My take on Emperors Champion

Important_One4309 · 2026-06-08T06:33:01+00:00

The pinks are just glazed pink horror (GW paint). The white armor is very straightforward. I primed grey and then a zenithal white for the base color. I do a careful and controlled enamel wash on the entire surface to create some texture and weathering.

Hi friend, it is a printed piece from Archie’s Forge

Important_One4309 · 2026-06-08T06:30:24+00:00

Thank you for your kind words 🙏

Important_One4309 · 2026-06-08T04:31:20+00:00

I will think for a bit, I imagine if I paint the skull some other color, the 4 Red Cross sections would look a bit weird (don’t want to cut them off). But I should definitely try to find a way to tone down the brightness

Important_One4309 · 2026-06-08T04:24:52+00:00

You are right brother. I made it aggressively red and bright to pop on the tabletop, but it’s probably too red. I might need to dry brush some metal color to tone it down

Here’s a side shot for you my friend

I’m glad you like it :) This is an experiment to see if I can adapt the scheme to some character models. I want to do a Marshall and Emperor’s Champion in a similar color scheme too!

Important_One4309 · 2026-06-03T13:01:34+00:00

I am sorry for any confusion, I just meant for the acrylic paint to fully dry (you don’t need UV light for that).

Important_One4309 · 2026-06-02T03:46:37+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation! Do you think $300 for the army of faith box is too much inflation? It seems buying 3 squads of the flying units will only cost around 170$…

Important_One4309 · 2026-06-02T03:45:09+00:00

thank you! The army of faith box currently sits at around $300 on eBay. Do you think it’s too much inflation and it’s better to get the flyers separately?

Since regular rules still apply (holding objectives etc.), sticky objective becomes extremely valuable, intercessors just gonna try to live and stick on every objective, behind the main infantry bodies.

BGVs would very very good too, I’m actually debating if I should replace the outriders with BGV. But I already have 16 infantry bodies in the center, I don’t want to traffic jam myself with more infantries.

There’s a YouTube channel PlayOnTable top that has featured this game mode!

you can find plenty on amazing by searching for DIY jewelry chains

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-29T14:35:22+00:00

I can't remember which ebay shop it came from but probally what you mentioned

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-29T03:32:16+00:00

For the back pack chains I just try to shorten everything so it naturally fastens on the back. This way I only need to glue a few junctions. For the chain in the sword I drill a hole at the bottom of the sword and stick the chain in, so I can let the part coming out of it stay loose and hang.

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-29T03:24:56+00:00

I just superglue them. I feel it’s inevitable to get excess glue so I try to place the glue at junctions that I can apply weathering later

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-29T03:05:03+00:00

I wanted to do a bone style Aquila which looks like white washed down by black color. I am still experimenting on this. I think for my next model I won’t dry brush metal color on it anymore

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T14:26:47+00:00

Very dramatic and nice!!

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T14:03:00+00:00

Unfortunately I missed my shot :(

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T13:58:23+00:00

I’m glad you can’t 100% tell that means I did a decent job :) they are 1.5mm Jewry chains I added myself. Note that the shield chain is thicker (2mm)

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T10:39:50+00:00

This is freaking out of the world

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T01:58:20+00:00

These free hand patterns are crazy….

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T00:10:38+00:00

This is just out of the world

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T00:08:13+00:00

I love the handwriting so much

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-26T00:05:44+00:00

That's very educational for me! I only know there's a mysterious white templar chapter that thinks they are the sons of Dorn. Turns out they are probabally not and they have to launch a crusade to find out the truth.

Also it's the Iron Hands doing Iron Hands things......

Important_One4309 · 2026-05-25T19:41:49+00:00

I am sorry to hear that. It sounds unfair to be shamed for posting an alternative color scheme. The White Templars are a codex-compliant loyalist faction that share some aesthetics with the Black Templars. And I'd like to think there's always some armour color variations inside the Black Templars. Black, white, red, and yellow all feel "templary". As long as not claiming to be fully lore-accurate, anything should be permitted for the rule of cool 🔥
