For the past month or so I have been working on converting about 2.5k of normal (slightly junky) Space Marines into Black Templars. I started with Templars, went round the table with pretty much everything else, and now I'm back for more.

I also want to do some stuff that I've never tried before with Marines which is Bike squads.



A simple conversion for my Meltagun wielders.



WIP shot of Castellan Griffith, since this shot I've magnetized his CC arm, but I'm not happy with his Power Sword arm so I'm going to build a new one before I post pics.



WIP Shot of the Chaplain I started last night

Chaplain needs a customized bike IMO. It'd be a shame if his looked like everyone else's.

I bought a Ravenwing starter box, so I have a lot of stuff to bling his bike out with. I only had one last bike for him to use, so I didn't want to try converting the bike itself.

I don't glue my riders, so I can always build a bigger and better bike for him.

I've used all the Assault Marine legs I have building my first two Crusader Squads, now I'm down to tactical legs. So I have ventured into re-posing instead of shelling out for pricey Assault legs.

First test:



Test Templar finished save for some detail-work, next to a regular Tactical Marine, and two more sets of legs I was working on today:

Other than some putty shaving and a Meltabomb, Brother Chaplain Hastus is pretty much done on the modeling front.
