Thank you for the kind words :cry:. Yeah the cape looks wonky and I really appreciate you doing the little sketch to help me see what I need to reshape. It's a little tricky because this greenstufd/milliput has a tendency to peel apart when I slice it if I'm not careful. 

You're welcome and I do mean what I wrote ;)

 

Regarding processing these putties, yeah - that's what they do (from my experience). Try a metal file or sanding paper for removing excess material. These tools sometimes gives way more control than a hobby knife.

Got sidetracked and painted my Seraphim from the combat patrol. Two sets of twins and a squad leader in terms of sculpts. I definitely might get the regular box of them later. 

 

Tried for metallic blue wings. 

I did wind up adding more detail like scrolls and pupils for their eyes lol

Started working on my last model from the Sororitas combat patrol... The rhino. It's been a while since I painted anything bigger than a dreadnought. 

So far blocked out some colors and did some small details.

I think it looks fine. The blue is really, really cool. However, if you still feel like it's missing something and don't want to do any weathering, you can go with purity seals, as Firedrake suggested, or with some free hand litanies or decals.

I concur, they are definitely interesting. A nice, tacticool, generic Sci-Fi take on the Sisters of Battle, not overly sexualised. For some strange reason, I'm struggling to see/understand  how big they are. They seem way larger than GW kits; however, that's probably just the lack of a point of reference. Or the fact that they appear to have more realistic, human proportions. Either way, a good find.

I have built a squad of the new terminators... And it's no contest they're way nicer than the old plastic ones... Which I have a huge soft spot for. 

I spent hours magnetizing the backs of each power fist to swap for a chain fist or regular arm. The left arm and head of the Sergeant. Heads of two others then one magnetized to have the cyclone missile launcher removable. Finally a guy with the option for flamer, gatling or storm bolter.

Things like this aren't helping me keep to my vow that I have enough Space Marines and that no matter how nice the new Terminator kit is, I'm not buying one because I already have 10 of the old ones :blush: :laugh:

They're pretty similar in size... I think actually some proportion are more generous. 

 

What I meant was the overall silhouette. However, now I see that they are indeed more generous ;)

 

Congrats on getting the Termies magnetised. This is the least favourite part of the hobby for me and I probably overvalue the effort put into this but I imagine it must've been tedious. I suppose though that future-proofing your minis is worth it. Oh, and the nice click when a magnetised part jumps perfectly into place is awesome.

If it's any help, I have a similar resolution. The old ones, just with any other old kit, are good enough. Just don't place them side by side with anything new - only then the years really show.
 

Also a bonus no one asked for. 

I am making a librarian shoulder pad for my primaris librarian. I just two different skulls from the skulls set. It's going to need cleanup but it has that horned skull look they tend to have. 

 

And yeah... I have maybe 20+ old terminators. I up sized some but it's not really worth the effort to me because they still look lanky. I might paint them in other Dorn successor chapters or something.
