Bongfu Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 This is a log for a forgotten crusade. A crusade that many deemed foolish and doomed to fail. A crusade that was simultaneously the greatest triumph for these sons of Dorn and its greatest failure. This is the story a crusade. A crusade into one of the darkest corners of the galaxy. A place that has felt no light from the Emperor save the faith and steel of his angels of death. The Veiled Regions house traitors, heretics, and xenos alike. This crusade was forged to bring about the Emperor's benediction to all those residing within. In the darkest void of space, in the places of eternal night, and where shadows dare not tread the blackest of his holy orders ventures forth with zeal in their twin hearts. This is a templar story. A Black Templar Story. This is the Veiled Crusade. ----------------------------------------------------------------- So I have started one of the projects that has been long overdue. In my sixteen years of playing Warhammer I have never actually had an army for one of my favorite space marine chapters. Too be fair, I have always found their performance on the battlefield to be lackluster. Now that I have turned from caring about competitiveness, I have focused more on the aspects I love of the hobby. The modeling and painting. The themes. The character of each force. So this humble hobbyist hopes to tread these hallowed halls among veteran crusaders and add my Templars' stories to the pile. I will be building my templar force slowly. As my work leaves little time and my city little money to expand on this hobby. But alongside my Iron Warriors, it is my pledge for 2019 to have a fully built and painted force by the end of it. So with words of encouragement, criticism, and advice, I hope you will follow me down this path. ---------------------------------------------------- Sword Brethren - Brotherhood of the Raven Near Complete Brother Cast of Characters Reclusiarch Agrippa (Count as Grimaldus) The Emperor's Champion - Brother Barriston Character Concept (unsure what he will be yet) "Imperial Space Marine" - Going to make this guy a super old veteran Originally my Helbrecht count as, but now will probably just be a normal Marshal (Helbrecht is being worked on) Where would we be without our "Cenobyte Servitors". These guys are essentially my take on Chapter Serfs My favorite serf so far. "What is my purpose on the battlefield, m'lord?" "You spread his holy incense!" "Oh... :cuss..."

Honda Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Welcome to the Eternal Crusade brother, Texas has plenty of room for more Templars. It was interesting to read of your journey and what brought you here. I think it's a common theme that many have found themselves losing interest in the competitive side of the game and then finding something in the story that moves them. What is important is that you are here. You've done a good job of putting your characters together, though on initial viewing, the sword on your EC seems just a tad large. Your Grimaldus is currently my favorite. I look forward to seeing some color on him. Play on good sir!

We should start our own Texas Crusade lol Eh, the sword is big, but that is kind of the point. For me, 40k has always had those ridiculousnesses in it. I think it will look better when it is painted. Grey plastic adds 10 pounds to ever model.

Understood and I don't disagree with you, because when you stick a true scale 28 mm sword in their hands, it looks pretty weedy. I think he'll probably be fine, I'd just keep him from standing too close to Custodes. They're liable to say something like, "Need a hand with that little man?" :) Go make it work.
