The idea behind these guys, is that they're from a world with a fealty/caste system, knights and what not, so their armor has an austere look to it, with little decoration and plain robes in the color of their ruling class (purple).

The pics are pretty big so I have them hosted on Photobucket.

Here's the marshall I converted from the AoBR Captain:

Here's him with some crusaders:

Back to the SM. Really good concept exectued well. The paintjob is done smoothly, if in need of a few minor bits (as everybody says "washes are your friends")
Some highlighting, or dry brushing would really bring out some of the detail

I really like the robed crusaders, those DA legs really have come in handy and they totally make the look go]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/811638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/811638.page GMT Re:Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus lol.

I already have a Salamander successor chapter called the Gila Knights that are orange and black (like the leezard).

Hmm. Iron Hospitalers...they've already got red crosses?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/811945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/811945.page GMT Re:Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus
Drybrushing is the way to go. The basics to it is you want 3 different shades of the same color. For you we'll do the following.

Base the model in black, dry brush dark chrome and then after it dries use a slightly lighter chrome color, then a light coat of shiny chrome. This does two things.
1. Adds depth.
2. Highlights raised areas.

Both of these are good.

Now for your purple. Again you start out with a dark purple, then put some white in it for the second coat, and then put some more white in for the third coat.

Onto the accent colors. You have used red. You need to shade this also. I'd go a dark red to a light red.

Your bases. If you have seen any of my posts on bases you will know that yours are naked. You only have rocks on them and they are painted a funny color. They don't look like ground. I suggest a different color and to add some bigger rocks on some and grass flocking on all of your bases. Make the bases just as good as you would the rest of the model.

I hope that helps. I'm not being mean. I just don't want people telling you that it's great when it's not. We should be here to help eachother become better painters. Not just say everyone paints great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/811993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/811993.page GMT Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus
As for their basing, that's GW sand...my pictures make it look like they're standing in cornmeal.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812014.page GMT Re:Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus

Urm ok, lets see where this is going

What? im sorry but you have highlighting completely wrong.
Prime black, Paint metals with dark colour then drybrush with a LIGHTER colour to leave the dark in the shadows and the lighter bits on the raised bits.
Then if the recesses arnt shadowed enough use watered down ink or washes to darken it further.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812205.page GMT Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812242.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812242.page GMT Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/812255.page GMT Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/814508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246560/814508.page GMT Black Templar Successors (as of yet unamed) plus bonus
