Phantomzero17 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So I started to get the itch to paint something else and after lurking here for awhile I finally asked a few weeks ago where to start out if one wanted to paint the Emperor's finest. I figured I'd start out maybe in January or February but the call ended up being too tempting. So here I am with the beginnings of a new crusade. Just a rhino, some upgrade bits, and a tac box but I'm excited to get started and join those who all ready stand proud in these hallowed halls. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd9/Phantomzero17/Army%20painter/40k/1113141505.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewChristlieb Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I saw something similar on Evilbay I almost picked up, but I'm already knee deep in plastic I need to paint! :P That will make a great jumping off point for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 A Crusader Squad in a Rhino, as good a place as any to begin your Zealous Crusade. I would rather them be in a LRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis the next thing on my list brother. Right after I figure out my HQ choice. I saw something similar on Evilbay I almost picked up, but I'm already knee deep in plastic I need to paint! That will make a great jumping off point for you! TBH it was spotting this up for $60 on Ebay that sprung me onto starting my crusade sooner rather then later.

Metic Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Chaplains are a solid choice for Crusaders in a LRC. Mine always performs well. And greatly increases the effectiveness of the unit he is with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Helbrecht baby. Chaplains are decent squad buffers (if overpriced), but make for lousy Warlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I don't know FP, I have a rather notorious Warlord Terminator Chaplain... which always gets the Immovable Object Trait. Rather useful because he gets It Will Not Die and he's remarkable when doing Invuln. Saves... But High Marshal Helbrecht ofcourse takes top cake... now if only he had Orbital Bombardment...

Phantomzero17 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 While I'm waiting on a reply for as to how it is you simulate Frame Relay in a virtual environment I figured I'd do some work on this Crusade. Been a bit busier then originally anticipated but my case study is due on the 10th so I'll pray for forgiveness and get the majority of the work done after that point probably. So I just wanted to post that I think I've decided on a theme for the force. Varadon. Some clean up of course needs to be done on the rhino and as always I really need to invest in a better camera. I'm wanting to form a core BT list to play as pure BT but any supplemental models I think I'm going to raid my left over tactical bits / Stormclaw box for. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd9/Phantomzero17/Army%20painter/40k/1119141358.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Blurry pictures means I can't nitpick. No nitpicking means a sad Firepower. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekman Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Blurry pictures means I can't nitpick. No nitpicking means a sad Firepower. It's okay FP, there will be others to nitpick. And or give a paddling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I spy a Storm Talon! Got the sudden image of a Rhino blasting across a desert with a Storm Talon above and behind. Loads of dust kicked up. Oh, and a big Ork shouting " Weez guna get a fite ladz, it's da black wunz!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantomzero17 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Praise the Omnissiah! 01100001011011100110010000100000011101000110100001100101001000000100011101101111011001000010110101000101011011010111000001100101011100100110111101110010 I passed my case study last night hooking up routers, switches, web servers, and all that so I took more time to paint my starting Templars this morning. Feels good now I can focus more on painting and studying for the final and then my cert exam. So after about 30 minutes of fiddling with the position of my desk lamp, and the blinds on my window I think these photos will be a little less blurry. Humbly done so I can be righteously nitpicked. Though fair warning as of taking the photos I realized I didn't remove the mold lines on the neophytes (and haven't decided on what heads I want to use) or the lone powerfist. I'll do penance for it. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd9/Phantomzero17/Army%20painter/40k/Templar4.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd9/Phantomzero17/Army%20painter/40k/Templar3.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd9/Phantomzero17/Army%20painter/40k/Templar2.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd9/Phantomzero17/Army%20painter/40k/Templar1.jpg As it turns out I forgot to order pure white during my last Reaper purchase leaving me with GW ceramite white over white primer for the shoulder pads and the aquillas. And while I liked ceramite white on the vehicle it just doesn't go on as smoothly as the reaper paints do which leaves me extremely dissatisfied with how my pads over all came out. When I get some pure white i'm going to go back over them and see if I can smooth them out and have a consistent white across the whole surface. And of course touch up the trim and some other areas I'm noticing now that have little white flecks on them with some Pure Black. I did like my attempt at "burning" the melta though. Not sure how well it can be seen in photo but its bronzed into purple, black, then leadbelcher as it get further from the end of the barrel. Any cloth was painted how the shoulders are then hit with a thinned creamy ivory as I thought it would look better. I'll leave that up to suggestion.
