Holy crap I love that helmet!

**firepower**

Thanks much

Just realized I forgot to post pics of these guys. They were made immediately after the 4 maul guys.

**Reality-Torrent**

Well done sir!

**SickSix**

Wow, BT aren't my thing but you have done a great job here. I like how muted the white is. Great looking army.

**firepower**

Just finished up these three nightmares:

Pod 1:

Pod 2:

Pod 3:

**Desubot**

I really like the scorch pattern on your drop pod. looks really good.

**firepower**

Thanks much Desu. The scorching was surprisingly easy to do once I figured out a method, but ludicrously time consuming. There is a whole lot of surface area on three drop pods

From the time I clipped them off the sprue to completion, the total hours I spent on these things is around triple digits...

**Talizvar**

I believe it, I was rather surprised how much those darn things take to build, never mind paint.
Did you paint partially unassembled first?

**firepower**

Doors, platforms, fins and console-thingies were all separately painted.

Just the total time I spent putting on masking tape for airbrushing is probably around 15 hours altogether. The pile of tape was about the size of a softball in the end.

**lipsdapips**

What a great looking force. Lovely and personal! The High Marshall is awesome

**firepower**

Thanks very much, and likewise. I'd never seen your army before. If only I were so productive.

**firepower**

So I decided my Champion, one of the first Templars I ever painted, was in need of a fresh touch. That was...Christmas, I think. Then I finally got around to doing it today.

First shot at black marble for the sword. I think I'm satisfied.

**Cello**

Amazing!

**darkstar6783**

Greetings firepower, Your Black Templar's are a visual treat to see!

Thank You so much for sharing! :-)

**firepower**

Thanks kindly to the both of you.

Hopefully I'll have my 2 Ironclads done and ready to share in the immediate future as well.

**The_Unhinged_Painter**

Some really great looking models there man! I bet it looks awesome on the table top

**firepower**

Painted this guy a while back, but he needed a fresh coat, so here's Papa G:

Decided to just use zenithal airbrush to highlight the black. It's a touch washed out in the photo though

**firepower**

One of two dreads I've had on my to do list for ages. Arms are magnetized, his brother is almost done, but I'm out of time for the night and wanted to get in a pic. He's waited long enough to earn that much

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Always love seeing Templars. Your dreadnought looks fantastic.

**firepower**

Alright, finished the second one, and got more angles of the first:

And Number 2:

**Desubot**

I quite like that skull bucket

**ghostmaker**

Very nice!

**IFC_Casting**

I'm jealous of those drop pods. The hazard stripes and checks are so well done.

**firepower**

Thanks kindly folks. I admit I was kinda worried the 'bucket' would end up looking like a grimdark Silly Hat.

Nothing wrong with a bit of GrimsillyTM.

Only if that's what you are going for.

Maybe, but it really fits with Black Templars and their methods.

I love it.

**Kajaki War Pig**

Excellent work and thread! It's an absolute pleasure to see a collection painted this well on here!

**firepower**

Thanks kindly

**Stevefamine**

Looking sharp!
