Terminator update

I finished the initial painting and I assembled my Terminators. I love the "ole" pose, so get over it.

Terminators and Terrain

I didn't get as far along on my Terminators as I intended because I got hooked on playing Dawn of War, but I did get the initial layers of pink and gold on them. I also got started on a new set of terrain that are 6 12"-blocks that I plan to be used either as stand alone pieces or that can be place into sets to make larger formations. A picture of the first piece, though incomplete, is here included.

Chaos Terminators

I worked on my Chaos Termies today. I built them into basic "blocks" that I'll prime and then put the first coat of paint on before I fully assemble. This unit is a test. I had been doing some painting on the sprue, and really liked it, but didn't like the difficulty of cleaning the flashing. I hope to have the best of both worlds with this method. You will see I mounted all of the pieces onto the copper wire that I use to pin and then inserted the wire into some left-over insulation board from the terrain building. The models themselves are basically sprue-made with most of the lightning claws coming from the Chaos Terminator Lord/Sorcerer model. Two of the claws I had to modify from powerfists. One I used the blades from the CSM knives to make it into a claw, and the other I used some extra bits from the Chaos Spawn. I'm pretty happy with those few mods. Otherwise, I'm fine with these models right out of the box.

Models include: Terminator Champion w/ Chainfist and Heavy Flamer

I'm dedicating them to Slaanesh which is why I'm using more LCs than PFs.

BT Scout Update and plans

I have the update photos for both my 5 Neophytes and my painted terrain that I included in my last post. I still need to work on how I paint faces, but this was really my first attempt. I also need some practice with their hair. 

In other news, I figured out I have enough bits for my 2000 point CSM list. I will start working on them this next week and will hopefully have pics up for my next update. The list includes about 55 infantry models so it will take me a little while to get it up and running.

Also, this week is my birthday (wed.) and GenCon starts in Indianapolis (where I live) this week. I think my wife and I are considering going for a couple of hours this year to just check out, not participate necessarily. I've also been finding some new places to play in the last week and I'm anxious to get a real list together for some games outside of my usual gaming group.

Terrain

I built some hills for my regular group to use this weekend out of 2" insulation board. I don't yet have pictures of it painted, but here are the pictures from the "glued together" stage. In other modeling news, I'm pretty much finished with 5 Neophytes for my Black Templars, they make an appearance in these photos to follow. I also purchased a Chaplain so I don't need to sub anything in any practice games I may do with my BT army lists.
