This does, very directly, follow on from the previous post.
While i am still testing and printing and learning, paint has been spread, intent has been realised and the new Templars are now a thing...
So that's one squad of Tactical Marines with Rhino transports, and one squad of Predator Destructor tanks done. Also done are the Emperor's Champion and Marshal (supreme commander) character stands.
As planned i clipped the banner off the old Marshal stand and added it to the new fella. In the old one it was just stuck straight into the ground but this time around had a dedicated flag bearer'er.
And only a whole bunch more to go. This is the first of... 6 tactical squads, and another squad of destructors is to be done - then onto other models and vehicles.
Thought i'd get these ones done as a proof of concept batch to see how the paint work was going to go down etc.
Additionally as it's going to take more time to produce the models i'm probably going to end up with smaller batches like these between print sessions. May as well get them underway as they're available. Waiting until everything is done is a waste of time.
Thoughts: the models still have a tinge of 'cartoony' which i still like well enough. i saw some fine detail 6mm which were amazing and really highlight the difference, but i still like these guys. The swords are a bit beefy but those kind of aspects are going to make the models a little more resilient to dropping or rough handling. so still happy.
The only thing i might do is drop a dollop of paint on top of the bolters as there's a tiny bit of striation on that surface that's somewhat ugly and difficult to sand cos it's so small. very minor.
Until next time...
