CONVERTING AND PAINTING THE EMPEROR'S CHAMPION
Nearly every Black Templar force you're going to face on the tabletop, or build up as your own, will have an Emperor's Champion in its ranks. Clad in the Armour of Faith and armed with the Black Sword, this slayer of all things evil is the living embodiment of the Chapter's ideals. As such, it makes sense that this model should strike fear in your opponents. Thus, you might want to lavish extra attention upon the Emperor's Champion of your army.
The Black Templars defend an Imperial shrine from attacking Orks.
To fire up the creative juices that I know are lying dormant within each and every one of you fearless champions of the Emperor out there, I set out to build a pile of unique Emperor's Champions that I'd be proud to game with. In the end, I came up with four creations that range from a simple weapon swap combined with the existing plastics to more complex undertakings.
Then, not satisfied with a mere four models, I enlisted the help of long time Black Gobbo contributor David Robinson and newcomer Martin Cox to build and paint another pair of fine Emperor's Champions. Now, with the six sweet conversions on the following pages, you have no excuse not to get excited and build one of your own. At this point, I'm sure you're sick of reading (are you even reading this stuff?) and want to see some models. Start the journey below, young Neophyte...
