Ciler Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hello. Rumours of my demise have been somewhat exaggerated, but I have been away from my templars for a while admittedly. However, I have a game scheduled on Thursday that will involve 1500 pts of imperial knights (gone rogue obviously). ALthough it would be according to our tactical principles to charge them head along, I'm thinking it may not be effective so I'm turning to a shooty list which I will support with a funky combo I've seen played : devs + chapter banner + apothecary, in cover. Which means I needed a banner and the ancient on bike you may have seen on page 9 of this thread is still nowhere near completed, so i cobbled this fellow together : Any thoughts ? The banner is actually printed, doused in white glue and affixed to the surface of the banner flag. With a sufficient amount of glue, the paper softens enough to match the form of the flag. Then a bit of painting over (mostly the black so that they match) and... voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Vespasian Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 That idea for a paper banner... Its great. Just normal paper? Or special photography paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 That idea for a paper banner... Its great. Just normal paper? Or special photography paper? Plain old regular printer paper. Almost final result : - Oh and yes, just in case anyone wondered, the skull is there to prevent the haft from slipping, since the arm is magnetised and can rotate.

Ciler Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Editted above message with a less "heroic" angle that shows the actual banner a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Which parts of it are the actual paper? Is it everything inside the red kind of frame? Did you highlight the black folds over the paper or is all of that model? I am amazed by this. I have been wondering how I would get my crusade banner on the tabletop and this is the simplest way to do it I think. Also it looks amazing.

Not perfectly though so from some angles you can still see a slight ridge where the paper stops. And yes, I painted the black areas of the paper in the same (chaos) black as the rest of the model and did some highlights on the creases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Okay cool. I will try this definitely when I do a banner for my crusade. Which I will do at some point wether I use an ancient in my list or not. Banners are cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 So, I built this little guy almost two years ago and never got to get paint on him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 He does make for a nice rendtion of a cemobyte servitor now that he carries a sword with a proper hilt! (at least I always assumed the little dudes in Helbrechts image in our codex were cenobyte servitors... and I much preffered that look of them to the more classical servitor look of Grimaldus' relic bearers...) Perhaps he could use some technological mccubbins to complete that look, but don't ask me how one would add any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 So, some of ye might remember some of my earlier conversion/kitbash work, which I am slowly back in the process of finishing up. Part of the delay may of course be blamed to Tzeench's plots and schemes. Having said that I'm almost done (mostly bases to follow), so in the spirit of the rumour engine here's a teaser : Can you guess ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I guess a command squad on bikes. I credit this to my own deductive genius and not at all you making it obvious in any way :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The bikers look great, but the Ancient's standard would be better fitted to the bike, unless his standard doubles as a melee weapon. (I'm certain 4chan's 'Codex: Angry Marines' have standards "count as" power weapons.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Gotta love knights on steeds. The Chaplain is posed really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crovan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Love me some knights! I'll have to keep these guys in mind when I eventually do some. I especially like the apothecary's bits on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciler Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 In order to take full advantage of the new Vigilus formation and drop in storm shield point value, I am calling the Brethren ! The chainsword is magnetised at the wrist to allow swapping with a power weapon (based on target). Still need to add a cape but I think this fine fellow makes for a good first attempt. You can't really see it behind the shield but he's sporting one of our traditional tabards (trhe one with two ribbons that fits well on right-knee forward models)..

Marshal Mattias Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Excellent; all familiar bits, but put together in a way in which the movement flows nicely. I'd like to see a squad of these :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 The squad is coming, this is the test model. I'm hoping to find time today to build his cape. Edit : Now to cure for 24h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 So here's the fellow with a bit of paint on : - I tried to go for a power field/lightning effect on the shield. Does it work, should I extend it to the edges, or should I just repaint it black ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
