xealito Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Hi all. I've been trying to become a member here for a while and finally got made a member today after I emailed the site admins. I really wanted to share these models I'm making. Might be worth saying I don't play the game, I just take time making models. So hopefully you like them. The story behind the Incendius Crusade is they have been fighting a long distance away from the rest of the chapter in isolation for over a long time, centuries possibly when you take the quirks of spacetime and the warp into account. In this time their zealotry has reached insane levels and they have turned their nutcase level up to 11. This crusade firmly believes the emperor is a god and worship him as such in fundamental fashion. I see them akin to Necromunda redemptionists, randomly flipping their lid and purging anyone they decide is a sinner. This is my first model (as noted I wont be making an entire army, just some characters and vehicles worthy of display) Marshal Constantius. The idea behind his crown of thorns (which I will paint as barbed wire) is he wears it as a penance for calling himself a leader when only the emperor deserves such idolisation. It pierces his skin every time he moves in combat. While appearing to be in command he's actually an unwitting pawn to the Crusade's chaplain who manipulates him into doing his biding as he guides his faith. I have a bit of background written but for now I'll show some pics: I'm quite happy with him so far. He needs a hand obviously and I think I will add a few more purity seals here and there. Let me know what you think. Edited September 4, 2019 by xealito Test Account, Kyliadan, Marshal Reinhard and 9 others 12 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othniel's Blade Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 That is some incredible sculpting; particularly the chains and mace head. I do not envy you the time making those cross points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xealito Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks man! There's always a shortcut: I cut a templar cross out of a thin bit of plasticard and stuck it on top of the mace head which had been filed flat. Then I used green stuff to give it three dimensions. So the shape was already there as a guide. Sculpting points/spikes is something I still need to learn to do properly. Honda 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Excellent customization on the Terminator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Please, tell me you can't paint nearly as well as you sculpt. My fragile ego is at stake here man. Honda, Othniel's Blade and Sete 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 First off brother, welcome to the Eternal Crusade! Due to the nature of our efforts, it does not matter "when" you arrived, only that you "have" arrived. Your sculpting and modeling skills are far beyond my own, but I shall look forward to being inspired by them nonetheless. Your Marshal is a brilliant model. I am also happy to see that you "biggerized" the legs on him. I did similar efforts for my terminators and I think it adds a greater presence to a terminator armored figure. The thunder hammer/mace is truly inspired. I eagerly await your rendition of a Chaplain. Will he also wear terminator armor? IMPERATOR VULT!

xealito Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Long...long...gap. Sorry. I am actually getting time and in a habit of doing hobby stuff at the moment so hopefully this will be more frequent now. I have more stuff @xealito on instagram. This is the design of the crozius I am making for the chaplain with some concept sketches. I was playing around with the idea of flames coming from the top of the skull but eventually dispensed with it because the model already has plenty of flames going on (a flamer and two flaming lantern things). I'm hoping it has enough of a unique black templar vibe without the top part of the cross. What do you think? Also some of the models I'm working on. A Leuitenant or however that is spelt and the chaplain Edited September 4, 2019 by xealito vossyvo, Marshal Vespasian, Marshal Mattias and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtySixNights Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Simply outstanding. Can't wait to see what you make of these sculpts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xealito Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Thanks very much. The big problem is my painting is not as good as my sculpting so I’m often offput and worry I’m going to spoil my work but I need to try and get over that. I’ve got a few models I’m currently painting which I will post soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 That green Stuff work makes me happy.wish I could do even a fraction of that. Welcome to the eternal crusade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mattias Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 *OOOF* You are creating the models I see in my head when I think of grimdark Black Templars :lol: Can't wait to see your progress on these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xealito Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Another model ready to paint. I don’t know how to make the image smaller, sorry. http://tinyimg.io/i/qG3YC2V.jpeg I think I will add a holster to the left hand side (his right) because it makes sense and it will add a bit of visual weight. The waist looks a bit thin and bare without it. Edited September 10, 2019 by xealito The Spanish Inquisitor and vossyvo 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spanish Inquisitor Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Really good conversions you did there. I wish I could make tabards in GS like these ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
