White Templar progress #2

At first I painted all the loin cloth thingies white (building up from brown, while the armor goes from black to grey to white).

But later I realized they should be black, if they should be reverse colours from Black Templars. Also it looks a lot better as there isn't really that much black on the models, but a ton of white.

I switched the power sword to a power axe, +1s and ap2 is a better buff and he will likely survive until he gets to strike so it's all good.

Still thinking of switching the plasma gun to a melta gun or a flamer.

White Templars progress #1

So I started work on my White Templars, here's the Captain...

...Well, here he is, I switched out his torso and helmet. SO much better!

Here's the Crusader squad...

After I primed them I (of course) changed my mind. One thing that makes Crusader squads unique is the ability to go chainsword+bolt pistol instead of just Bolter so I switched out all their arms!
I even had to fix an extra left arm from a pair of arms meant for the gunner on an attack bike to make it work with the bits I had. 

Then I finally repainted their arms and started giving them some colour.

Of course on the first guy I did the shoulder pad all wrong, carefully filling in the trim with black. Only to then realize it should be white...

Switched the heavy weapon for a power sword (same amount of points!) for some extra punch in melee.
What's extra juicy is that because that guy isn't a character like the sergeant, he can't be challenged out and dealt with! Nifty.

White Templars. A bunch of total badasses, and quite literally the reverse colour scheme of the Black Templars.

FOR THE EMPEROR!
