Oxy’s Black Templars

I painted up ten Templars this weekend. Fun little project.
Ive got ten more similiar to this so it’s a dangerous slippery slope. If I want more after that it will start to hurt the old BatG! Damn you magpie like compulsions!

Anyway - here is what I’ve painted. There may be more to follow!

Wonderfully painted Black Templars! Playful chequers, skull pauldrons and other varied symbols. So true to Blanche’s way of depicting Black Templars in particular, and most forces in general. You’ve given static models plenty of charm and personality, with your usual deft painter’s hand.

I’m impressed with how well the Sigmarine fit in with a packpack, weapon swaps, tabard and cohesive colour scheme. I’ve long planned to try something similar (helmeted; headgear is ever hot in my eyes) but didn’t expect the fit to be so seamless. Many AoS miniatures who are of no particular interest to most WHFB collectors are still wonderful material for 40k conversions, not least Kharadron Overlords.

Excellent start! I cross my fingers for some concluding background bits with photoshopped photos in your trademark characterful delivery of 40k/Necromunda logs. :smile:

Thanks mate! Glad you picked up on the Blanche influences. I grew up with this rulebook:

And it definitely solidified my opinion of what a space marine should be. I want to veer away from the kinda special ops power rangers I feel they are often depicted as today and embrace the brainwashed child soldier turned murder-monk that I feel they really should be!

To me Dreads are THE reason to collect space marines.

Now you need 8 more, minimum. Your dread to shed ratio is too low.

Wonderful paintjobs and lovely fanatic slogans and individual livery across all Marines and Dreadnaughts!

Will @Loidrial squat in the dread as well? As of Warhammer Community updates the recent days, that act may now have multi-layered meanings in 40k, none of which are mutually exclusive. :smiley:
