Kitbashing a Space Marine Outrider into a Black Templar Zealot. Afterwards, I go into some details on how I painted him to match this awesome new aesthetic. While itโs not a full painting tutorial, it does include tips that I think some may find useful. This somehow turned into a Christmas Special ๐
Kitbashing bits:
Black Templars Sword Brethren Arm + Shoulder pad
Sisters of Battle Kill Team Upgrade Sprue for the Icon.
Space Marines Outriders
Black Templars Upgrade Sprue for the extra parts.

If you've noticed the odd shift from the white background used for kitbashing to the concrete one for painting, it's because I kitbashed this several months ago and then had some analysis paralysis when it came to painting it ๐. You might have even seen it in the background of some of my videos. ๐ Merry Sanguinala, Everyone! ๐
Really nice!
Gonna have to disagree with the red purity seals but other than that I think it came out great!
You really saved this easy to build model from being boring and generic. Great conversion!
Love the energy
Very nice job. Love the homemade wash!
so what was this amazing gold paint???
Perfect. Love it
I really like that you include your mistakes and pitfalls. If you do not show what can go wrong and how to fix it, then the inexperienced viewer might encounter it himself with maybe noone to help and eventual frustration.
Frankly, you did a great job
That by gold is amazing, what is it you use?
The icon bit was a big "trust the process" moment. I love it when I have no idea just what the hell I'm doing and it ends up exceeding my expectation
Sometimes i think black templars are for people who love the Kitbashing part but hate the painting part and just slapchop Hightlight or drybrush some black armor
Amazing work, Sigismund would be proud to ride one of those beasts sword in hand.๐ก If i have to make a little observation, i think you could have drilled the exhaust pipes, or at least working more on them by adding some smoke/burnt effect. You put great attention to almost every detail, looks kinda weird a complete closed exhaust (i can see even a mold line), don't u agree? But i think working on that icon has drained almost all of your attention ๐ Anyway this is fantastic, you gave me some insipiration for future kitbashing project.
the I've had too much coffee moment made me laugh
Simple, but amazing looking!
i now need outriders for my Templars… thank you for showing me what my list was missing
Wow I need that gold, what is it??
What type of gold metal paint are you using?
Nice work. Whatโs the mix ratio for the homemade wash?
Basic Primaris may be plain but they make superb canvases and now they're making more and more Chapter Specific Primaris models so, best of both worlds.
I think you should make a model like this and put it into a golden demon. Youโd win for sure!
