Brother 'Ussell Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I've always liked the look of lots of banners in an army, so when they released the plastic scouts I decided to add neophytes that carried squad banners in my Black Templars Crusade. This is the squad banner bearer for one of my squads that's also still WIP http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/Brother_Ussell/WIPscout.jpg I've carefully cut all the hair from the scouts head to look a bit more like the scouts from the cover of the BT codex and to try the twelve o'clock shadow/stubble look. Painting Shaved Heads Here also is a quick shot of the squad the Neophyte will be carrying the banner for, only 3 marines done so far. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/Brother_Ussell/Callidus1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85195-wip-templar-neophytestandard-bearer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

valincius Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Khorne, I think posts are supposed to have a purpose ;), most of your posts are like that too. I love the marines, I would have the standard bearer really beaten up as he would only take it if he was the last guy standing, a hill style base would be cool. Love to see it when it is finished.

Let's leave the moderation to the mods, shall we? Back OT: really loving that standard bearer, Brother 'Ussell. He's got a bit of a 'Full Metal Jacket' feel to him. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85195-wip-templar-neophytestandard-bearer/#findComment-986589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moribund the Burgermeister Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 You made the scout head look so much better by shaving off his hair! Good job! Moribund.

Commissar Molotov Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I like the model, but I think that the Bolt Pistol could do without the silencer and sight - these neophytes aren't doing any sneaking around.

CrashMann Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 The neophyte looks great. I would not change a thing. Do you any plans of doing any more neophytes for this squad?

Chaplain Desmodus Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Great work there.

Petropavlov Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Awesome work; the shaved head adds loads to the model and the freehand work looks pretty solid.

masterseth Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Like others I do dig the shaven head scout look...I also think your regular BT are ace. That being said...I think the actual banner could be/should be considerably larger...kinda looks like ol' boy is holding a pole with a pillow case attached to it, not the banner of a multi-thousand year old military brotherhood. But that is just one mans opinion. :lol: (forgot me Ninja) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85195-wip-templar-neophytestandard-bearer/#findComment-987070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4thHorseman Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Wow, that worked out better than I expected. Shaving the head definitely makes the world of difference. Good Job.

Brother 'Ussell Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks for the great comments guys! CRASHMANN: I do plan on adding quite a few neophytes to each squad, with the new plastic ones the opportunity for conversions to make them each a bit more unique is too good to pass up. MASTERSETH: I agree about the banners, but I also feel that with a squads own banner it wouldn't be as large as say the entire crusade's banner, more for the squads own personal pride sorta thing, but yes I do wish they were a bit bigger. There's more stuff I would have liked to add to it but I didn't want it to look too crowded.

undead marine Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Looking nice as your marines. :jaw: Only thing is that the banner is too clean, it would have looked better with some damage to it in some way. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85195-wip-templar-neophytestandard-bearer/#findComment-988299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
