    If they need bling, make all their bolters/bolt pistols gold.

    If you're talking about the black being no fun, paint them dark grey and add more areas of red.

    Black is one of those colors that generally looks boring until you start using a bunch of colors, none of which are actually black, to paint it.

    You can make up for it by making your other colors more interesting, though.

    I'd like to see some Purple Templars, myself. Really, really dark purple, granted...but purple nonetheless.
    Malory: Jesus, God, Sterling. School girls?!
    Archer: Oh, those are just costumes.
    Malory: And I suppose that makes it better?
    Archer: Doesn't it?

    I've seen other colors used for templars in the past...

    However, I think it takes some pretty masterful skill to pull it off. I'm currently painting Darkwynns new Templar army using a very very dark grey as opposed to black to allow me to actually have shadows. Take a look at this blog entry:

    It will give a bit of an idea what I'm doing.

    Blue+Pink/Purple Templars = well done; generally not liked.

    Looks awesome, I pretty much just rattle canned the base and using that for my primary color...I started hitting as many details I can, they are starting to look better.
