Or, 30 Terminators in 30 days (and yeah, I missed some mold lines on a few).
I kept my Hawk Lords paint scheme, but wanted to go WYSIWYG for a Deathing Army.
Baseline Terminator. Note the magnet drilled into then GSed into the back.

With Cyclone Launcher. I liked the look of the IG Sentinel missile pod much more than the usual Terminator CML.

Banner bearer. The bottom of the banner pole has a magnet GSed into the base.

Apothacaries. I made 1 of each flavor (baseline, LC, TH/SS).

Your white is really really thick.

You might want to add thin layers of white instead of one thick layer.
And also start from dheneb stone or astronomican grey. Depends if you want a warm or cool one.
In the end, a white that has been painted from either of those two (and still showing underneath) looks white-r then a pure white.
Its a tone (just like black) that is hard to do right.

And.. You may want to remove mold lines (yes I know you said it..) and use some washes.
But seriously keep it up, because I want to see nice looking purple marines.

Those are some very purple termies.

I especially like the sentinel missile pod as a cyclone launcher. I firmly believe no 2 sets of tactical dreadnaught armour should look exactly the same each should look hand crafted and not like it all came out of the same mould (oh the irony) From a modeling point of view filling the gap between the bottom of the launcher and the terminators back will make it loook more solid.

what did you use to do the bases? i love the diamond plate effect on the ground looks just like a space hulk floor should look.

Thanks for the C&C guys.
This was my first time trying white on a larger surface. I undercoated with bleached bone and used what I 'thought' was 3 thin coats (not thin enough...thats what i get for thinking; lol). More practice required.

The cyclone launchers are in place with magnets (so i can switch the launchers out to different models in the event i wanted to field an all TH/SS list or play around with a speeder heavy C:SM army, so the idea of filling the gap between launcher and body wouldn't be practical (If I were to make these a permanent attachment then, yeah, definately would create a more solid structure on the termies back).

For the bases i used the HO scale diamond plate from Plastruc:
http://www.plastruct.com/Pages/OnlineProductDetail.lasso?-op='eq'&CCode=PS-155
The Apoth bases were done in a bit larger scale (O scale) to add variation (and because I ran out of HO scale and this was the closest thing available on no notice...drats)
Just traced the base size onto the plastic sheet, cut it out with scissors, glued to a standard base with Testors model airplane glue, once dry I trimmed the edges with a razor-knife, primed black. When i was ready to put the model on the base i test fitted the location and scratched the primer off where the models feet were going to be (to get to raw plastic). Then i glued the model down with testors (I also drilled a hole in 1 foot and used a large plastic rod so i could pin the model to the molded holes on the bases). Once the glue was cured (24 hours) i painted the base boltgun. On some i did a black wash to add variation among the bases and on others I used small plastic rod to create water/fuel lines on the deck and/or a section of flat strip to create the yellow warning stripe sections.
Lately i've been thinking of re-painting the base edge in a neutral grey just to make it look cleaner.
