^yes, they are a bit extreme, but they don't look bad!
Excellent miniature!

**Gitsplitta**

Agree with graven, silver highlights of gold are looking mighty fine.

**&theyshallknownofear**

after about pg 34 i skipped to pg 75.
this is almost a plea rather than a sugesstion as i am too nooby to do so.
you apparently have a chronus techmarine to repaint.
i would love to see one with a jump pack if you have a spare.
and possibly drill a hole in the pack and attach it to a flying base.

@Nash - Course, Only 14 more terminators, 5 PAGK's marines, 5 Purifiers, a dreadnaught, a dreaknight, Crowe, an GM and Hector rex left to go.

@Graven - Whats also pretty nice, at a 2ft distance it looks like the gold is shining

@M.K - Thank you

@Gits - Thanks

@ATSKNF - The only Chronus I have left to paint is the tank commander version I completed the standing trooper version already (see below)

Spoiler:

Update: base colors done

**Matt.Kingsley**

So about 15-16 weeks all being good? (until Fellblade

)

Termi is looking nice, Knightley!

**Nashbashem**

Well at least its in the line somewhere

I'll look for ward to the dreadknight for now

Great work as ever

**Knightley**

@M.K - Course, all dependent on painting enthusiasm!

@Nash - Thanks

Update: First stage grey done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Somehow I missed this update.

Termi s looking great!

**Knightley**

I may have posted to quickly after you last logged in?

Anyway, grey has a second coat now

**Nashbashem**

Very nice. Not long and he'll be done

And my stupidity has caused me too only now realise that its a OOP GK

**Knightley**

Hahah yep, there will be one more OOP based model from the terminator collection, but you'll have to wait and see him as well.

Update: Grey Highlights done

**Nashbashem**

Your rey is alaways amazing. How have you not succumed to madness yet?

**IceAngel**

Still looking great Knightley. Keep it up!

**Knightley**

@Nash - Who's to say I'm not already totally mad??

@Ice - Thanks mate, looking forward to your next Story update

Update: Reds and Metals done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Very nice!

**Knightley**

Thanks Man

Update: model done

Front

Back

**Gitsplitta**

You know Knightley... your consistency of excellence is just truly inspiring. That means it's time for you to start experimenting with some new techniques. You could play around with some OSL for example... or perhaps some NMM (or TMM) techniques. I think you're more than ready.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Excellent as always!

Also, you miniature should be on its (hopefully safe) way soon. We've had bad weather here, incuding floods and even tornadoes up north...

**&theyshallknownofear**

Loving the terminator.how did you do that blade?i need one for my force weapon

**Matt.Kingsley**

scroll down the page, &theyshallknownofear

**Nashbashem**

Very nice Knightley

I agree with Gits I think you should dip your toe into these other techniques. I'm sure you'll pull them off well

**Knightley**

@Gits - Agreed, I think I may see what models I have after this push and throw in a random model with different techniques to break up the see of grey. I did enjoy doing the Mentor Captain for Graven with the OSL and weathering on him

Spoiler:

@M.K - Yeah you guys are getting hammered over there, hope everything is safe for you and your family.

@ATSKNF - Thanks, Matt's link to the page shows the step by step for how I do them

@Nash - I'm definitely consider it

Update: New Terminator started

**Gitsplitta**

Yeah... do some more of those. It's clear you've mastered your current set of techniques. Time to expand your horizons a bit.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Yep, we're all still safe and sound

Termi is currently looking good, can't wait to see it done!

**inmygravenimage**

I'm with gits. Owning that model (

), and the GK grand master you did for me (

) I would really like to see the culmination of your skills. Bigger, better, faster (or at least paint-i-er), more!

**Norn King**

Amazing, as usual, any chance to get an entire group shot of everything you have (re)painted so far?

**Knightley**

@Gits - Agreed, though I still have to get through another 5000 points of GK/SM on top of that. Thoughts as to what model/army/game should be up next?

@M.K - Sweet that's good to hear

@Graven - like a monstrous creature perhaps? an eldar skimmer/wraithlord?

@Norn - Absolutely I plan on doing a GK army shot then SM Army shot then a combined army shot, just want to get through this push

Update: First stage grey done

And in other news. My long time girlfriend is pregnant, so in about 6-7 months I'll be a dad, really stoked about that.

**Gitsplitta**

Congrats Knightley! (Better paint while you can)

**inmygravenimage**

Huzzah! And as every guy in that position knows, it's that moment when you go, "It works! It actually works!"
Also, grats. And yeah, go eldar, man. Buy in before they become the 6th über-

**Gitsplitta**

Actually, I didn't mean to suggest changing armies, just expanding your tool selection ( so to speak)
