slah Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 As I´m busy renovating my newly purchased house I haven´t really had the time to work on my rhinomonster. Instead I´ve been relaxing with 2 squads of terminators, and the first is now ready for paint :D http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Space%20Marines/terminators/IMG_1852.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Space%20Marines/terminators/IMG_1848.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Space%20Marines/terminators/IMG_1849.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Space%20Marines/terminators/IMG_1850.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Space%20Marines/terminators/IMG_1851.jpg Allthough I´m using Crimson/Imperial Fist shoulderplates I´m not gonna paint it blue or yellow (it might have some connection to Imperial Fists though - I haven´t completely decided yet). Hope you like it - please give me all the criticism you can think of :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother varen Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I love the pose you made. What head is that and where is it from? Can't wait to see the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Lots of character in this dude. Great! 10 of them will be a sight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semnos Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Very impressed by the head and the sculpting on the communications mic. Very nice! It's the little details like that which I think makes a model stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 that's looking pretty awesome. great use of bits and a really dynamic pose, like he's about to use the storm shield as a battering ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch«•»Angel Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Very impressed by the head and the sculpting on the communications mic. Very nice! It's the little details like that which I think makes a model stand out. ditto that. i two was impressed. but i guess i have to ask where that head is from. is it from the catachan command squad box set? or perhaps a shaved down space wolves head? you got a good start. looking forward to seeing more of it. edit: im pretty sure its from the new space wolves sets isnt it?

slah Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks :) And it is a head from the catachan box that I´ve shaved the bandana off. Terminator 2 should be along shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Looks great. Not a fan of bare heads, but this one is very characterful. Looks a lot like Darnath Lysander! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Can you make that pose just using the components in the terminator assault squad box? (without cutting or GS-ing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I LOVE that pose, it's so termy, not a quick dash forwards but just the sense of unstoppable might marching forwards. Please tell us if we can rip off... im mean imitate :D this idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Weapon to the Goolies Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Very nice- What with all of the skull'n'crossbones motif, you could actually paint this one-man bastard squad up as a member of the Legio BXC!! I say go for it. My own preference is that even a TH/SS fella has a StormBolter hangin' off a strap somewhere on him...at some point, you know he's gonna bury his T-Hammer in some unlucky IC's torso, and be unable to retreive it...;) Then again, that's just my preference. Wonderful posing, excellent use of a characterful face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 One thing that bothers me is the use of 3 medalions (do they have a name?) i say lose the ones on the leg and shield. Other than that, looks great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slah Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 @verpine: It´s straight from the box, so with a bit of fiddling around you can easily make a terminator in the same pose. @tutteman: Steal away :D @nemesis weapon: I actually considered this because I really want the minis to look "cluttered", but a stormbolter is just too big for him - couldn´t fit it in anywhere. I´m toying with the idea of coring a helmet and hanging it at his waist though. @Lavaman: I have to say that I don´t really know the fluff enough to know if several medallions is a nono? However they are most likely gonna stay for 2 reasons. Allthough the pictures doesn´t really show it that well, I´ve added the medallions at angles to enhance the sense of movement and the twist in his upper torso. Also I want to make them look ancient and venerated, and I figured that decking them in distinctions helps with this (and just for the record he actually has 4 of them B)).
