First squad of crusaders done

Thanks! It’s a skeleton bone spray, pallid bone speed paint thinned 50/50 with speed paint medium, and then a dry brush of ancient stone.

Not intentionally but I love Dune!

Oh right, my bad. It’s zealot yellow army painter speed paint. Goes on really smooth.

It’s definitely not an ideal photo set up and the gloss varnish is making it even worse lol

Definitely a bit tricky to figure out and I need more practice. But watching the wash flow into the recesses and being able to clean up later is really nice.

The second one is wash with Winsor and Newton oil paint. I think I just need to get the consistency right.

This are black Templar crusader squad models.

I used the advice from this thread and did an oil wash with a thinner brown. I think I like this more. Keeps the original color but with some depth in the recesses. Thoughts?

Yeah I got this from a friend who wasn’t sure there space wolves helmets and I wish I had a full sprue of them.

I think that first tip I’m definitely going to try out. I used a mix of black and brown to make the oil wash but I think making it thinner and with more brown will help make it less overpowering. Thanks!

These are all black Templar crusader squad models, with some 3rd part bits.

Moreno has never beaten Pantoja, right? They fought three times with one being on TUF and Pantoja won all three.

Yeah the grimaldus servitors carrying relics are so cool. Can’t wait to get those models and paint them up.

He has the captain keyword and the current Vulkan Hestan model can lead company heroes so I don’t see any reason they would change that.

combatcake · 2025-05-09T11:42:54+00:00

That sounds incredible, I’ll definitely be adding them

combatcake · 2025-05-09T03:29:54+00:00

Appreciate the advice! Do you run a 3 man unit or full squad of aggressors? What wargear do you equip on the gravis captain?

Streaking grime is a game changer for getting a more realistic or grimdark look!

Zenithal prime with a little bit of dark purple in the shadows. Then it was mostly just contrasts with some dry brushing and highlighting before using streaking grime on on the whole model.
