I finished my first deathwing terminator! I think I may go with a dark brown dried earth for my basing, since that would work well with the raven wing that go along with these guys. The red and the green look a bit christmassy to me, but so be it. I want these guys to be pure bone white angels of death. The fact that they have a bit of holiday spirit should not detract.While painting this guy I learned an invaluable lesson. Do not finish the armor first. I know it seems weird, but I made so many mistakes while painting the little bits on this guy that I ended up having to go back and cover up brush strokes that accidentally hit the blended armor.
So one is done. If I were to assembly line it I think I could have these done by Sunday, but I think I need to slow down and think about some heraldry for a few of the guys. Now that the whole native americas in space background is gone, I think I will focus on medieval heraldry for the guys with knee pads.
Looks good. I hadn't noticed the Christmas thing until you mentioned it tho. Perhaps some brighter highlights would detract from that.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of moving the red more towards orange and making the green a little bluer as another option. I have two more guys on the way that I made sure did not have green and red next to each other. I really don't like the dark angles green paint from GW. I love the color their team is able to produce with it, but in my hands it looks translucent.
