Space Hulk Terminators


Darklighter

Recommended Posts

When I saw that space hulk was coming out I got all excited about the possibility of the new Blood Angels codex being soon! This made me want space hulk more than ever, I looked at my wallet and found it lacking. I tried to convince my self the model quality was going to be rubbish anyway.

 

I tired to put it out of my mind and went in to my local store (the week before release) and saw all the model spread out over a table with every customer huddled around it. After hearing the hushed awe I had to look, to my horror the quality of everything, even down to the markers meant this was a must have buy.

 

I got home that day and asked my wife to get me a copy for our anniversary and made sure she new it had to be bought soon, as they would sell out fast! (at least they did in the UK)

 

I've finally gotten around to painting up my space hulk models (well some of them). My Blood Angel army has fallen out of favour over the years with not having a hard copy of the rules and Tau being my new love. This project has made me remember why I chose Blood Angels for my very first army.

 

I've batch painted all 12 models in terminator armour (including the man in the chair), but have tried to get them all to a high standard to reflect the brilliance of detail in their mouldings. I know I'd have done them more justice if I'd gone at them one at a time..... But I'm just not that patient.

And finally a quick work in progress.

I'll get on it, thank you Zeller.

 

I'm going to have to take a few notes on things to remember (like drilling). I'm going to try and make my whole army look like this. I'm going to start again with my army as my old models don't hold a torch to the newer models, some things I may revamp (pun intended).

Ok I have used the originals of images posted here and cut out the individual models so that the singular quality is higher.

 

I have however since posting these on a few forums altered the models a little bit. I've added detail to the scrolls and upped the highlights on the black areas and on the helms. I've taken a much better photo of them as well. I'm not going to post them here just yet as I've entered squad Lorenzo into the golden bolters and I'd like the extra work to be a pleasant surprise.

I hope you enjoyed these.....I think they still look much much better in person and the newer Photo's do them more justice, but you'll have to wait for them. :ph34r:

Thank you very much Demoulius. I hope others have enjoyed them as much.

 

I'm really happy with the way the crux terminatus look blown up like this large. The time spent on the red has means I've got it down to a fairly fast pace as well. I'm hoping that I can make my whole army look this good! A pipe dream but one I'm going to attempt as I'll be buying all new for the new codex (no I'm not rich, I've just been saving up for a while).

I've finally gotten around to finishing up my space hulk Librarian.

Let me know what you think.

 

I've just started on the Genestealers finished up the flesh and waiting for the wash to dry before moving onto the carapace. I'll post picks once they are finished.

I like the shading on these. The models definitely look like they're trudging through dark hallways. The camera is probably being unkind to your colors, maybe pose them in front of a darker background? The Librarian stands out, overall. Definitely the prize piece!
