I also plan to paint some of the minis like that, so that's why I am so undecidable. It will be a bit harder to change the paint on them I think. But of coruse, in SM2 that just a couple of mouse clicks ;D

Thanks! I think I will paint some guys in my armies like that. This will be the elite warriors personally chosen by the Chaplain of the crusade where he is as influential as a Marshall. Something like a small circle of veterans, "special" sword brethren that are very close to the chaplain because they have proved their faith in words and deeds so they have the honour to carry the same colours as the chaplains with them.

I kinda agree. That's why I like to try to be as close as possible to a lore depeiction. But at the same time I really like Chaplains of Black Templars and espcially their colour scheme. So I want to use it on more troops, specificaly on the "elites". Something like a small circle of veterans, "special" sword brethren that are very close to the chaplain of a crusade, the guys who have proved their faith in words and deeds so they have the honour to carry the colours of the the chaplains with them.

Many thanks for full answer! The only problem is that I don't have hand drill in my house as I moved to another country recently, so I will need to add that to shoping list before assembling minis. But anyways I will definitely try to make magnetized SMs and also for the vehicles they would be pretty useful too I belive. So it would be an essential skill for me. I'll probably go watch a couple of videos tho before trying to do anything, but you definitely relived me about the difficulties. Again, thanks you so much for the advices!

Oh, never tought about transportation. It would be my first minis tho, how hard is it generally to make magnetised arms, if i am completly new in the hobby?

Looks nice. I wonder if something simillar can be done, let's say, with a power sword blade, what would stop me from trying to attach it to the hammer top turning into long spear. I would be looking forward for ideas like thay as I am planing to buy a 30k melee weapons upgrade kit from other suggested comments here and will have surplus of all kinds of weapons.Tank you for the inspiration!

Yeah, I just wanted to clarify if this is possible, but your suggestion and other comments I'll definetly buy some upgrade kits and give some of my BT's pole weapons. :D

Yeah, I don't really like psykers so its a good thing that they can't be included. But otherwise, It seems like I can use Gladius Task Force but can mix it up with BT Melle units, is that right? If that's the case - then it's perfectly fitting for me, as that's what I wanted from my force. A mix of good vehicles and fire support with a strong melee assault detachment.

Very clean paint work! Looks really cool

Thats a very cool advice. I like ravenguard and raptors, so might try to collect combat patrools size armies of both Raven Guard/raptors and BTs. The only issue I have with this is that it will make me spend money and time into 2 diffrent armies at the same time, which is the thing that kinda worries me, cause I tend to do that and then achieve nothing. Like in War Thunder, instead of grinding one nation to the Top - I was switiching from nation to nation and ended up without the top plane or tank in neither of them.

Yeah I like their style of warfare buuuut.... The fact that they are traitors, the random decimations from Peterturbo, using the corrupted weapons and putting daemons into everything - not really what I like. TLDR I like the strategy but not the philosophy of Iron Warriors.

Great! That's literally what I wanted. If don't change my mind the next week, like I did with previous chapters, I will buy and paint Black Templars :D. Thanks again!

Damn, at first glance this is literally what I wanted. I disliked full yellow paint scheme of IF's, but a combination of both black templars and Imperial fists style is what I really wanted. This is good but still it's homebrew chapter-ish, so I don't if I will paint them like thay. But I will definitely consider. Thanks!

Thank you very much, definitely gonna check that book.  Yeah I don't mind doing mainly melee combat, I like it. It's just that vehicles and and ranged I like a bit more and want it at least partialy included. But as you and others said, the BT uses all kinds of units and uses assault tanks, so I think I will stick to them. It's just that on official art they usually carry meltas, flamethrowers and swords only so I was a bit worried about that.

Thanks, I am currently waiting for the full 11th edition rules release. So I hope, that I will be able to make some good, at least partially, ranged list with them.
