I picked up this set, traded the Necrons for another Marine half, and assigned the Eradicators to my Imperial Fists and the Outriders to my Raptors. After putting together my new Fists army list I realized I hadn't used most of the new models. Turns out I have enough to easily build a 1000 point/50 power melee army and between their abilities and as fellow sons of Dorn, Templars made the most sense. This conversion will be the icing on the cake.

The conversion of the Time-Turner hand is really cool; and it frees up the hourglass to go on the of a staff for a Librarian.

Awesome looking mini! I’m looking forward to seeing more Primaris Black Templar models from GW. The Judicar mini is made to be an Emperor’s Champion, in my opinion. Thanks for the tutorial, I’ll definite be using some of your tips and tricks to create my own Emperor’s Champion.

I've adjusted it a bit recently to get a little closer to where I'm working. The auto-focus is a little trickier to maintain now but I think I've got the hang of it now.

I think I am addicted to your convertion videos. I keep watching them and it seem it's never enough.

Getting my Indomitus box later this week, already planning on running BT and doing this conversion. Wish me luck!

As far as i remember about the Black Templars and the Champion, the "Armour of Faith" is merely the best armour in stock when the Champion reveals himself. So this leaves quite a lot open to interpretation and freedom to variate. Yay Liberty!

Honestly this is such an amazing and simple conversion that leads to such a beautiful model.

this is crazy, I am converting my very own right now, 99% the same as this! Now i can see what the end result would be. Nice!

I got ahold of plastic magic glue because of your videos and it's made one of the biggest changes to my hobby work since swapping to a wet palette lol the brush is amazingly easier to use

Beautiful looking model! Once they come out with an easier to get version of this model, I'll certainly be trying this out!

absolutely dying for this painting tutorial!

Amazing job again Pete..... looks simply amazing 👏

My biggest gripe about this is actually the lack of a second shoulder pad on the right arm. :p

This is just wonderful. The judiciar is one of the coolest models, and it became a perfect emperor's champion. With a point on the sword, he can't be Severian anymore, though. That reference may be a bit too old, but it's a great set of books.

Can't wait to do this build! As like many others Templars will be big for indominus

I remember buying the emperor's champion when it first came out and had rules for including in any sm army. I repositioned the sword arm a bit and added a blank chaos shield from the fantasy line. So he is standing there pointing his sword at his next target. Wish I had bought all three kits at the time gods I love metal minis.

This is brilliant. I also love the paintjob. Thank you for the inspiration!

Nice work as usual 👏 I don't know if there's one available on any kit, but a Black Templars Cross (the one that looks like an Iron Cross) on the sword hilt instead of the skull would of been an additional sweet touch ✨

Ha! I had the same Idea when I first saw this model ^^ Really well done :)

Wow, you converted my favourite new model into my favourite old model

I can recall seeing a conversion when the black templar kits first came out i think it was maybe 2006/7/8 or I'm WAY off. Someone attached a round shield fo the left hand of the emperors champion (when it was recent) model and it was SUCH an effective change Also some beautiful carnifex conversions in an issue of white dwarf. The big one that sticks with me was a carnifex on a wall bearing down on some unwitting space marines

Great job

I like that huge berserk sword he got

I think the only criticism I had is to snip the chain on the left wrist to "straighten" it so it looks a little less pressed against the robes since it could snap over time. But seeing it like that gives it the illusion of it swaying as he walked too. I'm torn. Conversion looks amazing!

Cool conversion. When the unpainted model was "leaked" i thought it really was the emperora champion.

Honestly, better looking that the newer champion model

Awesome I'm using these for my Dark Angels judiciar

This is such an amazing model. I wish it could be used for the space wolves.

Converting the Judiciar to a Primaris Emperor's Champion was one of the first things I thought of when I saw the model. I however would use one of the pointing hands from either of the Captain models to make him issuing a challenge.

Wow. Instant follow 🙌

Yeh I think this is better than the new model IMO

It’s funny that he made all these Black Templar Kit Bashing videos to update the models when the real updates were right around the corner.

Bloody love it!

looks awesome

at this time they have already released the updated black templars but i still like your version of the Emperors Champion over GW's version

Gotta say, I'm super surprised you didn't put a chain connecting his weapon to his arm. As always though; great conversion and video.

He definitely looks the job of the Champion!

Once again, this is an awesome tutorial for a relatively simple and easy conversion. The only minor change I could make would be attaching a bolt pistol hand instead of the original hand without the hourglass.

@PeteTheWargamer

His robe isn’t my bone of contention. It’s the lack of shoulder pad on his right shoulder, coupled with the weird angle of the chain in his left hand and the weird angle of the sleeve on his left arm.

Cool!

Crazy how adding a point to the sword and a simple head swap turned my least favourite Indomitus marine miniature into my favourite.

Awesome work as always, I’ve got a massive BT army and love making different models to represent the EC. One thing I saw with this conversion, and it’s probably due to the sculpt, where’s the right(sword arm) shoulder pad?
