JetfireUK Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi All, Here's my latest figure - the plastic Chaos Terminator Lord in Night Lords colours. I really liked the kit and would like to build a couple more due to the amount of options that are available. I did a very slight conversion - I took the right shoulder of the combi weapon as it was straighter than the arm of the combi-flamer. I deliberately didn't highlight the blue parts of the armour as I didn't want it conflicting with the lightning bolts. I also used a lot of the brown GW wash to give the Tin Bitz armour plating a tarnished and worn look. Just for fun I've included a picture of the 2007 Metal Terminator Lord - I personally liked the figure although it was in a rather static pose. As always I'd like to here your comments and criticisms as it helps me to become a better painter. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL270519.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL270518.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL270520.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL270522.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL270521.jpg Next on my list is the Chaos Terminator Squad!

nurglespuss Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Looking good :> that tin bits works really well as a contrast to the blue. cool! The only bit I don't get with that kit, is the legs in seperate sections (it was useful to me when making a terminator character) but seems a little unnecessary. I mean, there are no alternatives on the sprue! Its a bit like the seperate shoes on the Ogre sprues, why?!

Blackavar Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The stonework's exceptionally good - how did you get it so weathered? I've got my own Terminator Lord to paint soon, I'd love to get his base looking as good as that! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145190-chaos-terminator-lords/#findComment-1683266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my own Terminator Lord to paint soon, I'd love to get his base looking as good as that! ^_^ Hi There, Thanks for your thoughts on the base. I undercoated the whole base with black spray and then painted three thin layers of scorched brown. I then washed the whole thing with Danub Mud. When the wash was dry I lightly dry brushed two layers of Snakebite Leather, then dry brushed Graveyard Earth followed by Bleached Bone and finally Skull White. I found that a light dry brush for each layer really brought out the stone work.

Honda Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 First off, excellent blue, lightning, metal, stonework...just Wow! But...<and you knew there might be one coming ^_^ >, I really think you need to give his cloak just a tad more attention, maybe even some freehand. This guy looks just awesome, but his cloak looks like it came out of a second hand store. Even if it was just some additional highlights and perhaps the dirtying of the bottom bit...he really deserves just a bit more love. I really like what you've done. Keep up the good work!

Your comments about the cloak are spot on - it's great having another pair of eyes on the figure. I'll see what I can do to make it looks less 2nd hand and more battle hardened. I'll post some more pictures once I've had a go at it.
