The Dimaris Crusade

Recommended Posts

Hello guys! Let me introduce myself a little bit.

My name is Diz, iam 29 years and iam coming from Austria.

After a while thinking about presenting my crusade in an english speaking Forum, i decided :

What should go wrong tongue.png

So for all language issues iam deeply sorry smile.png

Iam into the hobby for about 15 years now. The first Models i collected have been Wood Elves, and i have to say that i have never played a Warhammer Fantasy game yet msn-wink.gif

After a while collecting a bunch of War Dancers and Dryads i explored Space Marines. I liked the Models really much... The armor... The Bolters... and so on...

So my first army has been Ultramarines. I collected about 3000Pts and then i found a chapter that i really felt into. I remember the White Dwarf for the 25th anniversary of GW. The Black Templars and the Codex Armageddon have been released.

I really liked the Fluff and the painting in it. Also the Emperors Champion Model really blew my mind!

So i decided to paint all my Ultramarines in a new style (most of them just with a black base coat and white shoulder pads)

As our gaming-group has become older, everyone decided to quit the hobby, and so nearly every army got sold on ebay.

After a break (i think 8 years) a friend of mine got me back into the hobby. So i started Black Templars again..... (also black base coat and done...)

There have been so many good BT army's around at that time(maybe you guys know them... The Barbarossa and the Kalman Crusade). So i got really disappointed with my painting Style.

So there are now (i guess) 3 years between, and iam at a point where i think i can paint black (and specially the BT's) in a style that really fits to them.

So i hope the wall of text is written in an readable language and you can enjoy some of my models smile.png

The white helmets were for sword brethren termies, but one of the white dwarf guys included it on their power armor sword brethren as well and his army was posted in white dwarf. Not sure if there is actual fluff to support that claim though. I personally like the white helmet look, but will probably reserve it for honor guard, or gold helmets...

Hey guys! smile.png thank you for that awesome feedback so far!

Very nice looking force. Why did you choose white helmets on the sternguard?


I choose white to make them a little bit more outstanding from the rest of the crusade.
Dont know if its correct, but as far as i can remember in the 4th edition codex (or armageddon?) they wrote that the BT veterans wear white helmets along with the terminator sword bretheren. (At this time there havent been regular sword bretheren)

The red cross red/ trim thing is also right if you take the newer dexes smile.png

I very much like your style of painting. It's very subdued and natural looking. Bravo brother and welcome to the Eternal Crusade!
