Riverwind Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I finally think I got the colors I want. Now I just need to water down the paints more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Talk about a nostalgic mini! Nice job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Are you just painting this guy up for display, or are you planning on playing with it? 'Cause if you intend to use it in a game, you're gonna need a bigger base. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverwind Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yeah. I'm working on getting 40 mm bases. They're not going to be any fun to attach to the metal models though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother SRM Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yeah. I'm working on getting 40 mm bases. They're not going to be any fun to attach to the metal models though. They're not too bad. I use them on a hell of a lot of figures, actually. Take clippers (or some decent knife work) and get rid of a good chunk of the metal tab, leaving the rest of the area smooth. Leave a good peg of it in a strong place, like under the mini's foot. Put a hole in the 40mm base and stick this peg into it. Once you glue that in and the smooth parts of the figure onto the rest of the base, it's fairly solid. Sorry to threadjack - very nice paintjob by the way. Big fan of the bone and green contrast, especially in a nice split scheme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Love the old mini -_- The paintjob is very crisp and I like the contrast of the two colours. Top job i'd say :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverwind Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 'Cause if you intend to use it in a game, you're gonna need a bigger base. ;) No you don't. From what I've heard you need to have your opponent's permission to use a base other than the base currently packaged with that unit. So for casual play, probably not. But officially, termies come on 40mm bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Blank Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Regarding the base, that is an old terminator on the base it was sold with. Last I heard, you didn't have to rebase models onto new bases, just can't put new ones on old bases. Same is true for old Tyranid Monstrous Creatures on their square bases. I might be wrong, but I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Castus Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Wow, you just reminded me of the 2dozen old school termies i have sittin in my Bits tower. -_- Good work on the model though, the others covered basically all i was gonna say too xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Some companies (notably Mongoose) produce 40mm bases with the option to make slots in them. You might be able to find some. However, absolutely nothing, anywhere, says that you have to rebase your Terminators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
