I have spent the last month painting this Black Templar. I really love their esthetic and mood and tried to capture some of that with my painting and some small additions to the sculpt. I made my own purity seals to help give a sense of movement to the marine as he surges forward. The thin copper sheet also gives a better sense of scale than the thick plastic ones that comes with the kit. I also sculpted two blown out candles on his backpack and some impact craters on his right shoulder pad. Oh and the barbed wire I also crafted myself. Biggest challenge was the freehanded crosses and heraldry. It was a very enjoyable project and a step forward for me and my painting.
