Kierdale Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nice work! I've only had one Finecast mini so far and bought it myself in the shop so was careful to pick the best of the blisters they had. Still had a little bit miscast but wasn't too bad. It is, as others have said, luck of the draw. That aside, what are you working on next?

daismith906 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yeah i think you need to inspect & chose your finecast mini's before purchasing them to minmise casting flaws etc Did a quick kit bash and finished painting a normal sgt yesterday (normally run 3 tactical squads & only had x2 normal sgts armed with a bolt pistol & chainsword) rest have either combi-weapons/power sword/powerfist etc. Am doing my best to put off painting these 10 tatical terminators i have made and primed on my paint station but am going to make a start today ;) ! On a side note pre-ordered my 6th ed rule book yesterday & looking forward to what changes it'll bring etc might need to invest in some new minis i dont own to make my army competative :D !

SickSix Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Excellent job on the terminators! Nice effect on the fists! I think maybe some stray lightning going back towards the rear of the fists would cap them off nicely.

daismith906 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Cheers thats a good idea to add a few lightning strikes to the fists Had some free time this aftennon so finished off Sicarius (remembered how much i hate painting flesh) http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/6070/010ikn.jpg http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7427/011gtr.jpg http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/6001/012xka.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252907-silver-skulls-army-blog/page/3/#findComment-3125633 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Some great painting skills on display with the Captain here.

Kierdale Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Love that captain! The OSL is nicely done, and I really like the detail on his right forearm and the connections to the sword.

Captain Semper Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 You have an amazing army there Dai - it's a pleasure to look at! The Captain in partuicular is jaw-dropping! Your termies also look scary as hell!!! :lol: Can't wait to see the new ones too... Well done sir!

daismith906 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Cheers i actually enjoyed painted this army due to the simple paint scheme (which ws less time consuming than others) plus when you add little detials they stand out far more than they would otherwise. Might add a drop pod or two in the next few months but my other armies are taking priority. Will be using these of the gaming table definately though Cheers Dai Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252907-silver-skulls-army-blog/page/3/#findComment-3133541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daismith906 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 So heres a quick pic of the 5 completed terminators http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2263/007brf.jpg The two missing the arms have magnetised chainfists or powerfists (but there currently dryingat the moment after being gloss varnished) Cheers Dai Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252907-silver-skulls-army-blog/page/3/#findComment-3133855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daismith906 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Long time no update Have hardly used this army since my last update as I've been working on historical projects & other bits & bobs But since GW made the stormraven a codex space marine option it peaked my interest to add some more additions to the silver skulls and start using it once again!! So on my table to make & paint at the moment is A stormraven X2 plasma canon marines X2 lightening claw terminators And a parts for a tyberos the red wake conversion Question for the community? Looking to make a land raider variant too, which would work best on the table apart form the standard god hammer, crusader etc?? Will post a update in next few days Cheers Dai Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252907-silver-skulls-army-blog/page/3/#findComment-3319021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well that brings back some memories... :) Good to see you back daismith, your work is phenomenal and I look fwd for your new stuff. Regarding the Land Raider, would you consider a FW version? The Achilles looks pretty awesome as does the (armoured) Proteus. But if you're willing to go the extra step, how about the Spartan? That'll be awesome! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252907-silver-skulls-army-blog/page/3/#findComment-3319094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
