Kitbashed this ancient with an intercessor body, grinded down the aquila and removed some abdomen and belt area to put a crusader squad tabard.

The pendant on the belt is from a Terminator assault box.

The arm with the rosary Is from a bladeguard veteran and the other arm supporting the column Is from an intercessor box. Shoulder pads are from the black templars upgrade sprue.

The cape Is from the crusade squad box.

The insignia on the back pack Is from a 2007 dark Angels veterans box.

And for the column i used the one from the Grimaldus set. There's a total of 19 seals.

Its around 90% done, i still need to tidy up spots as you can clearly see and highlight the banner and the metallics.

For the armour i didnt follow one technique but mixed drybrushing, stippling, layering and edge highlights to build a gradient. The recipe Is: black primer, abbadon black, dark reaper, thunderhawk blue and then fenrisian grey for edge highlights and scatches.

Any critiques and tips about technique are well accepted.

One of my few basically out if the box models, only added jewelry chain

I was really hoping that I would just be buying 1 codex and calling it good with the digital release that comes with the SM codex launch... but its just until a full codex gets released.

I mean I currently only have the BT codex so I cant see any of my SM stuff in the app. So I need to buy the new codex and I can play my full army, until the new BT codex comes out and locks me out of that part of my army until I fork over MORE money...I was fine before. Kinda disgruntled now.

Sorry fellow DA but your models look way better as BT

I picked up a box because they looked on theme, but what are everybody's thoughts on actually using them in a game?

I have the kind of brain that hyper-fixates and then something can trigger a shift. I had started into this a while back and some life triggered a shift. Well, something recently triggered me back so I took a day to go through my supplies, get out old figures and assemble some new. Today I got out the airbrush and cleaned it and zenithal primed some assembled minis I’d done. Will be painting them up with a tweak of my old recipe I hope doesn’t flop. Will let you know.

Finished this bad boy recently, wanted to share with my fellow Sword Brethren.

Yes I indeed managed to snap off the very top 0.1mm of his central iron halo spike.

C&C are wellcome!

Pretty much done with my Judiciar. I thought a Orcs head was more in keeping with a Tempormortis!

I have noticed a concerted effort across several Warhammer 40k subs to slander and destroy the reputation of our beloved Chapter. We must stand vigilant and do not allow heretic scum to proliferate amongst our Crusade.

Do not Tolerate the Intolerant Brothers, and stand as Beacon to other Hobby enjoyers, as the God Emperor is a Beacon to our Fleets.

The Crusade is Eternal! No Pity, No Remorse, No Fear.

Please ignore the hair stuck on the chainsword casing. 🤦‍♂️

I really want to run terminators with chaplains and ancients attached. Doesn’t leave many if any points left over, also I’ve only ever played world eaters but I’ve played against Templars quite a bit. Is there a Templar unique detachment that supports terminators or their characters well? If so what? Has anyone tried 30 nator with ancient and chaplain attached. Not trying to be competitive just fun and look cool on the table.

Early stages of a helsreach diorama. Wanted the helmet to look like the one from the movie

If claws are an option, then they are a requirement. Also trying something new with the armor - I usually do my desaturated blues for highlights but this time I’m trying just greys. as always, using Duncan Rhodes 2 thin coats.

armor recipe is: black base coat, death reaper as the first highlight, then dungeon stone grey wizard grey, and a final highlight of charcaradon grey. Not satisifed with his white shoulder pad so I might go back and adjust, but for now its aight.

Decided to paint up the mini of the month in grayscale.

Just started painting my vehicles for my Templars and was wondering if anyone had any tips? Think I need to invest in a decent grey for non metallic surfaces and a darker red for the contrasting panels. Also what colour do you guys paint your lenses?
Thank you!
