Black Templars Sold...

Well, the Black Templars are sold, shipping out soon. Still have the Crimson Fists to sell, and I will be putting them back on ebay soon, guess I will break up the group and sell them in smaller batches. Hopefully I get more bites that way.
I will be finishing up the painting on my Skulltaker and squad of Bloodletters and selling them too, so if interested drop me a line before I put them on ebay.

WARMACHINE here I come!!! I have decided to go away from 40K and try something new, maybe GW will get their stuff together some time and I will come back to it, but as for now, they lost a customer. I like the games and the story line of 40K and Fantasy, just don't like spending hundreds of hundreds of dollars to get my gaming and modeling fix. If they come out with a Kill Team game I will be all over it, but I doubt it as that would encourage people to buy less "plastic crack", and they can't have that now can they. Well, I don't want to turn this into a rant or anything, just going with a wallet friendly, skirmish based game for now. Hit me up if interested in my Marines or Demons, and I will put up links to my ebay listings as soon as I get them listed.

Thanks,

Here is the list I have decided on for 1500 points, and eventually scaling up to 1750- 1850 points. Let me know what you think, or any tips for playing the list or for the construction and painting of my Declates Crusade Force, need all the help I can get.

Total: 1496 pts.

Still need to purchase:
Bits for Marshal
1 Rhino
2 Predators
and possibly a new Ven Dread to replace my old Dread

Work in progress

Got my mini's organized and started doing some upgrades on my Crimson Fists Rhino, notably the Tac Arrow on top and the white shield on the front were the Maltese Cross will go, and some chiped paint effect, and some more weathering to come after decals are applied. I also worked up my list, and realized, i need money! Just to get to 1500 points I will need a Rhino, 2 Predators, some bits to make my Marshal, and would like to get the new Ven Dread in plastic, but I can use my current CF Dread for now. Looks like I need to come up with around $175.00 to complete. I think I am going to finish my Skulltaker and Bloodletters, and ebay them along with some old High elves that I have, might get 100-150 bucks for it all, just have to see what I got that I need to get rid of and get some serious painting going on too. Anyways here is a pic of my work this morning, not much, but gotta start somewhere.



Working on a few 1/72 scale WWI planes for Canvas Eagles too. Time to get back at it, and I will post up the new list later as well.

Took some time off...

Now I can focus again, I hope. Well, I have decided to run just my Templars, and to paint up the Demons and sell them. I have gotten quite a few things ready to incorporate into the Declates Crusade force recently. I dug up my old Crimson Fist Marines and started adding here and there and this is what I came up with.


E. Champ
Castellan
Dread
7x Ini.,2x Neo Crusader Squad w/ BP/CCW, Melta and Power Fist
7x Ini., 3x Neo Crusader Squad w/ BP/CCW, Melta and Power Fist
10x Ini. Crusader Squad w/ Bolters, Plasma Gun and Power Fist
2x Rhinos
2x Drop Pods, 1 (is still in the box)
2x Land Speeder Tornados, w/ MM and HF, (1 is still in the box)

Now to make a list, think I am gonna go Mech rather than Drop, I just like tanks too much! Once I have a solid list for 1500 pts., I will know what else to buy, probably some Tri-Las Preds would be good. Well, off to write a list, and plan my army build, so I can get it done sometime before Christmas.

Back to my Black Templars...

Wow, I have been so uninspired and extremely unmotivated of late, time to bust free of my laziness! I am putting the Daemons on the back burner, and getting back to my Templars, yes, I have inspiration to work on them again! I haven't broke out the paintbrush yet, but I have been working on some army lists for 1500 pts. Once I get to that level and get a few test games in, I am going to try and head down to Indy and get a game in with some of my fellow Indy Gamers. On to the list.

Back at it again...

To many things keeping me busy, and away from the hobby, but I have managed to get some things done, and get in a couple of games of Blue Max/ Canvas Eagles. I have finished my 1/72 Sopwith Camel, a 1/72 Fokker F.1(Werner Voss's machine)and painted 2 of the bases for Blue Max/ Canvas Eagles.
The main thing bumming me out though, is that i didn't make the time to finish my painting challenge on The Bolter and Chainsword, right now it is a little over half done and the contest ends tomorrow! Oh well, guess I can chalk it up to lack of time and a big lack of inspiration to paint my Black Templars.

Well here is some pics of some things I have finished and a WIP of my Black Templar painting challenge.


Roden 1/72 Sopwith Camel, made as Billy Barkers machine when he was with 28th sqn in Italy


Allied flying base


Rodens 1/72 Fokker F.1 done as Werner Voss's machine


and on the painted base for the Germans


And here is my shame, my half completed Black Templars for a Bolter and Chainsword Painting Challenge. I could get them done in time, but I am not going to rush a paint job and screw it all up. Besides where is the fun and enjoyment at in stressing and rushing to get done.

Hope you like, more to come soon.

So much to do, so little time....

Little work on my Skulltaker.


A lot of stuff waiting for some attention, and a box of Bloodletters not shown, and like 9 or 10 WWI 1/72 model airplanes too.


These guys are next up, Crusade Expansion painting challenge on Bolter and Chainsword just started up.


And this is what I have for my Black Templars at the moment, need to build the speeder and Drop Pod and get another 2 rhinos and a Termie with Assault Cannon, and that would get me to around 1250 points.


Now I just need to paint it all, lol.

Updated pics of Squad and Rhino...

Just a couple more pics that I snapped

And now the Emporers Champion....

Finally did up my Declates Crusade Champion, still need to do the lettering on the Crusader seals and Purity seals. Oh well, I will touch it up some time soon. What I did with the sword and the severed Ork Warboss's head, is use my saw to jagged cut the tip off, then I drilled out the spot in the head and glued it in and used green stuff for the blood flowing from the wound. I tried to make it seem like he broke the sword off in the Orks Warboss's thick skull, and then decapitated the Foul Xeno Scum, just to make sure it was dead.
Well here you go, comments are much appreciated.

Black Templars Rhino

Finally got some decent pics to post, more to come.

Couple teaser pics of my first Crusader Squad

I will get some better pics up as soon as i get a better camera, old pics will have to do for now.
Crusader Squad #1

Black Templars Castellan

Just thought I would share some pics of some of my mini's.
First up is my Black Templars Castellan converted from a Sternguard model, sculpted loin cloth from green stuff and magnetized arms for future additions (lightning claws comes to mind!). I apologize for the pics, don't have a good camera right now.
