r/BlackTemplars

Do you guys like these patterns on my bros capes?

My box of intercessors had a few broken arms/guns, so GW was nice enough to send me a whole new box...in two days.

So I decided it was time to kitbash a squad of Assault Intercessors to accompany Grimaldus.

These guys needed to stand out as his own personal honor guard.

I'm like, 95% done, but decided to reach out to y'all to give input on any finishing touches. What do you think?

Saw this on Instagram and screenshotted it to send to my brother who does have IG but when I went back to IG my feed updated and it was gone

First model that I've painted that I was happy enough to paint the base.

Deathwing Terminator kitbashed into a Black Templar Terminator. Lots of cutting, filing, and sanding. Nothing new to this awesome group.

C&C welcome. Very happy with my EC so far. Tried NMM on the sword and think it goes pretty well. Total painted models are 1) old combat patrol BT and 2) one pack of sword bros.

Needs transfers for the banner scroll.

I'm still working on my edge highlighting skills but I'm pretty happy how the armor came out.

Like most of my games, the Crusaders shine. Purge the Foe short board gets me across crazy fast. Took objectives early to rack up points. First two turns decide if Templars win; they do not have the staying power.

Distraction Dread got plowed by AT fire and punched out by his baby Dread. That was his role.

EC is a fucking weapon. Walking Exterminatus. Ten of his Terminators (Paladins?) with Banner and Apothecary got the charge and bodied the Crusaders. The EC, Castellan, and remaining Sword Bro whittled them down to the final three. EC tanked everything like a beast.

Jump Assault took backfield objective turn two for the points, easily wiping his Strike Squad. They then charged the Terminators from behind and saved the EC's ass.

Sword Bros got an easy objective charge out of the Pod. Got some points, then got shot to death.

RepEx has never done anything worthwhile for me. It once lost a shootout with a Riptide. It managed to tank shock a squad to death, then his Dread. I'm going to drop it for a 3rd Crusader Squad.

Grimaldus and his boys held strong on a side objective. The entire match ended up consolidating into a giant mosh pit of Castellan Crowe, the Squad he was with, his Terminators, and my Grim Squad along with EC and the Jump Bois.

We called it at store close and I was 13VP ahead. In summary, it's further proof that Templar rules are built around and used best with their supplement. Fast footslogging, early objectives, shock and awe. Once I had that momentum everything turned.
