just this second finished my first terminator with the new scheme :)

ImageImageImageImageImageImage


there is a comparison with my old terminators, i originally bought two new sets to replace them since i was changing their scheme to match that of my space hulk terminators (same kind of scheme, except white instead of black bodies)

new one looks SO much better :)

my scripture needs work though...

Agreed, it looks reat. I think the scout needs some eyes though ;)

How are you planning to do the bases?

I like the way they look too.
can't wait to see an entire battleforce done up that way.

much appreciated guys :)

that tactical marine is done, apart from a little touching up in places (cleaning up the face, was painted months ago), i DID do complete eyes last night, but i suck at pupils, so, i've altered the fluff i wrote up for them

planets one big desert, hence the scheme, but the intense sunlight forced the natives to develop eyes that could handle the constant light, hence the white pupils :D

see, bad paint skills are easilly written off in a back story :D

oh and King, welcome to the dark side, have a cookie ;)

wouldn't their eyes be reflective, like silver color?

dont get technical with me D:

i do white eyes, blue eyes (librarians) and red lenses, nothing else :P

i tried just leaving them black, but people said it looked like i'd burnt their eyes out, so im compromising with the white bit :P

Ahhhhh! I usually just do my guys eyes (non helmet minis) as a black line since at these scales you wouldn't be able to see the eyes anyway.

sorry matt, missed your part about the bases

to date they've been as you see on the black terminator there, sanded blacked and greyed to represent the ash of thier homeworld (original Talus was volcanic, new Talus desert, hey, fluff can be a wonderful thing!)

as with the chapter name, im open to suggestions

im not that hot on scenic bases, though i do have one hell of a scenic planned for the titan, just need plenty of green stuff and a titan foot for foot prints through the mud :D


just realised that the eye balls are molded on, will refine the white line tomorrow to just cover that :)

asked a mate of mine to mock up a warhound picture with my desired scheme, so i could get a vague idea if it would actually work on the titan

he came back to me with this...

Titans for Girls! Coming to a Forge near you! M43*

*actual date may vary, please see terms and conditions, inquisition overrulling may apply


oh, and this for the final :P

Image

i think it could work pretty well

darker red with a few lighter highlights, bit of detailing here and there


and im posting this here, because even though its not the chapter scheme, it'll still work for them :D

Magnus Prime sound good for a titan?

Great job, I am normally a fan of the black uniform schemes, however if I had a choice I would be going for sand or bone. These fit the bill perfectly, the only reason why I don't paint bone or sand is that I can't do it justice like these!

Keep up the good work and let's see some photos of the vehicles when done.

im starting a rhino as i type this, waiting for the desert yellow spray to dry :P

it comes out like vomit brown, which is a big time saver for me since its a perfect base

as far as doing this scheme justice, i was actually terrified that i couldnt pull it off on a marine, i mean, my tau are just tau, to be honest with you i only bought them for a break from marines till i found a better scheme, i just kinda made the mistake of buying so much tau i could field an army of them

actually my biggest mistake was painting heroes first, makes me less inclined to change their scheme, but, ah well, live and learn :P

i digress though,

that tac was just a test model, the scheme will gradually be improved upon to the point where it doesnt take me 5 hours to paint a single one (yup, terminator took 6 hours, the tac 5, bloody washes dont dry very fast do they)

try it out yourself Criminal, see what its like, i mean, you dont know till you try right?




and if anyone out there has tips on an urban/desert camo scheme, lemme know please :)
