Acebaur Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 The bulk of the shoulders come with arms already attached? Annoying...and why the backpack? Actually it's half of the them ;) That said, I don't think it's a big deal, they don't look too restrictive. Those pads and swords look amazing!

Firepower Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Hmm, they look stubby enough that chained wrists may fit. In previous pics, the knight helms looked rather large. I wonder how well they'll fit in the plastic torsos.Cool as they are, I don't trust resin weapons. Too fragile. If (more likely 'when') I buy this kit, it'll be for the torsos, shoulders and heads. There's a lot of potential for an awesome Honor Guard unit here. If power fists were worth a damn I'd use that one in a heartbeat. Hopefully the upgrade will be packaged with a set of legs and such, too, because I'm quite sick of buying two kits to make Templars Edited December 2, 2014 by Firepower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal_Roujakis Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 These are the upgrade parts so no legs, the actual SB kit comes with both and the legs have Templar icons too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I need a guarantee they'll be available by January 31st so I can justify buying some cheap thingy for a voucher :lol: Acebaur 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATemplar Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Since their website has come back up I'm assuming Chapterhouse Miniatures has managed to get the courts to allow them to sell stuff again. I've gotten some of their metal shoulder pads that are listed on their site as " studded pads". They make great left shoulder pads as they are studded and have chains wrapped across them with a small shield also. Great for sword brethern or any Templar brother you want to show some heraldry on. Converselly their knight shoulder pads have nothing Templar or knightly about them in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) I think you are referring to this one http://chapterhousestudios.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=85_86_111 That does look awesome. And yes chapterhouse resolved their issue and are now allowed to sell stuff again They also have this one that is chain lined http://chapterhousestudios.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=85_86_92 Edit: Spellcrow also has some helmets that look like they could work. http://www.spellcrow.com/space-knights-helmets-p-249.html Also badass Templar Storm Shields http://www.spellcrow.com/templars-heavy-large-shields-p-103.html and version two http://www.spellcrow.com/templars-heavy-large-shields-ver-p-114.html Edited December 3, 2014 by Acebaur Way1and 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I've always felt that Chapterhouse sculpts were a bit sloppy. It could just be their paint jobs, but the shapes still look kinda crude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be their paint jobs, but the shapes still look kinda crude. Yeah, agreed. More awesomeness from Spellcrow. Inquisition knight legs. http://www.spellcrow.com/inquisition-space-knights-legs-p-248.html Yeah, I know the name is geared towards GK, but the legs would actually look really good with Templar stuff. Tabard torsos. http://www.spellcrow.com/space-knights-torsos-with-tabards-p-207.html These I'm not sure about. They don't seem like they'd fit too well with SM stuff.

ThatOneMarshal Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm wondering if anyone has ever used the chapterhouse stormraven kit. Looks like a good way to make a stormeagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATemplar Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) The Chapterhouse pads I've used were the first one that Acebaur put the link up for. Their paint job on it is pretty crappy. As far as the sculpt for that particular one, it isn't any sloppier to clean up than any of the metal GW BT pads that I've got tons of. It just adds abit of variety to an army that shouldn't look all cookie cutter the same. I love those Spellcrow shields and know I'm going to have to order some. Also thinking that the new FW Imperial Fist Contemptor dred is a needed purchase to use as a venerable suit that's been around since our founding. It would justify leaving the fist on the chest and as it already has a cross on its left leg it wouldn't need much more Templar bling but one of those Spellcrow shields would look spiff on its shoulder.

Firepower Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Yeah, the new Fist Contemptor is sweet, but it's not quite a 'bit.' I have to agree with you on those chest pieces Ace. The head hole looks very shallow, for starters, and I've no idea if the back is suited for housing a backpack.

Marshal Rohr Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 FP, the arms with the pads attached are made for the combat shields so you can rotate them as desired. And all mark 3 helmets look huge on plastics because the mark 3 torso and legs are a good but larger than a normal marine model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acebaur Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 So I just picked up some loincloths and cloaks from Anvil Industries. The cloaks are amazeballs, they fit perfectly with the Space Marine back pieces. the loincloths are nice too fitting very nicely on SM sized waists. My only complaint is that the loincloths are a little small so be advised if you want to pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T14 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Obligatory purchase for me :)- The embossed shoulder pad are epic. Need 300 of those asap - Torsos can be fixed with etched brass easily. (but then so can vanilla mk3 torsos)- The laurels on the otherwise awesome helmets are somewhat of a downer, but they should come off without detroying vital detail.- the combat shields are a bit of a letdown tbh. Many whfb empire shields are superior sculpts and slightly larger.- Swords are a welcome addition to the existing bits box.-> The phalanx warder storm shields and associated power armour arms look inviting as well. Needs major scraping and etched brass overhaul to fix those shields, though.- also the phalanx warder power axes are sexy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 They're here! Aww yeah! Good thing my friend has a free shipping voucher from FW too!

Laurels aren't that big of a deal, unless you plan on buying this set like 10 times ;) Let us know how the sanding goes though The Combat shields are a nice change of pace IMO. And the whfb Empire shields that used to have the Templar option(the skull and cross) no longer exist as the Knightly Orders now have pre molded shields The swords will be great for various brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mattias Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think they will make lovely honourguard/sword brethren, but I'm not sure about the lack of tabards... It's frustrating as they are great apart from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 When Sigismund comes out... and that should be soon he will be the only one with a Tabard... before the Black Templars, Tabards and chaining weapons was only a Sigismund thing, the Imperial Fists Templars actually never did it, and they just have the Maltese Cross because apparently that was the personal heraldry of Rogal Dorn. Those armour were made with Horus Heresy in mind and NOT the 41st BT in mind... so it makes perfect sense for them to lack Tabards, Chains, and be equipped with Laurels... because they are meant to be the 1st Chapter of the Imperial Fists Legion, the best of the best of the best of the Imperial Fists... bar Sigismund himself... easily fixable though...
