**Knightley**

Update: almost done'ish I guess

**Spacewolverine**

I really like his helmet and sword. The sword is very cool, the hilt is really nicely done Knightly.

**Knightley**

Thanks Wolvey, appreciate the comments

Update: Had a 1500p Tau vs Nid game on the weekend Vs Mad, was a up hill slog for him as I was a very shooty army (being Tau) vs a not as shooty Nid list, I'd like to write up a narrative batrep sometime this week, however in the mean time the Sargent from the terminators is done.

**JustaerinAtTheWall**

Beautiful looking sword Knightley! The man looks very noble!

**ZergSmasher**

Interesting look for the sword, very different from all the silver ones with blue highlights you see out there usually. Sarge as a whole looks great!

**evildrcheese**

Noice.

Very nice.

EDC

**Mad..**

Nice terminator, and nice game yesterday thanks Knightley!

The after game chat was very useful as it helped confirm a couple of things in my head, and the game of execution force was fun too... looking forward to the next one for sure.

**Knightley**

@Justaerin - Thank you, I think the addition of the Grey Knight sword helps with that impression, its a sleek long sword after all

@Zerg - Cheers, a long time ago I made the decision to only have blue bladed power weapons for rank and file, any of the psychic users get a helix or a single helix.

@EDC - Thanks!

@Mad - No worries, will need to do more of the after game briefing's as they can be very useful when hearing what the enemy thought.

Update: got into terminator number 4

**Gitsplitta**

I love the dark color on the face of the rocket launchers!

**Knightley**

Thanks Gits, I took the inspiration from the contemptor I completed earlier

Update: getting there with this model, should be done soon.

**Spacewolverine**

Always have loved the cyclone missile launchers. He is so crisp as always. Do you add the studs or are they already on the terminators?

**Gitsplitta**

wow, the white really jumps on the red! Nicely done.

**evildrcheese**

Another awesome terminator, nice work on the cyclone.

EDC

**Knightley**

@Wolvey - Currently I'm not in the league of extraordinary rivet'ers so these ones were already on the model

@Gits - Cheers, I really like the white/red combo, I'm thinking of doing a red/offwhite combo on an Eldar force if/when I get to it.

@EDC - Thanks mate!

Update: terminator 4 done

**Camkierhi**

Always looked a bit off to me, the cyclone, but as always you have done a brilliant job on him. Looking great, colours really work well. Good job sir.

**JustaerinAtTheWall**

Wow! The cyclone adds to a slightly dark, knight-like feel to your terminators. your skinwork is phenominal!

**inmygravenimage**

Proper lush

**Knightley**

@Cam - Thank you!

@Justaerin - Cheers, I am quite happy with his face, I even tried some stubble on his head to boot

@Graven - Thanks mate.

Update: last terminator well under way

**inmygravenimage**

I love the way that you make something so distinctively your own despite being covered in another chapter's iconography. Fantastic stuff.

**ZergSmasher**

That termie with the CML turned out spectacularly! The face is probably the best part though. Was it the hardest part to do?

**evildrcheese**

Nice. Always have liked that DV assault cannon termie.

EDC

**d00mspire**

I love these terminators!

**Gitsplitta**

Stunning job on the face of the CT... beautiful.

**Azazelx**

Great work on these terminators!

**Knightley**

@Graven - I think I've been subtly drawning everyone in, remember I had the DA shoulder pads attached to marines in 2011 so since then you've been slowly seeing more and more DA stuff appearing on them, soon I'll just down and out use Azreal as my CM

@Zerg - Not really I seem to have gotten a sweet groove with faces in the last year or so and can almost do them in my sleep.

@EDC - Cheers, I ended up chopping off the other assault cannon and attaching another variation to make it even more custom.

@d00m - Thanks and welcome aboard!

@Gits - Thank you, remember if you are still after me doing you some faces let me know

@Azazelx - Thank you for the compliments!

Update: got a little bit done over the weekend, was out walking playing pokemon go with the Mrs and mini-Knightley, sore legs but we had fun.

**Gitsplitta**

Forgot about that... yes, definitely yes. Just have to get my butt in gear. New termie looks awesome. I think your painting is getting more dynamic as you go. That's a very good thing in my book.

**Knightley**

No worries, lemme know if you send any and I'll get them squared away for you.

Update: Last terminator is done

**Solar_lion**

All very nicely done. As mentioned Faces are spot on. I really struggle with them.

**Knightley**

Thanks Solar, I posted up a guide on how I paint faces on the society for fine painters blog, maybe have a look, it could help?

Update: Group shot of all five!

**Gitsplitta**

Fantastic job Knightley... you should be proud of that. Wish you had access to a good graphics program... they're really good looking when corrected for brightness and white balance.
