Subscrbed! Epic thread with epic mini's, really great work!

Oh and Finnlock, You've given me an idea with your RL templar, going to try freehand some little imp eagles and templar symbols on my pads / scrolls or something,. woo

Nice - might try and take a leaf from your book and use more highlights - usually rely on washes to much. I just started painting after a ten year lapse too. amazing how a little maturity improves painting technique. I'm getting a little bundle of old school space marines (corvus 'beakies') off ebay soon - will have a look at the same tutorial you used. Thankyou, more power to your painting arm

Very swish mate. Those boys are the mutt's!!!! Am an avid Templarite myself and mine don't look half that good :(

WOW.......

This thread and the epicness it has bestoyed upon me has re-kindled my love of the black and white crusaders ^^

Oh, and pardon my idiodicy, I'm sure you've allready told us which video you watched to paint your Templars, but could you tell us again?
Some of us *me* are kinda slowed and and can't find stuff like that to save our *my* lives ^^

Oh, and I just thought that i would say that i too prefer the more dramatic highlighting, it realy makes eveything stand out, and would look perfect on the table.

^^

Tempblack - Still looking good, from what I've found out for you, Cell-shading is the art of colouring in a non-photorealistic fashion. For animations it is used to produce a hand-drawn style that mimics that of comics and graphic novels.

Thanks guys, it's surprisingly motivating to keep me painting with the nice comments

Lazzurus - I watched a bunch of Lbursly "awesome paint job" vids. I nearly started pumping out imperial fists as he paints a really nice looking one. but there's a certain draw to the knightly feel of the templars I couldnt resist His video of the black templar does fairly light highlighting, but you can substitute some of the other chapters he paints just with greys

also saw a fellow dakkadakka guy do a really cool looking templar terminator using a normal marine head and tabard chestpiece from the upgrade kit which was really helpful. If i can find the thread i'll post it up (I think it's book marked at work or on my ipad ) that pretty much guided most of the style I did

let me look around

lol, I actualy watched the BT vid today without realising that it was the one you watched ^^


And the models REALY do look awesome....can't wait to see more ^^

I love the highlighting, it really makes the models stand out, i think you are doing great

I've just done the same after a decade long haitus! Yours look fantastic, man! Keep it up!

Not alot done last week - finished my sternguard model (pics to follow)

also did some testing with some skin-heads! Havent decided whether i'll use them yet (or what models to put them on)

have a couple of CCW/BP guys without heads i'm about to paint that may adopt them

more updates soon!

beautiful!

Amazing models. I love the extreme highlights. I use the same style.

Really cool!
