Hey Grey, awesome work, but I have one quick question... On page 8, how did you get the color on the desert support unit? Not the finished one, but the one that is tan with brown trim(First picture on page eight, the one on the right). I've been searching for a color like that for a while to use for my own legion of desert marines.

OMG..............No more Brain for Charlies. Awesome skill displayed

Formae, try clicking the images and looking at the gallery description, I'm pretty sure the desert guys have the colors in there at the stage they were. Or check out this post on TPC that has all of the colors used for them

medabee, Thanks for the compliment

The kitchen is a war zone me Vs. the builders (New floor)

Thank you very much, Grey.

GD, I just got my terminator legs back today, and they look cool with some Necron bits on them.

GD, masterfully painted termies. You continue to inspire. Have you gamed them yet? Since a new coat, my SoMs haven't lost a bout! I think the green blinds opponents.

Just read through the whole blog briefly - it is looking damn good, you know! I really like the bright green you are using...

...On a side note, I keep reading Chapter Badgers when it should be Chapter Badges.

SOme good looking models in here for sure!

It's interesting to see different peoples methods of painting while reaching a high level of quality!

I learn something new every day!

Hey all, Sorry I didn't get back to replying right away! Things stepped up for classes a little and I haven't had a ton of time to the hobby side!

Dee, I'll likely do some scratch bionic work for any termie bionics. I'm not certain that they'll see it right now, but I do have a squad still in modeling phase that could be the benefactors of my want for serious bionics.

Cypher, thanks, as for gaming with the army, they are actually very solid in game. I win a good amount with them, I'm dying to try out the termies though!

Saintspirit, thanks for reading The army has come a long way from that first AoBR model slathered with scorpion green!

logg_frogg, thanks, there are a ton of ways to get to a result, finding the ones that are quick and effective is the biggest trick.

++++++++++++++

Some work done on the termies:



Posted on TPC as well

Bunches to do still but they're coming along nicely! Can't get too bogged down with any one thing when doing a squad, so I try to keep them moving around a lot when I paint them. Terminators have a ton of surface area to paint, I felt like I was spending as much time as I do painting a vehicle on these guys.

Got a bunch of bionic bits too for a new tactical squad I'm dying to get to modeling the new squad!! Stay tuned for more!

Here is one of mine.....

bionics for a whole squad? That must get pricey or am i missing out on some website deals here....
The termies look good btw.

If your on facebook look up Bryan Steele. All 5 have bionics.

There is a link to his website in my Night Lords Blog.

I was able to get a good set of bionics from a trade with Monster Rain. Plus there is always the boxed set from GW for the Iron Hands squad in the collectors section I'm still not against picking that up just for the abundance of bionic bits!

Have a look @ bits and kits they split up the IH box.

Very nice termies, especially as they where "beyond repair". Loving the rest of the army as well. Keep up the good work

Young_Logan, Thanks I'm really quite excited I was able to save them considering how awful off they were. I won't be writing off any messed up models in the future!

++++++++++

Boom.



I'm really happy with how they came out and how 'fast' I was able to get them done considering the added detail work.

Write up goes live on TPC at 0800 eastern, will link it here when it's up!

Lemme know what you think!

Really impressive stuff bud, I really feel that your work has reached a new level lately. That scheme and color are tough to do, to pull it off as well as you have is top quality work!

Shield in particular are brilliant... Great stuff!

Looks fantastic! Just a little disappointed you didn't use any of the Medusa-esque designs you were considering!

Been watching these on your Painting Corps Blog. Impressive stuff, and those shields are great!

That is some beautiful detail work on the shields. WOW.

Beautiful stuff g_d. Your work inspires me today the same as it did the first day I logged on to dakka.

MajorTom11, I'm sure it has to do with all of the classes I've been taking , the stuff I learn there is likely seeping slowly into my hobby stuff!

joshoftheforest, I did try to get a medusa head going but it just didn't fit the color scheme I had going and the design I used didn't work out the way I hoped. Instead I went with the hand symbol from third edition for that shield. The snake was done because it fits the medusa theme though and is a little more subtle which I like a lot!

darkkt, thanks! I would update all of the project logs with the same info, but it does take a lot of time, so TPC catches a few more WIP's from time to time. Thanks for reading

medabee, thanks! I'm pretty happy with them!

Gitsplitta, Thanks bud. I'm just glad people have taken something from me posting so much about the army, makes me want to keep at them and hopefully inspire yet another great army like your own

++++++++++++++++

Also, the write up went live on TPC for the Termies this morning!

Oh, the shame, that I have not read this blog in so very long. On the plus side, I've just gone all the way through it, and may I just say sir - outstanding.

The Terminators are looking great I think I'm going to try some of your weathering tech on my next squad that I paint up.

Really, really nice freehand on those Black Lotus Tribe shields! Too bad the manufacturer probably can't use your pics on their site for advertising, because you're definitely shown that product in the best possible light.

And to think that these are salvage minis... wow.

inmygravenimage, It's hard to keep up 100% with the PLog's on Dakka sometimes! There are so many great projects out there right now on Dakka and I love how much more developed this section has become over the last few years . Thanks for the compliment on the project!

GiraffeX, Thanks! Start slow with your weathering and get a handle on how the marks go onto the model before jumping into a full squad weathering project! You can't hit the 'undo' if you mash the sponge or brush into details that you didn't want to muck up!

Savnock, Thanks for that. I just sent the maxmini guys a PM here on Dakka with a link to the termies to show them off and thank them for a great product I don't think there are any rules against sharing what people have used your products for, it's the act of marketing them 'improperly' that people seem to go after. And yeah, salvaged from the brink to become a big chunk of my army I love it!

I really like the shields on those guys. Very nice paint job also.

Those are outstandingly painted shields! I know I say it every time, but that's some great work. You seriously manage to surprise me with every image.

Brilliant. I think the snake is best. And they look much better than previously. Improvement is the best thing to get out of them. Yeh, I can philosifyse with the best of them (see dodgeball)
