Decided to start yet another army and it came down to the black templars partly because i have the codex already

here are some some images of my test marine finally worked out how to use my camera here we go:

heres another marine quite happy with how he came out

**IronSnake**

Looks good! Keep going.

**menziez**

Your highlights are really nice, though I dont usually highlight the edge of the shoulder pad. I usually do a thin highlight inside it

**Great White**

Very nice especially doing the white on the shoulders

**joeydude123**

Cheers for the comments guys

so when highlighting inside the shoulder pad would you use light grey? ive never been a fan of highlighting marine shouder pads its just become a habit now when i do highlight

**Deathshead420**

Looks really good , some transfers and your goor to go.

**Akroma06**

Looking good. Get a transfer onto those pads and he'll look really good then. Like the white you got on the shoulder pads. A light grey on top of the black then white? Oh and those highlights actually look good. More than anything it helps break up the black.

**joeydude123**

the shoulder pads were done with a mix of black and fortress grey as the basecoat, then i did a layer of just fortress grey and then finally i did the white. The white was watered down so i didnt get the brush marks on the shoulder pads its difficult to get the right ratio with white and water took me a while to get the right mix

**menziez**

Unfortunately you can't highlight white, it's just not possible. I actually made the shoulder pads a lighter grey, then added the white highlight, then added a transfer then added battle damage onto it. I wouldn't highlight with grey on white, it wouldn't seem very realistic in that particular part.

But it's your model, and I think it looks great!

**joeydude123**

Thankyou i was just interested in how ud go about highlighting white lol ive always gone for the traditional look with my models i should really experiment with colours more

**joeydude123**

Here are the frinished marines didnt do transfers so i did the design by hand not the best but it looks ok

**WillyBRags**

Looks fine to me...I thought they were decals before I read what you said =p...it's a pain painting black templars for sure...sadly I have a larger urge to paint HQs more than troops lol

Anyways...very nice job =)

**joeydude123**
