Godfrey Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm working on my vow to complete 5 assault terminators for Black Templars, and here is the first one. Sorry, I didn't bother taking any wip pics. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Belga Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi Godfrey. First thing, great job on the painting, i really like what you did on this termie. I like the contrast between the head and the rest of the body, and your highlighting is quite goodm tho maybe a bit too heavy on the shoulder pads. but that's just me. I might be mistaken but it looks like you put two shoulder pads with crux terminatus on your termie, did you do it on purpose ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yea, I think I went too heavy on the high lighting on the shoulderpads also. I'll do it differently on the next 4 The right shoulderpad is from the Black Templar upgrade sprue. It is a skull over the maltese cross. I didn't take a good picture of it, they are similar.

Brother Belga Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yea, I think I went too heavy on the high lighting on the shoulderpads also. I'll do it differently on the next 4 Well it's just my opinion, i've never been very good with highlighting, i always find it doens't 'feel right'. The right shoulderpad is from the Black Templar upgrade sprue. It is a skull over the maltese cross. I didn't take a good picture of it, they are similar. Well my bad then. :tu: I'm looking forward to seeing the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 So, I worked a little on another termie. I tried a different color head, what do you think? I cannot get a good picture of these guys for the life of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 and for your entertainment, we have a terminator with a hammer. I went with a white helmet on this one. The lighting here could be better, i'll try to get some decent pics when I finish the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Mord Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Try tossing a little black wash into the creveses of the white helmet and then touching up the higher raised portions of the helmet with white again. This will keep some darker lines left in the lower lines of the helmet and give it a bit more pop (visually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thank you for the tip, and I do agree, it does need a wash on the helmet. I'll get around to it :) In the meantime, I'm trying to get the complete squad of 5 to tabletop quality. Here is the next one: More tips are welcome!!

VAGABOND Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 What greys are you using for the highlights dude, it's looking really nice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 What greys are you using for the highlights dude, it's looking really nice. :) I'm pretty lazy, so its just codex grey, and then second high lighted with fortress grey. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 That's what I use on my Deathwing, mines looks pretty similar to these guys. Keep the good work and keep us posted :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 So, I have finished my vow of a full 5 man Sword Brethren Terminator Assault Squad. Here is another shot of the hammer initiate, and the newest member of the squad. Then some group shots. Their helmets still need a dark wash, but I have work for basically a week straight now, so this will suffice for a bit. I also have here my next project! I am going to convert these 3rd ed terminators to make them look respectable. That's why I saved a lot of the spare bits that came with the assault termies. So, i'll end up with 5 claw terminators and 5 hammer terminators. Then I will have a 5 man shooty terminator command squad with 2 heavy flamers and a sgt. However, then I will need to actually make a HQ in TDA to go with them. Which means I will want two, one with hammer and shield, and the other with claws... Thanks for looking!! I do enjoy comments!

blackbabyjesus Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 those are the old 2nd edition plastic terminators, came out with the second iteration of Space Hulk if I remember correctly. The metal terminator you've got there is way older than that though, from much nearer the start of 2nd edition WH40k, round about 1992-1993 ish.

The metal terminator came in a blister with two right arms, so he had to be converted no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsa_terminators Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I saw these in the Vow thread, and as someone who also pledged Terminators I gotta say...these look great! My only. single solitary complaint/critique is that the white helmets don't have any real depth to them :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
