Kizzdougs Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I've just assembled the next unit of Terminators. I was originally planing to have three units with identical load outs (the three heads of the Hydra etc.), but I didn't want to build any more combi-plasmas and I've always liked the look of Lightning Claws so I decided to mix it up a bit. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5375_zps2gzru8pq.jpg As the premier crowd control specialists in the army I thought it would be appropriate to give the Lightning Claw warriors plenty of battle damage. Hopefully it'll look good once they're painted up. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5376_zps0pd5tjov.jpg The Leviathan has been ordered... Thanks for looking ;) GrandMagnus, Raztalin, hushrong and 11 others 14 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'm part way through applying the decals. Hopefully I'll be able to get the squad finished tomorrow :) http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5377_zpshzbeffx6.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5378_zpsrr9brvtf.jpg Thanks for looking ;) hushrong, Brother Chaplain Ryld, m0nolith and 20 others 23 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Really nice. Wasn't really a fan of Tartaros, but you are making them look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Amazing terminators.Don't forget the grenade launcher on the sergent so that they can hit at initiative against enemies in cover though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Those termies are looking super tasty. I bet they'd look even better on the battlefield! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobrakei Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Oh Kizz, why must you produce such stunning armies I can never hope to replicate? Loving the Alpha Termies. I always struggled to envision them in Terminator armour, but the Tartaros pattern suits them so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) The third unit of Terminators is finished! In the end it was a nice change to work on some lightning claws, plus I rate them pretty highly on the coolness scale. We are Legion http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5388_zpsdub5dhtv.jpg Alpha Squad: The Serpent's Fangs http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5379_zpsdebcg6jk.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5380_zpslv02q4xv.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5381_zpss2aung6o.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5382_zpswqlwphp1.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5383_zpsamo2h89a.jpg [/url] http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5384_zpsai0wkk0l.jpg The force so far http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5386_zpsxciaz130.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5387_zpsyv0uidcn.jpg Really nice. Wasn't really a fan of Tartaros, but you are making them look great. Yeah, the Tartaros can look a bit too plain and sleek sometimes. That's why I try to add plenty of battle damage and decals for some additional detail. Glad you like them Amazing terminators.Don't forget the grenade launcher on the sergent so that they can hit at initiative against enemies in cover though. Yeah, unfortunately I couldn't afford the grenades without losing some other kit. The force is designed for Zone Mortalis so hopefully I won't have to assault too many units in cover... Those termies are looking super tasty. I bet they'd look even better on the battlefield! Thanks a lot bro! Glad you like them. Oh Kizz, why must you produce such stunning armies I can never hope to replicate? Loving the Alpha Termies. I always struggled to envision them in Terminator armour, but the Tartaros pattern suits them so well. Thanks a lot! The XXth Legion loves to use Terminator armour (at least in the novels and FW background) and Tartaros fits their aesthetic nicely.

One-eye Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 This is really an incredible army. The 3 squads of Tartaros are coherent, brutal and extremely well painted. Awesome !! Kizzdougs 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 The Alpha and the Omega - the Dark Angels and the Alpha Legion - truly have the best-looking terminators of all time. Have fun with Zone Mortalis! And by the way, you have posted the same picture of the fourth terminator twice. Kizzdougs 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StruManChu Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Kizz, these guys look flipping amazing. I wish I could paint to your standard. Quick one - Are the bases for your Alpha's your own, or are they resin ones? If they're yours, is there any chance of a tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've just painted up a test mini for some Alpha Legion Seekers/Effrit legionaries. It doesn't show up very well in the pictures but the 'black' is actually a metallic black to keep them in line with the Terminators. Let me know what you think :) http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5432_zpsdd58uffs.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5426_zpsna3e3hdm.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5428_zpsw8pxexrs.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5429_zpsj567l7vm.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5430_zpsac72dqj4.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN5431_zpsyct1mzok.jpg They're really, really good Kizzdougs. Absolutely love them. Thanks a lot! Glad you like them :) Wow really impressed at how good the Alphas look. And an all terminator force. Your like doing what I always wanted but was never focused enough to do! Yeah, I had wanted to make a Alpha Legion Terminator army for a while. I just had to wait for the plastic Tartaros to be released. Kizz, these guys look flipping amazing. I wish I could paint to your standard. Quick one - Are the bases for your Alpha's your own, or are they resin ones? If they're yours, is there any chance of a tutorial? Thanks a lot bro! I make the bases my self. I've taken some pics of the latest base I made (for the Seeker), so I'll put up a tutorial in the next couple of days. This is a lovely thread - I used your Tartaros termies as photo reference when converting the combi-plasmas for my own, cheers! Thanks!

The Traitor Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hmm... Black is an interesting choice for alphas, though I think it would have looked better if both symbols and lights were the same colour. Also, may I ask how you did the metallic black? My actual army is being painted with metallic black and I´m curious to see which other methods are being used for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The seeker looks awesome. The tactical black and traditional coloring makes it a very cool look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
