sneaks up on me as well from time to time, I think because the Primaris lines are new and not as familiar as other marks of armor.

Gerhard Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Yeah I actually only noticed the mold line as I posted the picture... I'll have to pay more attention to those on the next models. Currently working on two more Intercessors who are hopefully finished over Christmas. Will try to keep this thread updated.
