paolo1023 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I know i already have an ongoing topic here but i felt as if i should start another because the other had both old and new armies and the wrong title etc... ANYWAY, i am nearly at 2000 points of my "Crimson Templars", just a predator to go (Which i should be able to get in the next couple of weeks) Enough talking, onto the pics! (Please Beware! Here lies bad photos!)

Codicier Lucion Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I've seen better chapters but I do like the attention to detail on these models. The addition of power fields on the terminator's fists and scripture added to vehicles and weapons is a nice characterising element in the force. I especially liked the battle damage added to the tanks. Heh, nice name as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliGn Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I like 'em the only thing I'd change would be red seals on the chaplain, it would tie him in better, that#s all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 @Codicier Lucion: By "Better Chapters" I assume you mean colour schemes. In which case you are correct but I aimed for a scheme that would be relatively easy to paint and look good as an army, the table top. @MaliGn: Thank you. The purity seals on the chaplain are blue because all the seals on the regular marines are blue as well, so they do tie him in a bit. Also, its not amazingly clear in the photos, but his left shoulder pad is red with the maltese cross on to tie him in further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case you are correct but I aimed for a scheme that would be relatively easy to paint and look good as an army, the table top. Probably, I can't quite remember what I meant with that but it was most likely commenting upon the colour scheme. Mind if I ask what mixtures paints you use for their base colours?

paolo1023 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 I don't do paint mixing... The red is mechrite red, then a wash of madam black then a drybrush of blood red. The black is simply chaos black... EDIT Just read what you said and realised you meant the bases not the base colours, my bad The bases are khemri brown, overbrushed deneb stone the drybrushed skull White.

paolo1023 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Double Post :lol: Ah well, while I was waiting for my predator to be delivered I put this guy together: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000859.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000860.jpg It's a replacement Marshal! I'm sick of the fact that the marshal I have at the moment only has a bolter which he never uses because he is either in a rhino or about to assault and doesn't get the extra attacks in CC because of the bolter...So, to solve this problem, I made this guy out of a couple of sanguinary guard bits and a few other things I had lying around. Pretty happy with him but if you guys see anything that's missing let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Torch. Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Love the poses on the sergeants! How did you paint the battle damage on your Vindicators siege shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thank you! The battle damage is done by getting one the sponge squares from the blister packs, folding it in half, then dipping it in a bit of your chosen paint (in this case, khemri brown followed by dheneb stone), wiping of the excess (much like you would if you were drybrushing it on) and then dragging it across the tank. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Torch. Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 That picture just made me buy 2 Vindicators. :) Thanks for the tip, I'm thinking of doing some similar stuff on my Landraider. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Alaric Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 very impressive painting skills man. so is this a "break off" chapter from the black templars? lol being a templar player myself i was just curious. i think the addition of the pp on the marshal to add a cc attack was a good decision, and to boot it's a sick looking model man. are those legs of an assault marine? to get the whole "running" look everyone likes in cc oriented troops?

Slyfox1990 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Really nice man. I had an army by the name of Crimson Knights a while back which looked very similar to this. Sadly now they are being repainted to more usual BT colours. Needless to say your models look real nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks for the very kind comments! The legs of the marshal are from the sanguinary guard with the blood drops shaved off. (same with the sword). The crimson templars aren't a BT successor because apparently the BTs don't have successors. Therefore they are an IF successor chapter that are fleet based and crusade in similar ways to the BTs. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Two image updates in one day! Something must be wrong with me... http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000863.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000864.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000865.jpg I'm very happy with this guy considering the time i took to paint it. About 4 1/2 to 5 hours! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 It's been a little while since my last post (took a lot longer for the predator to arive than i thought) but here is the milestone model, a predator/rhino! As a Rhino: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000873.jpg As a Destructor: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000875.jpg As a Annihilator: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000876.jpg Also I painted this guy while I was waiting for the predator to arrive. I am really not happy with this guy. This is about the fifth time I painted him and I still can't get it to look right. It seems to be that no matter what I do the paint always ends up being too thick! http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000866.jpg I apologise...

Brother Cambrius Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Love the work you've done on these guys, a simple colour scheme done to an excellent standard! Thought I'd do this for you in case you ever wanted to post your chapter in the LIBER forums or submit these guys to Philip S.'s 1000 Chapter Gallery. Keep it up bro! :tu: Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Well it's been a while (Holiday B) ) but I'm back! I have decided that the next stop on the Crimson Templar's journey is the big 3000 point mark. To get the there I need to paint (and buy :D ) 5 assault terminators, a marshal in terminator armour, a land raider crusader, a land speeder typhoon, and another 9 marines with bolters. ANYWAY onto the bit that everybody likes, THE PICS: 10 man squad of marines (5 of which were you will have already seen in the first post of the topic) http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000915.jpg I also got bored one day and built and painted this guy: http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000911.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000913.jpg http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000914.jpg And I have also got this test guy done for the Assault Terminators http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000917.jpg And a close up of the power effect on the guys hammer (Very very very happy with how this turned out http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/paolo_049/Black%20Templars/P1000920.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
