Looking for Castellan Ideas

This guy got me back into the hobby in 2021. After a 15 year hiatus. The John Blanche nostalgia got me. Haven’t turned back since.

This old-school Castellan was the first model I painted to a standard I was happy with. At the time, I stopped painting more details in fear of messing up.

Since then, I’ve learned a lot. And thinking about taking this guy back into the shop to level up some details.

But I’m on the fence. Should I keep him as-is for a nostalgic first model? Or what would you do to level up some details? (finishing the eye lenses is first on my idea list).

Drolf the Dwarf Appears

Not sure where else to post this handsome lad.

A whole Kharadron Ranger army based around this style would honestly be really cool 👀

Armageddon Crimson Fist Sargeant

Armageddon is here! At least for me. I’m very behind on my projects.

Here’s the test model for the Crimson Fists scheme. A 3rd Company Veteran Sergeant. I’m calling him done. Until I can think of a name for the shoulder pad (and get brave enough to freehand it).

More to come soon.

Edmark Valoran!

The star of Darkwater is here. He’s looking right at you.

How many other Sigmar players are out there running Edmark as a Marshal? Thinking about building a CoS army around him.

Brenn Tylis Done!

Brenn’s ready for some Darkwater campaigns.

Question for the Sigmar players - what’s a good proxy for Brenn to fit into a CoS army?

Looking for ideas out here. It’s a great model! Just not sure what to run Brenn as on a 28 base.

Crimson Fists Eyes - looking for feedback

Is that too bright of a red for Crimson Fist eyes? Does it look like heresy? I’m on the fence.

Ran out of Blood Angels red contrast and went for the Baal Red instead.

Crimson Fist WIP - Armageddon Sergeant

I’m hopping on the Sons of Dorn wagon. Here’s a sneak peak.

Loving the deep blue Crimson Fist style. Looking forward to seeing this guy done with all his decals.

Jackals!

Jackals! Lots of them!

The big boy has a noise bleed. No one’s brave enough to tell him.

This was one of my favorite projects from last year. Learned a lot. And got confident painting different types of skin tones. Definitely more involved to paint than anticipated.

[H] Grey Knight - Battle Ready Painted [W] Space Marines, Orks, World Eaters, AoS Skaven or Freeguild [Loc] Atlanta

Hey Folks!

I have a small lot of battle-ready painted Grey Knights. Looking to trade locally in the Atlanta area.

Pictures here: https://imgur.com/a/w051o33

- 1 5 Man GK Strike Squad (Painted)

- 1 5 Man GK Terminator Squad (Painted)

- 1 Custom GK Librarian Terminator (Kitbashed + Painted)

- 1 Castellan Crowe (Classic Model Painted - NOT the new resized one)

Message me here for offers. Or email templarjakestudios@gmail.com I got these models second-hand already painted years ago. So I'm not certain how they were painted.

I prefer unbuilt / unpainted models. But open to anything cool. Here's some armies I'm currently working on:

- Space Marines (Templars, Crimson Fists, Imperial Fists)

- Chaos (World Eaters)

- Orks

- Age of Sigmar (Skaven, Maggotkin, Freeguild)

Skulltaker + Friends

Here’s an older project from last year. Part of my journey working my way up to more complex Khorne demons.

Learned a lot about red skin in the process. Pretty simple / quick scheme.

KHORGORATH FOR KHORNE.

Older 2025 project of mine. Learned a lot from this guy.

Slapped him on a 60mm base for possible 40K.

What would you run him as in casual games? Hellbrute? Demon Prince?

Pestigors! (Half of them at least)

Finished up my first batch of Darkwater Pestigors earlier this year!

A little annoying GW only gives you 8 models in the Darkwater set though. Any recommendations on classic Beastmen models to fill out the last 2 spots and make a full AoS squad?

I'm leaning towards picking up the Old World Chieftain. And painting him in the same extra sick Nurgle style.

First time posting here - Cankerborn!

Just a couple smelly swampy bois from the WHQ Darkwater box. Super fun painting project.

Later this year (after I've made some progress on Armageddon) I'm going to wrap up the Nurgle side of WHQ.

Anyone played these guys in AoS with success?

Skarbrand Basing Workshop WIP

Excited to see how the Mordant Earth cures overnight. Going for a feeling that Skarband's steps are breaking the earth. He's just leaving behind a hot mess.

Need to finish up the basing and some highlights on the model. Then Big Angry Boi is done.

More Skaven - Rat Ogors!

These were actually the first models I painted out of the Skaventide box in 2024. Can't believe it's been that long.

I was very enthusiastic about rats back then. Good times.

Skaventide Grey Seer

Here's a couple workshop shots of my Skaventide Grey Seer. Mostly contrast painting.

It's been awhile since I've done Skaven. But the new Eshin models are calling...
