Black Templars #5 (custom decals)

I have made some custom decals for my Black Templars.
They are only the chapter heraldic crosses, but I needed some smaller ones for shoulder pads with name plates. And in the newer Space Marine kits aren’t Black Templars crosses anymore.


I have used some cheap decal paper from Amazon for laser printers, worked very well.For the handling after the printing I find the liquids from Microscale very useful, which can be simply applied with a brush.
After the printing simply apply Liquid Decal Film for the sealing on the decal paper and let it dry. Then when you apply the decals first brush some Micro Set on the miniature. Applying then works like with every normal water slide decals (put some drops water on the decal and after it loses, slide it on the prepared place on the miniature and take the access water with some paper towel).
For a better adhesion and to minimize wrinkles apply Micro Sol after.

Chaos Knights #2 and Black Templars #4

The Chaos Knight is ready build and painted with the exception of the head and the heraldic shield, which are also painted but I wait with the assembly, till I have finished all heraldic.
For this I have bought some decal paper, which hopefully arrives in the next days, so that I can print some custom decals.
The knight also got a Icarus autocannon beside the two gatling guns.


Besides the knight I also started to build some more Black Templar from some leftover Space Marines. 
Next week the Faith and Fury campaign book will get released, so I hope they will get some good rules like the chapters of the first founding.

Chaos Knight (and a lost battle)

The last battle of the powerful warmaster Abaddon against the unworthy Ultramarines was shockingly not that great for the warmaster.
The lose of the initiativ, slow moving so that the first close combat was in the 4th battle round and a bad combat result from Abaddon himself (he only killed one Infiltrator. :O ) resulted in a defeat.


The normal Chaos Marines are not that great in the shooting phase, so I decided to reinforce the army with some heavy firepower of a Chaos Knight.
I build him with 2 gatling guns in a red and white color scheme.
Still wip, but already looking decent for me.
