I want to share some pictures of my miniatures. I start with my only actually playable army, the Crimson Templars.


Standard Battle-Brother colour scheme


Veteran colour scheme



Now to the actual models.

Tactical squad


Combat squad led by a Veteran Sergeant


Combat squad led by a Brother-Corporal


Rhino and land speeder


Lieutenant


Terminators



Scouts with some retro fashion


My marines are slightly biggerised. I think they work well enough if you assume a marine to be about seven feet tall.

Very impressive! Your painting and converting skills are amazing, could we possibly see some wip pics? Also; subscribed!

Agreed- Consider me subscribed.

Did you draw the initial pictures? They look fantastic. I like the crosses on the shins and extra details.

I also like that your painting style looks JUST like the pictures. It's very unique- I really like the grit and feel of what you've done. WIP please, or just plain more!

Really beautiful work. I'm blown away by the paintjobs. You've achieved a fantastic degree of "realism" in our silly world of toy soldiers.

Great job all around. Curious though... isn't there already a space marine army called the red templars with a similar color scheme?

Yea... there are... [url]http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Red_Templars[url]

Just nowhere near as cool as Crimson's.

Great job on these! I love your conversion work and painting. The Lieutenant is especially awesome.

So nice, I would love a blow by blow account of how you painted these.

Very, very cool. Amazing paintjob.

A marvelous miniatures! I'm kinda fan of such paint scheme for obvious reason и and I envy your style
And yes, it will be nice to see some WIP pics.

This is the best Space Marine paint job I've ever seen! Well, the one I like the most that is! Just something about what you did makes them all individual marines of their own right instead of just Space Marines in an army.

Very cool sir!

I like that you've done so much more than just Red painted Black Templars. Kudos on your efforts here, lots of little details. Whats left to do on them?

Looking great!! Would also like to see some WIP pics when you have a chance.

Yes I did. I wanted to make Index Astartes style colour scheme illos, but I did not like any of the templates I found on net, so I drew my own from scratch.

By the way, can you describe, please, how do you paint this red armour?

Very nice indeed.

Oh right, this was the WIP section of the board. Here are some WIP pictures then.

Assault Marines.

I decided not to use standard assault marine chest pieces that have that strange harness. Presumably the jump packs are bolted on the armour, so no additional harness should be needed.
Also, tactical marines hold their bolters on their chests, so the breastplate is only partly visible. Assault marines are a good opportunity to display cool looking chest pieces. For this reason many of these sport breastplates from the Death Company set.

Captain of the Fourth Company

My current captain is a Lieutenant* fluff-wise, but this chap will be a proper Captain, and thus will have the best and most expensive gear available. He will be a fully kitted commander with all the bells and whistles, while the Lieutenant remains as a cheaper HQ for smaller games. I wanted the artificer armour really to look different from the normal power armour, so I used terminator legs (and lots of green stuff.)

* And yes, I know that Marines do not normally have Lieutenants, but they really should (And they did in RT era.)
Crimson Templars have two Lieutenants for each Company, allowing the Company to be spit into multiple strike forces, and still have an officer in charge.


Then some Imperial Guard

Assortment of various command personnel.

Vox Operator, Commissar, Standard Bearer, Drummer (?), Combat Surgeon (medic) and another Vox Operator.

Random IG


Penal Legion


Inquisitors

There are Coteaz and Ironhand Straken counts-as, respectively.


We'll see if any of these will ever be finished. I love converting, but painting not so much, so I have piles and piles of unfinished projects.

Impressive looking models, kudos!

Wow these look great! Very excellent conversions, cant wait to see those guardsmen painted

Wow, your skills are amazing. I really wish I had skills such as your own. I will be watching this thread and hopefully learning something from your work.

Why am I not subscribed to this?
I'll fix that. Your work here is absolutely amazing!

Yet again more amazing models! Can't wait to see the count-as Straken painted; he is epic!

Really cool marines. I am repainting all my marines to a scheme very close to that, would love a short tutorial on the red (specially the highlights)

Straken is looking insane

I love your pantingstyle and the weathering & battledamage

Amazing looking Marines! How did you enlarged the bodies? The result looks really subtle, I would like to try that myself

Awesome. Love them!

Nice!

Wow! Excellent work here, especially the conversions that you have done. I'm eagerly anticipating the afor promised WIP pics, as I've been trying to figure out what things are bits and what is sculpted.

Keep up the great work! Subbed for sure!
