Tyrannicide Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The Thousand Sons colors should be nominated for "best in class", you've certainly done them justice. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 For the bases, how about paving stones and sand together in places? I reckon some shards of broken glass would be pretty epic aswell (Blank CD protectors). Great models man, looking forward to more of the same standerd soon (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks for the positive comments guys :D I actually made the base for terminator 1 last night. It is a mix of paving stones and desert like terrain, a nice combination of the ideas that were suggested. I think its looking quite good so far. So thank every body! Hopefully i can get it painted today and have some pictures up later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the damned artificer Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I love your termie, it looks exactly how I imagined them from "A thousand sons". This is surely in the grade A of pre-heresy projects, well done. I'll be following your progress with joy :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Really nice painting. You have a steady hand. I wasn't sold on the orangey colour on the test mini but later it seems to have darkened on the termi and looks much better. Might have also been the lighting in the photo. Keep it up!

Kizzdougs Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 @Gop: Thanks mate. The new pics i've uploaded show the colour a little better. I hope you like it @the damned artificer: I'm glad you're liking the project so far. Hopefully you continue to As promised i've painted up the base for Terminator 1. I used green stuff or the paving (you can see fingerprints on some of the stones :confused: ). http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0319-1.jpg?t=1314686291 The finished product.

Brother Caedrius Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) That Termie on base is looking absolutely bad- :) ! Don't mind the fignerprints, i thought it looked like part of the natural formation of the stone slabs :) Paint job is superb. My only comment that could be even considered remotely critical is: Not too keen on some of the leftover Grey Knights wirting embelishing the armour and the only bit I've seen that made me do a minor 'hmmm' is TITAN on one of the legs, as I say only a minor point and more something to consider for other mini's So I'll be tracking this to keep up with the super work :P Edited August 31, 2011 by Brother Caedrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I honestly didn't spot them as fingerprints, I thought it was striated rock. Don't beat yourself up over it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasman Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The force weapon. The blue detailing took a little patience. I can imagine that. Great stuff, the gems are topnotch as well. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_giles Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I honestly didn't spot them as fingerprints, I thought it was striated rock. Don't beat yourself up over it. :rolleyes: Agreed, I looked for fingerprints and saw natural rock. Looks great from here. Did I ever mention how nice it is to see an army where everybody has a textured base instead of just the usual flat base with turf flock, and then somehow an unexplained stone under the chaos lord or dreadnought?

Kizzdougs Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm glad you all like the base :) So i've just finished assembling my third Scarab Occult terminator. He took a little longer to build because of the extra detail. I think he will most likely act as the squads leader. Any comments or ideas for improvement are more than welcome. Hopefully i'll get some more painting done soon... http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN0337.jpg?t=1314962884 Thanks for looking ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torvak Kyre Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Honestly this is the best Thousand Sons army I have ever seen. Maybe even the best Pre Heresy army I have seen. And I'm a space wolf player! Great Work. Edit: how did you do the Chest plates on the terminators. Edited September 2, 2011 by Fenris Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks Darth. yet another fantastic mini, really fits the champion look. is that saurons mace? Sure is :D I thought it looked suitably impressive and lethal... Fenris Kid Posted Yesterday, 10:23 PM Honestly this is the best Thousand Sons army I have ever seen. Maybe even the best Pre Heresy army I have seen. And I'm a space wolf player! Great Work. Edit: how did you do the Chest plates on the terminators. Thanks a lot mate. High praise indeed, especially from a son of Russ (don't worry i wont tell the other wolves ;) ). The chest plates are from the GK terminator kit. I've embellished them with green stuff, Tomb King bitz and gems from the high elf range. I hope this answers your question. Was there a particular chest plate you were wondering about?

I had a look at your thread the other day and really like what I saw. Keep up the great work and the Dread's head is looking Awesome. I'll be sure to keep following the thread ;) You should add a link to the thread in your signature. Ps. the gems are my favourite part of the mini to paint. I think its because i can't rush them like i end up doing for the rest of the mini... @Sir Tancrede: Thanks mate :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
