Azazal Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 So to continue my unhealthy obsession with terminator armor, I'm going back in time, in more then one way. II was going through my old 40k books, and came across a little fluff piece on terminators that made me flash on cataphractii termies. I wanted to do a HH era army, but wasn't sure what legion. The story pushed me in the right direction. I got into 40k via the original Space Hulk, so it only makes sense that my Crusade army goes back to my roots. As for the story that started it off, the names of my termies is the first hint, more to come as the paint flows.

Captain Semper Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Very promising start! Truth is we're not getting many HH Blood Angels as yet, so I'm double interested in your take on them! Look forward for the painting phase - topic followed! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286599-blood-angel-cataphractii-terminators/#findComment-3589493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I too, have a (un)healthy appreciation for terminators. I'm really looking forward to seeing these guys develop. Question for you: I am fairly ignorant on the FW terminator weapon options, but are those all (plasma, combi, etc.) FW weapons, or did you scratch build some of them. Very impressive either way. Note: Sometimes I wonder if there should be a separate forum (Terminators Anonymous) for people like us...

Look forward for the painting phase - topic followed! Cool, yeh I agree captian semper. It's about time the Blood Angels got some HH love! I hope I do not disappoint. I'm looking to do them in BA red, of course, with gun metal trim. Bronze or gold will look to Khorneate to me. I too, have a (un)healthy appreciation for terminators.

Note: Sometimes I wonder if there should be a separate forum (Terminators Anonymous) for people like us... "Hello there, my n-name is Honda and...and, I l-like...uh <swallows> t-terminators" Termies all the way. The weapons are all from the FW Cataphracii set. The only cheat I'm doing is using the plasma blaster on Sgt Kinner as a Volkite Charger, since one is not included in the set. Also, you can only take 1 heavy per 5 termies, and that slot was taken by the reaper. So without further adieu, base coat down. Now to look for where the spray could't reach and touch those spots up with a brush. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1008_zps46c043ae.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1012_zps1f7d7853.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1011_zpsfb3e0f47.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1009_zps4b8a7d43.jpg Good old BA red, looking.... wait, LEVI?

Captain Semper Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hmm... looks a bit shiny there - is it the flash from the camera? If so you may want to use diffused light - or daytime light... I see your point on gold - may look too Khorne-like. That's the thing though... You get red as the main color for the 9th Legion (BAs), the 15th Legion (1k Sons) and the 17th Legion (Word Bearers - Serrated Sun or all of them for that matter). So it really goes down to shades and then photography. :lol: I look forward to see how your red works. I'm very excited with this project! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286599-blood-angel-cataphractii-terminators/#findComment-3590899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazal Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Being that odd man out, Levi is being used to test how the trim will come out. Base coat of black on everything that will be grey or gunmetal in the end. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1041_zps54a4c565.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1042_zps2076a478.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1043_zpse1d57811.jpg The chainmail over the black, the hoses and palms are a slate grey. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1044_zps3a5bd843.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1045_zps7684e14d.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1046_zpsc14b8695.jpg Now to let the chainmail dry overnight, then to apply some wash. Actually after looking at the pics on preview, I've added a touch more chainmail. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1047_zpsf27a6152.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286599-blood-angel-cataphractii-terminators/#findComment-3593975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Coming along nicely, although I still think the BA red is too bright for my personal tastes - but I am sure that will blend in great once you have added all the other colours Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286599-blood-angel-cataphractii-terminators/#findComment-3594515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazal Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Minor update, got the black plus a touch of brown down for Kinner and Gorrias. Black areas with get a follow up chainmail coat, brown with get a bronze/gold layer on them. Not sure how I'll do Kinner's sword though. Might go with classic silver, or maybe a heat tarnished look instead. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1048_zps6b93f11e.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1050_zpsca4953fd.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286599-blood-angel-cataphractii-terminators/#findComment-3597408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazal Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've been busy with real life, but was able to get some more paint down. They're looking pretty Word Bearerish to me. Need to start some washing and sahding to bring down the chainmail to a nice grey gunmetal. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1093_zpsd39fdf6b.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1091_zps9d97585b.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1089_zps2197990c.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1082_zps32df5e5c.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1084_zps49dcd9c0.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1087_zps9fb8ead5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1078_zpsf139973b.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/azazal/Grand%20Crusade/IMG_1076_zpsa68cbcd9.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286599-blood-angel-cataphractii-terminators/#findComment-3620291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
