Templar Vehicle Ornaments - Vehicle Customisation Kit

Templar Vehicle Ornaments bring a commanding wave of devotional fury to your battlefield vehicles, with this comprehensive customisation kit packed with sacred icons, gothic architectural pieces, and battlefield relics. Every component in this set has been crafted in high-detail resin, with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, arriving ready to assemble and paint straight from the box. Whether you are building a battle-worn transport or a command vehicle dripping with holy iconography, this kit provides the pieces to realise your vision.

The kit contains an extensive range of decorative components including ornate side panels featuring crosses, eagles, shields, and skull motifs across three distinct style families. Gothic archways and stained-glass window inserts add towering architectural drama to vehicle rooftops. Skull and trophy chains, Maltese cross sunburst finials, candle clusters, flame braziers, gargoyle mounts, and hanging scroll banners round out the set. A detailed ram blade assembly and a decorative exhaust or intake grill piece are also included, giving you options for both functional-looking additions and purely ceremonial ornamentation. The Templar Vehicle Ornaments in this kit are scaled to fit standard 28mm scale wargaming vehicles.

This kit is designed for hobbyists who want their vehicles to look like relics of a brutal, faith-driven war machine rather than plain battlefield transports. Each piece is modular and can be positioned freely using standard plastic cement or super glue. The variety of panel shapes and sizes means the Templar Vehicle Ornaments work across a wide range of vehicle hull types and scales, giving you genuine creative freedom to personalise your army's transport pool.

The physical resin components are cast in grey resin and arrive unpainted, giving you a clean surface to apply your chosen colour scheme. All pieces are scaled and designed for adult hobbyists who want a high level of detail in their finished models.

The following steps will help you achieve a grimdark, battle-worn finish that suits the devotional, war-scarred aesthetic of this kit.

1. Prime

• Apply a black or dark grey spray primer to all components before attachment, or prime after assembly depending on your preference.
• Ensure full coverage in recessed areas such as the archway tracery and chain links.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat flat panels in a dark iron or cold steel tone, such as a dark metallic grey.
• For a bone or ivory heraldic look on crosses and devotional panels, use a warm off-white base such as ushabti bone or pallid wych flesh as your starting layer.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out raised edges and ornate trim in gold or brass to suggest a richly decorated religious hierarchy.
• Use a fine detail brush for the small skull faces, feather details on eagles, and the petal designs on rose window panels.

4. Weapons

• Paint the ram blade assembly in a dark, worn metal tone and add edge highlights to suggest repeated battlefield impact.
• Apply a thin rust wash around the base of blades and mechanical fittings to suggest long campaigns.

5. Weathering

• Apply a brown or sepia wash across all devotional panels to deepen recesses and add a sense of age and grime.
• Use a sponge or torn blister foam to stipple a darker metallic colour across flat panel surfaces to simulate chipped paint and combat damage.
• Dry-brush light silver over raised edges of chains, crossguards, and architectural spires for battle-worn contrast.

6. Bases

• These components are designed to be attached to existing vehicle bases or hull surfaces rather than standalone bases, so focus finishing effort on blending each piece into the vehicle's existing paint scheme using washes and edge highlights.

This is an adult hobbyist collectible, not a toy. Not suitable for children under 14 years due to small, detailed parts.
