Hey !

This time I want to show you the latest commission: Black Templars Army.
I painted it some days ago. Feel free to leave any comments, questions, etc ;-)

I do not know why but something is keeping me from truely likeing the army. Maybe its the heads the grey knigh termi heads look out of place to me. Some of the minis look like they where jus posed to get them going. IDK something about them is buggin me. Nice paint though!

The white is kinda off... not my favorite shade or technique you've got there. But the rest is really cool. Overall it still makes a great BT impact.

The army looks great, except the GK Termie heads. I've never been a fan of termie heads on normal marines, and vice versa.

I see where you are coming from here.

I really want to like them but some of the posing is reminiscent of the old 2nd edition, static "hero" poses, and it doesn't seem to work along side the much more dynamic poses.
And I'm not sure about the red, I think that's more of my personal taste though.
However, I do really like the paint chipping on the vehicles, especially the white panels.

I love it, I like that you've incorporated a fair bit of white and red into it. Offsets all the black in the army yet you can still identify them as templars easily.

The dread is the highlight for me.

Great stuff.

Other than the incorrect red pauldron boarder and the white helmets, not too shabby.

The helmets being white throws me, and the GK termi head looks proportional(and is a bigger thing for me than the helmet colors). Overall good, but I'd advise against GK termi heads on standard marine models in the future.

As a commission, I suppose that the red and withe was the client choice?

Really like the tanks.

I honestly don't mind the GK terminator heads. They make it look like the armor has a gorget which was common in 1500's style armor.

I also fething love Black Templars and love your painting, keep up the good work. I wish I could whip out stuff half as good as this.

Agreed, the white is a bit weird, but other than that, your models look awesome mate ;D

Agree with this. That dread looks scary as hell.

Nice army all over - always liked the Templars.

Agreed on the armour idea, but it looks so.....wrong
