@FRSHGOST I wish autocorrect wasn't ever invented. It is now the go-to excuse when people misspell something, rather than just saying "my bad". Autocorrect doesn't autocorrect words to misspelled words; just the wrong words. If the word is misspelled it's user error (either a lack of knowledge or a typo).
From a Black Templar fan over here, that’s a great battle force and lovely painted, my man. And that Chaplain is definitely one of the best kitbashes I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot. Keep purging for the Emperaaahh 👍🏻

Eric I can only go by what the video show. So with saying that, I think your painting of your chaplain was just as good as the one you bought. I know that I am missing fine details that are lost on camera, but what I see is amazing. Your eye and knowledge of colors and sharing that with everyone helps even a new painter. If I was a player, it would be a honor to field a army painted by you. Great work all around.
I mean at the same time the old colour scheme got retconned in the current 40k into the fallen and for the absolute og dark angels colour scheme theres the consecrators that still have the red line on their helmets
Absolutely, the Black Templars do have a striking aesthetic! Their black armor, adorned with white and gold details, really stands out on the battlefield and conveys their relentless zeal and commitment to the Emperor.
I paint Fallen Dark Angels, so I know this feeling well. I like the combination of black, white, and red so much, I need to restrain myself from using that scheme on all my armies.
The "emotional damage" bit hit home.... I do custom figures and my wife does not care really...but one day she was looking at a display shelf and pointed to one figure and said "Oh I like that one." It was the one on the shelf that I didn't do myself.
That sounds like an exciting project! The Black Templars are such a fun chapter to build and paint, especially with their unique aesthetic and rich lore. Their knightly theme allows for a lot of creativity in kitbashing and customizing your models. The Sword Brethren, in particular, offer a lot of options for weaponry and personalization, making them a great choice for showcasing your painting skills. Plus, their background as elite veterans adds a nice narrative layer to your army. What units are you most excited to work on, or do you have any specific themes in mind for your army?
This combination of one of my favourite content creators with Army Painter paints is fantastic. I only recently started the transition from Citadel paints to Army Painter, so seeing what their colours/technicals actually look like on models is soooooo useful! Great video and brilliant models, cheers!
@@rexrules8895 Google the Knights Hospitaller colour scheme and the Maltese Cross. I think you’ll find Malta is no where near the Baltics lmao. Also the Teutonic Knights use an either a simple cross or the what became the iron cross which is a bit different the Maltese cross adorned by the black Templars. I know for a fact imperial fists were inspired by the Teutonic Knights.
Your original video on the templars is what finally made me want to collect them and I'm even sticking to just warm colors to stay true to the old style.
Absolutely love Templars. My OC Chapter Donut Steel was a count-as Templars and I adored the upgrade kit they release for that brief window back in the mid-2000s.
Great video I had started 40 k with my own chapter ‘Nighthawks’ way way back with Rogue Trader and rtb01 space marines but when Third edition dropped with he black templars well I was hooked …. I have a few land raiders both godhammer and crusader patterns as well as a couple of kit bashes and forgeworld land raiders but I do have a few different squads of marines as well …. Love the channel keep the videos coming would love to see more of your Black Templars army … thanks for sharing 🍻👍
Your black templars look awesome, like straight out of Helsreach. Buddy painted 30k Angron for me because I could not get it to look worthwhile, it is my favourite and best painted model by far and I love it, sometimes I bring it out just to look at for a while then put it back on the shelf. It's aspirational for me I guess. Probably one of the many reasons why he has a golden demon pin and I don't.
@Eric’s Hobby Workshop The Maltese Cross in the black templars heraldry, is not the Teutonic order’s cross. Rather, it’s the cross of the Knights Hospitaller as their patroness is Our Lady of Philermos, at the Fileremos Monastery in Rhodes, since the cross is associated with her, as it appears in her Icon.
Hey, did you see a new Heroes of Might and Magic 3 board game just came out? It comes with all the creature miniatures from the game - and you have to paint them yourself just like with Warhammer!
The helsreach fan movie and audiobook were my intro into 40K! 2500 pts of Templars later and still going strong! (As well as 3k points of necrons… don’t purge me I just love ‘em)
You summed up why I love the Templars really well, they just fit what a Space Marine is supposed to be so well. So much so in fact it's weird they aren't a first founding chapter.
I think that might actually be Belial but melle check Edit: yes it is Belial. The scabbard is in the same place (right hip, facing upwards) the Lion doesn't have the scabbard
When painting black vehicles I use one of two methods, depending on what effect I'm after. The first is I drybrush the entire model with a dark grey lLike Adeptus Battlegrey) over a black undercoat before doing directional edge highlighting with a mid-tone grey (like Codex Grey) The second is doing straight directional edge highlighting directly over a black undercoat. Definitely a little more time-consuming, but it works for me. (Especially since I don't have an airbrush.)
a little comment on the black colour in Chanel and other fashion brand, it's due to WW1 aftermatch, where so many people were mourning their deads, during the conflict and the "spanish" flew brought by US expedition corps that almost everyone was wearing black, and Channel was tiered of that so she decided to make it fashionable (at least the legend say so) Black is also the colour of austerity (still related to space crusader monks). There is books talking about how we perciev colour and they often are inherited or influenced by issues to get those colours in ancient time, like yellow and green being colours that were turning , but ofc today with modern technologie and society evolution most have evolved.
6:41 That is a common misconception a tabad worn by knights stops at the waist a scapula worn by priest and nuns continues to the ground... Hiince why you see Paldins were it is fanstasy as while it's less practical it's more sacrid... Still great video and I actually do have your greatest fear as something that happens far to often with me and yes it sucks each time.
Since your templars stole their look from 30k dark angels, I'll stole your tutorial about painting a tank for my spartan and protheus for my first legion. Great video as usual. Keep it up. I really enjoy your take on every aspect of this hobby
heck yeah, man.. I just started my own Black Templars. Orks, Guard...kind of flirted with the idea of Blood Angels...now I've finally found the Space Marine chapter that speaks to me.
I always liked the Dark Angels and they are my favourite space marine chapter due to their knightly aesthethics. But it is always fun to see the painted knightly space marines no matter what chapter
I will never not think that the Black Templars are eating the Imperial Fists lunch. It’s funny how a Fists successor has its own codex and has more unique characters and units than the Imperial Fists themselves. The Fists themselves are cool but their coolness is kind of hidden under a bushel, the Black Templars wear their coolness on their sleeve (and shoulder pads, and backpack and tabard). Great vid as usual Eric, clearly a lot of thought went into it. But you showed me a blood angel and now I’m hungry.
Great work! Thanks for the many painting tips! What glue do you use to stick the magnets on the bases? I often find that the magnets are stronger than the glue I use and stay on the metal surface rather than on the base.
Honestly, really feel like the goth or secretive elements you like in black templars could be found in Dark angels. So for you, (or black templars players) what was the difference that made you go for them instead of DA ?
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop fair enough! I was thinking of the ravenwing with the black armour but it's indeed true that all black templars are black, to the opposite of only the ravenwing
Black Templars and Dark Angels are my favorite chapters purely based on aesthetic. Robes with the power armor just look so cool. Love the Angels more typically but Templars have a MUCH better color scheme.
The problem I have with Black Templars is that I also like Salamanders and combining the two into a Salamander successor chapter just looks like Black Templars with Salamander icons. I think the main thing I like about the Templars is the red and yellow weapons with flames that goes with the black and white. It looks good to my eyes. The same coloured weapons with Salamander green just makes them come off as too festive. Salamanders, Blood Angels and Black Templars are my three favourite looks of Space Marines.
I definitely want to do Black Templars as my second army, my first and current is Thousand Sons! Definitely want to do some grimdarking, but still very new to this stuff!! If you know of anyone that has done grimdark Thousand Sons (specifically the Crimson Sons warband that I'm following the color scheme of) I would really appreciate a pointer!
I have 3 favorite space marine chapters 1. Black Templars, 2. Raven Guard, 3. Crimson fists and right behind that would be my 4th favorite the Iron Hands but we don’t need to talk about that for now
I'm an Iron Hands collector. Black armour is cool. Like The Black Knight in A Knight's Tale. A friend of mine has Black Templars, so that put a stop to me picking them.
You could both have Black Templar armies, and then fight over the tiniest differences in dogma; such is the tradition of the Ecclesiarchy in our world.
Black Templars are so 40k; unbridled bigotry. Is there an option to just equip all of the troops and vehicles in an army with a just a mix of flamers and melta weapons? The landraider and minis look excellent; very sharp. Maybe a tiny amount of weathering on the larger decals could give them a more organic look; like they are actually painted on to a massive war-engine? Thanks for another great video; very chill, and yet, concise and clear.

That scene with arriving crusader army from kingdom of heaven always gives me goosebumps

No offense, but how do you know that? The Teutons fit the bill of cruel, slaughtering crusaders a bit better, especially in the Baltic crusades.

You could try that silver sponge on the terminators and other vehicles too
This is good for me doing Horus Heresy Dark Angels. Love your models alot
