I've recently caved in a picked up the Forge World bundle deal on the Cataphractii terminators. I mulled over which legion I wanted to paint up whilst waiting the week for them to arrive before settling on blood angels, picking up some new paints to honour the occasion though I could likely do with grabbing some new brushes too. I've assembled one of the terminators enough to paint it up in a sample scheme using a poor reference photo for a heresy era blood angel scheme (red with gold trim?) and was hoping to get some feedback on the colour choice and execution.

Here he is so far:



Thanks for any help

That's coming along pretty sweet man, all I can say is keep up the good work. are you going with helmets, bare heads or a mix?

You're clearly a top painter mate. Nice work!

Good to see the complete models!

The moreI see these models the more I fall in love with them

Nice painting dude, will be good to see more all grouped up

Thanks guys, I'm really enjoying working with the cataphractii kits, and despite fears of miscasting/bubbles across them I just ended up with a few minor bubbles in the top of my second thunder hammer. I ended up with 25 helmets and 5 unhelmeted heads so the squad leaders will be helmet less with the rest in helmets just to make the leaders stand out a little more.

I've finished the pads/head for terminator number one and primed the second but I intend to take my time painting the whole group given how much they've costed.
