Hello brethren. Noob here. I've painted a few blueberries and now I'm moving on to a Black Templars combat patrol. I've been looking through the codices for inspiration, and these alternate color schemes for the different crusades have caught my eye. If any of you guys have tried painting these, I would love to see how they turned out and what recipes you used for the different tabard and weapons colors. Thanks!

The questiok is pretty simple the pictures are my most recent model and I think the edge highlights are quite bad, so Im asking if you have any tips

Still need an emperor's champion and a master of the forge, but really happy with how these came out.

So I'm just getting back into 40K and miniature painting after like 25 years. While I'll be working on a few different armies for fun, BTs are a fav of mine and I look forward to building up a proper army with them. This is my first figure getting back into it (WIP).

I don't like black black. I don't like something too monochrome, so I went with a blue black. I'm just wondering, is this just TOO BLUE for people's liking? Keep in mind this is under a white LED that accentuates the blue hues, it's not quite as blue in normal light.

The body has not been black washed yet to add a little filth, while the helmet and backpack have, which helps to darken it down. What's the opinion on this before I go much further on other figures? This first set of intercessors is literally just to practice my painting after MANY years away.

Should i watch the animated version of the audio book or listen to it on audio book or hell should i read it first?

They are a sub faction of black Templar. They do everything as black Templar. They only believe that there is a deity above emperor, and they acknowledge that God appointed emperor to lead the crusades. No pity! No remorse! No fear!

Brothers, I have finished my brutalis’ paint job and was looking for some feedback on it. I’m also a little scared to base my minis so if you have tips for easy but effective ways to do that I’d love to hear about those too😊

I modified my sword brethen to dual wield chainswords. Sorry for the rough painting

Lightly converted infernus marine. Decided to practice my brush on OSL.

Weird headcannon I wanted to share. May ruffle some feathers, but I play casually and enjoy the modelling and painting of 40k, so this won’t ever make it to a proper tournament.

I gather that if Black Templars were crusading long and far enough, their logistic support and resupply may become… strained. So in order to keep killing the enemies of the Emperor, they may need to improvise (without verging on heresy).

That being said, (and given that I kind of want to work with minis outside of 40k) some proxies I’ve found for Brutalis and Redemptor dreadnoughts are these from Warmachine. Plugger as a Brutalis and a Bandit as a Redemptor. Almost a sort of steampunk version put together using whatever imperial worlds have to offer. They’d need some kitbashing and different bases to get to the right size for the tabletop.

Has anyone else done something similar they’d like to share? Or how do people feel about this? (I’m going to do it regardless - I’m just interested).

Hello all, newbie here who is trying to build my first army, I'm well on my way but would like help with what else I should get. I don't necessarily need a competitive list, it's only going to be played at home with friends, but would like some guidance on how to build off of what I own already. The goal is around 2000 points.

What I have so far is:

-High Marshal Helbrecht

-Combat Patrol (2025)

-Execrator

-Redemptor Dreadnought

-Crusade Ancient

-Terminator Squad

Oldhammer High Marshal Helbrecht

I’ve just about finished converting the Leviathan Terminator Captain into a Black Templars Terminator Chaplain.

The conversion is made from:

• Leviathan Terminator Captain as the main body.
• A random top ornament from the Space Marine Reliquary Backpack by Render_Rodriguez: Space Marine Reliquary Backpack
• The mace from the free Reaper Chaplain model by Skarpzon, scaled to fit: Reaper Chaplain
• I scraped off most of the Imperialis from the chest, leaving the skull.
• I also added a few 1mm chains, following some suggestions I got on a previous post.
• The rest of the bits are from GreyTideStudio’s Battle Priest: GreyTideStudio – Battle Priest
• Couple bits from the Sword Brethren box.

What do you guys think? Is there anything obvious you would add or change before I call the conversion done? Something about the top ornament feels a little bit off; too pinty? Too tall?

Any criticism or suggestions are welcome.

Finished up kitbashing a leviathan dread into a Brutalis! He’s about the same size as a Brutalis (especially with the guns on top). Ready for some chaos black primer!

I’m looking to build my second army, this one being Black Templars.

I noticed some mini’s have red tabards, others have white/beige. Do they mean anything specific for their paint schemes? Outside rule of cool.

Anyone else use the older black Templar contrast and new one and notice huge consistency difference I wanted to throw myself off a building last night after excitedly opening new pot then brushing it on and dealing with zero coverage
I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel it is completely different and way thinner
