Marshal Arthur Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Brothers I decided some of my hqs could use a little touch up so I've redone Marshal Arthur, the Emperor's Champion, and Castellan Lancelot. In the case of Arthur I gave him a new and more interesting base with a more dynamic pose, and a shiny new helmet. My champion got a new head from the Horus Heresy Imperial Fist Templar kit and since his reliquary kept breaking off his backpack I gave him some candles instead. For Lancelot I decided the crest was indeed not very knightly and instead gave him a more chivalrous Templar head. I also added more varied flock to all my models but don't want to retake all their pictures quite yet.

Marshal Arthur Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Woohoo, another Crown of Crosses. Came out pretty well :) Thank you! And yeah I shamelessly stole the crown idea from another Crusade, Gaga. But you know what they say, it’s the greatest form of ZEALOTRY! Or was it flattery?

Firepower Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) T'was my design originally, for a piece by the great Greyall http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/363/b/0/black_templars___high_marshall_ludoldus_by_greyall-d5pjvt9.jpg I'm always delighted to see another one pop up.

Marshal Arthur Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Well you came up with a great design. It fits the Templar aesthetic so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawklynn Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Now I have to steal this idea. Also, I now have a new picture to color at work! Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Which red do you used for the weapons? Normally I dont like that so much but your army have a good color concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Arthur Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 It’s cavalry brown from Vallejo. I usually do a thin coat of carroburg crimson wash over top and then pick out the edges in Vallejo vermillion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Arthur Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Sadly I’ve been forced to retire my templar dive, I swear I have never rolled so many ones in my life. I played two games last weekend against my friend’s Primaris and admech armies. The first game I had a minor defeat and while using those templar dice I must have missed over half of my heavy weapon shots, failing to bring down those armiger knights before they reduced my stormraben to slag. The second game I switched to some green dice I use with my seraphon in AoS and my god I did so much better and utterly crushed him. The bit of good news in it all, however, is that my hammernators more than proved their worth in both games. In the first game they avenged my stormraven and destroyed both knights before soaking up all the fire his army could throw at me. In the second game they slaughtered a couple Intercessors squads, killed his filthy Primaris librarian, and went toe to with his redemptor before being emergency teleported back to my line to protect my marshal. In that second game they only took a single casualty. So long story short my dice failed me but where my long range was unreliable throwing heavily armored marines with giant hammers at the enemy proved extremely effective. And really isn’t that what being a templar is all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawklynn Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 When all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail. Vindictive dice have ruined many a game (from all across the gaming spectrum) for me in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_K Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Sorry to hear about your bad beats. Love the crusade though! Nice use of colors. I've always been a fan of red weapon casings just to break up the color scheme a bit. Everything about your Marines is super zealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Arthur Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks, I tried to make them as zealous as possible and no worries. My first game I had bad rolls but the second I got my vengeance on my friend's treacherous ad mech and their primaris minions. I abhorred the witch so hard his librarian periled twice and my marshal went toe to toe with a knight armiger and survived to speak of it.

Marshal Arthur Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Thank you! Next up are some kitbashed cenobyte servitors, complete with the most holy relics of Avalon; the reliquary of St. John of Cleese, the Avalonian swallow and migratory kokosnuss, and the holy grail itself. After that I ordered a couple storm talons to give me some fast movers with lascannons and assault cannons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) African or European Storm Talons? Why not both? The "Europa pattern Stormtalon" bearing two "Grizzly missile launchers" (air-launched variants of the Skyspear missile) with which to kill tanks, and the "Africa pattern Stormtalon" replacing the twin heavy bolter with a rack for three Thunderhawk cluster bombs with which to kill infantry.
