Marshal the Crusade! Black Templars from start to finish by Mini_Painting_Mike

[mini_painting_mike]

It was strange for Lieutenant Valerious Trebane to be among those for whom The Emperor's first crusade had never finished when he himself had been psycho-indoctrinated with a history of the Imperium that screamed at his mind that this Indomitus Crusade was the next chapter in the history of mankind. To some this may have felt like a minor detail, but to he whom had begun his time of service in the Yellow Armour of the Imperial Fists it meant everything. He was grateful that his superiors had agreed with him that his religious devotion was better suited to his brothers in The Black Templars, but whilst they were happy to part ways with him the reception was not the same amongst his new kin. 

 

It was strange for them too, that he had arrived seemingly untested but with the rank of command. Never the less, he was here, and soon he would make known his worth in the field of battle. 

 

Soon... 

 

Hi all! Believe it or not, this is actually the first Space Marine I've painted in many years! Inspired by the Audio Book of Helsreach I've bitten the bullet and committed my next hobby goal to paint between now and next year a complete Black Templar's Force. 

 

Obviously between now and then we are expecting a new edition of 40K to drop, so when that does I'll assess exactly what size of force I would be looking to finish, but I look forward to updating this thread as I go.

 

Wish me luck!
