Happy New year!

@M.K - Cheers, I would personally just go for it and let the chip fall where they may

@Gits - Thanks Gits

@Graven - Nah I haven't changed the gold, I've just been highlighting with mithril silver to help it pop just that little bit more

@ RiTides - I'll do the primer and base coat/wash stage for each batch and then bring the grey up on each model as doing so much grey is a little mind numbing

Update: Terminator done

@M.K - Yeah man, the group shot of 5 should be cool

Update: grey is solid

Indeed, very nice, and good to know there was something different about your gold generally (not just my imagination!)

Well thats a fair call, I will need to find someway to get enough light and a camera which will be able to show all the models well enough. I'll think about this during the week.

Lovely as njal's is, I prefer ldp's as it showcases how you make a simple build look stunning. Great piece.
