WIP Templar Neophyte/Standard Bearer


Recommended Posts

I've always liked the look of lots of banners in an army, so when they released the plastic scouts I decided to add neophytes that carried squad banners in my Black Templars Crusade.

 

This is the squad banner bearer for one of my squads that's also still WIP

I've carefully cut all the hair from the scouts head to look a bit more like the scouts from the cover of the BT codex and to try the twelve o'clock shadow/stubble look.

 

Painting Shaved Heads

 

Here also is a quick shot of the squad the Neophyte will be carrying the banner for, only 3 marines done so far.

Khorne, I think posts are supposed to have a purpose ;), most of your posts are like that too. I love the marines, I would have the standard bearer really beaten up as he would only take it if he was the last guy standing, a hill style base would be cool. Love to see it when it is finished.

the stubble looks a bit lighter in the picture but not by too much.

Fits in well with his brothers I think

Let's leave the moderation to the mods, shall we?

 

 

Back OT: really loving that standard bearer, Brother 'Ussell. He's got a bit of a 'Full Metal Jacket' feel to him. :)

Like others I do dig the shaven head scout look...I also think your regular BT are ace.

 

That being said...I think the actual banner could be/should be considerably larger...kinda looks like ol' boy is holding a pole with a pillow case attached to it, not the banner of a multi-thousand year old military brotherhood.

 

But that is just one mans opinion. :lol:

Thanks for the great comments guys!

 

CRASHMANN: I do plan on adding quite a few neophytes to each squad, with the new plastic ones the opportunity for conversions to make them each a bit more unique is too good to pass up.

 

MASTERSETH: I agree about the banners, but I also feel that with a squads own banner it wouldn't be as large as say the entire crusade's banner, more for the squads own personal pride sorta thing, but yes I do wish they were a bit bigger.

 

There's more stuff I would have liked to add to it but I didn't want it to look too crowded.
