This is my Black Templar army project. It is a 400 points combat patrol army. I chose 400 points because I'm a really slow and lazy painter, and because I can pay special attention to every single mini because the army isn't too big. I have chosen two Crusader squads. The first squad is armed with close combat weapons, and is mounted in a rhino to get into close combat as soon as possibe. The second Crusader squad is armed with long range firepower to back up their mates while they get into close combat. So I'll start with the army list:
CRUSADER SQUAD 1. (The close combat squad)
- Sergeant with power fist and bolt pistol (army leader)
- 9 marines with bolt pistols and chainswords
- Rhino with smoke launchers
CRUSADER SQUAD 2. (The shooty squad)
- Sergeant with bolter
- Marine with heavy bolter
- Marine with plasma gun
- 7 marines with bolters
=399 points
As I said, I want to pay special attention to every single mini. I want every marine to be unique, and look like he is a hero. Inspired by the Black Templar artwork, I want to have lots of chains. The marines will have chained shields, swords and other equipment to their backpacks and armour.
This is what I have done so far with the army
This is the "shooty" squad

Shields strapped to some backpacks
This is a sword chained to a packpack. This will be the sergeant of the shooty squad backpack. The sergeant only have a bolter, but I liked the idea of the sergeant having the option to fight in close combat too (not in the game, but theoretically). After all BT's are close combat fanatics, so it would be strange to have a sergeant not able to fight in close combat ;D
Black Templars are fanatics, so I thought it would be cool to have a guy that has chained a shield to his torso.
I'm sorry for the crappy pictures, I'm not a photographer ;D I will post up more soon, but as I said, I'm slow and lazy, so it might not be that soon ;D.
