Hard to believe, but I'm actually posting pictures!!! If they're too big or small, just yell at me.
This will be a combination of terrain that I'm working on, my Black Templars army, and anything else that I come up with.

So here we have a ruined Chimera bunker. The chimera, sandbags, and the majority of the rubble(basically all the gray stuff) is what it started out as. Oddly enough, the entire thing is made out of insulation foam.
Also, all around the base was static grass, which really doesn't fit in with an urban environment, so I had to scrape all that off and replace it with sand and rubble. Then I added the razor wire and other miscellanies stuff and a few bullet holes. If you have some advice, please give it to me before I paint it!









Before I add more pictures, are those too big?

In that case...

Here are my Sword Brethren WiP. All I did was take the DA robed bodies(thanks to Raedon), and combine them with the Black Templar bits and terminator honor shoulder pads(thanks to GregorXenos). I still have to use green stuff to seal the crack between the tabbard and robes on four of them.











Tomorrow, Terminators!

I think you have the shoulderpads the wrong way around, fluff-wise. Chapter symbol goes on the left arm except on termies.

Now, the Terminators. These are still very WiP. If you have any suggestions or advice on their pose or anything else, please tell me!


Um..eh... I started painting this one, started over, and never finished! So please, bear with the ugly!


Heres his base. I plan to to some more painting on the Ork and his blood, but what color is Ork blood?




Same guy as above




Suggestions for a pose?


I'm thinking of having his right arm pointing forward, as if issuing a challenge. Thoughts?

Thanks! I might add something more to the helmet, like what Pert did with one of his chosen Terminators.

I quite like the Marines! Do you mind if I play around a bit and maybe steal this idea for a few marines? I never thought of combing DA robed legs w/ BT top bodies...

PIIIIIIICCSSSS!!!!!!:d:d:d:d:d

colour me a happy wookie! the bunker looks very cool. i thought it was a scratch build to begin with and my eyes nearly popped out! then i looked a bt closer and calmed down a bit

the templars are also looking very tasty. i think the ork on the base needs something in his hands, like maybe a broken spearshaft poking him in the ribs or something?

For the Termies, I would have kept the walking legs for one of the lightning claw models, like this sword brethren fellow...

http://uk.games-workshop.com/spacema...ars-gallery/5/

But other than that it looks good, tabards and such for the termies seem to be coming along well.

Thanks all! Erus feel free to steal any of my ideas.
I found the bunker in a hobby store in Washington. I'll let you know if I find another one.

EDIT: I started painting the ruined Chimera bunker today. So far I've only painted part of the Chimera. Bear with me as it's my first time painting a camouflage scheme.

As a fellow Templar I'd say you're off to a good start. I like the way you combined the DA and BT bits for the Sword Bretheren. The Terminators also look very promising. I have almost an complete army of Templars and all I need now is some Terminators so thanks for sparking some ideas with the tabards and other bits. Keep up the good conversion work and get some painted.


Ohh ya I can help you with the camoflauge painting if you wait for my tutorial that I'm working on. Also if you have a particular scheme you'd like to see painted just ask.

Thanks. I don't think I'll be painting any models until I can get some better paint brushes. My crappy paint brushes seem to working well for terrain though!
