I'm moving on to a different army. These guys are similar to the old army in that they're both upgraded humans in heavy armor. The similarities tend to stop there. The new guys are a version of the Marine family called the Black Templars. I won't be painting them exactly the same way, but that's part of the fun of this hobby, creating your own color scheme. These guys are the holy-knight style of army.
The first models I've gotten for this army are rather signature models for this:
The Emperor's Champion who leads the army in a Vow before battle.
Emperor's Champion |
He is armed with a powerful sword and targets enemy champions in battle and wears holy armor that protects him in close combat.
A Chaplain to watch over their spiritual well-being, and a general hard case.
Chaplain |
This Chaplain is armed with a mace that is both a symbol of his office, and and a powerful weapon to boot. Rounding out his gear is an energy pistol and shield added to the model from parts from other kits.
A Terminator Leader to bring his wisdom and experience to the field of battle.
Terminator Leader |
He is wearing the heaviest armor available to an infantryman. It provides impressive protection and allows the wearer to wield heavier weapons with ease.
I have a few more kits I will be adding to this lot, but are not quite ready for Mr. Demille's eye. Either their paint is currently horrible, or they still need to be put together. I will add updates as I can. I have also accepted a challenge to complete the Chaplain in a month, so fingers-crossed!
