I finally glued together a whole host of termagants and finally based my hormagaunts today. While gluing the brain pack things onto the hormaguants I decided to experiment with two old first edition termagants. I spent about 2 minutes on each miniature, not including time spent using a hair dryer, or time spent basing. (yeah... the basing is pretty bad on these guys!) I don't exactly hate these old minis, but I can't put my finger on what I don't like about them. I do have about 50 of them, so if I were serious about playing the game it would be worth simple greening them and starting over. I think the old sculpts might detract from my aesthetic appreciation for the game.On a side note, anyone have a good color idea for the guns? I tried pink and was not thrilled, and am not digging orange that much. These are beginning to look like halloweennids to me.
Jeez, those old Gaunts are...ew... still, very well painted.
ReplyDeleteI like them less the more I look at them!
ReplyDeleteYou could go with bone-coloured guns.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried bone yet, but I have painted up some rust colored red guns, and some yellowish brown guns. So far the orange looks the best. I'll post up my other shots tomorrow.
ReplyDeletepersonally i like the orange
ReplyDeleteit ties them into the hormagaunts, who have orange adrenal glands
I think I might just go with the orange on one of the gun types. You guys are right, it does tie in well.
