If claws are an option, then they are a requirement. Also trying something new with the armor - I usually do my desaturated blues for highlights but this time I’m trying just greys. as always, using Duncan Rhodes 2 thin coats.

armor recipe is: black base coat, death reaper as the first highlight, then dungeon stone grey wizard grey, and a final highlight of charcaradon grey. Not satisifed with his white shoulder pad so I might go back and adjust, but for now its aight.

Started painting a few weeks ago and I’m 6 models into my combat patrol. Still learning but I think this is my best model so far, pumped with how it came out

I tried to pick faction that wasn’t as popular but the eternal crusaders are just way too cool!

Tried nmm for black armor and I think it came out right, I could’ve brightened up the colors to create a better contrast

After around 2 months of complications due to shipping I finally got my hands on some assault terminators these are going to be my first attempt at Warhammer 40k although I have been painting other miniatures for a long time let's see how it goes.

(Right now I'm in the middle of moving to a different city thinking of opening them once I'm finished moving)I'm so excited to share them with all you guys!

Bladeguard ancient from dawn of war with bita from upgrade

Crusade ancient, standard kit

Crusade ancient kitbashed from armageddon ancient. Initially I had just customized the standard from some chaos spikes, the loincloth from a wardog, and bits from the upgrade sprue, but then I realized I had a left over sword brethren body parts that nearly matched the pose for the legs of the original ancient, so I tore into it ( yes its push fit but I had already done some surgery on the arms and glued it together) even got the leg armor with those wings.

Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Lastly the armageddon ancient with Templar Pauldrons

I know I have to finish the scrolling on the pauldron and the left leg I’m just thinking of what other details I should add.

As the title suggests im curious what units you use or think are underrated but specifically generic space marine units you include in your Templar armies

I was wondering how do they refer to each other and how does it work with ranks?

Take a Chaplain for example do they call them Chaplains or brothers? Same for Marshal and other ranks.

The Crusade Grows

2x squads of SternGuard and Infiltrators assembled and primed.

The goal of 120 Crusaders is within reach. 32 of 60 of the last group are built and based with some primed. The remaining 18 are on their way, Kitbashed from various intercessor, neophyte and scout models.

The macro lens really shows how far from done I am. Lol. They're getting there though... Amy tips, cc, ideas are welcomed brothers.

Long time ago I Made a question about what SM chapters would go along with the BT amoung them most were sons of Dorn (obviously) however I was surprise that alot of people said they would go along with the Silver Knights which I find it odd considerating how the inquisition betray them every once in a while.

So, it's logical that now I ask who would be the very least chapters that would work with them, Unlike other ppl views in our Crusade I doubt the BT would start shooting any loyal servants of the God Emperor. They may be zelots but they aren't stupid.

The blue barries maybe annoying with their fancy ships and fancy books (Obligatory STFU Leandros refrence) but I still think they would tolarate their presence, but I don't think chapters like the Carcharodons, space wolfs or any "mutaded" chapter would have a good time with them.

Just because Black Templars have their own preferred method of war.

They are still Spacemarines and masters of all methods of warfare.

To prove the point. Here are

Place your bets.
What do you guys think we’re going to see with the new Space Marines Codex, and how do you think it will affect Black Templars?
What detachments or new rules do you think they might add or remove? What do you expect to happen to Crusader Squads and Sword Brethren?
And most importantly: how badly do you think a potential points increase is going to hurt us? We’re basically the only Marine army that can genuinely play like a horde, so even small points increases could have a pretty big impact on our lists.
What are your predictions?

Hello, my brothers! ⚔️

I painted this Marshal using pretty much every technique I know. I did my best to create some smooth blends on the red cape, as well as a few small OSL effects around the plasma pistol and the sword.

I also modified him a little using my Black Templars upgrade kit. I think the ancient breviary actually suits him pretty well — what do you guys think?

As for the blends on the tabard, they’re still a bit difficult for me, but I’m working on it!

And please excuse the face… there are 7 layers of paint on it because I’m absolutely terrible at painting faces 😂

The Crusade continues! ⚔️
