Space Marine Terminators

In my progress of slowly working my way through the "Assault on Black Reach" miniatures the turn has finally come to my Space Marines Terminators which I honestly think is some of the coolest miniatures I've yet to paint... Even though I started back in December, most of the painting has been done over the last 3 weeks.

Similar to my SM Tactical Squad I started painting the inside elements first, so again flex-joints and helmet lenses:

Following this is a simple step of painting all armour-elements in the blue base-colour (Macragge Blue in this case):

Turning to the white elements (helm and sigils) I've once again been following the great advice of Ron Ronsaikowski (FromTheWarp) and slowly building up the colour by successive layers of grey (Dawnstone followed by Administratum Grey and finally Skull White). The elements where then washed with a thinned Badab Black and drybrushed with Skull White to give them a more worn look:



From then on it was simply a matter of finishing all the remaining elements (gun, purity seals etc), done exactly like my previous Space Marines, and repeat for the remaining 4 miniatures:




The sergeant required a bit of extra work, specially his face and the power-sword, both which turned out really great imo :D I also managed to free-hand the Ultramarine symbol and Crux Terminatus on all 5 miniatures...

Next on the table is more Space Marines (yay!), including a Chaplain, Librarian, Biker and 5 Assault Terminators with interchangeable magnetized weapons...

Reaver Titan WIP 2

I've clearly been a bad boy and have been neglecting my blogging updates the last few months... Truth be told I haven't been working much on my miniatures either...

That being said I do however have an update regarding my soon-to-be-finished Terminators ready soon and during the last 2 months I've also found time to work a bit more on some parts of my Titan Reaver, hence this post :D



Having finished the feet and slowly working on the legs I decided to take a detour and try my skill against a mighty PowerFist which is one of the many weapon-options for the Reaver... Below is big pile of WIP-pictures along with the final fist plus weapons-mount. Total worktime is probably close to 40 hours, so enjoy!:D
