Black Templars

[Jaz]

HeyAll, thought I'd finally post some pics of my army.

Before starting my army, I read a great 'How To' article on GW.com about painting Templars with toned black by mixing increasing amounts of Scorched Brown into Chaos Black with a final highlight of Graveyard Earth. Their reason behind the brown tone had to do with the fact that power armour and vehicles from the Astartes are ancient and therefore should feel old and weathered. It also suggested using Bleached Bone instead of white to further the effect. I've used that procedure here on my across my entire army (with the exception of the Neophytes which should appear crispy clean and new).

i love them , very nice !!! a great start!

my only concern is that the nephyotytes faces are too shallow (the captains face is very realistic, but these faces seem flat )

But the painting is stunning!

The Bleached Bone instead of white is a really good look. Looking forward to the rest of your army!

Most of it looks quite good, but I'm not digging the neophytes. The black armor highlighted with brown tones looks amazing. It still looks black and your edgehighlights actually look well excecuted and subtle.

However, the choice of black/grey camo for the scouts makes it look like it's an edgehighlight gone terribly wrong. I think a scorched brown base, with graveyard earth camo patter should look loads better, while still being nicely tied into the rest of the army.
