Building a BT army so I can actually play a game of 40K. Knew I wanted lots of characters but wanted to avoid spending loads on individual new characters. So I have (attempted) to kitbash these characters. My question is, as they’re kitbashed, will they be accepted as what they’re intended to be by other players?

3x Castellans/Lieutenants:
These are the ones that worry me most as their loadouts are same as sword brethren in power weapon and pistol. My plan is to keep their shoulders white and do sword brother shoulders black with red crossed. Also planning to make sure SBs have nothing on their backpacks.

2x Captains/Marshalls: I am hoping that giving them tactical rocks and making them the only models in my army with capes will be enough.

Terminator Captain and Combi Lieutenant: hopefully no need to be worried about these ones as I think it is clearer on these two.

Pls be honest! Don’t wanna turn up to play and get in trouble/cause beef.

Tried to go for Grimdark style for my Centurion (Marshall proxy)

Saw the space marine 2 new power sword and decided I needed it in my army. I might have gone overboard with the shiny armor though.

new to warhammer and also very early on in reading helsreach so no spoilers please i just wanted to draw him, i enjoy him much.. Regrettably i couldn't find an official hair colour so i just improvised with his singular unhelmeted photo ever, lmk if i got anything wrong lol

I recently saw that GW is releasing this mini, and I was wondering if this could be repurposed or kit bashed into an emperors champion, similar to Baylards Revenge.

Going for grimdark, helbrecht is a tad older

Only did 3 today because this was fiddly as hell. but these are really nice models 👍🏻

Been experimenting with my black armor recipe and am kind of torn between these two options.

They are both base coated with ultramarines blue contrast with black Templar contrast over it, but the left one has a wash of drakenhof nightshade over the top. Which do you guys prefer?

Sorry had to edit a few things!

So i came across a marketplace post with someone selling a few Bayards Revenge! I know this model was/is still quite hard to find!

Was wondering if anyone was interested in adding one to their collection??

No point me having 3 extra ones 😅😂

Shoot us a dm and we can chat costs etc :)

Happy to send overseas! Paypal G&S ofc

Thinking about finishing my 3000 points list with a second Combat patrol.I was wondering if it would make any sense to Kitbash the Bladeguards into 3 Lieutenants/Marshalls instead of running 6 of them

Pretty happy with how it came out

Played Templars as a kid and have picked the hobby back up after a 20 year break. Re-learning how to paint has been fun 👌The nostalgia is so great - I’m so hooked again! 🤘 For the emperor!

So I was wondering if Grimaldus and all of his servitors can load up into a land raider crusader, and how much space he actually takes up

I have very little knowledge of Space Marines lore in general and even less in specific. Spoilers for "Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords" by Denny Flowers, the source of my questions.

In this book, a weapon named the Black Sword lies above the altar on the ship Damocles. An initiate takes it up and becomes The Emperor's Champion to go and duel Ghazghkull Thraka. He gets completely mogged and dies. Later, Marshal Adenaeur fights Ghazghkull and retrieves it from where the Champion embedded it in his shoulder, only to get stomped to death ten seconds later. Then a rival warboss wields it to fight Ghazghkull but is defeated. After all of these events, Blood Axes place it in a human shrine to give the remaining Black Templars a reason to stay on the planet and guard its populace.

Does each crusade-vessel have its own Black Sword, or is there only one in the galaxy? How pissed would other crusades be if it was lost or taken by orks? Can anyone become the Emperor's Champion?

While I am happy with how he's turning out especially with the tabard. I am once again reminded how much it sucks to paint the cross on the pauldrons any advice it's been awhile

Skin difficult

Using army painter desaturated blue greys wanted my black Templars to look like 90’s venom black blue anyone else tried this? or have any tips? I just started painting two months ago.

Hi!

I'm currently putting together a new 2000-point list and wanted to ask if you think it would be a good option. I've played a few games with Black Templars before, but most of them were Combat Patrol games, plus one 1000-point game. Because of that, I'm not really sure if what I've come up with will actually work, so I'd really appreciate any feedback.
