I have a new mission in life.

Knightley, does this washcloth smell like chloroform to you?

**Knightley**

@Matt - Cheers

Beautiful. I love all the details on this guy - the helmet, the sword, the book, and of course, the squiggles.

But the face face is magnificent. Nice work.

**Gitsplitta**

Fantastic work Knightley... even more so than usual. Very inspiring presence.

**inmygravenimage**

Very cool indeed. Great (re)build, and snazzy as ever.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Fantastic work! I like how you wrote 'Faith' on the shield.

**Briancj**

Knightley's Kidney (I left him one) will pay for my skirmish gaming armies.

**lipsdapips**

Blimey...that's quite the transformation! Love the new Master, he's a badass!

**Nashbashem**

Brilliant work mate

Really good tranformation

whats on the agenda now?

**Knightley**

@Yellowbeard - Why thank you, I am quite proud of this ones face

@Gits - Cheers Gits

@Graven - Snazzy, perfect I should paint some neon colors onto him to give him pizazz as well

@Matt - Yeah I was wondering what to put on his shield that I could spell with out to much issues

@Briancj - Hahahha... why am I laughing at losing one of my precious body parts, I bet its the one that stops me from saying stupid stuff out loud.

@LDP - Thanks dude, how goes your Tau?

@Nash - Thank you, next up on the list is the last 5 terminators, then I'm down to 11 models left to paint this push.

Update: Last Terminator squad has been started

Term 1

Term 2

Term 3

Term 4

Term 5

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ooh some older termis! can't wait to see them complete!

**inmygravenimage**

Wow, a classic death wing librarian in there I spy

**whalemusic360**

Thank god the models don't look like that any more.

**Gitsplitta**

I like the old owlies. They're crude, but imaginative.

**Knightley**

@M.K - Yeah I know, this squad will look very interesting when done I think.

@Graven - Yep, that's the one you sent me about a year ago, apologies for the delay in getting around to painting it.

@WM360 - Agreed, there are no fine lines on the model, so edge highlighting is going to be a right pain.

@Gits - Crude, yes. Imaginative, at the time yes, not so much now.

Update: first coat on owlie

**Knightley**

Second coat grey

**Matt.Kingsley**

He's looking good!

Good luck highlighting all those curved details

**Casey's Law**

Someone's been busy! Great work as always Knightly.

Nice to see the characters seeing some love inbetween the average Joes.

**Nashbashem**

It will be nice to see the old mini among the new ones, a nice retro feel with a modern twist

Looking forward to the finished result

**inmygravenimage**

Looking good? Can you believe we're nearly at the end of this odyssey?!

**Knightley**

@Matt - Your luck offering wasn't enough....

@Casey - Yeah I wasn't in the mood to do another group of five and hector and crowe were giving me puppy eyes

@Nash - Yeah, interesting to note the older models lacked purity seals, I guess back in the day they used other methods to show how pure they were

@Graven - I know, but don't forget I still have that Whirlwind top part you sent me, i've been trying to come up with a way to mount it effectively on the newer Rhino hulls - Stay tuned

Update: Highlights done but urgh, my god, curved surfaces blow for doing edge highlights

**Briancj**

We're gonna need a new group shot soon.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Sorry the luck wasn't enough!

Still, it looks good!

**Nashbashem**

I'm sure it will still look great when it's done

**Knightley**

@Briancj - Absolutely once this push is done there will be the large group shot of every model, then the individual armies (GK and SM)

@Matt - Yeah I would have liked to have better lines on them but not much I can do about it now lol

@Nash - Not long to wait

Update: Reds and Metals

**Nashbashem**

See he's coming together nicely
