Yay, finally a paintscheme has been decided!

Here he is, the first of many (I hope). I ordered lots of Black Templar bitz, that is to say, the upgrade box, as well as brass etchings , shoulder pads for terminators and regular marines, and some rather nice storm shields from Forgeworld.

However, I had decided quite some time ago I didn't want to paint them in Black Templar colours, mainly because I find black miniatures to be a little... dull. I'm planning a chaplain who will be in black, though.

Anyway, after buying the foundation paint Dheneb Stone, I completely fell in love with it. What a lovely colour. With the simple addition of some Skull White highlighting, and a Devlan Mud wash, you get a nice dirty white armour. Perfect for an army that spends most of its time slaughtering genestealers on space hulks. So I went with it, and I guess in a way, my marines are now White Templars. Fortunately, there's little to no fluff on these chaps, which is always good.

Anyway, one mini finished, 34 to go. Fortunately for me, I absolutely love terminators. Paix!
