Some old minis

These guys have been sitting in a figure case for years now, so I decided to get rid of them. fixed them up a bit first to improve them slightly without completely redoing them.

I painted this guy back when the model was first released. Originally my plan was to do the Imperial Fists 1st Company using Deathwing rules, I even bought several squads of Terminators to do it. Sadly that never happened, although the Terminators did find homes in my next few marine armies as well as several conversions. He was painted back before washes and foundation paints existed (the dark ages) so yellow was an even larger challenge. Luckily I found a easy and effective recipe for it online. That is in fact not yellow paint, but Bronzed Flesh shaded with Bestial Brown and highlighted up with Bleached Bone and Skull White. After I painted all the armor in this fashion I gave the whole thing a wash of Yellow Ink and viola! It saved a ton of time and looked great too. I'm even inclined to think it looks better then a lot of modern yellow recipes that make use of Iyanden Darksun.

Leading up to the release of the plastic Assault Terminators back when the Black Templar codex was coming out each staff member at our store was given enough parts to make on Termie. This must have also been around the same time that Dawn of War first came out because I decided to paint mine as a Blood Raven. This is one of the few models of mine that has a "scenic" base like this. I like the look, and its great for one off models, but when its done across a whole army it kind of makes me wonder why each guy is standing on top of a small pile of rubble/rocks/skulls/etc. Thats a very odd battlefield to have so many small piles of stuff strategically placed around it.

 

Comments and crit welcome.
