W40K: Black Templars 'Land Raider Crusader 1'

The first of my three models that I need done for the Broadside Bash this April is now completed.

This is the first Land Raider Crusader I have for my Black Templars army, I am thinking later this year I will probably add at least one more. I need to have two Land Raiders Crusaders in a Black Templar army, for theme.

Up next will either be High Marshal Helbrecht, or my Vindocator replacement model.

W40K: Black Templars 'Stormraven Gunship 1' Complete

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I started working on my Stormraven Gunship for my Black Templars army. A little bit of painting last night and some more today, and my flyer is completed.

 

I think for 'table top quality', it came out alright. I am still not happy with how my decals look on 'black', and I should have tried something a little different with the windows (yes I got lazy and just decided to prime the windows black). I probably should have tried a drybrush on the windows instead of hard edges.

 

Since the model is of decent size, the photos did not come out as well as I wanted (the model did not fit well inside my light box).

 

It's done, it can be played with, time for the next model.

W40K: Black Templars 'Stormraven Gunship 1' WIP

Slowly this week I have been working on a Stormraven Gunship as an addition to my Black Templars army. I really like the fact that I can assault from the vehicle, and I thought it would be a cool looking flyer to add to the army.

I am hoping to get it all completed tomorrow (Saturday), but I thought I'd share some of my work in progress photos.

W40K: Black Templars 'Terminators'

Besides adding two Black Templars Marines to fill out some units last month, it has been quite a few years since I lasted painted for Warhammer 40K. With my renewed interest in W40K for this year, it is time to get some models painted.

My current Black Templars army is quite a few years old, ok, really old, so some of the models are OOP including my current Terminators unit. This past weekend I got a steller deal on a unit of Terminators. So why not, let's get them painted and added to the army. Over the next few weeks we'll be adding more new models for the Black Templars as we get the army ready for a map campaign I am playing in.
