Bladeguard Veteran is finished, and I'm super happy with the finished product. His sole purpose is to aura farm on objectives. I wish there were more models that had duster or trench coat-syle tabbards.

The lava recipe is just a heavy coat of Corax White with a layer of Flash Gitz closer to the solid ground, then a heavy glaze of Casandora Yellow. If anyone has a different recipe for lava, i'd love to try it out.

Managed to snap his banner relic off just above his hand, so I got to make my first attempt at drilling and pinning since starting this hobby. We'll see if it holds.

Current WIP. Bladeguard Ancient. Is he great? No. Did I take one look at that tabbard and think "This will look incredible done up as a leather duster? Very much yes. Also, who am I to ignore the chance to paint another banner/relic?

Thanks to @disgruntled_sergeant, who sold me this bad boy on the cheap.

Ancient from the Armageddon box. I'm a real slut for literally anything involving a war banner or relic carried on a stick. Can't get enough. Attempted something new and cheeky with my base. Built it up just a little with a technical, hit it with a bit of black contrast, and then did the lava flow with a bright white, yellow on the edges, and then the liberal application of an orange glaze.

Finally finished the big man himself, Merek Grimaldus, Reclusiarch warrior-priest of the Black Templars, Veteran of the Third War for Armageddon, Hero of Helsreach (as if there was only one), and Defender of the Temple of the Emperor Ascendant.

Particularly jazzed about how the Imperial Fists plasma pistol turned out. Eventually I'll get off my ass and finish his retinue of cenobyte servitors.

Black Templar Jump Captain finished. Decided to get silly and attempt a stained glass effect on his shield, which... turned out not to badly for my first real attempt at freehanding anything.

Leadbelcher for a light drybrush and edge highlighting. Way easier than trying that stupid blue/white for the edges.

Who knew a new hobby that requires hours of attention and detail would help me find purpose and mental regulation as I work my way through the retirement process?

Two more Incercessors done. Finally getting my plasma pistols to look halfway decent... might start experimenting with glow effects next time. Also might be the best face i've done yet. Hitting that tiny dot for the pupils might be the most nerve wracking thing I've encountered in a long time.

Shout-out to my wife, who takes way better pictures of my little guys than I do.

A Black Templar Apothecary, moments after granting the Emperor's Peace to a brother Templar. The main purpose of the Apothecary is not so much to save or to heal, but rather to ease the passing of another Marine in his final moments and to then recover that Marine's gene-seed for reintroduction into the chapter's genetic repository, ensuring the he lives on future generations.

Took a long time to finish this guy... might be my proudest piece yet. Even now, while posting, I see a couple things I still want to add to him.
