Great timing on the post too, as I've been dithing on what to do for my heavy slots and just HAPPEN to have 6 terminators that I more or less mothballed after the first squad I painted performed so "Meh"-ly. I would have never guessed you could make them look this good! I mean, really, they look as good as the real thing! And they're cheap!
Yeah - I paid $28.00 w/ shipping on ebay for 5
AoBR teminators and a handful of
IG weapons.

Primed - Chaos Black
1.) Tallaran Flesh
2.) Wash with Scab Red
3.) Highlight bleched Bone
Originally I had added a Skull White to this, but it came out too bright. I rewashed it and just highlighted it with Bleached Bone once more. That's what you see. It's a simple paint scheme that definately gives the model table-top readiness. (
IMO)

As with most things I find myself attempting this hobby, it isn't as hard as it seems once you actually try it. I suggest patience, though. You'll notice that while you're working on one arm, the other is being fondled by a stray thumb and you have to redo the puddy work.
Also - I would say not to glue the mdoel to a base until the greenstuffing is complete. I actually put so much pressure on one that he came off the base. Let plastic glue dry overnight before throwing puddy on it and putting a ton of pressure onto it. Others may have better advice for this.
I found that the flesh turned out best by putting deeper grooves in the greenstuff and then adding light slices around wherever I could. Once all the lines were added, I complimented the flesh with random "pricks" - I punched small holes in it with my tools.

One of these (the one with the Slannesh head that has the horn growing out of it) actually had a normal termie head, but I cut it out and added my own. You have to be careful with this, as a mistaken clip or cut can destroy the back piece that surrounds the head. My next one is actually wearing a helmet and has a twisted, daemon-like appearance. I will post it soon.
) and a bunch of weapons to create these guys. They were a butt-load of fun and I have 1 more that has bits glued to him and still needs greenstuff and two more that are still on the sprue. All in all I got 5 obliterators for $70.00 less than if I had purchased them retail.
