Great looking models. The cloaks look good to me, perhaps darken the recesses a bit more like you suggested?

thank you brother I've decided to darken them a little will post an update once I've finished painting the rest of the fabrics :happy.:

 

 

so i saw these the other day and i'm a bit torn on if i should get them or not i really love the look of the top five but the fact they are hooded is a bit off putting i do have sword brothers and initiates with hooded helmets but I've tried to stop using them as they don't feel templar enough if that makes sense? these look amazing though..... what do you guys think about them?

With fire, blade and blessed bolt shell more Crusaders unleash righteous retribution upon the alien, the mutant and the heretic! No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!

 

Greetings Brothers a rather large update on my crusades progress today unfortunately i got distracted from painting my last few units and ended up building and painting some other units but i thought i'd post some more WiP photos for you. All C&C are welcome Brothers!

I have only just started work on these three so it is mainly base colours atm.

I haven't worked on this guy for a long time so i'm currently working on updating him as he's a bit bare atm and i need to swap out the heavy bolter for something better.

I had stopped working on these Dreads a while ago and kind of regret that as they are such fun to paint. the hazard stripes aren't perfect i know but its the best i can do free hand although i don't think it looks too bad. also i really enjoy using the badges from the land raider and rhino doors as Crusade badges wish i had done this on more of my models.

 

Chaplain Valentin and Castellan Matthias

To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive them is barbarity.

Today a daring raid was conducted into the den of pink, fluffy and obviously Slaanesh worshipping Claire and her 'accessories'. Fortunately I was assisted by the Cannoness who lives with me and we escaped with much blessed chain! A worthy tip brother!

 

What I hadn't anticipated of course was the Cannonness' unique form of revenge for taking her into this den of tat. In other news I now have much clearer pores...

Good to hear Brother I'm glad your raid was a success, I assume in time this will lead to a full crusade against Claire and her den of fluffy Heresy? I too know of the tithes that must be payed to cannoness' only in death does duty end Brother.

 

So a little later than I had hoped I have finally finished Chaplain Valentin and Castellan Matthias to a level i'm happy with. The bases haven't been done because I'm currently working on new ones as I've decided I don't like the overly orange rock from previous photos anymore I feel it's too bright and draws too much attention away from the model. Also sorry Brothers I tried to get the images in a spoiler tab but couldn't for the life of me get it to work :ermm: so now I just have this ugly mass of photos sitting awkwardly..

Good job on the Castellan and the Chaplain.

thank you Brother!

 

I love those blue eyes on the Chaplain.

Thank you! I keep trying to paint chaplain eyes red to look more menacing but every time I attempt it I think of Terry Pratchett's description of Death (grim reaper) and I just have to paint them blue.
