This is for my Black Templars army and is probably my favorite Games Workshop sculpt.

I based him on a hirst art molds stair bit. I took another bit and broke it into pieces for the rubble effect.

Very nice model, you did a nice job on the gold and the cloth in front of the legs. The holes in the gun throw it off though, they are a little miss matched.

very clean very sexy !!

Yeah, I had problems drilling the holes on this one. I think my drill bit is worn. On the table, it isn't nearly as noticable. Unfortunately, in this picture, it's in your face!

Ah, well.

Awesome work. The parchment, skull and details are all great. I'd love to see more of your BT stuff if you have it on the site.

Interesting choice for red parchment on the purity seals. Why did you choose that? Contrast?

I also think this is one of the best sculpts GW currently has. You have done a remarkable job on it.

My suggestions (should I be so gauche as to suggest improvements to a paintjob I myself am incapable of executing) would be:

Use the next size up dremel bit in a manual pin vise and enlarge the holes in the bolter, taking care to start offcenter. If the holes are sufficiently large, it's difficult to see that they are off.

The only other suggestion I could make would be to perhaps wash the skull (but not the eyes). It seems overmuch white.

How are you liking the Hirst Arts kit? I'm thinking about getting some.

@ ouze: I like the hirst arts very much. I've made the 4" round tower, and am working on 2 larger terrain pieces now. The drawback is the number of castings it takes to do a medium to large piece of terrain and the weight of the terrain. But the detail is wonderful. I have pictures of a simple piece I made with left-over bits in my Random Black Templar thread, which I posted the same time as this one.

Also @ Ouze: I might take another attempt at the barrels before I finish with a matte coat. It's been raining lately, so I haven't been able to spray it. I'll post again if/when I fix it.

@ Cheese Elemental: If you go to my gallery here, I have a few more of my Black Templars, including a jump pack chaplain, and some others. My photography has been getting better, but some of my earlier works show poor detail with the camera.

@em_en: I've been using red on my Black Templar purity seals mainly for the contrast. If I were painting practically any other color but black as the primary color, then I'd make them look like my parchment scrolls.

Thanks for the feedback, guys and gals!

Such a nice model to paint isn't it? I love it. You've done a very clean job of it too.

Looking awsome! Any chance we could get an angled pic from the top back to see the armour there? Looks like theres a paper and a purity seal there? Its hard to tell.

Yeah. Probably not tonight as it's game night. But I should have time on Wednesday to take another picture.

Wow! I love the base on this model, i have this fig myself its one of my fav GW figs out there right now! truthfully when i first looked at your pics, i did not even notice the red purity seals! The fit in so well and with such good contrast that i didn't even see them! Awesome job!

OK, fixed the terminator chaplain's gun. Now, the barrels aren't cross-eyed!

Amazing. Simply Amazing!

awesome!

everyones seen this model eighty thousand times at least...



...and it never gets old...

nice paint on an awesome model...

Great modle but just noticed one thing, the basing makes it like taller than a dread so anyone in the battlefield can shoot him! =))))))))))))

put him in a squad of termies or have him drop in so he gets right into the thick of things, and doesn't have to worry about being shot at. or stick him in a LR with those termies.....

Crisp, good stuff. Congratulations! Did you wash the black armour after highlighting it? I've a hard time highlitning black this neat myself.

I did use wash of Badab black on some of the smoother areas. But mostly, the black somes from the dupli-color acrylic enamel auto primer. Any spots I missed with the spray primer, I touched up with Reaper Master Series Black, watered-down.

Really nice model. Good, clean and crisp painting.

One thing though, your model might get hit more if you have it on a higher base, TLOS might mess with you on the table.

Wow great job, and great pic. Cheers

as far as TLOS is concerned, with regards to this one particular figure, it should be something you discuss with your opponent before you start playing in a casual game. Tourie rules you should talk to tourie organizer/judge(s) and then make clear rulings before you start each match.
