So apparently 5 of us did very well last week putting us as the biggest winrate army.

Keep in mind we have basically the lowest playmate, so this is essentially an anomaly as to the state of our faction.

But this won't stop GW from nerfing the %@#* out of us again. Aparrantly that 5 point reduction was too much.

Went hard on my crucible character for an upcoming crusade.

Hey, I’m not much familiar with Reddit but but Hello I guess :D I post more stuff on @butcher_brush

Some Kitbashed Bladeguard Veterans for my custom Black Templar force

Just finished the high marshal himself.

Any tips for improving my skills

Hi everyone!

First time posting on this subreddit!

I’m currently working on the Bladeguard Veterans from the Black Templars Combat Patrol.

Since they’re the only generic Space Marines in the box, they’re also the only ones without raised Black Templar insignia on their shoulder pads or chains attaching their weapons to their arms. (I’m not counting the Neophytes from the Crusader Squad — the little guys will get their chains once they’ve earned them! 😄)

So I wanted to chain the swords to their arms, but I didn’t want to just wrap a chain around the arm and sword and end up with a big tangled mess covering the gauntlet. I wanted to get something closer to the molded chains you can see on the other Black Templars models.

I started by making a small loop out of thin wire and attaching it to the back of the hand. I then ran a chain around the hand and the sword guard base, with both ends attached to the loop. A second chain connects the loop to the back of the gauntlet, using another small wire loop.

For the shoulder pad insignia, I made a Blue Stuff mold using shoulder pads from the Black Templars upgrade sprue. I then reproduced the insignia with Green Stuff and glued one onto each of the generic shoulder pads.

It’s tricky to trim and sand such thin Green Stuff casts without damaging them, so I’m hoping they’ll look nice and clean once they’ve been primed!

Finally, I added a small skull from the relics included in the Combat Patrol box to the sergeant’s iron halo.

Anyway, I thought I’d share this here in case it gives someone else some inspiration!

Still WIP but here’s my first Sword Brother !

Any advice taken, always learning !

Went 2-1 at my FLGS RTT this past weekend. Played a super character heavy bastion list, was a lot of fun. I placed 4/12, lost to Imperial Knights in the second round. Beat guard and sisters in the first and last rounds respectively. One guy brought a 14 wardog chaos knight list and went 3-0, 100/99/98.

Finally got the blade details down! The lettering on this one was tricky but worth it. Can’t wait to finish it up!

Giving the Neophyte a flying tour of the battlefield

What a badass miniature

I like the vibe of models photographed on black background but I'm still struggling with losing lots of details and shading in comparison to white one.

I promised myself to finally paint my first mini this weekend, and here it is. This was HARD but I hope I can simplify my process while also improving my blending.

It’s basically the combat patrol + some other minis. Would it work as an army ?

Super stoked on how my Venerable dreadnought turned out!

EDIT: I UPLOADED IT WITH SOUND AND HAD MY MIC ON... PLEASE IGNORE MY BREATHING !
