armored walker Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi! Finished painting a squad of termies for my chapter, "The Silvered Helms". All front and back All sides and up Sarge Some closer Assault cannon I tried to make them a little bit bigger with plasticard and GS, so they're maybe 2 mm taller and 1 mm wider at the shoulders. Here's a comparation pic with a regular marine and a scout ( slightly PIP, but you get the picture ): comparazon pic When I started the chapter I decided to paint all weapon casings the same red as the shoulderpads, but now I'm having second thoughts as the red powerfists give the termies a sorta "faded Iron Fist"- look...maybe I'll do the fists over in black...

Master of Sanctity Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Nicely done. I freakin' hate that sergeant's banner (not you're paint job or anything, you managed it quite well. I actually hate it way it's sculpted; I'm painting it right now myself and it's driving me nuts!) Nice Chapter emblem too.

Castle Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Looks really solid my man. They look a little bit like Ultras to me, but the red makes them look like really awesome Ultras. I think helmets that match the arms would tie them up nicely, they grey just dosn't fit. The red looks really well done.

StratoKhan Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 The sergeant's power sword looks really good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89331-loyalist-terminators/#findComment-1027434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother apocalyptic Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 they look sweet, but I cant say Im to fond of the silver helmets, they look way to plain. try to add a black wash, and then highlight with mithril silver again!

chaptermaster13 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Have to agree with brother apocalyptic, helmets look to plain and don't really fit with the rest of the model. other than that, great paint job with good red and might i ask where the transfer for the chapter badge comes from.

Hemal Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 You need more contrasting highlights on the helmets - go from almost pure black mixed with a little chainmail up to mithril silver mixed with white - that's how I paint my High Elf Silver Helms...

Harvest Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I don't think it's a transfer, though I may be wrong of course. As for the minis, I have to agree with the others. I DOn't think that the Silver helmets match the rest of the mini. You did a nice piant job thouhg, both on the minis, and their banner. I like the sarge :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89331-loyalist-terminators/#findComment-1027532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindictus Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Love the chapter badge.... Very nice and clean. Some Ultramarines Vets with removal of the "U"s might look nice in this army.

hack_n_slash Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Nice! But consider heavier inking and highlights on the helmets, they don't really show up very well.

armored walker Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 The chapter badge, as some have guessed, is not a transfer but freehand. As for the helmets, I think I'll try the way Hemal suggested next - the helmets really need more contrast.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I really like these. :drool: I agree that the silver is a bit flat, but otherwise great job! I see what your saying about the powerfists, but I'm not sure black would look right. What about painting them blue, but leave the fingers and chainfist blade red. Just a thought. p.s. Do you have pictures of the rest of your army? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89331-loyalist-terminators/#findComment-1027598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemal Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 BTW, the reds on those Termies are REALLY nice, I love that colour, and the grittiness of the effect, lialmost like milirtary figurines rather than sci-fi/fantasy...
