Hi Dakka, I have already started a thread before on my 10,000pts+ Templar army that i am currently working on. I thought id wack a new thread up i the correct place being the painting showcase area and with hat ive taken some new photos of my templar that ive painted so far including a section of initiates that havent been shown yet.

If you can keep the comments flyin on ideas for conversion and stuff that would be cool, im actually very interested to hear if anybody has got some good ideas on Neophyte conversions...Peace out.

First up the Marshall for Fighting Company Turantulas. Youve all seen him b4 but beter pics now, hopefully to your likeng its the best i reckon my camera can do.

Lazarus

shweet

Next is the Castellans tha have already been posted. I havent made the third Castellan yet as im trying to come up with somethin awesome with a hood and ties in with the marshal above....Ideas anyone?

Anyways heres the other two FC Castellans not named yet.

Next is my Emperors champion, i call him diarteas.

You've got some lovely Templars and great talent.

I notice the use of St Celestine's cloak on that Champion.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks very much and yeah i know the capes being used alot these days but it doesnt stop it from being the coolest thing you could do to an emperors champion. Thanks again

Next the big Venerable Dread and im waiting on a defiler parts from a mate to fatten the legs alittle.

a couple of closeup pics of my first painted assualt crusaders. Theres an apothecary to jion them next week.

last for now is my first terminator that ive painted, First of many. Im currently in the middle of converting and painting the other four for the squad, This squad along with 3 more will be the only ones without sword brethren robes and hoods.

I also finished a squad of Initiates today but i wasnt ganna show them till i finished Neophytes to go withem but screw it. First pic is my guys and second is a pic i found on the web of some IG guys which im ganna base my Neophytes off

A 10,000+ points army painted to this excellent standard is simply too mind blowing for me! Keep it up!

These are amazing, I can't wait to see what's next!

Really nice emperors champion, you've made a great straight off model an even greater one.

That's a nice Emperor's Champion. Good painting too!

My thoughts exactly

I love these!!!! They are simple in their look (although im sure they are far from it in creation) and that's what is so wonderful about them. Nothing looks forced to look awesome! They just ARE. I especially love the initiate holding his helmet and with the banner and the assault guy with two chainswords (he REALLY wants to kill stuff i guess haha).

AWESOME!!!

The more Black Templar i see, the more I want to have an army of em! I may just be a convert yet! haha. They always were my favorite chapter besides Dark Angels (to be honest, they are tied haha).

thanks alot Varden V2 for the comments, im not quite sure on which initiate your Talking about holding the helmet...theres one about to throw a holy orb of Antioch that might be what you mean? Anyho thanks again for your Kind words.

Interesting to search for neophytes out of the box. Certainly, that is the way to go, instead of taking the obvious scout models. Scouts, BTs don't even have scouts... Superb and well thought out plan there thedevilgunner.

im not to hot on templars but these are the best ones ive ever seen

especially the converted lord marshal

great work

As promised the next termi finished, looks exactly how i wanted it to, in fact im ganna be doing alot more weapons on chains coz it turned out so good.

Let me know what you think dakka.

thanks alot Varden V2 for the comments, im not quite sure on which initiate your Talking about holding the helmet...theres one about to throw a holy orb of Antioch that might be what you mean? Anyho thanks again for your Kind words.

Oh, you are right. Doi! It is a holy hand grenade (first though shalt count to three, no more, no less ). I was also talking about the guy with the mustache and the banner. It looked like a hand with a helmet at first glance. I see it as a power fist now? The image I am getting is a ittle out of focus there. ANYWHO, it looks awesome and I love the facial hair haha.

and in terms of that new terminator i say awesome! 0.o I love the red checkered pattern. Very medieval and knightly. I too wonder why nobody uses as many chain weapons such as flails, maces, etc for Black Templar. They are so knightly haha. Awesome stuff!

-VardenV2

While I love them all, the Champion really does stand out in my eyes! He's beautiful!

Now THAT'S awesome!

wow thats a fething sweet looking army. On average how much time do you spend painting each model?

Those are pretty spectacular figures thedevilgunner. That venerable dread is particularly fantastic.

thanks guys for your comments and im so with you VardenV2 there should be heaps more chain weapons for BT maybe they might release some in the next codex update.

An answer on your question ironsilence on average a group of three initiates will take 5 hours, The Lord marshall took 11 hrs, the Castellans 4 hrs, the champion about 14hrs bitch to paint that one, and the first terminator took 8hrs, the second terminator only 6hrs coz i took away the grey shading stages on the black armour.

...
Hello Mr Awesome how are you?
Seriously awesome work.
Keep going.

HAHA thanks i will...

Another quick one, i was looking through some pictures for my next terminator build and found that i just had to have some marnius calgar looking weaponry on my Lord Marshall so here it is my fix to the model only took 15 mins and his now even more kickass but i think not to overdone.
