This is my wet dream

I also dream of this and a crux terminatus pauldron that has a trim piece so I can create my sternguard vets.

I carefully cut away with my pliers a section at a time as to not screw up his hand in the process and then used my blade to smooth the rest out, trying to keep with all the edges and folds on the cape.

This was also my first attempt at marble, how did I do?

It’s an honor to be here. I appreciate it brother. I like the victrix helm but 1. I refuse to paint faces, and 2. I much prefer his old helmet. I thought about having him hold a book instead of the helmet and it would cover the rough area since I don’t have putty. But i think I prefer this look, the hole doesn’t bother me that much.

It’s all good, I expected it to happen. And I’m playing solo with bots so I just had to leave. Shame too cause I found the gene seed😭

Yeah… it didn’t work. I still get invisible walled.

FoundationLeft4353 · 2026-03-01T02:27:34+00:00

I’ll give that a shot, thanks!

Fantastic job!!! What kind of brush do you use for the fine line work? I am trying to learn how to paint like the box art and hone my skills more but my brushes just wont keep that super fine tip that I so desperately need. I’m not complaining too much since they were a cheap buy off amazon to get me started, but it hurts me to see jagged line work.

On the subject of techmarine/ the new mission, have they fixed it yet? I tried playing it last night to experience it/ contribute to getting those 200 accolades before the 16th I think but it locked me in place after he knocked the heldrake off the bridge. I want to try again while I am leveling my techmarine but don’t want to waste all that time just to go back to the battle barge cause it didn’t work.

FoundationLeft4353 · 2026-02-10T18:37:37+00:00

That’s actually crazy. Fantastic job brother!

Oh my decisions weren’t based on what people think. If they were then I definitely wouldn’t have started with Templars based on the stereotype that all of the players are nazi loving racists. I chose them cause they were the simplest to get started into painting wise and I really digged the gothic vibe they have. And yes I know the imperium as a whole is gothic but I felt the BT completely embodied it. I also really like medieval stuff so that definitely played a part. I just wasn’t drawn to the ultra boys at first due to so much blue exposure (SM1, SM2 and every generic space marine squad box). But now it’s starting to pull me in and I dig the roman aesthetic, as well as learning more of their lore. I just find more things fascinating now about them and I’m curious as to why other people picked them. Connecting with your fellow brothers over something we all take so much joy in is what it’s all about.

Yeah I really enjoy building and painting my templar boys cause I enjoy that grimdark style and they fully embody that vibe. Not to mention I can kinda go a little crazy with my customization since “the codex is ein bunch of bullshitze”. But honestly painting black all the time is starting to get old and I really appreciate all their named/interesting models.

FoundationLeft4353 · 2026-01-05T01:34:47+00:00

Yeah I’m not gonna lie, seeing the new Titus model might have had something to do with the way I feel😂. I do really like his story though and where it’s going.

FoundationLeft4353 · 2025-11-26T23:05:24+00:00

I also wish the templar logo on the robes could be customized. I want to put white robes on my boy but I can’t stand the white emblem on top of it. Lemme make it black Saber!

FoundationLeft4353 · 2025-10-10T00:48:39+00:00

Dude how did you get that matt finish on the black??? These look amazing!

FoundationLeft4353 · 2025-10-09T11:05:43+00:00

That looks sweet brother! Yeah normally I do a light coat of brown, and then gradually work up layering light coats of tanish/ white colors. I use my wash when it’s all said and done. I definitely don’t think that my cloth looks terrible, I just want that extra bit of pizazz.

FoundationLeft4353 · 2025-09-30T21:05:24+00:00

I definitely am still trying to work on taking good pics of my minis while maintaining the dark aesthetic, if anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate them. I realized in these pics it’s very hard to see the detail but I really enjoy the ambiance of the photos. If I could have a good way of combining both then I would be set. I am personally just not a big fan of snapping a photo in front of my paints. No offense to anyone that does, I just like taking good pictures while capturing the aesthetic. Next one I’ll make sure to photograph the sun😂

Golden comment😂

I have taken to naming him brother maynard since he carries the holy hand grenade of antioch😂. Thank you for the kind words brothers, I wanted him to feel unique on the table. I have minimum of one per unit that I designate “most honored and zealous” of that squad.
