Black Templars: 20 Man Crusader Squad Completed.

As I try to move through this army I felt it was time to do something really fun, and take a chunk of work on at once. I doubt I would ever do this again as it was a very time consuming squad trying to finish all parts of the process to the same standard across 20 models. Here’s how

A New Crusade Begins…. Again! Black Templars Hobby Update

Here’s something I decided I wanted to get back into. I thought it was time to revisit my first real 40K army from the old days…. again. So I picked up that patrol box, and the new Phobos Kill team. Here’s how things are looking: I’m really happy with how these turned out. The difficulty in starting a new army

Black Templars: Core Army Completed (including Characters)

I put every spare moment into this batch. My goal was to hit a good look with a core army of Assault Intercessors, Intercessors, a Crusader (primaris) Squad which covers the troops. Add in the unique Sword Brethren squad, and unique HQ choices, and you have a complete core Black Templars army to build on. There’s a lot here… Infantry

Black Templars Hobby Update: High Marshall Helbrecht

What an amazing sculpt! As of now it is probably one of, if not the best marine sculpt in the game. (It just won 3rd best new miniature in the Games Workshop yearly poll.) I felt after painting 3 squads of various Templars, it was time to take the plunge and do up Helbrecht! He was a lot of work.

Black Templars Hobby Update: Sword Brethren and Castellan

Here comes a quick update on a lot of work I’ve been doing over the Christmas break. I’ve put a lot of hours in the Black Templars and it’s starting to show. After doing a full sizeable squads, I felt confident enough to go after the Sword Brethren. I know (as of this writing) the Sword Brethren are under powered/over

Black Templars Hobby Update: Assault Intercessors

I did a few extra models to form a small squad with some options, including a Fist (relic), and an Axe, as well as a decent looking Chainsword dude which could pose as a ‘sarge’ if needed. I’ve increased the Blanchitsu up a notch! There’s more oils, more of the beloved texturing from pigments, etc. I’m keeping this base configuration

Heading into 2022 with Black Templars!

Here we go with a hobby update based on something I didn’t think I’d revisit (again)! I sold off my original box set of Templar infantry figs that I painted, and ended up using the funding to inevitably buy this…. And so far I reworked my original recipe and wanted to go a little darker, a little more “Blanchitsu-ish”. So

Grey Knights and New Black Templars: Hobby Update

Hello, it’s been a while since I did one of these and I think we’re overdue for some pictures so let’s just jump right into it. I kept it simple for the most part but the metallics are quite a process to retain a blue hue, while keeping it ‘silver’ in appearance. Next up… Black Templars! This is the contents
