Brother Christopher Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Cool models; I needed to get up to date with the last two pages of your work and I must say, there's a lot that I like (makes me want to work on some Primaris Marines, but I must resist!). I like some of the conversions (speaking of conversions, the conversion beamer on your Techmarine isn't a stock option, right?) - particularly, you have some unique characters that'll most definitely stand out from the rest of the standard Primaris HQs. I really appreciate the little details - the freehand crosses, the heraldry shields for the Bladeguards and Apothecary, the faces (I'd love to be able to paint faces half as good as you do!), the reds (especially on the Techmarine!), the parts of Maltese crosses on BGV's tabards, the gold trim on the Biker Chaplain. For the sake of being objective, I'll leave one critique - personally, I think the Gravis Chaplain is a bit too much - he looks too heavy or unbalanced for my liking (you used Calgar as a base for the model, right? I'm not as familiar with the Primaris range of models as I am with the old stuff).

His armor is a tad bit chunkier than the regular gravis, if that's what you mean by too heavy. And there's definately an imbalance between the left and right arm, perhaps a bit more than on gravis captain with boltstorm gauntlet and powersword Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353155-reinhards-primaris-crusade/page/10/#findComment-5716707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Yeah, I think that the bulk of the arms makes the Gravis Chaplain model a bit weird to me. Then again, it might be due to the angle of the photo - he looks pretty dope together with the Gravis Captain* and a bit awkward in the photo with the Apothecary and Techmarine. Sorry for my rumbling, don't let this detract from the overall quality of your work. *Actually, upon closer inspection, I'm quite surprised how similar Calgar and the Gravis Captain are, especially the way that their legs are positioned! This reminds me of some of the old pewter models.

Marshal Reinhard Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Small update. Dealt with a cold so got a lot less hobby time than I would've wanted. Heavy intercessor squad done. Also redid did my old Dark Imperium Inceptors. Bought extra assault bolter arms from the multipart kit as I feel those look much better than the DI ones. Also makes them more unified in look when fielded together with my multipart kit inceptors. Next plan is probably to add a lot more templar pizzazz to everything, but i'll do that once the templar wave has hit and we know more what we're getting in terms of new bits.

Marshal Reinhard Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm always model first, so in the case of suppressors, while I still have my shadowspear trio I'm holding off and waiting to see what they'll do with full kit version of them. If there ever is a small omnis wave, I'd expect its have a multipart kit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353155-reinhards-primaris-crusade/page/10/#findComment-5723837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Frog Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Sir Reinhard you have truly made an amazing Templar army! My favorites are probably your character conversions on the very first page (specifically that upscaled Emperor's Champion) and your Sworn Brethren/Bladeguard Veterans. Well done!

Marshal Reinhard Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thank you, though I can only take credit for painting the champion, conversion was done by Eberious on this board. I am very pleased with his handiwork on both the champion and Grimaldus.

I am very pleased with his handiwork on both the champion and Grimaldus. ... a conversion I did do myself though is this pseudo EC conversion that i just finished the other day Hadn't really planned on incorporating any more phobos units into my crusade, but when someone gifted me the reiver lieutenant I knew I just had to kitbash something out of it. Just love the about-to-stab-a-heretic-through-the-throat-pose. Not even sure what I could field him as, but the cat's already out of the bag on that, what with my last three character conversions technically having the same issue. Also the anticipation towards new releases is starting to get palpable... Oh, and 'stache guy got a backpack torch, cuz those're cool. The Emperor protects.

Maritn Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 How do you paint the little shields of e.g. the Bladeguard Veterans? Are these a mix of transfers and freehand or purely freehand? They look amazing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353155-reinhards-primaris-crusade/page/10/#findComment-5732922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Transfers a lot of the time. sometimes freehand for checkers and stuff, partly anyway. but the little crosses and eagles are typically transfers.

Marshal Reinhard Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Some more bits and ends: Decided to do yellow plasmas, as the red didn't stick out well enough when all the bolt weaponry is red too. Also emboldened after seeing a the legendary Maxime Corbeil's yellow plasmas, and the numerous people inspired by them. Did it for the multipart kit hellblasters too. Also did some pose variations and threw in some random helmets in there to make em a bit more interesting looking Naturally the biggest boi of the crusade got his too, and a few alterations and sharpening of his paintjob (you can actually read the templar on the sarcophagus now). The braziers also felt like a natural fit, even though I'm undecided on them because of him also having lanterns. My impromptu champion esque kitbash, got a chain with a templar cross, as well as a different head, so it felt less like i just stuck a BGV head on a phobos armor. Oh and I decided to turn my ETB aggressors into regular aggressors by putting boltstorm bits on 'em instead, so its a full single squad now Aaaand I painted a sister, whose white armor doesn't play nice with my camera in the lacking lighting conditions i got: BLACK BLΠFLY, JAG Templar, Eberious and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353155-reinhards-primaris-crusade/page/10/#findComment-5748216 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Flames is basically just following Darren Lathams guide (now removed from youtube)... Essentially paint it in yellow, then go progressively darker away from the hot center. first to orange, then to darker and darker red, can even mix in some black at the very furrthest away if it's large enough so that you get far away from the source.

Marshal Reinhard Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Small update. Though it was driving me up the proverbial wall every single day that went by where I did not get my lunch box, the great irony of it is perhaps that since getting it, I've had precious little time to devote to hobby stuff. I have, however, gotten pretty far on the crusade's first proper sword brother, the one from the Crusader squad: Still a WIP, I need to focus more on the highlights, especially on tabard cloth, and the face looks a bit dark below the cheek bones. Overall pretty happy with him, though my camera seems to perceive the face's flaws much better than my naked eyes. Next should be Marshal and Emperor's champion. The crusader squad will probably wait until i have access to the upgrade kit as well, I will be doing a lot of mixing of bits between these kits and the large chunk of existing intercessors I have, to create one large zealous gathering.
