**Mad..**

These are really coming together nicely, yeah you say they might be over detailed, but with your paint style they come out looking so good!

**Knightley**

@Justaerin - Thanks, I always figured that having the contrast to red as another spot colour added that little bit more to the models

@Mad - Aww shucks, they are almost done btw!

Update: almost done, just need squiggles

**inmygravenimage**

Ah, always need more squiggles! Looking snazzy mind.

**Knightley**

Oh but of course, I've added the squiggles, what say you now?

**lipsdapips**

Consistent as ever! They'll slide right in with the rest of your boys seamlessly.

**ZergSmasher**

Awesome stuff! Have you got a lot more to do for this army?

**evildrcheese**

Amazing work on the Cents Knightley!

EDC

**Gitsplitta**

Wow, the greens and blues really change the feel of the figures... give them a lot more interest and variety for such small additions. I like!

**Knightley**

@LDP - Cheers dude, I put them next to some marines and my god its glorious!

@Zerg - Yeah, if you check the front page under the 'To do' spoiler tag it shows everything left to build/paint/play

@EDC - Thank you!

@Gits - Thanks, I like that you can tell they are part of my army, but so wildly different when viewed different.

Update: started on 5 terminators with Thunderhammer and Stormsheild, getting the armour washing underway.

**Knightley**

Update: more base colours layed down

**JustaerinAtTheWall**

Nothing screams "screw it, i'm done taking your crap" like a thunder hammer. What colors do you plan on using for those blue areas?

**Spacewolverine**

Hate my memory, thought I posted on the finished Centurions. I really like what you did with the Grav effects, very similar to how I do mine as well. They are by far some of my favorite models, they came out amazing and I'm sure well worth the time and effort you put in them.

Excited to see the hammernators finished, love the use of the Dark Angel shields, adds that special touch!

**Knightley**

@Justaerin - Hah yes! Thunder hammers, for when you really need to get your point across. Colour wise probabbly light blue on the edges and might try some lightening on the flat panels.

@Wolvey - Thanks! I do try to incorporate a number of other chapters icons in my force, primarily DA and secondary Black Templars.

Update: Getting through more base colours

**Knightley**

Update: almost done all the base colours!

**Knightley**

Update: washes applied

**Spacewolverine**

You are tearing through them Knightley! They are looking awesome, I really feel the shields complete the models, they look just amazing.

Excited to see what you do with the hammers.

**Camkierhi**

Looking brilliant. Very blue hammers. No doubt they will end up amazing.

**evildrcheese**

Obligatory 'Hammer time'.

Damn you fast, do you stop to eat sleep?

EDC

**Knightley**

@Wolvey - Thanks man, not as quick as I would hope, I'm about a month behind where I wanted to be and there is still another four models after these guys so that might be another month :(

@Cam - Fingers crossed, I'm planning on doing something a little more basic this time, for speed.

@EDC - I sleep on the weekends

or at least I try

Update: got a big chunk of the shields done

**inmygravenimage**

Do you know what really sickens me? It's not that you're stupidly talented. It's that you don't suffer from hobby ADHD...

**Camkierhi**

^ What he said.

Excellent work.

**Knightley**

@Graven - I suffer from something far worse, collectors disease, I have so many models to paint I can't afford to change so quickly. Oh and you say I don't have ADHD, what would you consider the last 18 months of Necrons, Chaos and Tau?

@Cam - Thank you

Update: Metals started after getting through the reds,

**JustaerinAtTheWall**

I'm 90% sure it's an acquired syndrome. I began this hobby as an 11-year old saying "Okay, i'll only paint SM and ocassionally Tau." I now desire to collect and paint every army besides Slaanesh and SOB.

**Knightley**

@Justaerin - Hahah yeah, thats how it all starts, I remember being 13 and thinking I'll do a Dark Angels Company and that'll be awesome. Well I have half that now. But so much more in other armies.

Update: Terminators are done

**Spacewolverine**

Gah! Heresy! Those unhelmeted terminators!!!

All joking aside, I really like them Knightly, the blue highlights are terrifically done. I love them except you know my preference, the unhelmeted heads, except for the Savage looking one with a Mohawk!

**evildrcheese**

Top work as ever Knightley.

EDC

**Knightley**

@Wolvey - Hah, un-helmeted is my jam now! they will all freeze to death in the vacuum of space, but will look good doing so

@EDC - Thanks man!

Update: Tiggy is next, case colours basically done I think

**Gitsplitta**

Termies turned out great Knightley, they'll be a great addition to your army.

**Knightley**

Cheers Gits, I am itching to try them out this weekend

Update: washes done and base layers on the robe applied

**Knightley**

First stage highlights on the armour
