Because bustin' through walls is awesome?

OH YEAAAAH.

because you dont just break through a wall and say oh no

**Sandyman11**

Awesome diorama man, especially like the chainsword stuck in the pillar

If the weathering is going to be like that all over the termie, then it's gonna be top-notch

One question; what did you use for the metal bit he's just burst through?
Keep up the good work

**Hits_the_spot**

Thanks for the colour break down. Very helpful.

**sub-zero**

Y'know what this is missing? some blood splatter on the wall and pillar. I think that would be a sweet addition to the piece.

**olekkkkk**

small update

Don't worry. There will be blood :]

**tipios**

Looking really good. It's coming along nicely, I said it before but I love the weathering and detailing. Can't wait for the finished product.

**sluggaslugga**

Call me a smartass perfectionist but on the 3rd picture (of the llst update) you can see a fail on the shoulderpad... on the white stripe there is a spot where the blue is too bright... see it?

(I apologize for my bad grammar, I haven't been to dakka for a while and I forgot how to write properly)

**ReardenPro**

I don't see any such mistake. The light hitting the model has something to do with it looking bright, but do not see any place where the paint is actually lighter than the rest of the model.

**General somethingorother**

It's just on the tip of the stripe, the sort of weathered bit

**Element206**

Gorgeous blue on that Termy. Love the weathering detail your painting also. How are you making the rust stains on the armor....could you PM me your secret?

**tipios**

lol sluggaslugga.
As it is a WIP i think you should forgive a painting error until it is finished, also how close to the screen are you sitting to see such a mistake? I can't tell.

**Billinator**

Oh, man, you really need to add in some "how i did X, Y and Z" to the pictures... Pretty awesome weathering effects, and the diorama is pretty neat!

Would've perfeered some classic 'stealers, tho'!

I know it's a WIP... But I'm just helping the guy out.
(the mistake is on the stripe... The top weathering on the bottom corner of the 3rd pic)

**olekkkkk**

Fail on shoulderpad - blue should be darker, but weathering will fix it

Rust is made with glazes of bestial brown, no magic trick, only lot of water. Bestial looks very good as rust on green or blue basecote.

Thank for all comments :]

**sluggaslugga**

Why dead IG?

It maybe a little mistake but if he didn't know it might (might!) spoil (a little bit) a probably perfect model...

Because noone would notice they were gone

I think he said they are supposed to be chaos cultists
