templargdt Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Good job on the Outrider Chaplains. Thanks! I cleaned up and highlighted four converted Incursors today. Slowly but surely getting done the work of putting the army together nicely.

templargdt Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 I finished up this squad of my converted Incusors. It's been a slog, but stripping and converting the Reivers I put together for Knightfall years ago and having this result is really satisfying. I used chainswords from the Mark IV armor box, Mark VII helms, and bolt rifle scopes for the sensor. The final result is just very pleasing. I continue to be so grateful for Black Templar contrast. It's not perfect, but I've gotten better with it. Also, the transfers. I only tore 1 getting 10 on this squad. I finally got the hang of it. I'll probably go back at some point and put some purity seals on the models for some additional bling and also colors, but I've highlighted them and I'm good. I have another five to finish, and all the models I need to finish up from Indomitus, plus two Impulsors I bought. Then the Templar box drops, God willing.

templargdt Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Finished up the other five models of my 10 converted Incursors except I ran out of transfers, I have to dig around and find my huge stash I have built up over the years.

templargdt Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Found the transfer stash, I ripped 10(!) before I got two to stick on the last model, which was almost enough to give me a stroke. But both squads are done.

templargdt Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 10?! Were they the OG GW ones? Yes, the 1999 transfer sheet. I kept all them from all the kits I've bought since 2008.

templargdt Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Oh yeah, those sheets did not age well. Clearly. Is there some other sheet people are using for templars?

Sword Brother Adelard Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Yeah, a few. Three big hitters are Scumbag Kustoms on Facebook, he's based in Japan. He does nice looking sheets of crosses and text. I don't know much about the quality of the transfers though, I have a sheet on order, and he's making me some custom ones for my sister's. The other big name is The Mighty Brush. They probably do the best designs on th sheets, with cool things like chains, crosses with skulls, the apothecary symbol and checker patterns, oh, and the crusade badges for greaves. However, I find them incredibly frustrating to apply. They curl and fold up all the time and the application process takes way longer than any other transfers I have ever used. My preference, just for crosses, is Veni Vidi Vici Wargames. They do really nice sheets of just Maltese crosses in red, black and white. They apply really well, and lay smooth on shoulder pads. He's a sole trader in the UK, his site is closed until 23rd as he's moving, but you can buy them from Essex Miniatures I think. templargdt and sibomots 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365945-new-crusade-launches/page/3/#findComment-5729588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

templargdt Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Had some time this weekend to do some work, and I finished up four of the Assault Intercessors. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Edit: My pictures continue to be trash but I assure the models look great in person.

templargdt Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks Bjorn! If I had more time I would do neater highlight lines but I don't, so touch ups as I can. But I'm satisfied so there you go.

templargdt Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 We all set our own criteria for victory. Your Templars are looking great! Thanks Jud! I wish I had more time for Knightfall but work, family, being sick, etc. All took its toll. My Blood Ravens look better, but I had a lot more time to paint back then. I'm not embarrassed by them so I guess it's enough.

Brother Carpenter Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) 10?! Were they the OG GW ones? Yes, the 1999 transfer sheet. I kept all them from all the kits I've bought since 2008.I hear you.Had the same experience. My best workaround is: 1. Carefully cut between the legs of the crosses, not all the way through! The transfer will follow the shape of the shoulderpad better. 2. Do not let the transfer drift from the backing paper. If the transfer is loose pick up the paper and slide the transfer from the backing paper onto the desired location wit copious amounts of water. 3. Dab carefully dry and immediately seal with varnish.

templargdt Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 There is an event at my FLGS next weekend and I am hoping that I can get away for it and finally throw down with my Templars that I've been working on and not my Blood Ravens.

Tokugawa Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I found old decals(>15 years) would get less sticky, and easy to be broken when operating on curved surfaces. I brought a page of new BT decals instead, with around $4. templargdt 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365945-new-crusade-launches/page/3/#findComment-5792715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Carpenter Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yes mine are brittle too. I just bougt on e bay a sheet from forgotten chapters.eu They look nice.
