Title: Space Hulk terminator
Post by: Griffit on March 14, 2011, 08:49:00 PM
Greetz one and all,

I'm working on my first Space Hulk termi for the Lowlands painting competition in a few weeks.
let me know what your think.  I'm not planing on winning, but I am going to give it the best I've got  :D

Lovely!! :o

I've got a team of them I'm planning for the LPL, so I'm afraid I can't show you them yet.

The only teeny tiny thing you could do would be to use a darker colour at the pointy end of the gems, then a small dot of pure White for reflection as opposed to the coloured dot. I tend to find it makes it that slightly more realistic/shiney looking.

@andym: Which gems are you talking about; all of them?
Thnx for the advice

The ones on the knee pad are the ones that struck me most. It would just make them stand out from the rest of the armour. A wee touch of gloss varnish on the gems once you've finished also helps for realism.

But honestly if you left it how it is, it's still brilliant!!!

a WIP shot of the base
It's going to be a desert theme with (red) purple candles
Much like  these (http://griffitscorner.blogspot.com/2010/10/blood-angel-objective-counters.html) but with other colour of candle ofcourse.

C&c welcome

The terminator looks great.
Is it possible to add some scratches / damage / dirt?
In my opinion traces of wear and tear add to the overall impression.

Looks good, I so wanted to buy a copy of Space Hulk when it came out for my son and I to play but the wife would have killed me (and understandably so) for spending $100 on a board game  lol.

That's 18 years of fun for just 30 bucks or something like that  :D

about the battle damage; it brings a lot more character, but I don't feel confident enough for the job  :?

cheerz

Concerning terminators I'd rather see technical bases (the whole space hulk thing, you know), but there's definitly nothing wrong with this base.
very nice job.  ;D
