NAILED IT! | Black Templars | Army Project | Warhammer 40k

[@rhag1394]

Those relatively small changes are really impactful! I like where this army is going and you're showing how black can be NOT boring!

[@ecMonify]

some of the coolest black templars i've ever seen! love the new red eyes, they look amazing. and the yellow on the weapons is something i asked for in the first video - looks so good! :D can't wait to see more :)

[@monkeyhammer]

I really like that style of eyes for these guys, helps direct attention and pop on the tabletop

[@lightningminaturesstudio]

Would love to see this scheme on the new deathwing terminators. Think it would really suit those new sculps and be a fun conversion.

[@Noir_Raven]

Amazing work. The idea to document the process, how you tweak the formulas and figure out how to achieve your intended look, is very educational. I've been trying to wrap my head around my own BT army project and watching you go through similar challenges is very encouraging. Can't wait for the vehicles !

[@TheAurgelmir]

Love the brown in the recesses. It really helps define the panels when you can't really go "darker" sas you can in lighter color schemes.

[@spencermoore5986]

Did he say how he got the brown in the recesses? Or was it part of the wash? These look different than the other black templar video from 9 months ago.

[@errata2412]

Looking forward to some tanks! For some reason highlighting a big square is hard for me lol

[@errata2412]

Also love these black templars!

[@CoryJohnsonfootsteps]

Absolutely brilliant! This is why I watch your stuff - you explain and think about color selection. I like where you landed over your terminators, but even more I like seeing that you were able to see what you wanted, because I had liked the terminator as well. I love the detail and time you put towards color and detail.

[@vinniebarkworth3420]

i always like it when its then applied to a vehicle to see if it still holds up or how you introduce more depth and interest when then dealing with large flat panels. love the muzzle burn like that it wasn't the typical blue and purple look. great video series overall!!!

[@cultofpaint]

I'll make sure we cover at least dreds and landraiders for this project on here.

[@Zable24]

Looks amazing! Using the older marks of helmet is a lovely touch. I would suggest mixing up some other parts as well, such as shoulder pads and backpacks, just to make each model a little more unique

[@cultofpaint]

I think a less uniform look is. Agood idea. To be honest these 3 units are really still just testers as I find my feet with it all.

[@Wijkert]

Love the iterative process myself too! Optimizing a color scheme, comparing previous versions with the most recent one etc.

[@Jahru]

Love the yellow on the weapons and the red eye lenses. Very good improvement!

[@Vovoxa7]

Wow this is the best paint job and aesthetic I've ever seen, I love the work and choices!!!!!!!

[@TheAurgelmir]

The eyelenses are a huge win on these. It adds that little "pop" to the marines. Gives off that "hunter in the dark" feeling.

[@CandyRaveParty]

Crusader squads sounds great!

[@pv_hobbying]

Crusader Squad and a land raider crusader.

[@paintertovey]

That black is spot on!

[@ByzantineReactionary]

These videos have quickly become my favorite. Very enjoyable and relaxing. I cant wait until you begin your Badab project

[@michaelstrange2285]

Amazing paint job, and an excellent video to break down the process. Nice G-Shock to go with the Black Templars, too!

[@robboozecruise2140]

I might have to use that wash combination for my BA Death Company, really like how it gives the black the battleworn look!

[@saltycola562]

Looking really (REALLY) good!!

[@craigcook5121]

Always magnificent paint jobs. You make it look so easy and it comes across as if anyone can do it. So good, cheers

[@ovan2190]

I think one of the biggest things I've learned through this first phase is that it's ok to think something isn't right, sometimes we can't see what but even someone with a lot of experience doesn't get it right the first time every time :) can't wait for the next video

[@jasoncarpenter5974]

These are the best Black Templars I have ever seen.

[@nathanielaldridge502]

looks brilliant guys !!!

[@chyeeeeee]

Great video as always Henry. I agree with you new bases are niiiice. Scheme looks sharp 👌

[@matthewmacdougall3198]

I'd love to know how you'd approach shading/highlighting the white on large panels like on tanks and dreadnoughts. Love this scheme, I recently picked up the Black Templars combat patrol and these conversions are really inspiring

[@cultofpaint]

I reckon we'll have dreds and landraiders for this project, so plenty of bog white panels!

[@donkratos5627]

That Jump Captain is an absolute BADASS… but, my heart broke when you chopped those laurels off 😫 lol

[@cultofpaint]

Not chopped off, they just sort of plug in. I'm still undecided with them

[@adwag3573]

Love, love love the old school helmets on the assault marines. Take that GW lol!

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

They look amazing.

[@parkerbutynski500]

Looking forward to a crusader squad! I definitely feel like that can be a great base for the army! Also, the eye lenses are amazing! It really makes them stand out on the black armor and a nice focal point! I might steal this as I was doing the same thing but yours is ace compared to my version.

[@nomusenopaint]

Funny how I thought initially that I like the Primaris helmets. Now I see you using the „right“ helmets it brings back all the nostalgia of my first 40k models and they seem to fit sooo much better and are way more iconic.

[@WD4wg]

Looking awesome! I mostly play kill team and a Black Templar Intercession squad might be one of my next projects. Will definitely be following your scheme if I do it.

[@adambman2]

I really like how that yellow turned out! It's weathered or just a bit faded, like some old motorbike, can or garage sign dug out of a barn, haha. It's not too pale and still has that oomf to it, even after the first two coats onwards Great to see old and new with changes like the eye lense glow, and imagine mixing or pushing parts of each for other chapters... After I saw the HH mk VI marines with jump packs, I wondered what you and Andy would think of them. The chest plate and harness is good to see! The jump pack itself is a distinctive style, I might need a better look at that, even though the new Epic scale guys have them

[@cultofpaint]

I'm a fan, not sure on Andy

[@Vorpal_Wit]

Looks great. I love the changes. If I ever get back to my Death Specters, I'm using this approach.

[@Wijkert]

I like to "fix" my pigments with water plus a little odorless/colorless dishwashing soap. I creates a different, more defined look which I prefer. Used to use alcohol instead of water. It dried much faster, but also created some problems when the mini was already on the model (damaging the paintjob a little).

[@8bitape]

They look fantastic, shoulder pads make a big difference

[@Beeercan]

Very Similar to the scheme I use, even down to the basing! I prefer Corvus Black as the main body as it can be darkened in the shadows and highlighted as it needs to. That yellow on the guns looks mega, may have to give that a go.

[@telepaten]

The warm yellow on the weapons looks really good against the dirty black and white armor

[@Grintendo]

I did like the orange basing. Can you share what paint you used?

[@goforitpainting]

Helpful tutorial as always. 🖌

[@rutgaurxi7314]

Very, very well done, looking forward to seeing how the Dreadnought and the rest of the Terminators come together, I especially loved the burn effects. In however long a timeframe it takes. I have probably mentioned this before, but having an XOF style guard would be cool, plus I don't mind if it's a paint scheme done entirely with oil paints, it might be more appropriate given their look in Ground Zeroes and in their NBC suits in the art book.

[@cultofpaint]

XOF?

[@rutgaurxi7314]

@@cultofpaint XOF from MGSV.

[@namewastaken360]

I think the sickly yellow bases are what really make it reminiscent of the John Blanche artwork.

[@namewastaken360]

I must admit that if this was my army I'd go for yellow chainswords too - but if it was my army it would be painted worse and more slowly.

[@cultofpaint]

I might go back in and do yellow chainswords. I think both pistol and chainsword being silver is a bit much.

[@dahSweep]

Is there a chance we could get an updated video now that shows the whole process? I find it a bit difficult to sort out the paint scheme with three separate videos that goes against each other hahah. I have a kill team of Templars that I would love to paint in this style and a complete guide would be lovely!

[@cultofpaint]

The next update I'll make sure there's a start to finish model in there.

[@dahSweep]

@@cultofpaint Great, many thanks!

[@lallsta_paints]

They look amazing Henry, digging the change to the eye lenses they're a lot more impactful. Look awesome all together. I would love to see the tanks and dreadnoughts, I find there are less useful tutorials out there for vehicles

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks! Promise I'll cover tanks and dreds for this

[@willjthomps]

Any advice on colors to use for capes and tabards that would go well with this scheme?

[@cultofpaint]

I'm gonna go for cream and red cloaks. Should cover them with the next unit.

[@benbrown3778]

Loving the outcome. Crusader squads are a good shout, as the Templar unique units, and a great way to get that ‘horde of marines’ feel. Moving beyond that, if it was my army, I'd be aiming for some modern versions of that oldskool marine army feel. So for me that's a an anti-tank Predator, some version of a Dreadnought (Brutalis?), and a centre-piece of an old favourite, the Land Raider. Homage could also be paid to 3rd edition, where the Land Speeder was introduced in the core set, and add a lesser spotted Speeder.

[@cultofpaint]

Landraiders and the Primaris dreds will be the vehicles for sure.

[@lambey6113]

How did you do the orange terminator base please?

[@benives254]

Will you wind up doing red shoulder guard trims on the assault marines? They do look amazing! I love blanche nods

[@cultofpaint]

No. But I'll look at adding them to the Bladeguard, I'm not really stressing about "official" scheme stuff.

[@benives254]

@@cultofpaint Nice. Rule of cool for the win!

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

Any thoughts of using a black templar kit for hospitallers? I was thinking of making them a grungy, damaged white. The robes can be red, but I was also thinking of using historical references. Any ideas how to make personal checkered heraldry like you do for these guys?

[@cultofpaint]

Decals. Get lots of decals and get confident using them!

[@Lsvn1957]

Can you compile the final paint recipe/scheme into one video or written list? Love the way these look and really want to try it myself but piecing the final scheme together from all the videos has proved difficult

[@cultofpaint]

Yes. Going to be updating the project this month and i'll include the "definitive" recipe.

[@slymarbo7613]

Looking great! I think crusaders would be a good next choice, they'd have some nice variety for painting with them mixing in neophytes and then the sword brother having the cape and red trim, or whichever colours you're gonna go for for sword brethren. For the guy with the red casing on his hand flamer is that the same method as the yellow but with mephiston? And if it is what highlight did you use?

[@cultofpaint]

It's the same paints as the lenses. So mephoston and fire dragon, with the same oil wash.

[@luke7834]

Do one Crusader squad and one Sword Brethren squad (10 men) and Oooof, that's a sexy army on the go!

[@ODonnchadhaBrian]

Those eye lenses though.

Fantastic work guys. So keen to see this force grow. What colours are you using for the weathered gas cannisters and verdigris on them? It is a really nice combo

Check out the verdigris video we did, it's got the full process.

Critical Question: How did you get the brown in the recesses? Or was it part of the wash? These look different than the other black templar video from 9 months ago because of the deep brown in the recesses. Your Templars look beautiful because of it!

[@reinhardtc.p]

Man,this project came out fantastic,can´t wait to try it myself. Surpassed all expectations. Also what where the oils you used in your white oil filtering recipe? When you did the pauldrons of the BT terminator? I feel it gave a warmer tone that complements the ochre base better.

[@cultofpaint]

I can't remember exactly, were they not in that termie video?

[@reinhardtc.p]

No,I checked video,description and comments just in case somebody asked the recipe already,but no,nowhere to be found.
