Artist's Comments

Lots of people keep asking me to do a Space Marine here on DA...so here is one!
I really like Black Templars,the whole knightly crusade feel of them and the artwork GW put forth in their Codex is just superb...if i were ever to do a Marine army,these are the boys for me!
Anyway,this is just my usual plastic kit bash and green stuff combo,and he is to be a gift for a guy i do a lot of commission work for,he is a massive Black Templar fan too! He's been very good to me over the last year with work,so this chap is a gift for him to show my appreciation.
Not sure EXACTLY what he is...Sword Bretheren maybe :D
Black undercoat,GW acrylics and Tamiya Clear Glaze Orange.

I really like what you've done with the scheme, the jet black on the black templars has always looked a little off to me. However you've hit the nail the on the head with this piece, definitely recognizable as a black templar but not slapping you in the face with a jet black colour scheme. The glazes you've added really bring out the shadows, joins and highlights of the piece.

Congrats a job well done.

Love it! I am a BT guy, I run an army based on the BT (same rules, same models, just instead of black armor, it's dark blue, and the fact that I have yet to paint anything, its all at the modelling and undercoating stage) but I am really impressed by the color, as *TheBuild says, its a nice change from Jet Black, and excellent pose!! Nice and passive. Good job man

That's some bad-ass space marine right there. All mine look terrible in comparison.
Really, reeaallly terrible.

His sword could just slip off his shoulder and WHAM! Head's gone.

Nice paint job though ^_^

Not really,the shoulder pads have a raised lip added to the top,so its perfectly fine where it is...that and he's a seasoned warrior,he'd know the perfect balance of his weapon...
So there! :D
Thanks though,he was a lot of fun :)

Yea,i always try for a reasonable balance...with this guy,i figured he was a veteran,and the extra armour plates would be bolted on top of his existing black armour,so it meant i could have fun with my beloved metallics, and they would help the black stand out nicely :D
I was pleased with the pose too :)
Thanks for the comments and the Fave! I do appreciate it all.
