Black Templar with a medieval touch

[Eriekiels]

Hello there I want to share the pictures of my new project with you, I decided to stop my tallarn for a moment and do this army instead, but i will for sure go back to my tallarn

I want to give my black templars a used look and a dirty torn armor, in additional I will take a lot of parts of the bretonian knights.. my plan is to only have those heads in my marines, sorry paladins Also I had in mind to do a bike squad with lances which look more like a medieval cavalry.

Will do an army worth of 1500 points, so I can paint some terminators with the shields from forge world but I do not like the hammers I will try to give them flails instead.. I have something in my mind and will tell you when I know that it looks cool

So basicly I will have one bike squad, 2 infantry squads, one termi squad, and I will put in one laser predator to have a bit of anti-tank.

Here come my first part of the pics of the boys, I decided not to change the head of the champion cause I really like the original one, so he will be an outcast in the army since he has no true crusader helm as the rest of the army. The other one is a banner, I want ta have a banner in each squad cause I like the idea of a banner to be sanding till there is none there to pick it up again.

Here goes the champion

And here goes the Banner guy





Why I gave him a shield? Cause i think it looks kinda badass

[eltanko]

I like it, especially the shield, very "knighty"!! nice banner aswell.

Nice work, I like the theme - and you've got quite a nice white going there - not too thick or grainy as is often the trouble. Keep it up!

[Eriekiels]

Got some pictures from both of them together too had trouble so i have post them in another form sorry about that

[swifty2]

Nice work mate, the white's come out really nice, which is a problem for a lot of people, and the standard looks really cool with the bretonian parts.

very nice, i like what you have done with the Knights head, it was what i had planned, but i ducked out of doing that.

[Eriekiels]

Thanks to all for the kind words

@ pookie : Luckily i had the idea a while back so i order alor then will use alot of the black coach fire things too.. had all that ordered like a month before they stoped doing it lucky me

The Banner guy looks good, the bullet holes in the shields are a nice touch.

[Eriekiels]

I am happy too how they turned out, and that the white is so smooth. Takes alot of going over to get it that way ^^

[Eriekiels]

Finished my first Neophyte today

I like his helmet.

Holy freaking greatest (GW scale) space marines ive ever seen! Not to be rude to anybody else, but that is possibly one of the single greatest ideas ever! It almost makes me want to drop my guard army and buy a black templar one! The only problem is that I've put too much love into my guard army. That doesnt rule out using fantasy bits in future additions. Great stuff dude. You motivate me.

Looking ace dude, I really wish I had done my templars like this.

[Eriekiels]

Thank you very much guys!! Will try to keep paint one guy each day got one ready today to just have to take the picture give me 10 mins

[pookie]

Neophyte looks good, tho thats one big world he's in

how did you find attaching his head to the body? the neck on those heads seems like it would need to be trimmed down a bit, does it? ( im talking about before you built/painted that one)

[Eriekiels]

@ pookie: No not really the head was easy to place on the scout body.. the knight helms where the ones that took alot of cutting


yes it is a big world but i get a really good lightning there

[Eriekiels]

Ok well here are the pics from today unfortunatly the sun was pretty down doday so the light is not that good will post new ones tomorrow

I love how this guy turned out, he is mister badass

[arget8]

Good work man, I'm definately liking what I'm seeing. Keep it up.
