Hi all I'm back again You can all thank Nathanielthorne for this thread Last year I bought the Forgeworld Showcase Space Marine and painted him as a Black Templar.... BUT NOW......He's being re-painted as a Smurf . I'm pleased with how he's looking at the moment, more progress tomorrow hopefully. Anyway, hope you like. Cosmic

Although I am horrified that the Templar is no longer with us, what you have done so far looks as though it will be truely epic in its final glory.
Yum Yum.
If only they did big-sized Guardsmen. Or Tyranids.....

I am honoured thats looking great Haha cheers mate I know, it was a tough decision whether or not to repaint him. He will be missed *salutes* But thank you That would be great! I seem to remember seeing somewhere that there did actually used to be a large scale Tyranid, I think it was a Termagaunt or something.....might have been a Genestealer.

It was a hormagaunt bust, I have one, they also did a showcase scale Abbadon, and a plaguebearer... Hey we should do squads!

Squads of showcase size models... *shakes head* I always knew you were a crazed genius Nathaniel As for large scale Guardsmen... the largest I could think of off the top of my head would be the "Inquisitor" scale Guardsmen. Not a huge selection, but certainly candidates for conversion/greenstuff. Cosmic, the Black Templar was truly an awesome sight... but the work so far is amazing (Nathaniels "Rust" technique certainly seems to have worked for you!).

I've always wanted to have a squad of these! Thanks Gabriel, although I didn't use Nathaniel's rust technique. Mine was the sponge technique

This is really epic. How are you doing the scorch marks on the blue armour? Is it a bit of stippling with orange or brown?

Thanks Chem, it was done with a sponge with just just Bestial Brown, Chaos Black and Mithril Silver.
I'm sorry to say that this will be sold, but before I faff about with eBay I want to see if anyone here will want it.
£200 ono, PM for details, I'm also selling my Imperial Guard and Space Marines, see the 'Trading Post' section for details.

As always; superb.
Just as I've never a seen a showcase model before do you think you could put up a size comparison.
Can't wait to see the finished product!

EBay is frustrating. As a new seller I had to wait 21 days for my money, only got it the other day. Just because 2 people didn't leave me feedback. Then they'll take their percentage off what I got soon.

The size comparison tells all - he's like a reaver titan, with a bolter
