Black Templars *PICS*

Lookin good! That guy with the Plasma Gun looks cool firing over cover.

As I said before, great work.
And the plasma gun-guy is teh rox0rz, I really love his pose. :yes:

Thanks for comments guys. :yes:

@ Might Camel,

I think you've said that 4-5 times now.

Really nice! As said, the Plasma Gunner looks really cool!

My only advice to give would be for taking pictures, not their content.
The pictures posted are close so a little blurry (only a little). If you are not already, be sure that you are using the 'Macro' setting (the little flower symbol) on your camera.

But really cool models, well done!

That is 4-5 times to few! I love it!!!11

hahaha....is the plasma gunner meant to be firing over a wall, or firing with the gun behind his head, Chuck Norris style, to prove his worth?

Either way, great work!

@ Rob,

When I made it I was thinking he was firing behind his head. But he could fire over cover aswell. =P

I say he stands that way just to show off!
I LOVE HIM (can I have him? Pleeeeaaasee?)!
Or you can give me a guide how you did him so I can get a box of marines and make them all similar to that!

It is so damn simply done. Get two arms holding a plasma and then just push them up til you have have the postition you like.

....no... you CAN'T have him...

really don't like the grey edged highlights... i prefer the "less is more" approach where you'd just do the grey line on the highest surfaces rather then every single edge.

I like the robes though,

not keen on the plasma gunner, although i like the way you've come up with a never seen before pose, rather then following a trend like most people do.

Good work overall!

You are an evil, evil man...
I guess I will get a squad of marines and position them all in cool poses (I have a lot imagined already).

@ Gareth,
Thanks dude. I think it looks great with thick highlights all over the model. Makes the model look good from long

@ Mighty Camel,
Tell me your ideas. ^^

I thought of cutting up one guy so he leans back and fires a bolter/missile launcher/plasma gun/whatever between his legs, some guys jumping forward/backward/sideways firing weapons (preferably one weapon in each hand), someone wheeling on one hand and firing a weapon with the other one and so on.

They would do the emporer proud! well done. I like the scenery it came with and the poses, very creative, well done!

I like it except for the highlights on the black. Honestly, I rarely see black highlighted well... either it's too much, or you can't see it (this includes mine as well.) It's just plain hard to work when you don't have a darker shade (unless somebody has come across Ultrablack.) What I've tried doing is using a dark grey (Vallejo German Grey... it's probably about the equivalent of a 50/50 mix of Codex Grey and Chaos black.) and then hitting it with a few black washes. It's still pretty dark, but gives you a lot more range for your colors.

Good job.

I'm a graphic designer and when we send artwork to the presses and we want it really black we do a mix of cyan (blue) and black (100% of each), gives a real dark black as opposed to 100% black on its own. Dunno how it'll work with acylic paints though...

@ Mighty Camel

Sounds good. Especially the idea with having a marine jumping sideways firing boltpistols or something. I may steal that idea. '._.'

Thanks for the other replies guys.

Watch out so I don't press legal charges against you, I have copyrighted it! :w00t:

IMO i also like thick highlight but i think the highlight used is a little to light and it seems to be only one colour of highlight, rather than working up to a fial drybrush of the realy soft colour.

i think the pictures arent very flattering to the mods either. but this is a small critisism on an alround nice looking bunch of models

i also think the plasma gunner shows great skills in converting, although i do peffer to think of him as shooting over cover than being an arrogant show off. i know i sound stuck up but marines to me are always men of great honour and discipline.
