Templars Predator Annihilator... (BT Tuesdays pt.3)

 

There she is, this single tank has killed more enemy units than any other in my entire BT army.  Originally I had modeled her without the sponson Lascannons but added those later to increase the destructive capability.  With the addition of POTMS this guy can really do some damage.

Here's a few pictures of the entirior:

  

The above pic has to be one of my favorites pics I have ever taken.  I think it gives him a little bit of a sinister feeling dark and shadowy.

 

This is the same pic but with a little more light added to it.  Seeing this now year later it makes me wish I had painted the monitors and not just the radar....  Oh well, now its a note for self for self in the future.

Warhound Princeps (3)

A titan, one of the most powerful war machines ever created by humans is commanded by a Princeps.   He holds destruction in the wisp of a thought as he controls the titan through the MIU, a simple thought can bring the titan to full out run, or fire one of its massive weapon arms.  Shown above Zachariah "Iron" Sterling, Princeps of the Warhound Titan Canis Vulpis.  Right after I painted this I decided the yellow cuffs needed something else so I added black braiding, and then the camera died, so at some point I'll update the photo.   He has a SM head, WH Fantasy chest, greenstuffed arms and epaulets, and the hands and legs are from the sentinel pilot sprue.

Moderati crew, I used SM heads and filed down the bottom to fit the Sentinel bodies.  I then used green stuff to make a little bit of chest armor and to get the arms to fit correctly.  The cockpit itself is just cardboard, and bits from various kits.

Here's a better shot of the cockpit and controls.  You'll also notice a magnet on the back, currently the head is magnetized for painting but I'll remove the magnet and glue the head in place once it's finished being painting, which at the rate I paint could be a bit.

Templar Tuesdays (2)

It's Tuesday again, and with it comes the next picture of my Templars.  This one is especially bad, maybe after this I'll take new photo's to put up here.  Notice the unfinished bases, or even the different color bases...  Not one Templar in my army has a finished base, back then I just wasn't interested in that part, I just wanted to get them painted and onto the table top as fast as possible.

Now, when I first started BT I had painted all these guys bog standard white shoulders and black armor.  Then over the years as I expanded as saw other BT and SM armies, I tried incorporating different aspects of what I'd seen.  For example I decided that anyone in the squad could have a back banner, and they back banners would all be different.  I used heads from Chaos or from the Wolves, and I tried to modify the armor a bit to match some of the armor seen in GW drawings as seen here or here, or created by people like Scibor.

Na ya, it was fun, but as you've probably noticed by the name of this blog, no matter what I tried with my BT I was always pulled back towards Imperial Guard.
