I have always wanted to build a decent sized Deathwing Force, Terminators are my favorite models in the game, I had started them once before and then sold them off to fund another project. I then picked up a few of the termies from the Dark Vengeance set and rather enjoyed painting them, as I love the color scheme and fluff behind it. I left it at that because I am also building a Sons of Horus army at this point, that was until I saw the new models releasing, immediately pre-ordered a bunch and here we are. Anyway that brings me to this little ditty... I decided since I am doing all DW, but wanted to also have some fast attack/air support to fight the other flyers in my local group, that I would paint this one in the DW Scheme (Coincidentally I am not a huge fan of the RW scheme to start). However I figured it was something like a loan from the RW so I left the couple pieces of iconography and even made it piloted by a RW member, since DW is all terminators.





Let me know what you think!

Looks good! Red might be a bit bright, but well done.

Thanks, it's the red I have used on my Death Wing Termies in the past, it's just a lot of it on this thing haha.

Its refreshing to see a more original paint scheme for a flier instead of the "usual".

With that bright of a red, you should highlight the edges with some skull white, gold, or other light tertiary color. I've done it with a dif color and it makes it look fantastic. If your army is more than 2 colors.. even better.

Bright colors and crisp lines. What's not to like?

Good job.

Well done for the paint job looks clean and crisp. But mostly how fast did you wack that one out! +1 for speed sonic.

I will definitely take a look into that before I throw some Matte Varnish on this one, thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks all for the kind words! I think it was good to take the different approach. Still trying to decide on how I want to base all of these guys, but more to come when I decide what army I actually want to finish first.

@Elder -- haha yeah, I actually assembled all of the DW on Saturday, my FLGS put them out on Thursday Night (oops), so I capitalized on that and picked up all of my stuff. It literally took me probably 6+ hours to paint that nephilim.
