Shortsonfire79 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I was thinking of doing this with my own SH. You have showed me that it is possible to do it and make it look good! Wonderful, thank you! Your ultras look fantastic as well. I scanned the thread, and your painted ultras are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful, thank you! Your ultras look fantastic as well. I scanned the thread, and your painted ultras are wonderful. Thanks. Looking at some of your previous conversions Im sure you wont have any problems swapping the pads In hindsight I wish Id ripped all the pads off and replaced them with Forgeworld ones. The SH figures are dynamic and have great details but the crux mouldings are terrible. Some are really flat and others have hardly any detail to them. I'll get an update of this mini later this weekend (I cant get away with paining on valentines!!) as I finished the assuly cannon last night.

Chaplain Desmodus Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Coool, can't believe I didn't see this one before. How did you paint the stealer's purple skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Coool, can't believe I didn't see this one before. How did you paint the stealer's purple skin? Thanks for the comments. Desmodus: The skin was painted levithon Purple and washed with citadel purple ink. I then used various mixes of purple and white blended on the areas to highlight. I then used a few washes of really watered down purple ink which tied all the colours together. Anyway heres this weekends update. This ones about done. The eyes, lenses, final highlights and plaques need finishing but Im waiting for a micron pen to come that Ive ordered before I complete it. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Picture007-1.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Picture006-2.jpg While Im waiting for the pen Im starting this one http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Picture008.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi Guys Thanks for the kind comments. To be honest I havent picked up a brush for two weeks as Ive had a ton of work to do. But as Im 2 termies and a dread short of my vow Im going to have a go at doing two termies before the end of next week. Grimmz... these things are absolutely covered in BA symbols. Some are easy to remove but some you need to be creative and replace them with other items. If you can get your hands on some of these minis compare them to mine and you will see what Ive done. Some of the pads are easy to mod by removing the droplet and adding a skull. Some are harder so I chopped these off and replaced them with forgeworld resin ultra pads. I promise an update this weekend. Has anyone else done a SH termi with cyclone :) Its looking good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Vulkus Dorn Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well my question is this, how did you fix the shoulders for your FW pads? I'm currently working on mine and turning them into SWs, (Already got a good bit done on the libby to rune priest conversion) I've got a ton of the new SW termie shoulders and I want to use them on these models so any info you can give would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well my question is this, how did you fix the shoulders for your FW pads? I'm currently working on mine and turning them into SWs, (Already got a good bit done on the libby to rune priest conversion) I've got a ton of the new SW termie shoulders and I want to use them on these models so any info you can give would be greatly appreciated Its pretty simple to be honest. If its the weapon arm and your not fussed about keeping the SH arm Id swap it for one off a bitz site. You can also use the ones with SW icons on the bolters then. If you want to use the SH weapons or like me wanted to swap the crux pads then you need a pair of small clippers like the GW ones and basically chop the old pad front away. The trick is to cut squarly at the front and back then side and top. Be careful not to damage the armour that pokes out under the pad near the body as this will show through when you replace the pad. This leaves you with a square above the arm joint. All you need to do is to keep taking the corners off and keep test fitting your pad until you are happy with how it sits. I used superglue to stick the resin pads on and there was only one I had to back fill with Green Stuff. I hope that helps but if you need pics please let me know as Im about to fit a crux pad.

UltraRich Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 these are awesome , such crisp clean painting , May i ask whats your recipe for the blue , it looks a little darker than normal and i like it a lot , keep these comin!! Thanks Barry Im still painting in the old school colours so its undercoat with black spray, pick out the panels in untramarine blue, wash with 2 or 3 coats of azurman blue mixed 50/50 with water, Start to pick out the larger flat areas in ultramarine blue, I then do about 4 wet blend highlights of ultramarine blue adding more white towards the edge of the pad. Ive still got the edge highlights to do but Im going to do all of the termies at once so they are all consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Having only just seen this topic I would like to commend you on your painting and converting skills. :) Very crisp painting and I can't wait to see the finished squad. PS. Thank you for the gold recipe, I am a collector of those. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 I received a couple of bits Ive been waiting for today including a piece of nid armour. Does this say "is it dead yet" or does it just look daft? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Picture001-5.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Picture002-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I think it looks kind of like he's about to chuck the nid chunk down the corridor. And fab job on these models! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 looks like he has just performed a complecated wrestling move with his power fist and is letting go of the pulped body... i love it! great paint job by the way, another fantastic episode of pimp my space hulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac4155 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Love it! Your work is great on the models. you have taken great models and made them even greater with the simple conversions and nice paint jobs. keep up the good work. Mind if i borrow the lighting claw conversion? AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Vulkus Dorn Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Well, I posted here earlier about how you did the shoulders. I was wondering if you had a tute to show the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI Joker Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 These look really great. I think the guy holding the part of 'nid armor looks good. That mini is hard to adapt to anything not Hulk and you did it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thanks guys, I think this one is going to be the 5th Termi of my vow. @Lord Commander Vulkus Dorn: I'm going to swap the crux pad on this one so I'll take a wip pic as I go. @ac4155: Go for it with the lightening claw conversion. Ive actually seen another one (DW I think) that is really similar and I think he did it first (but I only saw it after Id done mine :D) I'll get this one started tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Wow those finished marines are gorgeous. I love what you did with them. And the 'dead yet' marine does look like hes about to chuck the carapace somewhere, like someone mentioned. The squad looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Fantastic work. The Termies look great but the 'nid parts and gore make the models exceptional... And if the GW store says you can't use them, I brand them Heretics! =][= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
