@Casey - Agreed, I think its the mithril silver as its very bright and pops when added to the gold

@Nash - I wouldn't say its quick at all, I would say it would normally be just short of a week to do one model, if I have more spare time I can get more done.

Update: Model done

It's not actually a beast of a conversion to take down the back height so it matches a regular gk termie, but tbh you pulled these off so well that it wouldn't be worth it anyway.

Interesting, I hadn't considered how that could be done. Have you seen any guides about how to do it?

I don't know about guides but I have done a couple. Saw across the back piece at the top of the two rows of vents, a d cut the front piece halfway round the circle created by the hole for the head. Then all you need is an aegis hood - DA termie shoulder-shields work well.

I'm sure I read a tutorial for it on Dakka but it was ages ago and I have no idea how I'd find it, it might even have been an article.

I'm not sure if there's enough skulls.
