Like the title says... I'd considered adding these pics to my previous SW thread, but since it's 5 months old now I thought I'd avoid the risk of thread necromancy and start a new one! Gives you an idea how fast I paint though! It works out at about 1 Terminator per month! Although in my defence, I must state GTA 5... Anyway, enough waffle, here's the models... As always, feedback etc much sought & appreciated...

Group shot...


This one will be a Lone Wolf or part of a Termie squad as necessary...


Regular squad (if such can be said for Terminators)...









And yes, I know the barrels aren;t drilled out... I may do them one day but I'm happy with them as is for now... [/pre-emptive comment}

Nice and clean work, great job.

I love that lighter blue color, either im a moron and using the wrong color, or i am incapable of getting my paint to that color? Any tip's for painting space wolves? They look great.

Thanks for the comments... No real trick to the armour colour - it's just the trio of GW paints for SWs - The Fang as a base, Nuln Oil wash, then layer with Russ Grey and edge highlight with Fenrisian Grey. It's much better than the old range with Spacewolf Grey etc...

Very cool, nice job!

Do you use a gloss varnish over the basecoat? I see now what I've been doing wrong I just base coated in russ grey lol. And now I'm debating stripping down all the models I just completed >. <

Killer, love the classic look, very 2nd edition (which is awesome)

@urbanevil no there's no varnish involved, just paint and a wash. Hope you get a finish you're happy with...

I recommend you drill the barrels-it will complete them more, Good job!

This. You spend hours of shading and blending and not the two minutes it takes to drill out the gun barrels. It really does make a difference.

However, having said that, the paint job looks really good. I like it a lot. Probably because it reminds me of my guys.

I can't stop laughing at the face of the 3rd pic! He looks funny!

It looks good, crisp and clean, very good.

looks good ... i am still deciding how to paint mine ... not to sure about the blue tint in the main coat .. but dont want solid grey either ... so now debating between a darker shade of what yours are ... or a grey with a different color tinting to it then blue.

fighting against a metallic grey for the basecoat.

@Deadshot, yeah, he does look funny - somewhere between mad Victorian gent & Dr Robotnik... Wasn't intentional but I do quite like how it eneded up

@SilenzZz I guess I'm a bit lazy just using GWs own shades, but they are better than their old colours by a country mile... It's just fortunate they're a shade I do like a lot, not too light or too dark

it may just be how the flash brings out the blue in it even more ... they look nice

i just can't make up my mind how i want to paint mine hah!

Very nice. I'm totally stealing that color scheme on the Storm Shield, been wracking my brain on what to do on them, the black looks good. I have never done the blue/grey for my wolves personally, always went with light or slate grey, these look awesome though, very well done!

I really liked the paint job, thanks for sharing.

Nice work, but if it is too late for you to drill the barrels out, a couple of black spots for the barrels would go a long way to completing the model.
