Black Templars Captain

Well here is another project I had been working on for some time.  He is a Black Templars Sword Brethren that has been converted, well you might be thinking doesn't look like it was converted, but surely it was. I acquired him off of ebay for a few bucks and then as soon as he arrived I got to work on it. He is a 3 piece metal model and I knew right from the start that some of the conversions might be a little tricky and could end up damaging the model if I wasn't careful. The biggest issue was removing the head with a dremel which took a while. Once I got the heads removed I then fitted him with a Champion plastic helmet from the command squad box. This was simple I just had to cut the small bump under the helmet off and file it smooth. Once the head was attached I had to attach a new boltgun with strap and a power sword similar to Helbrects. In addition to this I added a sword sheath on his hip. Once the converting was out

Black Templars Characters

These are two custom builds that I was asked to build for a Black Templar army. The top model is a chaplain and is a pretty straight forward conversion, nothing too serious. The bottom model is to be a champion. There is a little more to him then the chaplain. I gave him a gauntlet style bolter which is held under his shield arm. The symbol on the shield and banner are free hand painted. 
They were painted in the standard Black Templar style with just a little more gold added to make them stand out from there other battle brothers. They are based on a roadway style shown on the GW website. I am really pleased with how they turned out and have always enjoyed painting Templars.
I always try to upload as much as possible, but life can get
so busy. I finished these 2 models a while back, sometime in December last year. I am about 6 weeks behind on posting projects and plan to do a new post every couple days till I catch up.Keep coming back for more projects. There is a boat load in the pipeline to be posted including some of my personal projects. Thanks for following and till next time.

Black Templars Commission

Well this is another project I had been working on recently and it is finally complete. I eally enjoy painting the Black Templars theme, it looks really good. I think I might use the same white on black approach for another project that I am workiing on for myself, with a few changes. As for these Templars, this group is to go with the other models I painted a few months ago and they will look great with them. I also went a little further with a couple of the models since they are either going to be used as HQ units or just for show, such as Grimaldus and his retinue. As usual the models will be going to a nice home and find lots of action on the battlefield, next project possibly a weather-beaten Deathwing with lots of damage. Feel free to leave any questions or comments.

Black Templars Commission

This commission was a blast to paint, lots of colors and white on black always looks cool. All of the units are painted in the codex color coordination, the only change have made was to give the brethren black capes instead of bleached bone. I then painted a chapter insignia on each cape to give them a more regal look. In all this commission took me about 6 weeks on and off. I worked on it here and there along with the other things I have posted in the last 2 months. I have used a lot of bits from the Black Templars upgrade sprues and made sure that all the marines in the tactical squads had templar shoulder pads. All the squads have been based in a marsh type theme. I used water effects for the water areas to give a more realistic impression. Overall I feel that the entire army came out very well and hope the customer it is for loves it as much as I do. If you have anyquestions about this commission please leave a comment or email me. Enjoy!
